Definitions
- Patented Oct. 22, 1935 UNITED STATES unrnon or raonucmc PAPER PULP mom muons m'rnam Edwin P. Jones, Garden City, andJames M. Dempsey, New York, N. Y., assignors to Champagne Paper Corporation, New York, N. Y., a corporation of New York No Drawing. Application April 10, 1935,
- Our present invention relates to the manufacture of paper, and the like from. cellulose containing materials, and more particularly to an improved method of preparing pulp to be used in such manufacture.
- our present invention relates to'an improved method of producing a satisfactory pulp for paper making from crude decorticated bast fiber, such as flax or hemp, which either has or has not been first subjected to the usual and ordinary retting process.
- An object of our invention is an improved method 01' producing a better quality of paper pulp from decorticated flax or hemp than has been heretofore possible.
- Another object of our invention is an improved method of treating fibrous material, derived from fiax or hemp stalks, to produce a pulp having strength, color, and other characteristics superior tothat produced by previously known' methods.
- the first step in our improved process consistsin passing the mixture of mechanically decorticatedfiax through a continuously operated equipment (such as heaters, rod mills, etc.) which imparts a crushing, rather than a cutting action to the raw material.
- a continuously operated equipment such as heaters, rod mills, etc.
- the fibrous material After the fibrous 'material has beentreated as move the dissolved matter.
- the fibrous material is then placed in a rotary digester, where it is cooked at an appropriate temperature and pressure for a, predetermined length of time.
- the time, temperature, and pressure will vary according to the character of the material being worked upon, but we have obtained satisfactory results by cooking the material under a pressure of approximately 50 pounds per square inch'i'or a period of approximately two hours.
- concentration and combination of chemicals employed in this digesting step are of more importance than either the temperature, pressure or length of time of cooking.
- the next, and equally important, part of our improved process or method comprises bleachin the shives without at the same time sacrificing the strength of the bast fiber itself. It-is practically impossible to bleach the cooked conglomerate (that is, bast fiber and shives), using an alkaline hypochlorite in a single stage bleach, so as to produce a satisfactory pulp. Therefore, we have utilized as this part of the invention what may be termed a two-stage bleach.
- the digested conglomerate is treated with a predetermined quantity of either saturated chlorine water or hypochlorous acid or gaseous chlorine. It is ordinarily necessary to use approximately 23 grams of chlorine for each 100 grams of conglomerate. The amount actually used must of necessity depend upon both the quantity of shives present in the conglomerate, as well as the thoroughness of the previously described digestion. The shives absorb or react with either the chlorine water, gaseous chlorine or hypochlqrous acid, immediately upon exposure to the chemicals mentioned.
- the bast fiber is lightened in color irmnediately and the shivesturn a deep brownishred color, indicating that the chlorine reacts very quickly upon both the bast fiber andjthe shives.
- the mixture is now washed, either with water or with a mild solution of any of the common alkalies, such as. sodium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, or the like.
- the material is now ready for the second stage of the two-stage bleaching process, which consists in treatment with an alkaline hypochlorite.
- the mixture of reddish brown shives and comparatively white bast fiber is placed in'a solution of either sodium or calcium *hypochlorite.
- the former appears to work better than'the common bleaching solution of calcium hypochlorite and is to ,be preferred thereto, although good results may be obtained with the latter.
- the mixture is allowed to remain in the bleaching solution at room temperature for approximately seven hours, when it will be found that the heretofore small reddish-#brown shives have become practically white, and can hardly be found in the mass of bast fibers which have now reached a satisfactory color.
- the pulp is thoroughly washed to remove all of the bleaching liquor. and the pulp is then ready to be used in subsequent steps in the making of a high quality 989
- the various steps of our process may be varied to suit different conditions, depending largely on the nature of the material being worked upon.
- the process may be practiced with the use of apparatus which will permit of the continuous 5 treatment of the fibers from the decorticatin step to the passing ofthe completely prepared pulp to the paper making machine.
- the improved method of producing vpaper pulp from flax which consists in submitting mechanically decorticated flax to the action of water, washing the same, cooking the fibers in a digester in the presence of an alkaline chemical in combination with a-soluble sulphite andthen bleaching the fibers.
- the improved method of producing paper pulp from decorticated fiax which consists in steeping the same in water to dissolve soluble matter contained therein, washing the same to remove the dissolved matter, cooking in a digester in the presence of an alkaline chemical in combination with a; soluble sulphite, and then bleaching the same.
- the improved method of producing paper pulp from a conglomerate of bast fiber and shives which consistsin steeping the conglomerate in water, to dissolve the soluble matter contained therein, washing the conglomerate to remove the dissolved matter, cooking the conglomerate in a digester in the presence of an alkaline chemical in combination with a soluble sulphite, washing the conglomerate, and then subjecting the conglomerate to a two-stage bleaching operation.
- the improved method of producing paper pulp from a conglomerate of best fiber, shives, and soluble impurities which consists 'in steeping the conglomerate, milling the conglomerate, cooking the conglomerate in a digester with a reagent composed of approximately 95% of sodiumhydroxide and approximately 5% of sodium sulphite under a pressure of'from 30-75-pounds per square inch: treating -the conglomerate with chlorine in the presence of water, and treatin being thoroughly washed between each step 01' the method.
- the improved method of producing paper pulp from a conglomerate of best fiber and shives which consists in steeping the conglomerate, to dissolve soluble matter contained therein, washing the conglomerate to remove the dissolved matter, cooking the conglomerate in a digester in the presence of an alkaline chemical in combination with a soluble sulphite, washing the conglomerate, milling the conglomerate to crush and soften the shives, treating the conglomerate with chlorine in the presence oi water, washing the conglomerate, and then treating the conglomerate with an alkaline hypochlorite.
