Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of waste paper pulp processing, and particularly relates to a method for improving the performance of waste paper pulp. BACKGROUND

[0002] Utilization of waste paper pulp (i.e. waste paper recycled pulp) is one of the core paths for the paper industry to realize "circular economy", and its significance covers multiple dimensions such as resource protection, environmental protection, and economic efficiency; the paper industry has traditionally relied on wood (virgin fiber), and the utilization of waste paper pulp reduces the consumption of forest resources from the source; virgin wood pulp papermaking needs to go through a complex process such as "logging-pulping-bleaching", which has high energy consumption and heavy pollution; the waste paper pulp processing flow is more concise, and the environmental load is significantly reduced, in addition, it can also reduce the cost of enterprises and drive the recycling industry chain.

[0003] However, the fiber damage and fiber hornification in the waste paper pulp are more prominent, and the current mainstream methods include physical methods, chemical methods, and biological methods; when a single method is used, the performance improvement of the waste paper pulp product is limited, and therefore a method for improving the performance of waste paper pulp in combination is needed. SUMMARY

[0004] The purpose of the present application is to provide a method for improving the performance of waste paper pulp, which has the effect.

[0005] The above technical purpose of the present application is achieved by the following technical scheme: comprising the following steps:

[0006] S1, pulp pretreatment: mixing waste paper pulp with water, adjusting the pulp concentration, stirring at 30-40 DEG C, and making the fibers fully swell to obtain a treated pulp;

[0007] S2, pulp impurity removal: putting the treated pulp into a screening device to collect the undersize pulp;

[0008] S3, extrusion dispersion: putting the undersize material into an extruder to rub and twist the fibers to obtain dispersed fiber pulp;

[0009] S4, ultrasonic treatment: re-adjusting the concentration of the extruded pulp, and then putting it into an ultrasonic processor to strip the ink particles on the limiting surface to obtain pretreated pulp;

[0010] S5, preparation of a compounded liquid: mixing alkaline amino acids, acidic amino acids, and neutral amino acids according to the mass ratio, adding ionized water and stirring until completely dissolved to obtain an amino acid compounded liquid;

[0011] S6, modification treatment: mixing the pretreated pulp after ultrasonic treatment with the amino acid compounded liquid in S5, adding a pH adjuster to adjust the pH to 7-8, and then stirring at 50-60 DEG C for 20-40 mins.

[0012] S7, washing and drying: the mixed slurry after the reaction in S6 is washed with deionized water, and after the pH of the slurry reaches 6.5-7.5, it is dried to obtain high-performance pulp.

[0013] Further provided in the application is that the basic amino acid, the acidic amino acid and the neutral amino acid in S5 are preferably lysine, glutamic acid and glycine.

[0014] Further provided in the application is that the mass ratio of the lysine, the glutamic acid and the glycine is 3-5:2-3:1-2.

[0015] Further provided in the application is that the concentration of the amino acid compound solution in S5 is 2-4 wt%.

[0016] Further provided in the application is that the mass ratio of the pretreated slurry to the amino acid compound solution in S6 is 1:0.8-1.2.

[0017] Further provided in the application is that the pH regulator in S6 is preferably a sodium carbonate solution.

[0018] Further provided in the application is that the slurry concentration in S1 is 8-12 wt%, and the stirring time is 15-20 mins.

[0019] The application has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] 1. The impurities in the pulp are removed, and large-size impurities such as coarse fiber bundles and ink particles can be removed. In addition, when the pulp is extruded, the excess water is removed, and the fibers can be slightly rubbed and dispersed by the extrusion roller with rhombic convex points on the roller surface. After ultrasonic treatment, the micro-ink particles remaining on the surface of the fibers are further stripped by the cavitation effect of the ultrasonic waves, and the fiber cutting rate is reduced, so that the whiteness and strength of the physically treated pulp are improved.

[0021] 2. The amino group of the basic amino acid can enhance the positive charge on the fiber surface and promote fiber combination. The carboxyl group of the acidic amino acid can improve the hydrophilicity of the fiber and assist dispersion. The neutral amino acid can act as a cross-linking bridge to strengthen the action between active groups. Through the treatment of multiple amino acid compounds, the simultaneous optimization of whiteness and strength is realized.

[0022] 3. The amino acid used is a natural bio-based material, which is biodegradable and has no toxic and harmful substance emission in the treatment process, and is friendly to the environment. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
