Effect of alkaline extraction in reducing the Kappa number in ECF bleaching

Abstract

O estágio de hidrólise ácida (AHT), usado em sequências de branqueamento de polpa, tem como objetivo principal a degradação dos ácidos hexenurônicos, que estando presentes na polpa podem afetar sua alvura, reversão de alvura, entre outros. Apesar do benefício da utilização do estágio de hidrólise ácida, o pH desta etapa não é o mais adequado para a degradação da lignina, pois esta é mais reativa em meio alcalino. Portanto, o presente trabalho buscou estudar uma melhoria no processo de branqueamento pela adição de um estágio de extração alcalina após o estágio AHT, obtendo o melhor aproveitamento possível do estágio de dióxido cloro. Para este estudo foi utilizada polpa Kraft de eucalipto pré-deslignificada com oxigênio. Diferentes sequências de branqueamento ECF (Elemental Chlorine Free) foram realizadas na polpa, sendo elas: D0(E+P)D1, AHTD0(E+P)D1, AHT/ED0(E+P)D1 e AHTED0(E+P)D1. Os resultados encontrados com a inclusão do estágio de extração alcalina simples após a hidrólise ácida apontam um efeito positivo na sequência de branqueamento, havendo uma significativa redução do consumo de dióxido de cloro. A inclusão da extração alcalina simples também possibilitou a redução do número Kappa e aumento na alvura, com uma redução de 0,3 pontos na média do número Kappa e aumento de 1,3% ISO na alvura, analisados após a extração alcalina com peróxido de hidrogênio da sequência OAHT/ED0(E+P)D1, se comparada à sequência sem extração alcalina simples.

The acid hydrolysis stage (AHT) used in bleaching sequences of pulp, has as its main objective, the degradation of hexenuronic acids which are present in the pulp and can affect its brightness, reversal of brightness, among others. Despite the benefit of using the acid hydrolysis stage, the pH of this stage is not the most adequate, but when it comes to the degradation of lignin, it is more reactive in alkaline medium. Therefore, the present work sought to study an improvement in the bleaching process by the addition of an alkaline extraction stage after AHT stage, obtaining the best possible use of the chlorine dioxide stage. In this study, oxygen-delignified Kraft pulp from eucalyptus was used. Different ECF (Elemental Chlorine Free) bleaching sequences were performed in the pulp: D0(E+P)D1, AHTD0(E+P)D1, AHT/ED0(E+P)D1 and AHTED0(E+P)D1.As a result, the inclusion of a simple alkaline stage after the acid hydrolysis indicate a positive effect on the bleaching sequence, with a significant reduction in the consumption of chlorine dioxide. The inclusion of simple alkaline extraction also allowed the reduction of the kappa number and increased brightness, with a reduction of 0.3 points in the average Kappa number and a 1.3% ISO increase in brightness, analyzed after alkaline extraction with hydrogen peroxide of the sequence AHT/ED0(E+P)D1 when compared to the one without simple alkaline extraction.
