29 results about "Kraft process" patented technology

The kraft process (also known as kraft pulping or sulfate process) is a process for conversion of wood into wood pulp, which consists of almost pure cellulose fibers, the main component of paper. The kraft process entails treatment of wood chips with a hot mixture of water, sodium hydroxide (NaOH), and sodium sulfide (Na₂S), known as white liquor, that breaks the bonds that link lignin, hemicellulose, and cellulose. The technology entails several steps, both mechanical and chemical. It is the dominant method for producing paper. In some situations, the process has been controversial because kraft plants can release odorous products and in some situations produce substantial liquid wastes.

The invention discloses a preparation method of a nitrogen-sulfur co-doped lignin-based hierarchical porous carbon material and supercapacitor energy storage application, and belongs to the technical field of preparation methods and application of porous carbon materials, and the preparation method comprises the following steps: (1) dropwise adding an ammonium sulfate solution into sulfate pulping black liquor, and adjusting the pH value, after standing reaction, drying to obtain ammonium sulfate precipitated lignin; (2) uniformly mixing lignin with potassium tartrate and potassium nitrate, drying and grinding to obtain a mixture; and (3) pyrolyzing the mixture in an inert atmosphere, washing the carbonized product with dilute acid, filtering, and drying to obtain the porous carbon material. Potassium tartrate promotes formation of graded pores through the mild pore-forming effect, and the foaming effect of potassium nitrate can inhibit formation of coal tar and excessive carbon skeleton etching in the pyrolysis process. The supercapacitor electrode material prepared from the porous carbon has high specific capacitance, excellent cycling stability and high energy density.
