Black liquor gasification is one of the promising alternatives to
eliminate the drawbacks of the conventional recovery unit of the
kraft process. A numerical model has been developed to simulate an
industrial pilot scale entrained-flow gasifier currently operating at
Tampere, Finland. The objective of the model is to investigate the...
The kraft and kraft-anthraquinone pulping processes were used
for pulping Douglas-fir chips at 170°C, 180°C and 190°C temperatures.
Anthraquinone was added to the pulping liquor at two levels, 0.1%
and 0.2% based on wood, to study its effect on pulp delignification
at the three temperatures. The fluorescent behaviors of kraft...
Laminar entrained flow reactor (LEFR) was used to determine the effect of
temperature and residence time on the distribution of carbon, sulfur and nitrogen between
gaseous and condensed phase products from low temperature pyrolysis of kraft black
liquor. The operating furnace temperatures were between 400°C-600°C where the effect
of condensable...
Nitrogen evolution during black liquor pyrolysis and black liquor combustion were studied using a laminar entrained-flow reactor. The experimental conditions were 700-1100°C and 0.3-2.2 seconds residence time. The pyrolysis experiments were performed in a pure nitrogen atmosphere. The oxygen concentrations during the combustion of black liquor experiments were 4 and...
Combustion properties of kraft black liquor solids were studied using a laminar entrained flow reactor. The tendency of black liquors to release fume (compounds containing Na⁺, K⁺, Cl⁻, SO₄²⁻, SO₃²⁻, S₂0₃²⁻ and C0₃²⁻) during combustion were observed at 1000°C. Black liquor solids with a size fraction of 63 to 100...
