Definitions
- the present invention relates to a new refining process for paper pulp.
- Pulp for making paper, tissues, board or related products may be obtained from cellulose from wood and other sources (e.g., hemp, straw, cotton).
- the vast majority of the raw material is wood pulp, which can be either softwood or hardwood raw material.
- Softwood fibres come from needle-bearing conifer trees such as pine, spruce, alpine fir, Douglas fir.
- Hardwood fibres are derived from deciduous trees of various types, such as birch, eucalyptus, and acacia.
- SW softwood
- HW hardwood
- Hardwood and softwood must be subjected to specific mechanical treatments (refining) for converting the wood into a fibrous slurry employed in the formation of a paper web.
- the fibres of cellulose pulp suspensions are mechanically treated to change the fibres' properties.
- the cellulose pulp suspension is processed into a product having increased tensile/tear strength properties, increased freeness (Shopper-Riegler) values, increased fines, and improved paper/tissue making properties over that of the initial cellulose pulp suspension.
- Increased freeness values lead to decreased dewatering capabilities for paper/tissue making, which increases the energy required to dry the paper and it will slow down the speed of paper making.
- too low freeness yields paper/tissues that are not strong enough.
- Refining is of importance to the properties of both chemical and mechanical pulp. Apart from the dewatering, it should also be noted that the energy consumption during the refining process is high.
- WO 2005/028744 A chemical process to modulate the cellulosic fibres by treatment of fibres by iron salts and hydrogen peroxide has been disclosed in WO 2005/028744; treatment of Kraft softwood pulp leads to fibre properties reminiscent to hardwood fibres.
- WO 2004/022842 discloses a reduced energy process for refining mechanical pulp after treatment with a pectinase enzyme to produce pulp with certain freeness properties.
- EP 0458397 discloses the use manganese 1 ,4,7-Trimethyl-1 ,4,7- triazacyclononane (Me3-TACN) complexes as bleaching and oxidation catalysts and use for textile and pulp bleaching processes.
- WO 2007/125517 discloses the use of 1 ,2,-bis-(4,7,-dimethyl-1 ,4,7,- triazacyclonon-1-yl)-ethane (Me 4 -DTNE) and Me 3 -TACN with buffer and sequestrants for bleaching of cellulosic substrates.
- WO 2008/086937 discloses the use of 1 ,2,-bis-(4,7,-dimethyl-1 ,4,7,- triazacyclonon-1-yl)-ethane (Me 4 -DTNE) and Me 3 -TACN for bleaching of cellulosic substrates whilst keeping the pH constant.
- US 2002/0066542 A1 describes transition metal complex compounds of polydentate ligands, in particular of cobalt, and the use of such compounds in a delignifying and bleaching method.
- Reference experiments conducted with a manganese complex comprising Me 3 -TACN showed a market loss in viscosity, whilst the other compounds described did not show significant changes in viscosity.
- the present invention may be applied to chemical and mechanical pulp, including recycling pulp, for production of paper, tissue or board.

- each R in the ligand of formula (I) is independently selected from: hydrogen, C1-C6-alkyl, C20H, C1COOH, and pyridin-2-ylmethyl. It is particularly unexpected for these unbridged ligands, wherein no R is linked to the N of another Q from another ring via an ethylene bridge to be suitable for use according to the method of the present invention because of the demonstration in the prior art of the reduction in viscosity found when conducting delignification reactions using transition metal catalysts comprising such a ligand.

- the transition metal complex and hydrogen peroxide may be added prior to or during the refining stage, for example to pulp that this already been bleached in one or more delignification and bleaching stages, i.e. to chemical pulp.
- Chemical pulp thus treated may have been delignified/bleached by contact with hydrogen peroxide and a transition metal catalyst, for example as defined in accordance with the present invention.
- the chemical pulp may be otherwise produced, for example by non- catalytic bleaching of pulp, for example using ozone, chlorine dioxide or non- catalytic bleaching with hydrogen peroxide.
- the manganese catalyst together with hydrogen peroxide may be employed both in a bleaching stage, and again after the bleaching stage, prior to or during the refining stage.
- a bleaching stage for example involving use of hydrogen peroxide, is conducted.
- the manganese transition metal catalyst defined in accordance with the first and second aspect of the invention could be included as well.
- a reductive bleaching step with dithionite may be used to treat recycle pulp (to which bleaching step the manganese transition metal catalyst will not be added).

- range of transition metal catalyst required per tonne of pulp is in the range from 0.0001 to 1 kg per tonne of pulp (oven dry) which equates
- the transition metal catalyst is present at a concentration in the range from 0.0005 to 0.2 kg per tonne of pulp (oven dry).
- the hydrogen peroxide (100%) per tonne of pulp (oven dry) is in the range from 0.1 to 100 kg, more preferably 0.5 to 50 kg, most preferably 1 to 30 kg.
- the hydrogen peroxide (100%) per tonne of pulp (oven dry) may be in the range from 0.1 to 25 kg per tonne of pulp (oven dry). It is to be understood that the each of the ranges of concentration of transition metal catalyst disclosed herein may be combined with each of the ranges of hydrogen peroxide disclosed herein.
- the transition metal catalyst is present at a concentration in the range from 0.0005 to 0.2 kg per tonne of pulp (oven dry) and the hydrogen peroxide (100%) per tonne of pulp (oven dry) is in the range from 0.1 to 25 kg.
- the molar ratio of transition metal catalyst: hydrogen peroxide is preferably in the range from 1 : 100 to 1 : 10000.
- Pulp to produce paper or board grades is fed to a paper machine where it is formed as a paper web and the water is removed from it by pressing and drying. Pressing the sheet removes the water by force. Once the water is forced from the sheet, felt is used to collect the water. When making paper by hand, a blotter sheet is used. Pulp for the manufacturing of tissue or kitchen towel grades is dewatered and dried without pressing, to maintain the appropriate absorbancy and smoothness properties.
- Drying involves using air and or heat to remove water from the paper sheet. In the earliest days of papermaking this was done by hanging the paper sheets like laundry. In more modern times, various forms of heated drying mechanisms are used. On the paper machine, the most common is the steam-heated can dryer. These dryers can heat to temperatures above 200°F (93°C) and are used in long sequences of more than 40 cans. The heat produced by these can easily dry the paper to less than 6% moisture.
- treating a cellulose pulp suspension with a manganese transition metal catalyst and hydrogen peroxide changes the extent to which the pulp reacts to a mechanical refining process, as measured by its freeness value (Shopper-Riegler - SR), to produce a web made from the cellulose pulp suspension.
- Treatment by the manganese catalyst can be either done before the mechanical refining, during, or after the mechanical refining process.
- the catalyst/hydrogen peroxide may be added to a pulp blend or a pulp stock chest, after mechanical refining, where pulp may be stored prior to dewatering.
- the ratio between tensile strength and freeness is improved, i.e., either an increased strength at the same freeness value or same strength at a lower freeness value.
- oven dry pulp is one where pulp has been dried at 100-105 °C to yield a constant weight. Reference is made to TAPPI-test T240 om-93 (1993).
- Conical refiners are of the shallow angle refiners (Jordan), medium angle refiners (Conflo) and wide angle refiners (Claflin).
- the group disk refiners comprises three types, single disc, double disc multi-disc refiners.
- Refining can be done at low consistency (2-6%), medium consistency (10-20%) or high consistency (30-35%). Depending on the requirements of the end product, different choices for optimal consistency processing can be made. Reference is made to Paper and Board Grades, Papermaking Part 1. Stock Preparation and Wet End, Book 18, chapter 4, by the Finnish Paper Engineers' Association and TAPPI (2000).
- Processes can be either batch-wise or in a continuous manner, the latter being often preferred due to cost reasons and easier control of quality.
- different types of wood pulp are mixed, such as softwood and hardwood pulp.
- One of those or both may be refined independently. Often, more refiners are employed in series, to enhance the benefits/energy requirements, to treat the pulp.
- Refining may take place for chemical pulp, mechanical pulp and recycle pulp, all objects of the current invention.
- a low refining is carried out, to ensure a good bulk, softness, absorbancy and brightness.
- a low refining is beneficial for above properties, but negatively impacts the strength properties. Therefore, often wet- and/or dry-strength agents are added. Shopper-Riegler values of between 10 and 30 ° are often obtained, after refining.
- printability and machine runnability are key parameters.
- the paper must be clean and bright, have the appropriate
- a minimum opacity is another important feature.
- the extent of refining can be monitored on-line. Energy input is the most important parameter to determine the extent of refining. Control systems exist to on-line monitor the refining process and adjust energy input according the requirements. Probes to monitor the refiner load, temperature changes, flow/consistency, drainage/freeness (SR), etc. Main process variables include temperature, pH, consistency, additives, pretreatments, production rate, and applied energy.
- Application of the manganese catalyst and hydrogen peroxide to treat the cellulosic fibers can be done at different stages during the fiber treatment/paper making process. This can be either before the mechanical refining process, during the mechanical refining process or after the mechanical refining process, typically before or during the mechanical refining process.
- pulp that has been bleached in one or more delignification and bleaching stage can be used to treat further to produce tissue, paper or board.

- acidic chlorine dioxide is washed with NaOH solution, to remove alkaline-soluble lignin residues and make the pulp ready for the next stage.
- the manganese catalyst and hydrogen peroxide could be added into an (additional) mixer, making use of its fast reaction kinetics to treat the pulp with the catalyst.
- a pulp storage tower is designed to store pulp to process further after a period of time.
- Such storage tower can be found before the processes where the pulp bleaching stages are taken place or after the final bleaching stage, before e.g. transporting to the paper mill.
- Catalyst and hydrogen peroxide can be added together with the pulp entering this storage tower, allowing a slow treatment process of the pulp.

- pulp mixing chest two or more different types of pulp, optionally refined, are mixed and stored for further processing, such as softwood and hardwood pulp.
- levelling chests the consistency of wood pulp is lowered to desired levels.
- Mechanical pulp is often treated in latency chests to treat the fibers that are distorted (kinked, curled, or twisted).
- Pulp stock chests are, similarly to the pulp storage described above, used to store the wood pulp. Also the other above-mentioned chests are often used to store the wood pulp and ensure a constant flow of pulp to be treated in the subsequent processes.
- the wood pulp may be shipped from pulp bleaching mills or it may have been produced on site (integrated mill).
- the catalyst/hydrogen peroxide can be added just before the pulp refiner and be allowed to react with the cellulose during the refining process. Due to heat evolution during refining, the additional energy requirement to obtain an optimal treatment effect by the catalyst will be reduced or absent.
- Different refining equipment can be used, which includes beaters; Hollander beaters; shallow-angle conical refiners; medium-angle conical refiners; wide-angle conical refiners;
- the catalyst/hydrogen peroxide may be added after the mechanical refining stage, in for example in the pulp blend chest (where the different wood pulp sources are mixed) or pulp stock chest.
