Abstract: A process for producing fibrous material which includes the following: preparing a solution of chemicals that includes less than 25% of sulphite (calculated as Na2SO3), based on the oven-dry amount of the lignocellulosic raw material; mixing the solution of chemicals with wood in a specified liquor material; heating the solution of chemicals and the wood to a temperature above room temperature; and then either of the following alternatives: (1) removing the free-flowing solution of chemicals and digestion of the wood in the vapor phase; (2) having the wood digested in the liquid phase and separating the free-flowing solution of chemicals and the wood.

Abstract: The invention relates to a wood-based lignocellulosic fibrous material having a tearing length of more than 8 km at 15° SR and a lignin content of at least 15%, based on the unbleached oven-dry fibrous material, for coniferous wood and having a tearing length of more than 5.0 km at 20° SR and a lignin content of at least 12%, based on the unbleached oven-dry fibrous material, for deciduous wood.

Abstract: A method for producing fibrous material from softwood, hardwood, or annual plants, including preparing a solution of chemicals having one of: more than 5% of chemicals for softwood, more than 3.5% of chemicals for hardwood, or more than 2.5% of chemicals for annual plants. The method includes: mixing the solution of chemicals with the lignocellulosic material in a predetermined liquor ratio; heating the solution of chemicals and the lignocellulosic material to a temperature above room temperature; and, after the heating, performing one of: removing a free-flowing portion of the solution of chemicals and digesting the lignocellulosic material in a vapor phase, or digesting the lignocellulosic material in a liquid phase and separating the free-flowing portion of the solution of chemicals and the lignocellulosic material. The produced fibrous material has a lignin content of at least 15% for softwood, at least 12% for hardwood, and at least 10% for annual plants.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for producing a tissue web, which is produced from a stock suspension including fibers. In this case, the volume and the tearing length are to be improved with the lowest possible freeness by the stock suspension containing lignocellolosic fibrous material made of wood or annual plants which has a tearing length of more than 6.5 km at 12°SR or a tearing length of more than 8.0 km at 15°SR and a lignin content of at least 15%, based on the oven-dry fibrous material, for coniferous wood in the unbleached state, or a tearing length of more than 4.5 km at 20°SR and a lignin content of at least 12%, based on the oven-dry fibrous material, for deciduous wood in the unbleached state, or a tearing length of more than 3.5 km at 20°SR and a lignin content of at least 10%, based on the oven-dry fibrous material, for annual plants in the unbleached state.

Abstract: Process for increasing the water retaining ability of fibrous paper stocks. The process includes knead dispersing a fibrous paper stock having a stock concentration of at least about 20% and a temperature greater than about 45° C. A treatment for the knead dispersing is at least about 10 seconds. The process further includes completing a post-treatment phase to a machine tub of a paper machine in a reaction time of no longer than about 30 minutes.
