Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method of increasing the brightness of pulp, pulp made from such methods and methods of using such pulp.
- Bleaching is a common method for increasing the whiteness of pulp. Industry practice for improving appearance of fluff pulp is to bleach the pulp to ever-higher levels of brightness (the Technical Association of the Pulp & Paper Industry (“TAPPI”) or the International Organization for Standardization (“ISO”)). However, bleaching is expensive, environmentally harsh and often is a source of manufacturing bottleneck. Widespread consumer preference for a brighter, whiter pulp drives manufacturers to pursue ever more aggressive bleaching strategies. While highly bleached pulps are "whiter” than their less-bleached cousins, they are still yellow-white in color. A yellow-white product is undesirable. Countless studies suggest that consumers clearly favor a blue-white over a yellow-white color. The former is perceived to be whiter, i.e., "fresh”, “new” and “clean”, while the latter is judged to be “old”, “faded”, and "dirty”.
- any optical enhancement is usually accomplished by addition of tinting colorants, fillers, and/or fluorescent dye during the papermaking stage.
- a process for enhancing the whiteness, brightness, and chromaticity of papermaking fibers has been described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,482,514. The process relates to adding photoactivators, particularly water-soluble phthalocyanines, to papermaking fibers to enhance their optical properties by a catalytic photosensitizer bleaching process. The resulting bleached papermaking fibers can be advantageously incorporated into paper sheets.
- TAPPI brightness serves as the de facto standard in lieu of an industry-specific whiteness specification such as CIE Whiteness (Commission Internationale d'Eclairage). Because of this, brightness serves two key roles. First, brightness is a manufacturing parameter. Second, brightness is a specification for classifying finished product grades. The implicit, but dubious, assumption to this day has been that brightness is equivalent to whiteness. Common papermaking practice is to either add blue tinting dyes or tinting pigments and/or different types of blue-violet fluorescent dyes to boost whiteness properties. Tinting colorants are either finely ground colored pigments suspended in a dispersant or synthetically produced direct dyes. Tinting dyes have some affinity to cellulose while tinting pigments have little to none.
- Fluorescent whitening agents FWA or optical brightening agents (OBA) are used in the pulp and paper industry are of three types: di-, tetra-, or hexasulphonated stilbene compounds, for example. These chemicals require ultraviolet (UV) light to excite fluorescence. While there is strong UV content in daylight, even common office lights produce enough UV light to permit some excitation.
- UV ultraviolet
- OBAs are added at the wet end of papermaking processes, which include for example, the machine chest and/or the fan pump, where the fiber solution is at low consistencies that are less than about 3% solids.
- the fiber solution is at low consistencies that are less than about 3% solids.
- the OBA must be added at high concentrations (lbs/ton of fiber or pulp) in order to achieve high quality fibers having high brightness and high brightness improvements.

- FIGURE 2 Graphs of ISO Brightness v.s OBA Level of Handsheets made from pulp treated with OBA, dose data set.

- FIGURE 5 Raman spectra of OBA only and pulp with different levels of OBA added conventionally.
- FIGURE 6 Raman spectra of pulp with different levels of OBA added according to one aspect of the present invention.
- FIGURE 7 Raman spectra of pulp with different levels of OBA added conventionally and added according to one aspect of the present invention.
- FIGURE 8 Graph of the peak ratio (1604/900Cm "1 ) within Raman spectra of pulp with different levels of OBA added conventionally and added according to one aspect of the present invention (Hardwood and Softwood) as depicted in Table 10.
- FIGURE 9 UV/VIS absorbance at 350 nm of water estract vs. Actual Amount of OBA on fibers, lbs/ton.
- FIGURE 10 OBA peak height vs. OBA added (lbs/ton) via the conventional addition method and added according to one aspect of the present invention (Hardwood and Softwood).
- FIGURE 11 OBA peak height vs. OBA added (lbs/ton) via the conventional addition method and added according to one aspect of the present invention (Hardwood and Softwood).
- the present inventor has surprisingly found an method of efficiently increasing the brightness and whiteness of pulp and paper while using less OBA applied thereto, thereby providing for a much more efficient manner of providing a fiber-OBA complex containing greater fiber-OBA interaction on the whole than conventional methodologies of creating a fiber- OBA complex.
- Such a fiber-OBA complex made by the method according to the present invention has greater increases in brightness and whiteness than the fiber alone as compared to traditional methodologies as described below.
- the present invention relates, in part, to a method of making pulp.
- the pulp may be fluff or papermakmg pulp.
