tailieunhanh - NON-WOOD PLANTS AS RAW MATERIAL FOR PULP AND PAPER

High cooking temperature and thus high pressure is needed when alcohols are used as cooking chemicals. Methanol has been used as an additive in kraft, sulphite and soda pulping. However, the use of methanol may be hazardous, since methanol is a highly flammable and toxic chemical. Demonstration plants using the alkaline sulphite-anthraquinone-methanol process (ASAM) (Patt & Kordsachia 1986, Khristova et al. 2002, Patt et al. 1999) and the soda pulping method with methanol (Organocell) (Schroeter & Dahlmann 1991) have been built. The active cooking chemicals of the ASAM process are sodium hydroxide, sodium carbonate and sodium sulphite.
