Abstract
Knots separated from sulphite cellulose produced by a sulphite cellulose cooking process are converted to unbleached sulphite cellulose by first separating and defibrating the sulphite knots and then treating the defibrated sulphite knots with oxygen under pressure in an alkaline milieu at an elevated temperature. The resultant cellulose may be bleached by itself, or mixed with sulphite cellulose produced from knot-free cellulose pulp for bleaching therewith.
Claims5
A method for the production of sulphite cellulose from knots produced in a sulphite cellulose cooking process, comprising:
- separating said knots from said sulphite cellulose after said cooking process;
- defibrating said knots separated from said sulphite cellulose;
- and
- subjecting the separated defibrated sulphite knots, while still separated, to a single-step treatment with oxygen under pressure in an alkaline milieu at an elevated temperature, to thereby produce unbleached sulphite cellulose from said separated defibrated knots.
