2 ABSTRACT History-> The word paper derives from the Greek term for the ancient Egyptian writing material called papyrus, which was formed from beaten strips of papyrus plants. The soda process for making pulp from wood was developed by Watt & Burgess in NSSC pulping yields highest fibers up to 65%-80% which results in reduced stream pollution problems. But quality and bleachability is low. Types-> Chemical pulp is of three types 1) Kraft or Sulfate Pulp (Alkaline) 2) Sulfite Pulp (Acid) 3) Neutral Sulfite Semi-Chemical (NSSC) Pulp Density->The density of paper ranges from 250 kgm-3 (16 lbft-3) for tissue paper to 1500 kgm-3 (94 lbft-3) for some specialty paper. Printing paper is about 800 kgm-3 (50 lbft-3). In BILT, Unit: Kraft Process is employed for pulping. Veneer, Veneer chips, Bamboo, Poplar wood and Poplar rulla, Eucalyptus wood & rulla etc. are the raw materials used in that unit due to their easily availability in nearby areas soda recovery

3 SODA RECOVERY INTRODUCTION :
Recovery of chemicals has always been considered as the backbone of pulp and paper industry in the phase of increase of pulping chemicals. Strict laws of pollution control and power crisis arising from mushrooming of industries the recovery of pulping chemicals has become more important.

4 THE KRAFT PROCESS INTRODUCTION:
Kraft process is one of the main chemical pulping . Kraft or sulfate pulping is an alkaline process . It is cooked with a strong (12%) solution of NaOH and Na2CO The material added to the cooking liquor for the Kraft process is Na2SO4, hence the common name of sulfate process. The cooking however is done with a solution containing Na2S, NaOH and Na2CO3 formed from the sulfate during preparation and recovery of the cooking liquor. All sorts of wood can be cooked by the Kraft process and the fibers produced are bleachable and strong. It is very important that the chemicals used can be recovered and recycled, reducing or even eliminating stream pollution. soda recovery

7 Pulping Procedures in Kraft Process
Cellulosic raw material : Almost any kind of wood,soft/hard Principal reaction in the digester : Hydrolysis of lignin to alcohols and acids Composition of cooking liquor : % solution of NaOH, Na2S; 58.6% NaOH, 27.1% Na2S, 14.3% Na2CO3. Cooking conditions : Time 2-5 hours; Temperature 170 to 176˚C; Pressure kPa. Chemical Recovery : through burning of organic matter dissolved in the liquor from the wood. Material of construction : can be made of mild steel or stainless. Pulp characteristics : Brown color, difficult to bleach, strong fibers, resistant to mechanical refining. Paper products : Strong brown bag, gumming paper, building paper, strong white paper, paperboards and liquid containers. soda recovery

8 RECOVERY OF THE BLACK LIQUOR
The B/L removed from the pulp washer contains 95 to 98% of the total chemicals charged to the digester. Organic sulfur compounds are presented in combination with sodium sulfide. Na2CO3 is present as are also small amounts of Na2SO4, salt, silica and traces of lime, Fe2O3, alumina and potash. Total solids usually average about 20%. Then black liquor is concentrated, burned and limed. In the smelting furnace any remaining organic compounds are broken down, the carbon burned away and the inorganic chemicals melted. At the same time the following reaction takes place: Na2SO4 + 2C Na2S + 2CO2 The carbon comes from the organics in the wood. soda recovery

10 Soda Recovery sub-sections:
Evaporator Section Boiler Section Causticizing Plant Lime Kiln Producer Gas Plant soda recovery

11 Evaporator Section : In this section black liquor is concentrated to a required concentration and sent to the recovery boilers for heat recovery & formation of green liquor. The black liquor is concentrated with the help of evaporators. In this section there are mainly two types of evaporators, one is free flow falling film evaporator (FFFF) and other is short tube vertical effect evaporators (STVE). soda recovery

12 FORCED-CIRCULATION EVAPORATORS:

13 SHORT-TUBE VERTICAL EVAPORATORS:
Principal use :evaporation of cane-sugar juice. Heating surface is induced by boiling in the tubes, which are usually 50.8 to 76.2 mm (2 to 3 in) in diameter by 1.2 to 1.8 m (4 to 6 ft) long. Body: vertical cylinder, usually of cast iron, and tubes are expanded into horizontal tube sheets Circulation rate through the tubes is many times the feed rate; so there must be a return passage from above the top tube sheet to below the bottom tube sheet. Most commonly used :central well or down-take soda recovery

14 ROLE OF RECOVERY BOILERS
Soda Recovery   ROLE OF RECOVERY BOILERS Feed - concentrated B/L coming from the evaporators. At both of these boilers B/L is fired to recover the heat content of the spent cooking liquor in form of production of high pressure steam. The lignin in the liquor is burnt away and what remain are the chemicals (in the form of smelt). This smelt is then dissolved in weak white liquor coming from Causticizing Plant, which gives a characteristic green color (hence called green liquor; G/L). This G/L contains some solid impurities which are separated out by means of a clarifier. The main aim of these boilers is to recover all unused chemicals from the B/L stream in form of G/L. Chemical composition of G/L is as follows: Na2CO3 (70%); NaOH (15%); Na2S(15%) soda recovery

18 CAUSTICIZING PLANT: Purpose-> To convert available Na2CO3 in useful NaOH by reacting it with Ca(OH)2 thus converting the supplied G/L into W/L in a number of steps. consists of-> causticizers, clarifiers, mud washers, filters, dreg washers and grit classifiers etc. Process-> G/L at ˚C from the smelt dissolving tank is pumped to raw G/L storage tank. G/L is screened over the storage tank to separate solids. Screened G/L is allowed to fall in a clarifier to separate out dregs. The temperature is always kept at ˚C so that slaking and causticizing reaction may take place in the causticizer tanks at desired rate. Clarified green liquor from the storage is supplied to splitting box. Lime is introduced in the slaker where G/L meets it from the splitter box in the slaker by two lines one in head and another in tale. Lime is transferred from lime bin. In the slaker causticizing reaction is completed around 80-90%. The slaking reaction is as follows:- CaO H2O Ca (OH) Heat (486 Btu/lb) The resultant Ca(OH)2 reacts with sodium carbonate to form NaOH this reaction is called causticizing reaction: Ca (OH) Na2CO NaOH CaCO3 Na2CO3(15%); NaOH(70%); Na2S(15%)  soda recovery

22 PRODUCER GAS PLANT: C + Air CO2 + N2 (ΔH1000˚C= -395.4 MJ/ Kmol)
Producer Gas (PG) is made by passing air stream through a bed of hot coal or coke. Temperature of the fuel bed depends on the fusion point of the fuel ash is to use up as much as possible, the exothermic energy from the reaction between C and O2 to supply the endothermic reaction between the C and steam: C + Air CO2 + N (ΔH1000˚C= MJ/ Kmol) CO2 + C CO (ΔH1000˚C= MJ/ Kmol) C + H2O CO + H (ΔH1000˚C= MJ/ Kmol) CO + H2O CO2+ H (ΔH1000˚C= MJ/ Kmol) PG thus produced is used in lime kiln as fuel. Steam pressure helps in maintaining axial flame length while oil atomization controls radial flame spread. soda recovery
