Use Of Thinnings And Other Low Specific Gravity Wood For Lyocell Pulps

View page
US Patent:
6686039, Feb 3, 2004
Filed:
Jan 2, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/336389
Inventors:
Kent Robarge - Sumner WA
Mengkui Luo - Tacoma WA
Assignee:
Weyerhaeuser Company - Federal Way WA
International Classification:
D02G 300
US Classification:
428393, 428357, 428359, 162150, 1621571, 1621576
Abstract:
The use of low specific gravity wood from thinning operations, for example, will produce a lower brownstock viscosity for a given kappa number target. A differential of 200-cP falling ball pulp viscosity has been detected from Kraft cooks of low and high specific gravity wood. Using low specific gravity wood can reduce the bleach stage temperature and the chemical dose needed in the bleach plant to produce lyocell pulp specifications. Low specific gravity wood also increases the ability to reduce pulp viscosity to very low levels without increasing the copper number of the pulp or the concentration of carbonyl in the pulp above acceptable levels.

US Patent:
20070000628, Jan 4, 2007
Filed:
Jun 30, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/171013
Inventors:
James Sealey - Perry GA, US
Kaaren Haynes - Perry GA, US
Doug Lloyd - Ellaville GA, US
Roger Campbell - Auburn WA, US
Kent Robarge - Sumner WA, US
International Classification:
D21C 11/00
D21C 11/04
D21C 11/10
US Classification:
162060000, 162055000, 162030110, 210928000, 210902000
Abstract:
A method is disclosed for removal of non process elements from a Kraft bleach plant producing lyocell pulp. In the method the bleach plant filtrate is passed through at least one centrifugal cleaner. The non process elements are reduced by at least 20 percent of their original levels in the bleach plant filtrate.
