Abstract:
A device for admixing an agent in the form of gas or liquid to a material flow. The device comprises a chamber (1) with an inlet (3) and an outlet (4) for connection to ingoing and, respectively, outgoing line (7, 8) for throughflow of the agent, and means (12, 19, 20) for the supply of agent to the chamber (1). The chamber (1) is defined by a cylindric jacket (2) where the inlet (3) and, respectively, outlet (4) is provided with flanges (5, 6, 18, 21), and where the inlet flange (5, 18, 21) has a smaller diameter than the ingoing line (7). Means (12, 19, 20) for the supply of agent are located in the jacket (2) of the chamber (1).
Abstract:
Refining element intended for a refiner with flat or conical opposed refining surfaces, which are rotary relative to each other for working and refining lignocellulosic material during its passage through a refiner gap (15, 35) between the opposed refining surfaces from an inlet portion with smaller diameter to an outlet portion with greater diameter. The refining element (19, 39) is formed with a refining surface with bars (20) and intermediate grooves (21) which extend over the entire refining element. The bars (20) in the inlet portion of the refining element (19) form an angle of 50-85 DEG with the radius or generatrix of the refining surface. The angle decreases along the surface of the refining element (19, 39) so that the bars (20) in the outlet portion form an angle between -25 DEG and +25 DEG with the radius or generatrix. The bars (20) in the inlet portion are located at a greater mutual distance than in the outlet portion.
Abstract:
A method at the bleaching of pulp, comprising bleaching with peracetic acid where the pH value during the bleaching reaction is held within 5-7. In the final phase of the bleaching with peracetic acid, metals released in the pulp are rebound to the fibers in the pulp by increasing the pH value to at least 9, whereafter the pulp is washed. The pH value is increased preferably 1-10 minutes before the washing. It is thereby possible to close the bleaching process in counterflow without risk of accumulation of the metals in the process.
Abstract:
A method of purifying and recovering waste water from a fiberboard manufacturing process. The waste water is supplied to an evaporator (11), in which steam from a steam generator (12) is used as heating medium for evaporating the waste water and concentrating impurities. These impurities are thereafter separated mechanically from the evaporator (11). The steam generated in the evaporator (11) is used in a steam converter (14) for restoring the heating medium used in the evaporator (11) from condensate to steam phase. The condensate formed in the steam converter (14) is purified from solved substances in a purifying unit (15). The condensate thus purified is used as feed water in the steam generator (12), from which steam is supplied to the evaporator (11).
Abstract:
A method of producing mechanical and chemi-mechanical pulp with a yield above 85 % from lignocellulose-containing material for the manufacture of paper or board products. The material is subjected to mechanical processing in at least two steps. The material at its feed into the first step has a temperature below the softening temperature of lignin. When the material is fed into at least one subsequent processing step, it shall have a temperature above the softening temperature of lignin.
Abstract:
A method of oxygen delignification of pulp from lignocellulosic material at medium concentration in two steps. An extended delignification is obtained in that the temperature in the first step is held below 90 DEG C, that the difference in temperature between the steps is lower than 20 DEG C. The pressure in the first step is 4-10 bar and in the second step 2-5 bar, and the pressure in the first step is higher than in the second step. The oxygen addition to the first step is high, 25-50 kg/ton pulp, that alkali is added only to the first step for obtaining high alkalinity in the pulp, 25-50 kg alkali per ton pulp. The stay-time in the first step is 10-30 min and in the second step 45-180 min.
Abstract:
A device for sealing a rotary shaft (17), which is supported in bearings (18, 19) in an air-tight casing (20), which extends into a container (10), in which overpressure is maintained. The device comprises a seal holder (22) attached in the casing (20) with a mechanical shaft seal (21). The casing has openings (23) to render possible access to the side of the shaft seal (21) located in the casing (20). A detachable air-tight cover (24) is provided to close said openings (23) at operation.
Abstract:
Bleaching of chemical pulp in several steps comprising final bleaching with chlorine dioxide and, respectively, hydrogenperoxide. The pulp is treated directly in connection to the chlorine dioxide step (3) without intermediate washing with chelating agent (2) for the elimination of metal ions, preferably manganese. The pulp is thereafter washed (4) and bleached with hydrogenperoxide (5).
Abstract:
A method of separating metal ions from pulp of lignocellulose-containing material. A main flow (1) of the pulp is treated with chelating agent (12) and washed (3) prior to the bleaching (5) of the pulp with hydroperoxide or ozone. Process water (4) washed out at the washing (3) and containing metal ions is mixed with pulp, which is not lateron to be bleached with hydroperoxide or ozone at pH above 7, whereby the metal ions substantially are bound to this pulp. Thereafter a liquid phase (9, 17) substantially free of metal ions is washed out of this pulp. Thereafter pH in this pulp is lowered to below 3 whereby the main part of the metal ions is released from the pulp and washed out.
Abstract:
A device for dewatering material suspensions, possibly in connection with liquid treatment. The device comprises two cylindric rotary liquid-permeable press rolls (10), the shell surface of which is covered with wire cloth (11). The press rolls are located in a vat (12) partially enclosing the rolls, which between themselves form a nip (15). Seals (16, 17) are provided in the vat (12), so that an airtight space (13) is formed between the rolls (10) and vat (12). The seals (16) along the shell surfaces of the rolls (10) consist of a flexible steel strip (21) attached on the upper edge of the vat (12) and extending inward to the shell surface of each roll (10). The steel strip (21) is bent in the rotation direction of the roll, so that its leading end abuts the roll.
