The cooking conditions in semichemical pulping of beech by cooking liquor used the direct sulphitation method has been studied. This paper reports the effects of cooking temp., cooking time on characteristics of pulp.
Semichemical pulping by reproduced cooking liquor (pH 5.48-7.2) at the liquor to wood ratio of 5 to 1 produced refinable pulp within cooking times of 3 hours at 165°C, 1 hour at 175°C and 0.5 hours at 185°C, but scp was burnt more than above-stated cooking times at maximum temp.
The range of cooking conditions is small at reproduced cooking liquor by direct sulphitation and accordingly yield of pulp is more than 70%, roe number of pulp is more than 20.
This phenomenon seems to be by reason of existence of Na
2SO
3 at acid side and lack of Na
2SO
3, Na
2SO
3 in cooking liquor.
