Avhandlingen försvaras på svenska. © Katarina Karlström Stockholm 2009 Department of Fibre and Polymer Technology Teknikringen 56-58 SE-100 44 Stockholm Sweden Abstract Converting wood into paper is a complex process involving many different stages, one of which is pulping. Pulping involves liberating the wood fibres from each other, which can be done either chemically or mechanically. This thesis focuses on the most common chemical pulping method, the kraft cooking process, and especially on a recently developed improvement of the impregnation phase, which is the first part of a kraft cook. Extended impregnation kraft cooking (EIC) technique is demonstrated to be an improvement of the kraft pulping process and provides a way to utilize softwood to a higher degree, at higher pulp yield. We demonstrate that it is possible to produce softwood ( Picea abies ) kraft pulp using a new cooking technique, resulting in a pulp that can be defibrated without inline refining at as high lignin content as 8% on wood, measured as kappa numbers above 90.

  • Alternative & Emerging Pulping Technologies: Non-Kraft Processes
    ., 1 FOR PRESENTATION AT THE “INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON POLLUTION p.f’. ‘TP”f,~~~~~ IN THE MANUFACTURE OF PULP & PAPER”, AUG. 18-20; 1992 AT WASHINGTON, D.C. ,?iLTERNATIVE & EMERGING PULPING TECHNOLOGIES: NON-KRAFT PROCESSES by Bruce I. Fleming, Boise Cascade R&D, Portland, OR 97217 Kraft pulping, invented over 100 years ago, gradually achieved dominance as a result of continued refinements. In the last 40 years, scores of processes have been proposed to replace kraft pulping, but few have received even a single mill trial. It is a big step from a laboratory demonstration to commercial reality, and most of the competing processes have failed to do sufficiently well in ;,lot trials to convince investors to go ahead at full scale. __ This does not mean that the kraft process will always be dominant, but it indicates the extreme effort and cost that is involved in commercializing any alternative to this established and versatile pulping technique. Kraft, of course, is itself a moving target. New refinements, like extended delignification, made it tougher to beat. This brief review covers the main competitors to the kraft process for the production of chemical pulp, namely the sulfite processes, soda-anthraquinone (AQ) pulping and the solvent pulping processes. The processes selected for discussion are commercially proven, or at least have had extensive pilot plant trials . 1. SULFITE PROCESSES The sulfite processes provide pulps which have inferior strength properties to those of kraft pulp but nonetheless are enjoying some success in the European marketplace at present because, unlike kraft pulp, they respond well to bleaching with hydrogen peroxide.

An additional objective is the characterization of formability as a mechanical property of paper and the development of a testing platform for the evaluation of formability. The formability (extensibility) of paper was improved using a set of methods which included: mechanical treatment of fibres, spraying of agar and gelatine, in-plane compaction of paper and unrestrained drying. Extensibility of paper was increased from 4% points (untreated fibres) to 15–18% points (mechanical treatment and addition of polymers), and up to 30% (in one direction) after compaction. This corresponds to tray-like shapes with a depth of 2–3 cm, depending on the curvature. Such values of formability are the highest reported so far in the scientific literature.
