Effects of varying total titratable alkali and causticizing efficiency targets on kraft pulp mill productivity, TAPPI Journal March 2024

ABSTRACT: The kraft mill causticizing area is often overlooked and undervalued when it comes to mill optimization; however, the operation of the causticizing plant has downstream effects on the entire liquor cycle. Setting the right targets for the causticizing plant can have a tremendous effect on mill operating costs, as well as push the production bottleneck from one unit operation to another. The key performance parameters associated with the causticizing plant itself are liquor total titratable alkali (TTA) and causticizing efficiency. Individual facilities choose their TTA and causticizing efficiency targets based on their goals, the limits of their equipment, and past experiences. This gives a variety of operating strategies in practice, but what are the implications for optimizing total titratable alkali and causticizing efficiency, and what level of optimization can be achieved through implementation of modern technology? This paper reviews the results of several different operational strategies and models the effects of these different approaches on kraft mill liquor cycle.

Factors affecting phosphorus uptake/dissolution during slaking and causticizing, TAPPI Journal March 2024

ABSTRACT: Hydroxide is regenerated in the recovery cycle of kraft pulp mills by the addition of lime (CaO) to green liquor. Phosphate in green liquor can react with the lime during slaking/causticizing. Total titratable alkali (TTA), sulfidity, the concentration of phosphate in the green liquor, temperature, and the liming ratio were all variables explored in this work to determine their influence on phosphorus uptake and dissolution. Experiments were also run in which the lime was slaked before being added to the green liquor to separate reactions with phosphate during slaking and reactions that occur during causticizing. Both reburnt lime and technical grade CaO were used. The experiment results indicate that phosphorus primarily reacts with slaked lime (Ca(OH)2), and that the final concentration of phosphate in the white liquor at the end of slaking and causticizing is nearly independent of the initial concentration of phosphorus and only mildly dependent on the carbonate concentration in the green liquor. There do appear to be differences in the rate at which phosphate reacts with reburnt lime and technical grade CaO, though the reason for this was not determined.

Utilization of Areca leaf residues for sustainable production of greyboard, TAPPI Journal May 2024

ABSTRACT: This study primarily focused on the production of greyboard using waste materials from small scale industries, and specifically using Areca leaf waste fibers as a sustainable and environmentally friendly resource. Areca leaf waste fibers were employed as the primary raw material for greyboard manufacturing. The resulting greyboard exhibited commendable properties, including a tear index of 7.53 mN·m2/g, tensile index of 18.34·N·m/g (i.e., breaking length of 1870 m), burst factor of 9.24 (gf/cm2)/(g/m2) and stiffness factor of 33.1. This greyboard was created through a series of steps, including hydrothermal treatment of the material at 155°C and mechanical pulping refinement. The produced greyboard met the specifications outlined in the Indian Standard 2617 (1967) for greyboard. The key objective of this work was to leverage agricultural waste resources to develop a chemical-free greyboard, resulting in reduced waste disposal in open fields and a decrease in chemical usage within the greyboard manufacturing industry. Various characterization techniques, including field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), attenuated total reflection•Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) analysis, and X-ray diffraction (XRD), were used to assess the fiber quality, including aspects such as functional groups, morphology, and crystallinity for the materials used in the manufacturing process.
