In this paper we investigated the effect of substituting aspen BCTMP for hardwood kraft pulp (varying from 10% to 30%) on product performance of light weight coated paper. The results show that the tensile index increases and other strength properties are essentially unchanged as the substitution level increases. With the increased BCTMP substitution level, the surface roughness of base sheets increases slightly, while coating coverage of base sheets is not affected significantly. The increased BCTMP substitution results in an increase in porosity of the base sheets, but does not change the average pore diameter. Increasing BCTMP substitution level leads to a slight decrease in gloss and an increase in surface roughness of the coated paper, however the latter can be compensated by a higher nip load calendering.展开更多

Unfortunately,hydrogen peroxide can be decomposed underalkaline condition, especially when transition metalions exit. Experiments show that the valence oftransition metal ion is also responsible for thedecomposition of hydrogen peroxide.Iron ions are present in two oxidation states, Fe2+ andFe3+. They are both catalytically active to hydrogenperoxide decomposition. Because Fe3+ is brown, itcan affect the brightness of pulp directly, it can alsocombine with phenol, forming complexes which notonly are stable structures and are difficult to beremoved from pulp, but also significantly affect thebrightness of pulp because of their color.Sodium silicate and magnesium sulfate, when usedtogether, can greatly decrease hydrogen peroxidedecomposition. The optimum dosage of sodiumsilicate is about 0.1% (on solution) for Fe2~ and0.25% (on solution) for Fe3~. Adding chelants such asDTPA or EDTA with stabilizers simultaneously canobviously improve pulp brightness. For iron ions, thechelate effect of DTPA is better than that of EDTA.Under acidic conditions, sodium hyposulfite andcellulose can reduce Fe3+ to Fez+ effectively, and pulpbrightness is improved greatly. Adding sodiumthiosulfate simultaneously with magnesium sulfate,sodium silicate, and DTPA to alkaline peroxidesolution can result in higher brightness of pulp.pH is a key parameter during hydrogen peroxidebleaching, the optimum pH value should be 10.5-12.展开更多

Among Mn (II), Mn (III)and Mn (IV), Mn (II) is not catalytically active indecomposing hydrogen peroxide. However, both Mn(113) and Mn (IV) are, and Mn (III) has a strongereffect than Mn(IV).In addition, we also studied the practical methods todecrease the Mn-induced decomposition of hydrogenperoxide. The results showed that sodium silicate andmagnesium sulfite in combination can effectivelydecrease the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide.The optimum dosage of sodium silicate was about0.5% (on solution). Adding chelants such as DTPAor EDTA simultaneously with stabilizers candecrease hydrogen peroxide decomposition. For Mn(IV), the EDTA is more effective than DTPA.Adding sodium thiosulfate simultaneously withmagnesium sulfate, sodium silicate and DTPA toalkaline peroxide solution can result in more residualhydrogen peroxide, and a higher pulp brightness.展开更多
