Paper pulp bleaching method based on electric field gradient coupling oxygen nucleus
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of pulping and papermaking processes, in particular to a pulp bleaching method based on electric field gradient coupling oxygen nuclei.
Background
In the field of pulping and papermaking, oxygen delignification is taken as a key process, and aims to remove lignin in paper pulp by using oxygen and improve the quality of the paper pulp. However, this process faces many challenges in practical applications.
The pulp fiber surface is typically negatively charged, a property that makes oxygen gas in combination with it a significant barrier. At a microscopic level, the repulsive force between the charges weakens the effective contact between the charges, so that oxygen is difficult to fully permeate into the fiber, and the mass transfer efficiency is greatly reduced. Taking the traditional process as an example, under the specific reaction condition, the mass transfer effect is poor, so that only partial lignin can be removed, a large amount of lignin remains, and the subsequent performance of the paper pulp is seriously affected.
In the existing oxygen delignification process, the oxygen utilization rate is generally low. On the one hand, the oxygen distribution in the reaction system is uneven, the partial area cannot fully participate in the reaction due to the too high oxygen concentration, so that waste is caused, and the partial area is difficult to thoroughly react due to insufficient oxygen. On the other hand, the unreasonable arrangement of the equipment structure and the technological parameters further aggravates the problem. For example, the design of the reaction vessel fails to fully consider the mixing effect of the gas and the paper pulp, so that the contact time and the contact area of the gas and the paper pulp are limited, resource waste is caused, and meanwhile, the production cost is increased.
The bleaching effect of current oxygen delignification processes is limited. The residual chromophores in the paper pulp cannot be effectively removed due to insufficient lignin removal, so that the whiteness of the paper pulp is difficult to improve. Even if the oxygen amount is increased or the reaction time is prolonged, the bottleneck of the bleaching effect is difficult to break, and the negative problems such as excessive degradation of fibers and the like can be caused, so that the physical properties such as pulp strength and the like are damaged. In addition, the existing technology has more severe requirements on reaction conditions, so that the stability of the production process is poor, and the high-efficiency and stable industrial production is difficult to realize.
Thus, there is a need to obtain a pulp bleaching process that can enhance the efficiency of oxygen delignification.
