    In field of wastewater treatment, anaerobic treatment is gradually introduced to reduce energy consumption and excess sludge. One more benefit is energy recovery as methane gas which can be used as energy source. The anaerobic treatment is introduced to treatment condensate from kraft pulp process, which contains high concentration of methanol. Methanol is easily biodegradable, but there are difficulties in stability of granule. In this work, pilot scale test with condensate from kraft pulp process was performed, and stability of granule was improved by new chemical addition.

    For the recovery boiler, it is preferable that black liquor is as high dry solids as possible, but the higher dry solids, the higher viscosity of black liquor and brings some problems such as plugging issue or unstable operation. In order to solve these problems, and to decrease power consumption, we had changed to dissolve the dust into 55% solids black liquor instead of heavy black liquor. As a result of it, we can keep the heating surface area more cleanly in the vacuum evaporator as well as energy saving in the black liquor process. In addition, dry solids of heavy black liquor has been improved.

    Our stock preparation system produces recycled pulp for liner board machine. After No. 1 line was installed in 1981, we have reinforced it to 1991 while recycled pulp increased and increased production of liner board machine. Today, we produces about 80% of recycled pulp for liner board machine. Our stock preparation system has three lines which are No. 1 and No. 2 line used 100% JOCC and No. 3 line used JOCC and mixed waste paper. Then No. 1 and No. 2 line pulper was integrated in 2004 and this pulper was distributing recycled pulp to two lines of screen system.
    In this time, we introduce the case that we could achieve saving a big energy such as improving pulper outlet quality, reducing a number of screens afterward, stopping auxiliary equipment by simplification of the system flow and so on by introducing innovative machines between pulper and screen system in No. 1 and No. 2 line.

  • Creation of Fine Paper from Hardwood Bleached Sulfate Pulp (part II)

    It will be covered in this latter part of the report, why has the paper from hardwood pulp become the main stream of the fine paper production.
    In April in 1952, the paper from the hardwood bleached sulfate pulp without any softwood pulp was produced for the first time in the world at Yufutsu mill in Hokkaido, overcoming lots of conventional beliefs. It had been thought for long time that the paper should be made from softwood pulp. But Mr. Mizuno and his partner Mr. Shimura believed to be able to make the paper from hardwood sulfate pulp excellent in its characteristics, in respects of those other than strength, if prepared properly in preparation stage of the pulp. As well known, in view of composition of the wood, the hardwood contains much hemicellulose which will behave as binder of the interfiber bonding that contributes to strength of the paper, and if cooked in sulfate process, much more hemicelluloses would remain in the pulp than cooked in sulfite process. In other words, the hardwood is able to put forth his value by the combination with the sulfate process. So, the paper from hardwood showed the strength equal to the paper from softwood sulfite pulp, in spite of its short fiber length. In addition, as expected by Mr. Shimura, shortness of the fiber length itself has brought to the paper many excellent characteristics, for instance sheet formation, bulkiness, stiffness, opacity and so on. Therefore, the paper from hardwood has earned high reputation in the market for usage of printing, wrapping and others. It was not long before this method started to be adopted actively in Japan, followed by the rest of the world. In addition, generally speaking, hardwood grows much earlier compared with softwood. Therefore, many large paper making companies are developing the afforestation estate aiming for self-sufficiency of the raw materials of the paper. It might be said that pulp and paper industry is on its way to sustainable ecological model attached with the progress of the biotechnology together.

  • Strength Restoration of Paper from Recycled Pulp by an Addition of a Polyacrylamide Dry Strength Resin and Its Distribution within a Fiber Wall

    In order to study the mechanism of strength restoration of paper from recycled pulp by means of an addition of a dry strength resin and its distribution within a fiber wall, papers with or without a commercially available cationic polyacrylamide resin (PAM) were prepared from hardwood and softwood bleached kraft pulps which were recycled through drying, rewetting and disintegrating up to 30 times. The increment of tensile strength caused by addition of PAM steeply increased up to 3 times recycling in spite of the almost same PAM content. And then the increment became nearly constant with a further increase of recycle number, although the total PAM content within the recycled sheets gradually decreased. Measurement of PAM content at the exact surface of fibers was determined with an electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis (ESCA) . Further depth profiles of PAM within a fiber wall were determined by an attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR⁄FT-IR) combined with a sputter etching method. These results obtained by ESCA and the ATR⁄FT-IR with etching indicated that the PAM tended to be distributed nearby the fiber surface more than inner fiber wall with increasing recycle number. A decrease in scattering coefficient of the freeze-dried wet papers with increasing recycle number suggested a decrease in external fibrils projecting from the wet fibers, which was in accordance with SEM observation. The change in distribution of PAM within a fiber wall with recycling therefore should be attributed to the decrease in external fibrils caused by recycling, so that it should influence the increment of tensile strength by the contained PAM. These results suggested that the PAM located nearby the fiber surface would be significantly important for strength development by addition of PAM.
