Wheat Straw Pulp

Summary The present paper reports our investigation into the use of two peroxygen reagents, peroxymonosulfate (PMS) and dimethyldioxirane (DMD), in bleaching sequences with peroxide to bleach wheat straw mechanical pulp, their reactivity with ferulic acid model compounds, and the likely relation between the two aspects. It was observed that combinations of PMS or DMD with peroxide offered a synergy leading to substantially improved brightness development in bleaching of wheat straw pulp. At the same time, these oxidizing reagents, especially DMD, were shown to be highly reactive with ferulic acid derivatives and increased the removal of ferulic acid from wheat straw pulp in bleaching. The results would suggest that the presence of non-lignin, peroxide-resistant chromophoric components, such as ferulic acid derivatives, might be an important factor limiting the brightness development of wheat straw mechanical pulp by conventional peroxide bleaching.

In this paper, the effect of microwave treatment on the hydrogen peroxide bleaching of Soda-AQ wheat-straw pulp was investigated. The results showed that microwave treatment could increase the brightness of the hydrogen peroxide bleached pulp. The fiber coarseness of microwave enhancing peroxide bleached pulp was higher than that of the peroxide bleached pulp. However, the arithmetic average fiber length, the length weighted average fiber length and weight weighted average fiber length of the former was lower than that of the latter. Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectra showed that CrI(%) crystallinity of microwave enhancing peroxide bleached pulp was similar as that of the peroxide bleached pulp but all higher than that of the Soda-AQ wheat-straw pulp. N·O′KI infra-red crystalline index of microwave enhancing peroxide bleached pulp were lower than that of the peroxide bleached pulp. The FTIR spectra of lignin showed that the microwave treatment had some influences on the methoxyl and phenolic group in lignin.

The Cost

In order to study the preparation and property of the multi layer composite paperboard, bleached wheat straw pulp, bleached chemical thermal mechanical pulp and waste newsprint pulp are used as raw materials to making paperboard. The results show that the bonding force between fibers of grasses chemical pulp is strong which can improve the bonding strength between the layers. Bleached wheat straw pulp is used as outer layer and waste news paper pulp is used as inner layer to make composite paperboard has high physical properties. Bleached chemical thermal mechanical pulp fiber is shorter, so paperboard tightness and physical strength reduce, which can be used as the lining of the multi layer composite paperboard to improve the stiffness of the paperboard and reduce the cost.

The present work sought to make a contribution to the study on application of Mg(OH)2 in peroxide bleaching of the wheat straw soda-AQ pulp. The results showed that: (1) for an unbleached pulp, when 24-73% of the NaOH was replaced with Mg(OH)2, a higher brightness and viscosity were achieved comparing to the NaOH as the sole alkaline source. The brightness and viscosity of the bleached pulp at 48% of Mg(OH)2 replacement were respectively 6.4%ISO and 107 mL.g-1 higher than those of the NaOH as the sole alkaline source. (2) for a chelated oxygen-delignified pulp, the brightness of bleached pulp at 24% Mg(OH)2 replacement was considerable to that of the NaOH as the sole alkaline source, and at 48% Mg(OH)2replacement 2.8% ISOlowerthan that of the NaOH as the sole alkaline source. While the viscosity increased consistently with the increase of Mg(OH)2, and the COD load of bleaching filtrates at 24-48% Mg(OH)2 replacement was lower 22-31% than that of the NaOH as the sole alkaline source. Therefore, partial substitution of Mg(OH)2 for NaOH had positive effects on peroxide bleaching of wheat straw soda-AQ pulp.

Oxygen Bleaching

Before oxygen bleaching and hydrogen peroxide bleaching, wheat straw pulp was bleached using xylanase. The effect of enzymatic stage on pulp properties and bleachability has been studied and compared with reference (control) pulps, processed without enzyme addition. Experimental results showed that, the optimal concentration of wheat straw pulp was 10%, the optimal treatment time and dose of enzyme was 60 min and 1.25AXU/g respectively. Oxygen pressure decreased from 0.6MPa to 0.5MPa when conditions of hydrogen peroxide bleachingremained unchanged and wheat straw pulp achieved the same whiteness. Hydrogen peroxide consumption decreased from 2% to 1.8% when oxygen bleaching has the same conditions and achieved the same white degree.

Summary The effect of hydrogen peroxide bleaching on the structure of thermomechanical (TMP) and chemothermomechanical (CTMP) wheat straw paper pulps was investigated. The results obtained by thioacidolysis indicated that the TMP treatment did not significantly affect the ß-0-4 structures of lignins whereas, the alkali conditions of sulfonation (CTMP) and bleaching induced the cleavage of the ß-0-4 bonds and an increase in the S/G ratio. Moreover, it was concluded that bleaching and sulfonation are responsible for the partial solubilisation of the p-coumaric and ferulic acid esters. The ethers of p-coumaric acid are not significantly affected by these treatments whereas, the ethers of ferulic acid are degraded, as shown by acidolysis data. These results underline the structural differences of wheat straw pulps compared to wood pulps.

Pulp Properties

Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) substituted by magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)2) as control agent and alkali source were investigated in chlorine dioxide bleaching and hydrogen peroxide bleaching of NaOH-AQ wheat straw pulp. The effects of alkali sources on pulp properties, including brightness and tensile strength, were investigated. The four experimental groups, including DNaOHPNaOH, DNaOHPMg(OH)2, D Mg(OH)2PNaOH and DMg(OH)2PMg(OH)2, were studied in this paper. The results showed that the brightness and tensile strength of DMg(OH)2PMg(OH)2 pulp was slightly lower than that of DNaOHPNaOH pulp. But there were more residual ClO2 and residual H2O2 in the effluents of DMg(OH)2PMg(OH)2 bleaching process than that in the effluents of DNaOHPNaOH bleaching process, which illustrated that DMg(OH)2PMg(OH)2 bleaching process had higher bleaching efficiency than DNaOHPNaOH bleaching process. The influence of Mg(OH)2 replacing NaOH was more obvious when it was used in the bleaching process of P stage than that in the D stage. The replacement of NaOH with Mg(OH)2 in D Stage can lower the dosage of alkali used in the following P stage.

Mechanical Pulps

Three biphenyl (I, II, III) compounds and a benzylarylether (IV) compound were synthesized to detect and quantify the presence of phenolic phenylpropenols in unbleached, peroxide-bleached, or sodium borohydride-reduced mechanical softwood pulps. The methodology used is based on a gas chromatography – mass spectrometry search of the prepared compounds in the residue obtained after ethylation, thioacidolysis, and desulfurization of the pulps. Detection of biphenyl I ([Formula: see text]4 × 10–6 mol g–1) in unbleached and NaBH4-reduced pulps is indicative of the presence of phenolic coniferaldehyde units in these pulps. Traces of biphenyl II, found in the peroxide-bleached pulp, probably came from ferulic acid units formed by oxidation of coniferaldehyde by H2O2. No biphenyl ether III or benzylaryl ether IV were detected in the three pulps. This result indicates that phenolic phenylpropenol units are not present in softwood mechanical pulps and do not contribute to the fast part of their photoyellowing.Key words: mechanical pulp, photoyellowing, phenol, coniferyl alcohol, biphenyl.

Main Effects

This study puts particular emphasis on the role of copper ions in the performance of hydrogen peroxide bleaching (P-stage). Owing to their variable levels across the bleaching line due to washing filtrates, bleaching reagents, and equipment corrosion, these ions can play a major role in hydrogen peroxide decomposition and be detrimental to polysaccharide integrity. In this study, a Cu-contaminated D0(EOP)D1 prebleached pulp was subjected to an acidic washing (A-stage) or chelation (Q-stage) before the alkaline P-stage. The objective was to understand the isolated and combined role of copper ions in peroxide bleaching performance. By applying an experimental design, it was possible to identify the main effects of the pretreatment variables on the extent of metals removal and performance of the P-stage. The acid treatment was unsuccessful in terms of complete copper removal, magnesium preservation, and control of hydrogen peroxide consumption in the following P-stage. Increasing reaction temperature and time of the acidic A-stage improved the brightness stability of the D0(EOP)D1AP bleached pulp. The optimum conditions for chelation pretreatment to maximize the brightness gains obtained in the subsequent P-stage with the lowest peroxide consumption were 0.4% diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA), 80ºC, and 4.5 pH.
