Abstract:
A method and a system for preparing xylan and calcium carbonate, xylan, a cellulose fibre, and precipitated calcium carbonate. The method includes extracting xylan from cellulose fibres with sodium hydroxide to form a mixture containing cellulose fibres and an extract solution containing xylan; removing the cellulose fibres from the mixture to isolate the extract solution; adding carbon dioxide to the isolated extract solution to form a mixture containing a liquid brightener and precipitated xylan; separating the brightener from the mixture to isolate the precipitated xylan; adding calcium hydroxide to the separated brightener to form a mixture of precipitated calcium carbonate and liquid sodium hydroxide; and removing the sodium hydroxide from the mixture to isolate the calcium carbonate.
Abstract:
Un método para aislar el xilano del material vegetal, en donde se utilizan fibras de celulosa que contienen xilano, ventajosamente, fibras de celulosa de madera dura, y en donde dicho método comprende lo siguiente, en el orden detallado a continuación: - extraer (20) xilano de dichas fibras de celulosa por medio de hidróxido de sodio, para formar una solución del extracto (17) que contiene xilano, - retirar las fibras de celulosa de dicha mezcla que comprende fibras de celulosa y solución del extracto (17), para aislar dicha solución del extracto (17) de dicha mezcla, - añadir dióxido de carbono (14) a dicha solución del extracto (17) para hacer precipitar el xilano, por lo que se forman un abrillantador líquido (18) y xilano precipitado (12), - separar dicho abrillantador (18) de la mezcla, para aislar el xilano de dicha mezcla, - añadir hidróxido de calcio (16) a dicho abrillantador (18), para formar carbonato de calcio precipitado e hidróxido de sodio líquido (15), y - retirar el hidróxido de sodio de dicha mezcla que contiene hidróxido de sodio y carbonato de calcio precipitado, para aislar el carbonato de calcio de dicha mezcla.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for isolating xylan from plant material. In the method, cellulose fibres which contain xylan are used, advantageously cellulose fibres from hardwood; and xylan is extracted (20) from said cellulose fibres by means of sodium hydroxide for forming an extract solution (17) that contains xylan; cellulose fibres are removed from said mixture that contains cellulose fibres and extract solution (17), for isolating said extract solution from said mixture; carbon dioxide (14) is added to said extract solution (17) for isolating xylan, wherein liquid brightener (18) and precipitated xylan (12) are formed; calcium hydroxide (16) is added to said isolated brightener (18), for forming precipitated calcium carbonate and liquid sodium hydroxide (15); and sodium hydroxide is removed from said mixture that contains sodium hydroxide and precipitated calcium carbonate, for isolating calcium carbonate from said mixture. Furthermore, the invention relates to a system for isolating xylan from plant material, and to xylan, calcium carbonate, cellulose fibre and use of xylan.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for manufacturing paper pulp (10), in which method bleached, chemically pulped cellulose fibres (1) from hardwood are used as raw material. The method comprises extracting (5) xylan from said cellulose fibres (1) by means of sodium hydroxide; adding carbon dioxide into a mixture (2) containing said cellulose fibres (1), dissolved xylan and sodium hydroxide, for precipitating xylan; adding calcium hydroxide into said mixture containing precipitated xylan and cellulose fibres, for forming precipitated calcium carbonate (7); and removing sodium hydroxide from said mixture (4) containing sodium hydroxide, xylan, cellulose fibres (1), and calcium carbonate. Furthermore, the invention relates to paper pulp made by the method.
