Performance Comparison of Several New Stabilizers for Hydrogen Peroxide Bleaching of Chemi-mechanical Pulp
In this study,the feasibility,advantages and disadvantages of three stabilizers(LS-8838,SB-005 and KML)replacing tradition-al sodium silicate for hydrogen peroxide bleaching of chemical pulp were discussed.The using conditions of bleaching stabilizers were opti-mized.The scaling phenomena between these three types bleaching stabilizers and Na2SiO3 in hydrogen peroxide bleaching process were compared.The results showed that when the dosage of NaOH was 3%,the dosage of H2O2 was 5%,and the bleaching time was 60 min,the optimal dosage of bleaching stabilizer(LS-8838,SB-005,KML)was 0.3%,pulp concentration was 25%,and bleaching temperature was 80 ℃.The bleaching effect with dosage of Na2SiO3 of 1.5%could be achieved by adding three bleaching stabilizers with dosage of 0.3%,and the brightness was 75.4%,76.4%and 74.4%,respectively.The amount of residual H2O2 was 62.5%,135.4%and 87.5%,and the tensile strength of the paper made from it was increased by 14.3%,18.6%and 0.6%,respectively.Among them,the slurry treated by SB-005 had the best brightness and strength,but its silicon content was higher and the scaling phenomenon was more serious.The bleaching ef-fect(amount of residual H2O2,whiteness,and intensity)of LS-8838 and phosphorus-containing silica-free KML was also better than that of Na2SiO3,among which LS-8838 had the best bleaching effect and no scaling phenomenon,and could be used as a substitute for sodium silicate.
