Abstract
Polynuclear compounds dissolved and contained within an organic solvent are separated from the organic solvent by rendering the organic compounds insoluble within the organic solvent. Accordingly this invention removes polynuclear compounds from a saturated organic solvent. The polynuclear compounds are derived from black liquor obtained from kraft digestion. Whereby polynuclear compounds, substantially free of an organic solvent, are obtained from the organic solvent.
Description
- Kraft pulping digestion process employs liquor containing sodium hydroxide and sodium sulfide to digest wood chips to produce pulp and remove lignins from wood to create black liquor containing depolymerized, dispersed and dissolved lignins from the wood. Black liquor additionally containing sodium hydroxide and sodium sulfide. Sodium sulfide forms malodorous mercaptons, causing undesired emissions in air. In order to reduce sodium sulfide concentration in “white liquor,” polynuclear compounds can be added to the process to considerably replace sodium sulfide for its intended function, to catalyze removal of lignins from wood. This procedure is described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,012,280. Polynuclear compounds are consumed by combustion and not recycled.
- Accordingly, it is believed that, a method for recovery of polynuclear compounds is without development.
- Therefore, an object of this invention is to obviate many of the limitations and disadvantages of the prior art to digest wood chips and form a black liquor containing polynuclear compounds.
- This invention relates to a method of recycling the organic solvent used to dissolve polynuclear compounds.
- A significant object of this invention is to produce polynuclear compounds from a black liquor.
- Another object of this invention is to utilize an organic solvent to dissolve polynuclear compounds from black liquor.
- An additional object of this invention is to remove polynuclear compounds from the organic solvent.
- Yet another object of this invention is to recycle polynuclear compounds and recycle the organic solvent.
- With the above and other objects in view, this invention relates to the novel features and alternatives and combinations presently described in the brief description of the invention.
- Wood chips in the presence of white liquor, containing sodium hydroxide at an elevated temperature, will digest wood chips to result in cellulose pulp and form black liquor. White liquor containing sodium sulfide, polynuclear compounds and (or) polysulfide, provide catalysts to delignify wood chips, within a kraft process, and form black liquor. Polynuclear compounds employed as a catalyst, will provide more effectiveness for delignification of wood chips faster than sodium sulfide alone. Addition of antraqinone or equivalent to a kraft process is described on the internet http://www.paperloop.com “Paper Help Online,” pages 1-2, Antraqinone, or equivalent.
- are polynuclear compounds, selected from the group of anthraquinone, 2-methyl-anthraquinone including an individual or a combination thereof Polynuclear compounds from a black liquor are dissolved in an organic solvent to become a solution of polynuclear compounds dissolved in an organic solvent. Polynuclear compounds are separated from the solution to create a saturated organic solvent solution for recycle. This separation method is often performed by cooling the solution to form two phases followed by a centrifuge to separate a phase of polynuclear compounds from a phase of the cooled solution. Both separated phases are recycled to carry out their specific functions. Solubility of anthraquinone is given for several organic solvents at different temperatures indicating that anthraquinone is of limited solubility.
