Description
CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

This patent application claims the benefit and priority of Chinese Patent Application No. 202011639137.3 filed on Dec. 31, 2020, the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety as part of the present application.


TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure belongs to the technical field of papermaking technology and waste comprehensive utilization, and specifically relates to a method for preparing an unbleached biomechanical pulp from straws and full utilization of by-products.


BACKGROUND ART

Disclosure of the background art is only intended to increase the understanding of the overall background of the present disclosure, and is not necessarily regarded as an admission or suggestion in any form that the information has become the prior art known to those of ordinary skill in the art.


The papermaking industry is not only a consumer goods industry, but also an important basic raw material industry, involving many fields such as life, culture and education, industry and agriculture, national defense and aviation. In 2016, pulp imports reached 21.06 million tons, and waste paper imports reached 28.5 million tons in China. The degree of dependence on the import of papermaking fiber raw materials was close to 50%. The large waste paper imports made up the deficiency in fiber raw materials in China and supported the development of the papermaking industry. In April 2017, the Central Government of China issued “The latest progress of prohibiting import of the foreign waste, Progress on the implementation of the reform of the import management system for solid waste”, which clearly stipulates that from the end of this year, China will ban the import of unsorted waste paper. In 2018, the total waste paper imports were 33% of 2017. By 2020, the import of waste paper will be prohibited in China. China is facing a shortage of about 26 million tons of papermaking raw materials every year. The shortage of resources in the traditional papermaking industry will be further highlighted. Development of new papermaking raw materials is imminent. To this end, the researchers make explorations on recyclable and renewable grass raw materials to find new papermaking raw materials.


In the traditional chemical pulping process, most of the hemicellulose in wheat straws is degraded and dissolved in the pulping black liquor. The black liquor is usually treated by an alkali recovery method to recover heat energy and alkali. Because the combustion calorific value of hemicellulose in black liquor is low, treatment by burning it directly will not only cause the waste of energy, but also the consumption of very good biomass resources. The development of a low-pollution, low-energy-consumption, and high-quality pulping method suitable for straw pulp is a focus of research in the papermaking industry in China, and also a bottleneck that needs to be broken in the development of the industry. Therefore, the applicant proposed a method for preparing an unbleached biomechanical pulp from straws. Straw as raw material for pulping was treated with steam or hot water, then a small amount of alkali was added, the straw was softened by hydrothermal saturation, then the temperature of the straw was adjusted, alkaline compound enzymes were added for biological treatment, and finally the straw was refined, where the prepared mechanical pulp can meet the requirements of producing unbleached packaging paper and paper-based materials (see CN109577059A). However, the problem of by-products produced in the pulping has not been well resolved, which is not conducive to the comprehensive high-value utilization of agricultural straw.


SUMMARY

In view of the above problems, the present disclosure provides a method for preparing an unbleached biomechanical pulp from straws and full utilization of by-products. In the present disclosure, straw as raw material for pulping is treated with steam, then a small amount of KOH is added, the straw is softened by hydrothermal saturation, then the temperature of the straw is adjusted, alkaline compound enzymes are added for biological treatment, and finally the straw is refined, where the prepared mechanical pulp can meet the requirements of producing unbleached packaging paper and paper-based materials. At the same time, the by-products are recycled to prepare biomass compound fertilizer, which turns solid waste into treasure and realizes the high-value full utilization of wheat straw. Therefore, it has good practical application value and broad application prospects.


The following technical schemes are adopted in the present disclosure:


According to a first aspect of the present disclosure, a method for preparing an unbleached biomechanical pulp from straws and full utilization of by-products is provided, which comprises the following steps:


(1) Cutting a physically selected dedusted air-dried straw into a ready-for-use raw material with a length of 3-6 cm; and collecting the straw that cannot be used as the ready-for-use raw material (such as rotten straw);


(2) Placing the ready-for-use raw material into a normal temperature processor or reactor, treating with alkaline compound enzymes according to a solid/liquid ratio of 1:4-1:8 W/V, during the treatment, adding a small amount of KOH to adjust the pH value of the straw to 7-14, and controlling the treatment time within 30-90 min; and collecting the wastewater generated during the enzyme-alkali co-treatment;


(3) Taking out the straw treated in step (2), and further treating with hot alkali (KOH) water steam at a temperature of 80-120° C.;


(4) Refining the straw treated in step (3) in one or more stages to make the beating degree at 25-55° SR;


(5) Washing with water after refining to obtain a biomechanical pulp; defibrating the biomechanical pulp by a defibrater and mixing evenly to obtain the unbleached biomechanical pulp; and collecting the washing water;


Evaporating and concentrating the wastewater produced in the enzyme-alkali co-treatment and washing water to obtain a residue, and recovering the heat energy for the hot alkali water steam treatment of step (3); mixing the residue with the straw that cannot be used as the ready-for-use raw material (such as rotten straw) in step (1), and adjusting the pH to make a fertilizer.


According to a second aspect of the present disclosure, a mechanical pulp and/or fertilizer prepared by the method described in above technical schemes are provided.


According to a third aspect of the present disclosure, an application of the above mechanical pulp in the preparation of unbleached packaging paper and paper-based materials and/or an application of the above fertilizer in promoting the growth of crops.


The present disclosure has the following beneficial effects:


In the present disclosure, straw is used as a raw material, treated with alkaline biological enzymes, heated with hot alkali steam, then refined, and washed. In the present disclosure, when the refining is completed, the pH value of the biomechanical pulp is close to neutral, and after washing the pulp, the washing water is treated with a multi-purpose evaporator, the solid residue is recovered for incineration in a boiler, and the heat energy is recovered for use in the treatment section with hot steam. The whole production process does not need alkali recovery, thereby avoiding environmental pollution from the source. This technology conforms to the national industrial policy of resource conservation, economic recycling, energy saving and emission reduction, and overcomes the problems of difficulty in recovering the alkali wastewater accompanying straw pulp and serious pollution in the prior art, which has great significance for the industrial production of straw pulp and the development of the papermaking industry.


The method of the present disclosure is simple and has low requirements on the equipment, and is suitable for the production of large and medium-sized pulp and paper production lines.


The ring crush index of the mechanical pulp prepared by the method of the present disclosure is significantly improved, and when used for preparing corrugated paper or boxboard paper, the compressive strength of the carton can be significantly improved. The by-products are used to prepare biomass compound fertilizer, which is rich in nutrients such as phosphorus and potassium. At the same time, the compound fertilizer also contains a large amount of hemicellulose which is easily biodegradable. It makes more use of crop absorption and soil improvement, thereby effectively promoting crop growth. At the same time, after optimizing the screening process conditions, the biomass compound fertilizer prepared in the present disclosure also has the advantages of high fertilizer efficiency and good storage stability. Therefore, it has good practical application value.
