Patent number: 6585880Abstract: In a process for producing kraft pulp, the process is made closed, the yield of pulp is improved and environmental problems are minimized. An alkaline solution containing Na2S which flows in a process of producing kraft pulp, is electrolyzed by an electrolytic oxidation method; a liquid which is formed at an anode side and contains a polysulfide type sulfur in an amount of 6 g/l or more, is added, as it is or after being causticized, to the process before a chip has the maximum temperature, and a NaOH solution formed at a cathode side, is added to at least one step of the process after the chip has the maximum temperature till a final bleaching stage; and at least chemicals in the step wherein NaOH is added, among chemicals discharged in all steps from a cooking step till the final bleaching stage, are recovered and reused.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2001Date of Patent: July 1, 2003Assignees: Nippon Paper Industries Co., Ltd., Kawasaki Kasei Chemicals Ltd.Inventors: Keigo Watanabe, Yasunori Nanri, Kazuaki Sakai, Tatsuya Andoh, Makoto Nakao

Publication number: 20030059362Abstract: Inexpensive spindle- or rice-like calcium carbonate giving useful properties for brightness, opacity and wire abrasion resistance as a paper filler is provided by taking advantage of the causticization step. When a white liquor is used for slaking a quick lime, the quick lime used in the slaking reaction of a first step has a calcium carbonate content of 10% by weight or less and is slaked with the white liquor at a concentration of 20 to 60% to prepare a milk of lime. When a green liquor is used for slaking a quick lime, the quick lime used in the slaking reaction of a first step has a calcium carbonate content of 0.1 to 10% by weight and is slaked with the green liquor at a concentration of 20 to 60% to prepare a milk of lime. In a second step, causticization reaction takes place at a green liquor loading rate of 0.02 to 0.5 cc (green liquor)/min/g (quick lime) at a reaction temperature of 20 to 105° C. to afford spindle- or rice-like calcium carbonate.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 1, 1999Publication date: March 27, 2003Inventors: KAZUTO TAKAHASHI, KIYOSHI KANAI, YASUNORI NANRI, YASUHIRO OKAMOTO

Patent number: 6517699Abstract: The present invention has an object to obtain a cooking liquor containing polysulfide-sulfur at a high concentration by minimizing by-production of thiosulfate ions. The present invention is a method for producing polysulfides, which comprises introducing a solution containing sulfide ions into an anode compartment of an electrolytic cell comprising the anode compartment provided with a porous anode, a cathode compartment provided with a cathode, and a diaphragm partitioning the anode compartment and the cathode compartment, for electrolytic oxidation to obtain polysulfide ions, characterized in that the porous anode is disposed so that a space is provided at least partly between the porous anode and the diaphragm, and the apparent volume of the porous anode is from 60% to 99% based on the volume of the anode compartment.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2001Date of Patent: February 11, 2003Assignees: Asahi Glass Company, Limited, Kawasaki Kasei Chemicals Ltd., Nippon Paper Industries Co., Ltd.Inventors: Tetsuji Shimohira, Tatsuya Andoh, Junji Tanaka, Keigo Watanabe, Yasunori Nanri

Publication number: 20020088576Abstract: A lignocellulose material is cooked by means of an alkaline cooking liquor containing polysulfides in the presence of a quinone-hydroquinone compound, of which the oxidation-reduction potential in the form present during the cooking, which potential is a value calculated as a standard oxidation-reduction potential (Ea) with a hydrogen ion activity of 1, is within a range of from 0.12 to 0.25V to the standard hydrogen electrode potential. It is thereby possible to cook the lignocellulose material with a low Kappa number and in good yield and at the same time, to reduce the amount of the chemical solution used and to reduce the load on a recovery boiler.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 17, 2001Publication date: July 11, 2002Applicant: Kawasaki Kasei Chemicals Ltd.Inventors: Tatsuya Andoh, Junji Tanaka, Keigo Watanabe, Yasunori Nanri, Makoto Nakao

Patent number: 6190633Abstract: Inexpensive spindle- or needle-like calcium carbonate giving useful properties for bulk, brightness, opacity, wire abrasion resistance and yield as a paper filler is provided by taking advantage of the causticization step. In a first step, a quick lime having a calcium carbonate content of 10% by weight or less is slaked with a liquor having a pH of 5.5 to 13.5 at a concentration of 20 to 60% to prepare a milk of lime. In a second step, causticization reaction takes place at a green liquor loading rate of 0.02 to 0.5 cc (green liquor)/min/g (quick lime) at a reaction temperature of 20 to 105° C. to afford spindle- or needle-like calcium carbonate.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 1999Date of Patent: February 20, 2001Assignee: Nippon Paper Industries Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kazuto Takahashi, Kiyoshi Kanai, Yasunori Nanri, Yasuhiro Okamoto
