Control of malodorous gases emission from wet-end white water with hydrogen peroxide, TAPPI Journal October 2021
ABSTRACT: White water is highly recycled in the papermaking process so that its quality is easily deteriorated, thus producing lots of malodorous gases that are extremely harmful to human health and the environment. In this paper, the effect of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) on the control of malodorous gases released from white water was investigated. The results showed that the released amount of total volatile organic compounds (TVOC) decreased gradually with the increase of H2O2 dosage. Specifically, the TVOC emission reached the minimum as the H2O2 dosage was 1.5 mmol/L, and meanwhile, the hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and ammonia (NH3) were almost completely removed. It was also found that pH had little effect on the release of TVOC as H2O2 was added, but it evidently affect-ed the release of H2S and NH3. When the pH value of the white water was changed to 4.0 or 9.0, the emission of TVOC decreased slightly, while both H2S and NH3 were completely removed in both cases. The ferrous ions (Fe2+) and the copper ions (Cu2+) were found to promote the generation of hydroxyl radicals (HOœ) out of H2O2, enhancing its inhibition on the release of malodorous gases from white water. The Fe2+/H2O2 system and Cu2+/H2O2 system exhibited similar efficiency in inhibiting the TVOC releasing, whereas the Cu2+/H2O2 system showed better perfor-mance in removing H2S and NH3.

Biofuels in lime kilns • Operating experience in the Nordic pulp and paper industry, TAPPI Journal October 2024
ABSTRACT: The lime reburning process is a central part of the chemical pulp mill. It is energy intensive and consumes large amounts of fossil fuel, globally consuming about 50 terawatt-hours (TWh) of fuel per year. Conversion to operation with biofuel is interesting, both to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and to reduce costs. Researchers interviewed managers in mills that use solid, liquid, or gasified biofuels to replace fuel oil or natural gas in their lime kilns, and they conducted surveys related to fuel consumption and operations and maintenance. In Sweden and Finland, there were ten mills in 2020 using biomass powder or gasified biomass as the primary fuel, and two more installations were under construction. There were also nine installations in operation or under construction outside the Nordic countries. Fourteen mills in Sweden and two mills in Finland used tall oil pitch as the main fuel. Fuel consumption in Swedish lime kilns was 3.8 TWh in 2020, and 90% of this energy was supplied with biofuels. Of about 4.2 TWh used in Finnish lime kilns, approximately 45% was supplied with biofuels. Developments in the design of the fuel supply system include belt dryers being used in all new installations and mass flow metered dosing systems being used in most new pulverized fuel installations. Bark gasifiers have increased considerably in size. Lignin powder firing has been established as a proven option. A solution for many Swedish and Finnish mills is the use of tall oil pitch as a replacement for fuel oil.
