AI Technical Summary
In existing recycled fiber pulp board pulping processes, fiber flexibility and re-swelling capacity decrease, resulting in insufficient effective bonding area between fibers after pulping. Excessive mechanical processing increases energy consumption and white water load, and existing reinforcing agents are difficult to effectively penetrate fiber wrinkle areas and fine fiber contact interfaces.
2,2,6,6-Tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxy radicals, sodium bromide, and sodium hypochlorite were used to carboxylate cellulose suspension to form aldehyde-carboxylated nanocellulose. This nanocellulose was then combined with low-molecular-weight chitosan and high-molecular-weight trimethyl chitosan. A 4-O-methyl-D-glucuronic acid-D-xylan locking solution was added, and a flexible locking layer was formed through low-intensity pulping to improve the fiber binding ability.
Without increasing mechanical processing load, this method improves the ring crush retention and overall strength of recycled paper, reduces energy consumption and white water load, and enhances the bonding stability between fibers.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of pulping technology, and more specifically to a pulping process based on recycled fiber pulp boards. Background Technology
[0002] Regenerated fiber is an important raw material for the paper industry to save virgin wood pulp and reduce the pressure of waste paper disposal. Regenerated fiber pulp boards, derived from waste corrugated boxes, linerboard scraps, and recycled packaging paper, typically require disintegration, screening, purification, dewatering, pressing, drying, and baling before being used in paper production. Because recycled fibers undergo multiple papermaking, drying, and rewetting processes, the fiber walls are prone to collapse, irreversible hydrogen bonds form on the surface, and fiber flexibility and reswelling capacity decrease, resulting in insufficient effective bonding area between fibers after pulping.
[0003] Current processes often restore fiber bonding by extending the disintegration time, increasing the pulping intensity, or increasing the pulping load, thereby creating more fine fibrous structures on the fiber surface. However, regenerated fibers already suffer from shortened length, significant keratinization, and a high proportion of fine fibers. Excessive mechanical processing will further break down the fibers, increasing the content of fine fibers, colloidal substances, and dissolved impurities in the pulp, resulting in decreased filtration speed, increased white water turbidity, increased system load, and increased energy consumption.
[0004] Existing technologies also employ reinforcing agents such as starch, polyacrylamide, chitosan, hemicellulose, and nanocellulose to improve the strength of recycled paper. However, these components are usually mainly adsorbed on the outer surface of fibers or dispersed in the aqueous phase of pulp, making it difficult for them to effectively penetrate the fiber wrinkles, microcracks, and fine fiber contact interfaces formed after drying and compaction. In particular, although nanocellulose has a high specific surface area, there is still a contradiction between dispersion, retention, and water filtration. If chitosan and other natural polysaccharides such as xylan are combined too early in the aqueous phase, they are also prone to forming large aggregates, reducing the efficiency of interfacial positioning. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In view of this, the purpose of this invention is to propose a pulping process based on recycled fiber pulp board to solve the problem that existing recycled fiber pulp board pulping relies on high-intensity beating to compensate for fiber damage, resulting in high energy consumption and white water load, and limited improvement of ring crush strength of packaging paper.

[0039] Preferably, the forming process employs a long-net forming method, with the quantitative control being 450 g / m². 2The wet paper web is sequentially dewatered in a vacuum chamber and then in a press.

After pressing, the wet paper web has a dryness of 42%. The pressed wet paper web then enters a multi-cylinder drying section for drying.

[0040] The beneficial effects of this invention are:
[0041] This invention first carboxylates northern bleached sulfate softwood pulp board, then oxidizes it with sodium periodate to form aldehyde-carboxylated nanocellulose, giving the nanocellulose both aqueous dispersion and near-interface anchoring capabilities. Compared with ordinary nanocellulose used directly as a wet-end reinforcing agent, this structure helps reduce agglomeration and loss in the pulp and provides a reaction basis for the subsequent stable distribution of chitosan.
[0042] This invention introduces low molecular weight chitosan and high molecular weight trimethyl chitosan sequentially onto the surface of aldehyde-carboxylic acid nanocellulose. This treatment can balance structural stability and crack migration ability, making it easier for chitosan-aldehyde-carboxylic acid nanocellulose to enter the fiber wrinkle area, crack area and fine fiber contact interface after the initial fragmentation of the regenerated fiber pulp board, and reducing the aqueous phase flocculation caused by single cationic polymers.
[0043] This invention uses 4-O-methyl-D-glucuronic acid-D-xylan as a delayed addition component, which forms a flexible locking layer after the chitosan-aldehyde-carboxylic nanocellulose completes its interfacial positioning, rather than forming a large particle complex in the aqueous phase of the pulp beforehand. This method is beneficial to improve the retention of the added component at the fiber contact interface and maintain the stability of the interfacial bonding during subsequent low-intensity pulping, screening, shaping and drying processes.
[0044] In summary, compared with existing methods that rely on high-strength pulping or ordinary wet-end strengthening agents to improve the strength of recycled paper, this invention is more suitable for recycled fiber pulp board production scenarios. It can reduce mechanical processing load and white water load without significantly changing existing pulping, refining, screening and forming equipment, thereby improving the ring crush retention capacity and overall strength of recycled packaging papers such as linerboard and corrugated base paper.

[0142] The difference between Comparative Example 1 and Example 1 is as follows: 1750g of sodium periodate and 700g of ethylene glycol are not added in S2. The carboxylated cellulose wet material obtained in S1 is washed five times with 500,000g of deionized water, and then deionized water is added to prepare a dispersion with a solid content of 7g / L. The dispersion is then circulated three times under high pressure homogenization at 60MPa. The amount of all raw materials, addition time, temperature, pH and beating degree in S3 to S10 are the same as in Example 1. All other conditions are the same as in Example 1.
[0143] The difference between Comparative Example 2 and Example 1 is as follows: In S3, 280g of low molecular weight chitosan, 19600g of deionized water, and 200g of glacial acetic acid were not added, and an acidic solution of low molecular weight chitosan was not prepared. Instead, all the aldehyde-carboxylic acid nanocellulose dispersion obtained in S2 was stirred at 25°C to 30°C for 30 minutes. In S4, the amount of high molecular weight trimethyl chitosan was adjusted from 90g to 370g, and 37000g of deionized water was added. After stirring at 25°C for 30 minutes, the mixture was added to the dispersion obtained in S3, so that the added oven-dry weight of chitosan was the same as in Example 1. The other conditions were the same as in Example 1.
[0144] The difference between Comparative Example 3 and Example 1 is as follows: In S3, the amount of low molecular weight chitosan was adjusted from 280g to 370g, and 25900g of deionized water and 264g of glacial acetic acid were added.

The other conditions were the same as in Example 1.
[0145] The difference between Comparative Example 4 and Example 1 is as follows: all the 4-O-methyl-D-glucuronic acid-D-xylan locking solution obtained in S5 is not added late in S8, but is added to the dispersion obtained in S4 immediately after obtaining the chitosan-aldehyde-carboxylic acid nanocellulose dispersion, and premixed at 25°C for 30 min; in S7, all the premixed dispersion is continuously added to the slurry within 90 s, and mixing continues for 4 min after the addition is completed; in S8, only 110,000 g of process water at 40°C and pH 6-7 is added, and shear mixing continues for 3 min; the other conditions are the same as in Example 1.
[0146] The difference between Comparative Example 5 and Example 1 is as follows: In S7, the chitosan-aldehyde-carboxylic acid nanocellulose dispersion obtained in S4 is not added; only process water at a temperature of 40°C is added and the slurry mass concentration is adjusted to 38 g / L before shearing and mixing for 4 min. In S8, the 4-O-methyl-D-glucuronic acid-D-xylan locking solution obtained in S5 is not added; only the pH is maintained at 6-7 and shearing and mixing is continued for 3 min. After completing low-intensity pulping in S9, all the chitosan-aldehyde-carboxylic acid nanocellulose dispersion obtained in S4 is continuously added to the slurry within 90 s and mixed for 4 min. Then, all the 4-O-methyl-D-glucuronic acid-D-xylan locking solution obtained in S5 is continuously added to the slurry within 60 s and mixed for 3 min before proceeding to S10. The remaining conditions are the same as in Example 1.
[0147] The difference between Comparative Example 6 and Example 1 is as follows: 1000g of 4-O-methyl-D-glucuronic acid-D-xylan is not added in S5; 160g of sodium hydroxide, 100000g of deionized water, and 300g / L hydrochloric acid aqueous solution in S5 are treated according to the same pH procedure as in Example 1, and then deionized water is added to bring the total mass to 110000g; 904g of aldehyde-carboxylic acid nanocellulose dispersion (based on oven-dried cellulose) is taken separately, and 72g of low molecular weight chitosan and 24g of high molecular weight trimethyl chitosan are added. After anchoring modification is completed according to the same pH, temperature, addition time, and stirring time as in S3 and S4, the mixture is added to the chitosan-aldehyde-carboxylic acid nanocellulose dispersion obtained in S4, so that the total amount of oven-dried solids added in S7 and S8 is the same as in Example 1; the other conditions are the same as in Example 1.
[0148] Performance testing
[0149] Pulps from Examples 1 to 4 and Comparative Examples 1 to 6, after low-strength beating in S9, were taken as test samples, with each sample containing at least 500g of oven-dry pulp. The test pulp was diluted to a concentration of 3g / L using standard water for physical testing of pulp conforming to GB / T 22903-2008. After stirring for 10 minutes in a stirrer at 300 rpm, laboratory paper sheets were prepared according to the rapid Kaiser method specified in GB / T 24326-2009, with a target basis weight of 180g / m³. 2 After forming, the paper was wet-pressed at 0.40 MPa for 5 minutes and then vacuum-dried at 95℃ for 10 minutes to obtain paper sheets for physical property testing. All paper sheets were subjected to temperature and humidity treatment under the standard atmospheric conditions specified in GB / T 10739-2023 before testing: 23℃, 50% relative humidity, and 24 hours. At least 20 sheets were prepared for each sample, with 10 sheets used for ring crush strength testing, 5 for tensile strength testing, and 5 for bursting strength and thickness testing.
[0150] White water turbidity: 500 mL of the slurry after shear mixing in S8 of Examples 1 to 4 and Comparative Examples 1 to 6 was taken respectively, stirred at 300 r / min for 1 min, and then filtered through a 200 mesh sieve. The filtrate was collected as the white water sample. The turbidity of the white water was measured using a turbidity meter, and the unit is NTU.
[0151] Freezing degree and beating energy consumption: Freezing degree was determined according to the Schubert-Riegel method specified in GB / T 3332-2004. Slurries obtained from Examples 1 to 4 and Comparative Examples 1 to 6 (S9) were diluted with standard water to a test slurry mass of 2.0 g of oven-dry slurry. The test temperature was controlled at 20℃. Each sample was tested in triplicate, and the arithmetic mean was taken as the freezing degree, expressed in °SR. Beating energy consumption was determined using the same laboratory Walley beater. The beating method followed GB / T 24325-2009. All samples were uniformly beaten to 32.0°SR. After the beater ran unloaded for 3 minutes, the temperature was zeroed and recorded. Then, the test slurry was added, and beating was performed under the same equipment load conditions until the target freezing degree was reached. A 0.5-class three-phase energy meter was used to continuously record the power consumption. After deducting the unloaded power consumption, the energy consumption per unit of oven-dry slurry mass was calculated, expressed in kWh / t.
[0152] Thickness: Thickness was measured in accordance with GB / T 451.3-2002: Five sheets of paper were taken for each sample after standard humidity conditioning, and each sheet was cut into 100mm×100mm samples for testing. Thickness was measured at five different locations on each sheet of paper.
[0153] Ring crush strength: Ring crush strength was determined according to GB / T 2679.8-2016: A standard-conditioned paper sheet was cut longitudinally into 152.4mm × 12.7mm specimens, with 10 specimens tested for each sample. Before testing, the thickness of each specimen was measured, and a ring crush specimen holder matching the thickness was selected. The specimen was inserted into the annular groove and tested on a compression tester at a compression rate of 12.5mm / min. The maximum pressure at which the specimen crushed was recorded, and the ring crush strength was calculated.
[0154] Tensile strength: Tensile strength was determined according to the constant-rate tensile method specified in GB / T 12914-2018. Paper sheets that had undergone standard moisture conditioning were cut into specimens 15 mm wide and 180 mm long, with 10 specimens tested for each sample. The test clamping distance was 100 mm, and the tensile speed was 20 mm / min. Tensile strength, elongation at break, and tensile energy absorption were recorded, and the tensile index was calculated based on the paper's basis weight.
[0155] Bursting strength: Bursting strength was determined according to GB / T 454-2020. For each sample of paper after standard moisture conditioning, 10 locations without creases, holes, or obvious pulp stains were selected for testing. The number of tests was the same on both sides of the sample. The maximum pressure at which the paper broke was recorded.
[0156] Table 1 Performance Test Results
[0157]
[0158] Data Analysis: Table 1 shows that, under similar freeness conditions, the ring crush strength, tensile index, and bursting strength of Examples 1 to 4 are generally higher than those of the comparative examples, while the white water turbidity and unit beating energy consumption are generally lower. Compared with Comparative Example 1, Example 1, without increasing the freeness, shows an increase of approximately 22.6%, 19.1%, and 23.9% in ring crush strength, tensile index, and bursting strength, respectively, and a decrease of approximately 52.6% and 23.9% in white water turbidity and unit beating energy consumption, respectively. This indicates that the aldehyde sites formed by sodium periodate contribute to the stability of the chitosan-nanocellulose structure. Compared with Comparative Example 6, Example 1, with the same total amount of added solids, shows an increase of approximately 20.4%, 13.5%, and 20.6% in ring crush strength, tensile index, and bursting strength, respectively, and a decrease of approximately 43.3% in white water turbidity. This indicates that the locking effect formed by the delayed addition of 4-O-methyl-D-glucuronic acid-D-xylan cannot be achieved by ordinary addition of solids. Compared with Comparative Example 4, Example 1 showed an increase in ring crush strength of approximately 36.4% and a decrease in white water turbidity of approximately 68.8%, indicating that if xylan is pre-complexed with chitosan-aldehyde-carboxylic acid nanocellulose in the aqueous phase, it is prone to agglomeration and reduced fracture interface localization efficiency. This demonstrates a synergistic effect between aldehyde-carboxylic acid dual-site construction, segmented chitosan anchoring, and glucuronic acid xylan delayed locking.
[0159] In terms of application effects, this invention is applicable to the pulping process of recycled fiber pulp board mainly composed of recycled fibers from waste corrugated cardboard boxes. It can improve the ring crush retention capacity and overall strength of packaging paper without significantly changing the existing pulping, refining, screening and forming equipment, and reduce pulping energy consumption and white water load. It is suitable for promotion in recycled packaging paper production lines such as linerboard and corrugated base paper.
