To investigate the manufacture of the pulp from beech by NH
3 base SP process, a number of phenomena of cookings and qualities of unbleached pulps are compared with those of Na and Ca base processes. The results are as follows:
1. The cooking velocity by Na base is the largest of the three, and that by NH
3 base is only slightly larger than that by Ca base, when in each case the cooking liquor has the same composition; comb. acid 1.0% and total acid 4.8%. This relation is contrary to that found between NH
3 and Na base in neutral and bisulfite (pH=2.8) medium cookings. (Japanese report, Fig. 1, 2)
2. The cooking velocities by the liquor of NH
3 base having comb. acid 0.5% and Na base having comb. acid 1.0% are nearly the same, and the qualities of the both pulps are almost the same. Here the resemblance between the easy soluble bases may be recognized. But the behavior of Ca base seems to differ essentially from that of NH
3 and Na base; that is, the cooking velocity by the Ca base liquor of redused comb. acid increases to the same degree as that by NH
3 base. But the properties of pulp by this process are inferior to those of NH
3 base pulp in Sieber number (lignin), in ash content, uniformity and viscosity. Although the viscosity of the pulp is somewhat improved in this case, it is still lower than that of NH
3 base pulp. In case of NH
3 base process, to obtain the same Sieber number pulp as that by Ca base process at the same pulp yield, it is possible to use the liquor of less amount of comb. acid, and the cooking velocity larger than that by Ca base process, and the pulp higher in viscosity, lower in ash content, and more uniform. (J. r. Fig. 3, 6, 7, 8, 9)
3. The NH
3 base pulp, washed with distillated water, gives only 1/3 amount of ash of Ca and Na base pulps, but when it is washed with water containing nonbolatile kations, the NH
4+ ion contained in the pulp is quickly exchanged with them, so that the amount of ash increases nearly to the value of Ca and Na base pulps. (J. r. Fig. 8, Table 4)
4. It seems that, the amounts of pentosan, α-cellulose and benzene-alcohol extract of pulps are scarsely affected by the kind of base and the cooking conditions, but depend almost upon the pulpyields. (J. r. Fig. 5, 10)
5. In general, on the cooking of beech, characters of NH
33 base process are remarkably superior to those of Ca base process, and are the same as those of Na base. When NH
3 base is compared with Na base, the less mol of NH
3 (still less in weight) than that of Na gives the same cooking results.
