Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for producing a dimensionally stable object, preferably a container, from renewable biomass.
  • dimensionally stable objects in particular containers, as well as dimensionally stable objects from renewable raw materials have been known from the prior art for many years and are used primarily in the field of disposable packaging or disposable items.
  • Such disposable packaging or disposable items are generally used for storing, transporting or packaging food and other consumer goods.
  • the dimensionally stable objects can basically replace a large number of objects that are currently made from plastics or other durable materials.
  • Such dimensionally stable objects are in demand by both the end customer and the manufacturing companies, on the one hand in order to use objects on a sustainable basis or to provide products in objects on a sustainable basis.
  • the known dimensionally stable objects based on renewable biomass also have some fundamental disadvantages compared to the known products made of plastic, metals, glass, etc.
  • the well-known dimensionally stable objects based on renewable biomass are regularly significantly inferior in durability to "conventional" products;
  • the known dimensionally stable objects based on renewable biomass (or wood or paper-based packaging or transport objects) exhibit disadvantageous behavior in connection with moisture, due, among other things, to the hygroscopic material properties of the raw materials used.
  • the starting materials for the well-known products based on renewable raw materials are usually fibers obtained from wood.
  • Such fiber cells have different layers and consist mainly of cellulose, hemicelluloses and lignin. Different amounts of the known chemical components cellulose, hemicelluloses and lignin are present in the respective layers. The largest proportions are cellulose (approx. 50 percent) and hemicelluloses (approx. 30 percent).
  • the lignin permeates all layers and has a very low concentration near the lumen, while the majority of the lignin is located in the middle lamella and is difficult to access.
  • the wood fiber is a plant cell that has a similar structure to lignocellulose-containing annual plants.
  • the outer ring is called the middle lamella and this primarily serves to connect to the other adjacent cells and consists predominantly of water-insoluble lignin. Separating the individual fiber components naturally involves considerable effort. In the known existing processes from the paper industry, the focus was usually on removing the lignin components. This was intended to achieve a fiber-fiber bond based on so-called hydrogen bonds. However, this type of bond is very sensitive to water, and certain strength properties, such as bending and compressive strength, are strongly negatively influenced.
  • the well-known dimensionally stable objects based on renewable biomass are generally not suitable for long-term use in a moist environment, which means that a large number of uses are no longer possible.
  • substances are regularly added in one or more of the process steps for producing such dimensionally stable objects, which is intended to optimize the surface or the physical properties of the dimensionally stable object.
  • the use of additives in the processing process regularly has the consequence that, on the one hand, the processability is made more difficult, for example by having to carry out further process steps or, on the other hand, that the correspondingly produced, dimensionally stable objects are no longer able to be recycled or composted.
  • dimensionally stable objects based on renewable biomass or wood or paper-based packaging or transport objects
  • the deteriorated material properties include, among other things, reduced strength properties, elasticity, hardness or brittleness.
  • Many of the known dimensionally stable objects made from renewable biomass are also produced using unsuitable or abbreviated process steps, e.g. B. in order to achieve a "natural" product, essential auxiliary materials or additives are omitted, which on the one hand results in the above-mentioned deteriorated material properties and, on the other hand, end products with inferior aesthetics (surface, cleanliness, discoloration) are produced.
  • packaging made from plant waste from agriculture is known, which is first shredded by machine.
  • the pulp resulting from the addition of water is shaped and then dewatered using pressure.
  • Increased durability of the packaging produced by this process can be achieved by adding additives such as resins, adhesives, glues, etc., which - as already mentioned above - precludes compostability, recyclability and further use of the raw materials.
  • the dimensionally stable objects known from the prior art are therefore either not sufficiently durable or have inadequate physical properties if the product properties are based on the carbohydrate building blocks (cellulose, starch, etc.) contained in the natural raw materials; or are no longer considered natural / compostable, dimensionally stable objects if additional binders and additives are added to the manufacturing process.
  • EP0373726A2 discloses a method for producing a cellulosic fiber aggregate having a softening step and a hardening step, wherein in the softening step an aqueous softening agent is allowed to act on a section of cellulosic fiber material at a temperature in the range of 150oC to 220oC at a pressure of at least the equilibrium vapor pressure of the softening agent at the working temperature, through which the hemicellulose present in the cellulose fiber material or the lignin present in the cellulose fiber material are at least partially disproportionated and hydrolyzed.
  • a method comprising the following steps: Providing renewable biomass, wherein the renewable biomass contains at least fibers with lignin, in particular cellulose fibers with lignin, hemicelluloses and cellulose, and wherein the renewable biomass from the group of lignocellulose-containing annual plants is selected, comprising at least lignin-containing middle lamellae, cell gussets, primary and secondary walls, comminution of the renewable biomass, adding water to the renewable biomass, pretreatment of the renewable biomass by essentially converting the renewable biomass into biomass fibers by means of a high-temperature steam digestion process providing a steam, wherein the temperature of the steam used is in the range from 150 ° C to 280 ° C, preferably in the range from 175 ° C to 250 ° C, and the digestion time using the steam is in the range from 10 s to 900 s, preferably in the range of 20 s to 300 s, while retaining a majority of the lignin in the fibers, and
  • the method according to the invention has surprisingly found that the lignin has positive properties in the production process of a dimensionally stable object in that the phenolic macromolecules of the lignin are included their functional side groups act as binding agents for the dimensionally stable objects to be produced.
  • the lignin does not have to be completely removed from the biomass fibers, but can and should be retained in the fiber structure.
  • a surprising positive effect also occurs when parts of the cellulose and hemicelluloses are removed from the fiber composite of the renewable biomass and removed. In this way, a higher overall proportion of lignin is enriched in the biomass fibers provided in order to apply and implement the surprising properties of the lignin and its cross-linking in conjunction with the remaining fiber components.
  • the lignin as a 3-dimensional macromolecule, is transferred and enriched to the outer surfaces of the fibers of the biomass fibers during the processing process in order to subsequently contribute to the irreversible cross-linking of the fibers contained in the shaped object during production via its glass transition point (flow point). .
  • the resulting dimensionally stable objects have positive material properties, such as high strength values, positive water resistance properties, homogeneous material properties, etc.
  • the dimensionally stable objects produced by the method according to the invention have extensive advantages in terms of material properties compared to the products from the prior art.
  • the natural origin of lignin also means that the dimensionally stable objects can be composted and can be used secondaryally as a raw material for other product groups, for example in the wood-based materials industry.
  • the process steps can preferably be selected depending on the renewable biomass to be used. Depending on the starting material, it is also possible for individual process steps to be omitted or combined.
  • the lignin is partially "exposed" or partially available during the pretreatment, so that subsequent activation with the crosslinking of the fiber components can be carried out.
  • the method according to the invention is preferably carried out continuously or discontinuously, with particular preference for individual sub-steps, such as the pretreatment or comminution, to be carried out continuously and the shaping process or the thermal treatment to be carried out continuously or discontinuously.
  • the method according to the invention for producing the dimensionally stable objects requires a low degree of complexity in the process engineering steps, see above that cost-effective operation is possible, which in turn leads to cost-effective end products.
  • the pretreatment of the renewable biomass by essentially converting the renewable biomass into biomass fiber materials while retaining at least a large part of the lignin in the fibers, preferably at least 50% of the lignin contained in the fibers used from the renewable biomass remains in the biomass fiber material.
  • dimensionally stable object basically means all objects that can be produced using biomass fiber materials provided. These include, in particular, containers, whereby the containers can be used for a variety of functions. Such dimensionally stable objects or containers are also generally referred to as packaging materials, disposable and reusable packaging, (disposable) tableware, (disposable) bowls, (disposable) plates, (disposable) cups, and “to-go” packaging or the like known.
  • the dimensionally stable objects explicitly include objects that form voids as well as objects with solid materials. Relatively thin-walled, dimensionally stable objects are preferably produced using the method according to the invention, preferably thicknesses in the range from 0.5 mm to 10 mm, although thicker and thinner objects can also be produced using the method according to the invention.
  • renewable biomass is all biomass that comes from renewable resources.
  • Renewable biomass also includes the addition of non-renewable biomass, such as waste paper or recycled fibers, which contain a maximum of 25 percent by weight.
  • the renewable biomass preferably consists of agricultural residues, which are generally not used primarily.
  • “shredding” the renewable biomass means that the raw material used is shredded in such a way that it can be fed into the subsequent processes.
  • the size of the “shredding” can vary depending on the subsequent process steps.
  • “shredding” is used also used synonymously under the terms cutting, breaking, chopping, grating, scraping, separating, shortening or separating. Shredding regularly leads to segments with a length of 0.5 cm to 15 cm, although longer and shorter shredded segments of renewable biomass are explicitly included in the term.
  • adding water to the renewable biomass can also be done with water-like solvents or with liquids that predominantly contain water, but have other (natural) components in addition to water.
  • Dissolving and removing at least part of the cellulose and hemicelluloses means in the context of the invention that the proportion of cellulose and hemicelluloses is reduced as part of the pretreatment, or at least is reduced to a greater extent than the proportion of lignin.
  • the removal and discharge can, on the one hand, be controlled and active or, on the other hand, occur as a secondary effect as part of the pretreatment process.
  • Creating an at least partially irreversible connection through cross-linking in the sense of the invention means that not the entire dimensionally stable object has to have an irreversible connection through cross-linking, but is at least cross-linked by means of the lignin in such a way that an irreversible connection is created in some areas, whereby the corresponding positive material properties are generated in the dimensionally stable object.

  • Dissolving is understood to mean both the intentional and unintentional reduction in the proportion of fiber components that occur or can occur during the pretreatment.
