Oxidizing unwashed kraft lignin with white liquor and membrane filtration enables in-mill surfactant production while preserving sodium and sulfur balance.
Multi-stage filtration, lignin precipitation, and electrodialysis cut black liquor recovery energy while separating reusable sodium chemicals.
A quaternary ammonium, amine, and sulfide-generating accelerator speeds lignocellulose digestion to raise pulp output with less wood use.
Air and steam stripping treats Kraft foul condensate, removing ammonia and recovering methanol.
Replacing caustic soda with lime and adding aluminum sulfate recycles black liquor organics, increasing pulp yield while eliminating sewage pollution.
Adjusting black liquor pH to 1-9 insolubilizes xylan, resolving low extraction rates and high alkali costs in hardwood processing.
Phosphonate polymers sequester calcium ions to prevent scaling, enabling higher pulp yields.
