Chemical pulping processes
The main objective is to remove (dissolve) lignin and recover
cellulosic fibers (pulp)
Removal of other non-carbohydrate materials (extractives)
also targeted
Due to the pulping conditions, varying amounts of
hemicelluloses are also lost (sometimes desired, usually not)
Some cellulose losses also take place
Roughly, pulp yield is c. 50% (40-60%) of raw material
Cooking chemicals are recovered for re-use (not in all very
small mills)
Most of pulp is bleached to obtain required brightness

10 30/7/2015
Sulphite pulping processes
Cooking chemicals are sodium, calcium or ammonium sulphites
The conditions are acidic
Lignin is sulphonated and dissolved (as water-soluble derivative)
Hemicelluloses are partially hydrolysed, to give sugars to the
pulping spent liquor (also furfural, sugar acids, etc)
The process is mainly used for hardwood and some softwood
Was the dominating pulping process in the past, now small (but
important) role. Now new sulphite pulp mills have been
constructed since early 1980s!
Also used for dissolving pulp (high cellulose content) production

Kraft (or sulphate) pulping processes
”Kraft” is a German word, meaning ”strength” (of pulp derived)
Sulphate refers to sodium sulphate, used as make-up chemical
Uses NaOH and Na2S as the pulping chemicals (alkaline)
Lignin is degraded and dissolved (Na2S needed) and will
contain some organic sulphur (bad smell)
Hemicelluloses are largely converted into hydroxy acids
Used for hardwood and softwood
Huge pulp mill capacities (up to 2 million tons) operate
Numerous huge new mills constructed recently
Special pre-hydrolysis kraft pulp mills use water-vapour
pretreatment step to remove most of the hemicelluloses
(required for the manufacture of dissolving pulp)

13 30/7/2015
Soda pulping processes
Uses NaOH and as the pulping chemicals (alkaline)
Soda refers to sodium carbonate, used as make-up chemical
Used typically for non-wood raw materials
Lignin is degraded and dissolved (without Na2S); does not
organic sulphur (no bad smell)
Hemicelluloses are largely converted into hydroxy acids
Very small mills do not recover sodium for re-use

Organosolv processes
Based on the use of different organic solvents
Planned especially for hardwood and non-wood materials
Planned for selective fractionation of all major raw material
constituents
No industrial scale process currently in operation
Two companies especially aim for Asian straw pulping
markets:
CIMV from France
Chempolis from Finland
They use formic or acetic acids as the main solvents

36 30/7/2015
Chinese lignosulphonate capacity steadily increasing
There is very little sulphite pulp industry in China to explain the volume of lignosulphonates.
Possibly mainly based on post-sulphonation of non-wood soda lignins?
In China, high demand for construction and agriculture

Vanillin from lignosulphonates
Today, 15% of global vanillin production is based on oxidation of
lignosulphonates (yield is c. 10%)
Two producers: Borregaard (Norway), Bailu Papermaking (China)
In the past, also produced in the US, Canada, Japan, USSR, Poland
(and other Chinese plants). Many plants closed 1980-2000.
Isolated by-products include dehydrodivanillin, acetovanillone, and
oxalic acid.
Vanillin Acetovanillone

Tall oil (“pine oil”)
”Tall” is Swedish meaning pine.
Isolated at numerous softwood kraft pulp mills worldwide
Distilled at c. 20 distilleries to different fatty and resin acid fractions
(and residues). Phytosterols also isolated in many countries
Production figure steady: 1.4-1.5 million tonnes
The main fractions are valuable products
Recent interest also for the manufacture of biodiesel
Softwood (tall oil and gum rosin) are the only sources of pine rosin

DMSO – Dimethyl sulphoxide (via DMS)
More valuable product from black liquor processing
Pilot-scale production in Finland from
black liquor in the 1940s
Knowledge transferred to the USA,
where production from the 1960s to
2010 (by Gaylord Chemical). During
the recent years, c. 1/3 of global
DMSO was from black liquor.
Also, dimethyl sulphone (MSM) was
produced.
DMSO also produced in the Soviet
Union (1974-1990s)

Kraft (and soda) lignin uses
Modified for dispersants and related uses
Phenol formaldehyde resins
Increading interest for commercialisation in polyurethanes,
carbon fibers, and different composites or plastic blends
Post-sulphonated kraft lignins are on the markets; uses are
similar to those of proper lignosulphonates
Uncertain future availability of lignosulphonates has strongly
increased attention to post-sulphonate alkali lignin, and also
to recovery of sulphonated lignins from pretreatment
processes in bioethanol production

Borregaard is planning to ensure lignosulphonate supply
by a novel pretreatment process (BALI)
Sulphite-based pretreatment yields lignin as water-soluble lignosulphonates,
to ensure sufficient supply.
Commercial plant(s) can be expected in a few years time.

Conclusions
If more economical and environmentally sound solution for the utilization of
non-wood raw materials can be developed, it would be possible to raise the
world non-wood pulp production significantly from the present level.
There are promising future potential markets for non-wood soda lignins (as
they have many good properties and lack of smelling sulphur). A growing
area is the production of synthetic lignosulphonates.
An important requirement is secured supply of constant quality pulping raw
material.
The isolation of hydroxy acids will depend on the development techno-
economically feasible recovery and purification methods.
Sugar-based pre-extraction or pre-hydrolysis products also have potential
markets; the feasible recovery process needs to be optimised
The first mill-scale organosolv non-wood pulp mill is possible in near future.
