JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe use of SAQ is more selective for carbohydrates stabilization and delignification. It is economically more attractive due to the increase of pulp production. In this report, the economic impact and the environmental conservation impact by using SAQ as a cooking additive was studied for a Japanese kraft pulp mill which LBKP production capacity is 1,000 tons⁄day.
At first, the cost-benefit as an economic impact by SAQ was estimated. When the merit by SAQ (reduction of active alkali and increase of pulp yield) and the demerit by SAQ (decrease of energy generation caused by the reduction of organic solid in black liquor) were calculated for this model pulp mill, it could obtain cost-benefit definitely by SAQ usage.
At second, the raw material wood chip saving was estimated as an environmental conservation impact by SAQ usage. As a result, it is estimated to be about 11,700 tons⁄Y in this model pulp mill. Furthermore, the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions in the procurement of wood chip saving was estimated to be about 3,900 tons⁄Y. Thus, kraft cooking using SAQ has economic and environmental advantages comparing to the original kraft cooking.View full abstractDownload PDF (300K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSOver the years antidotal and specific mill observations have been made of sodium silicate carry over from the recycle process impacting drainage and contributing to deposition issues. Sodium silicate has been shown to have benefits beyond being a bleaching aid in the flotation deinking process but the observations of issues at the paper machine has raised concerns. Lots of work and interest has been spend in developing a sodium silicate replacement for pulping chemistry and field testing to date looks good and promising. Benefits obtained from the sodium silicate replacement in pulping chemistry are as follows :
•Similar DIP quality
•Lower anionic trash carry-over from the pulp mill
•Lower process conductivity in both pulp mill and paper machine
•Improved yield by lower reject consistency
•Improved pulp mill performance and paper machine runnability
•Lower overall chemical cost
Recent work looking at replacing sodium silicate in the recycle plant has given opportunities to observe the difference in drainage time, turbidity and deposition behavior. This paper will first discuss the difference in drainage in a polymer only and polymer⁄nano-particle silica retention and drainage program when sodium silicate is not used in the deinking process. Then show how sodium silicate interacts with paper coatings to form deposits potentially harmful to paper machine performance using tackiness measurement in conjunction with colloidal stickies concentration.View full abstractDownload PDF (533K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThis report describes an important factor of pitch troubleshooting and introduces the newest pitch control technology.
In recent years, pitch troubles on the paper making process have been increasing by increase in the blending ratio of waste paper and closed water system. This problem is one of the most difficult subjects for the paper making engineers who explore the stable operation and the improved quality.
The pitch from waste paper has been able to remove to some extent in the pulping process, but the remaind pitch is carried into the paper making process. It may cause some troubles with a wire, a press, and a drier.
If removal of the pitch was insufficient in the pulping process, the pitch troubles will be caused frequently. The pitch troubles will cause the increase in chemicals and the reduction of productivity. Therefore, we consider that it is the best method to solve the pitch troubles by removing more pitches in the pulping process.View full abstractDownload PDF (413K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSEnergy prices are soaring beyond all expectations. On the other hand, new technologies are emerging to tackle this challenge. But how much energy can be saved without putting paper production at risk? In the paper industry, we are use to-for a good reason-to be rather conservative in applying new inventions. Savings and cost factors tend to be marginal in relation to the overall cost and income. Any disturbance in production, however, will cost a lot in lost profits.
The rising price of energy is putting pressure on paper production costs. Besides the pulp production, the paper machine line consumes a significant amount of energy. When the production volumes are high, the process equipment is a heavy user of energy. From this process equipment, the big pumps and paper machine line drives are the heavy users of energy. New technologies in process design, pumping principles and variable speed electric drives can cut the pumping energy bill dramatically.
Vacuum pump choice and mode of operation also has a significant impact on energy consumption. High power consumption is needed to produce the paper machine vacuums, needed in drainage and web handling, i. e. for the suction boxes and the suction rolls. Further on, these vacuum elements often represent a big portion of the friction increasing machine drive loads. Dimensioning the system can be a tricky task, because so many variables are involved, and many of them (such as raw material, water, water temperatures) are often beyond the control-at least beyond economical control-of the machine personnel. By utilizing energy efficient pumping principles and controllable technology, this obstacle can be overcome.View full abstractDownload PDF (525K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSApplication of alkaline sulfite-anthraquinone (AS-AQ) cooking was investigated as a pretreatment for enzymatic saccharification and bioethanol production from Japanese larch (Larix leptolepis) and bamboo (Phyllostachys pubescens) culm. It was found that a 60⁄40 ratio of NaOH⁄Na2SO3 in the cooking liquor could produce high-yield pulp with the lowest lignin content. According to a method of filter paper cellulase activity, it was shown that the lignin of pulp inhibited enzymatic saccharification when both AS-AQ and soda-AQ pulps were treated by cellulase. Comparing the pulps at a given lignin content revealed that the enzymatic saccharification ratio of larch AS-AQ pulp was higher than that of soda-AQ pulp. Furthermore, it was found that the saccharification ratio of bamboo culm AS-AQ pulp was higher than that of larch AS-AQ pulp, and that the bamboo pulps with a lignin content of 6.8% were more easily hydrolyzed than filter paper. These results clearly show that the AS-AQ method is more effective than the soda-AQ method as a pretreatment, and that bamboo culm AS-AQ pulp is a promising raw material for bioethanol production.View full abstractDownload PDF (209K)
