Characterizing rheological behavior and fluidization of highly refined furnishes, TAPPI Journal April 2024

ABSTRACT: In this work, highly refined softwood bleached kraft pulp (SWBKP) furnishes, referred to here as XFC, were studied from the perspective of fiber suspension handling in processing. The rheology of the furnishes was studied with a rotational rheometer using a non-standard flow geometry to understand the viscosity development at different consistencies and the impact of temperature. For fluidization analysis during pipe flow, two optical methods were implemented; namely, optical coherence tomography (OCT) and high-speed video (HSV) imaging. The OCT was used to determine the small-scale floc structures near the pipe wall where the shear stress is highest, and the HSV imaging was applied for observing flow instabilities and XFC suspension uniformity at the pipe scale. All these issues can be significant in deciding the minimum flow rate required for a process pipe to get sufficient fluidization of XFC suspensions.

Quantification of hardwood black liquor contamination in pine black liquor, TAPPI Journal February 2024

ABSTRACT: The presence of hardwood black liquor contamination in pine black liquor can negatively impact brownstock washer and evaporator operation, as well as reduce soap separation and yield. It is also believed to negatively impact commercial kraft lignin production. It was desired to develop a method of quantitatively determining the amount of low-level hardwood liquor contamination in pine black liquor. A method employing pyrolysis-gas chromatography mass spectrometry (py-GCMS) was developed to perform the desired measurement. Laboratory cooks with carefully controlled blends of pine and hardwood chips were prepared, and the resulting liquor was measured using this technique. Additionally, samples of pine and hardwood black liquors were blended in known quantities and analyzed. All these samples were submitted as blind samples. The resulting analysis suggests the py-GCMS method was able to accurately determine the level of hardwood contamination between 1% to 10% hardwood liquor using a low-level calibration curve prepared with coniferyl alcohol and sinapyl alcohol as standards.
