  Logo EFPG     VIII - Ozonation of high kappa pulps
New possibilities (slides 9-17)

9 - Ozone delignification
  Ozone bleaching is more selective than kraft pulping
(+ 2% yield gain)
  High kappa pulp O3 delignification is more selective
than low kappa (+ 1.5% yield gain)
   
10 - Full bleaching
Treatment % ISO
brightness
*Yield DPv *ClO2
27 KN DEDED 90 44.5 1374 3.5
52 KN ZDEDED 91 46.8 1451 3.5
* % on pulp: DPv - Viscosimetric degree of polymerisation
 
     
 
11 - Effect of quinone groups
Lignin Quinone Total carbonyl
27 KN 0.045 0.26
52 KN 0.016 0.15
TMP 0.010 0.13
Quantitative 19F NMR analysis of residual lignin.
Results expressed as number of functional group per aromatic
ring with an accuracy of 5%.
   
12 - Strength properties
Tear index as a function of tensile index for three different
pulps : 52 OODEDnD, 27 DEDnD and 52 ZDEDnC.
Strength properties are comparable to conventional ECF
sequence on 27 kappa number pulp.
 
 
13 - Improved selectivity (1)
First hypothesis: ozone lignin reaction is 105 faster than ozone cellulose reaction
    N.A.
Ozone-lignin reaction produces muconic acid
derivatives which are soluble in alkali medium
Ozone-cellulose reaction proceeds by chain
cleavage, formation of carbonyl groups and
production of lactones.
 
     
 
14 - Ozone pulp reaction
Structural changes on kraft residual lignin hinder
additional fragmentation reactions causing the residual
lignin to be less reactive towards the pulping chemicals.
     High KN pulp residual lignin could be more
reactive towards bleaching chemicals
  The high quantity of this relatively reactive lignin
could favor the ozone-lignin reaction
   
15 - Improved selectivity (2)
Second hypothesis: cellulose degradation
Shorter cooking process leads to lower free phenolic groups
content.
Hydroxyl radical has been identified as the major cause of
cellulose degradation during ozonation.
Therefore reduced probability of hydroxyl radical formation.
 
     
 
16 - Residual lignin analysis
All through Kraft process modifications of lignin structure
occur progressively, leading to the formation of free
phenolic groups and dimethoxylation.
Lignin Phenolic OH Carboxyl OCH3
27 KN 0.61 0.19 0.73
52 KN 0.55 0.13 0.79
TMP 0.30 0.005 0.89
Analysis by 13C NMR
   
17 - Conclusion
High kappa number pulp HC ozonation
at ambient temperature leads to:
1 -  2.3% bleached pulp yield increase
2 - competitive strength properties
3 - higher brightness
4 - higher lignin content, which is the major
cause for increased selectivity
