Abstract: | Cold caustic extraction has potential applications in the production of dissolving-grade pulps due to its ability to selectively remove hemicellulose from lignocellulosic materials.In this study,we demonstrate the conversion of paper-grade kraft pulp into dissolving pulp by a single-stage cold caustic extraction.Under the extraction conditions of 12 wt% NaOH lye,11% pulp consistency,a temperature of 35℃,and 2 h,a paper-grade softwood kraft pulp was purified to high-grade dissolving pulp with 97.1% α-cellulose content,1.2% pentosane content,and narrowed molecular weight distribution.The resulting extraction filtrate was concentrated by nano-filtration to obtain the hemicellulose content of 59.0 g/L,while the permeate was a clear NaOH solution with 10.9 wt% concentration.A process configuration was also proposed,integrating this cold caustic extraction process with existing pulp and paper production and multi-purpose utilization of the extraction filtrate. |
