[0040] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the steps of the poplar wood pulping process provided by the present application is shown in Figure 1, Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the flow of the poplar wood pulping process provided by the present application is shown in Figure 2. The poplar wood pulping process comprises the following steps:
[0041] Step S10, selecting qualified Japanese cedar wood chips and bamboo raw materials, and pretreating the Japanese cedar wood chips and bamboo raw materials to obtain prepared materials;
[0042] Step S20, placing the prepared materials into a cooking pot, and using a Vimeco intermittent cooking C-mode combined with a steaming pre-impregnation mode to cook the prepared materials to obtain raw pulp;
[0043] Step S30, screening, oxygen removal, bleaching and multiple washing of the raw pulp, and adding a new type of resin control agent to the raw pulp during oxygen removal and washing to obtain finished pulp;
[0044] Step S40, sending the finished pulp to a pulp storage tower for storage.
[0045] The above process utilizes Valmet's batch cooking C-mode in the cooking system, adding a steam pre-impregnation mode for cooking wood chips and bamboo. This removes a significant amount of gas and organic acids from the wood chips, improving the penetration rate and reaction efficiency of the active chemical solution during cooking, shortening the cooking cycle and thus increasing single-pot output. Furthermore, a new resin control agent was developed and added to the raw pulp during deoxidation and washing, increasing the resin removal rate of the cedar pulp and reducing the impact of resin blockage on papermaking.
[0046] Among them, Valmet's intermittent cooking C-mode is an advanced pulping technology that can realize alternating pre-hydrolysis and alkaline cooking in the same cooking pot. Any scale formed during the pre-hydrolysis process will be dissolved during the alkaline cooking process, thereby reducing production losses and quality fluctuations; and steam pre-impregnation can make the Japanese cedar wood chips absorb water more evenly, which helps to improve the utilization rate of active chemical liquid, thereby reducing the amount of liquid and achieving better pulping effect. It should be noted that Valmet's intermittent cooking C-mode requires attention to the precise control of temperature, pressure and liquid addition to avoid uneven cooking, and the steam pre-impregnation mode requires ensuring uniform steam distribution and sufficient penetration of the raw materials to improve the softening effect.
[0047] Specifically, the cooking temperature of the prepared materials is controlled at 160-162°C, and the cooking time is controlled at 310-330 minutes, wherein the cooking time is from the start of loading the pot to the end of putting the pot out.
[0048] Furthermore, qualified Metasequoia wood chips and bamboo raw materials are all mechanically peeled, which can evenly remove the outer bark, reduce cortical residue, and ensure the effect and quality of subsequent processing.
[0049] Furthermore, in step S10, the moisture content and quality of the cedar and bamboo are tested to ensure that they are suitable for pulping. Qualified cedar wood chips have a length of 20-30 mm, a width of 15-20 mm, a thickness of 3-5 mm, and a bulk density of 160-180 Bdkg / , with a moisture content of 30%-60%; qualified bamboo raw materials are 20-40mm long, 5-15mm wide, and have a moisture content of 30%-50%. In addition, the Japanese cedar wood chips and bamboo raw materials must be uniform in size and clean, free of sand, mold, debris, long strips, large pieces, and large knots, so pre-treatment is required.
[0050] Specifically, the pretreatment of Japanese cedar wood chips and bamboo raw materials includes the following steps:
[0051] Step S101: stack qualified Japanese cedar wood chips and bamboo raw materials into a silo and let them stand for 5 to 7 months;
[0052] Step S102, transporting the cedar wood chips and bamboo raw materials after standing to a swing screen for screening to obtain cedar wood chips and bamboo raw materials of uniform size;
[0053] Step S103, the uniform-sized cedar wood chips and bamboo raw materials are transported to a washing machine for washing and dewatering to obtain the prepared material.
[0054] In the above technical solution, the purpose of storing the prepared material for 5-7 months is to improve the cooking efficiency, reduce impurities and stabilize the production supply through natural air drying, resin degradation and moisture balance.
[0055] Further, in this step S20, active chemical liquor, i.e., white liquor, is added to the digester, which is mainly used for cooking the fiber raw material to dissolve lignin and other non-fiber substances therein, so as to separate the fibers. The main components of the active chemical liquor are sodium hydroxide, sodium sulfide and sodium sulfate, wherein sodium hydroxide is used to provide a strong alkaline environment to destroy the structure of lignin, sodium sulfide is used to enhance the solubility of lignin and reduce cellulose degradation, and sodium sulfate is used to supplement the loss of sulfur, which will be converted into sodium sulfide in the recovery system, in addition, there is a small amount of sodium carbonate, which is generated by the side reaction in the recovery process. Since waste liquor, i.e., black liquor containing dissolved organic and inorganic substances, is generated after cooking, it is necessary to wash the pulp.
[0056] Specifically, in this step S30, multiple washing of the pulp is completed by using multiple double-roller pulp washers. Compared with a vacuum pulp washer, the double-roller pulp washer has better washing cleanliness and lower consumption of active chemical liquor. In addition, the pulp is bleached by using a D0 tower, an EOP tower and a D1 tower, which can improve the bleaching efficiency and quality of the finished pulp, and the bleaching and washing are alternately performed to ensure the cleanliness of the finished pulp.
[0057] Figure 3 The preparation steps of the novel resin control agent provided in the present application are shown in the schematic diagram. The preparation of the novel resin control agent includes the following steps:
[0058] Step S301, deionized water is added to the reaction kettle, and the temperature is raised to 50℃; then a chelating agent is added and stirred until it is completely dissolved;
[0059] Step S302, fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether and sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate are sequentially added to the reaction kettle, and the temperature is maintained at 50-55℃, and continuous stirring is performed to form a transparent solution;
[0060] Step S303, sodium polyacrylate is slowly poured into the transparent solution, and nano-silicon dioxide is added, the stirring speed is increased and continuous stirring is performed for 20 minutes to obtain a mixture;
[0061] Step S304, the mixture is transferred to a high-pressure homogenizer and processed for 2-3 cycles;
[0062] Step S305, the mixture after homogenization is sampled and detected pH, and the pH is adjusted to 8.8~9.2 with sodium hydroxide solution, and then it is filtered after being cooled to below 30℃, to obtain a new resin control agent.
[0063] In the above technical solution, the non-ionic surfactant is a fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether, the hydrophobic chain of the non-ionic surfactant can entangle the resin molecules, which can destroy the hydrogen bond network of the resin aggregate, and the hydrophobic modified surface of the hydrophobic silica adsorbent can preferentially adsorb the hydrophobic groups of the resin; the concentration of metal ions is first reduced and controlled by using a chelating agent, and then the resin dispersion efficiency is improved by using a surfactant to strip and anchor nanoparticles. The manufacturing steps have the characteristics of no phosphating, and the non-phosphating resin control surfactant has good stability and heat resistance in a high temperature environment, and can maintain its cleaning effect under high temperature conditions and is not easy to decompose.
[0064] Specifically, in steps S301~S303, a high-speed dispersion stirrer is used for stirring, which is an anchor type stirrer with a rotation speed of 0~1000rpm. The high-speed dispersion stirrer can control the stirring speed and stirring time, and achieve the purpose of fine mixing. In step S301, the preferred rotation speed of the high-speed dispersion stirrer is 200rpm, and the stirring time is preferably 10min; in step S302, the preferred rotation speed of the high-speed dispersion stirrer is 300rpm, and the stirring time is preferably 30min; in step S303, the rotation speed of the high-speed dispersion stirrer is increased to 500rpm, which is the best.
[0065] It should be noted that in step S301, the chelating agent is preferably EDTA disodium salt, which forms a stable complex with various metal ions, thereby hindering the catalytic effect of metal ions; in step S303, the sodium polyacrylate can be pre-wetted with a small amount of water, and then slowly added into the transparent solution to avoid caking; the particle size of the nano-silica is preferably 50nm; in step S304, the pressure of the high-pressure homogenizer is 50~100MPa, and the pressure is preferably 80MPa when processing the mixture, to ensure that the particle size is not greater than 200nm; in addition, the high-pressure homogenizer can be replaced by a high-shear emulsifier; in step S305, a 200-mesh stainless steel filter screen or a bag filter is selected for filtering the cooled mixture.
[0066] The above specific embodiments further illustrate the purpose, technical solutions and beneficial effects of the present application. It should be understood that the above description is only a specific embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the protection scope of the present application. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
