Description

Patented June 1, 1948 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE TREATMENT or woon PULP No Drawing. Application July 27, 1943, Serial No. 496,306
12 Claims. 1
This invention relates to the treatment of wood pulp and relates more particularly to the treatment, by bleaching operations, of unbleached partially esterified wood pulp.
An object of this invention is the preparation of organic esters of cellulose of improved clarity and color from partially esterified wood pulp by steps which include bleaching the same in a novel manner.
Another object of this invention is to provide an improved process for the treatment of partially esterified, unbleached wood pulp whereby the color of the latter may be substantially improved without removing the acyl groups attached there- Other objects of this invention will appear from the following detailed description.
Partially esterified wood pulp eminently satisfactory for use in the production of organic esters of cellulose of high clarity and good color may be obtained by digesting wood particles with acetic acid or other lower aliphatic acid at elevated temperature and pressure. The partially esterified wood pulp produced has a substantial number of acyl groups combined therewith. The pulp is Washed with lower aliphatic acid until free from soluble reaction products, or with water until neutral. On further esterification the partially esterified wood pulp may be converted into cellulose esters of a higher degree of esterifica-tion.
We have now discovered that by treating par tially esterified wood pulp, prepared as described, by a novel bleaching process the color thereof may be substantially lightened without effecting any reduction in the acyl groups present. On further esterification, the partially esterified, bleached pulp yields organic esters of cellulose of excellent characteristics. In accordance with our novel bleaching process this desirable effect may be achieved if the partially esterified wood pulp is treated with a solution of peracetic acid, or other lower aliphatic peracid, in acetic acid, or other lower aliphatic acid. This treatment effects a very marked bleaching of the partially esterified pulp. The bleaching action of the peracid may be greatly accelerated, however, if there is added to the treating solution a catalyst comprising a lower aliphatic acid salt of a metal such as, for example, lead, zinc, cobalt, nickel, chromium, manganese and sodium. Examples of suitable salts which may be added to the treating solution are lead acetate, zinc acetate, cobaltous acetate, nickel acetate, chromic acetate, manganous acetate, sodium acetate, sodium propionate, sodium butyrate, lead propionate, lead butyrate, zinc propionate, zinc butyrate, cobaltous propionate, cobaltous butyrate, nickel propionate, nickel butyrate, chromic propionate, chromic butyrate, manganous propionate and manganous butyrate. In lieu of adding a metal salt of a lower aliphatic acid to the solution, we may add the metal as a com ound which under the conditions employed is converted to a lower aliphatic acid salt. Such compounds are, for example, the metal oxides and carbonates soluble in the solution, as well as metals in such state of combination as, for example, potassium permanganate and potassium dichromate. These compounds are converted under the conditions employed to lower aliphatic acid salts. Employing potassium dichromate chromic acetate is formed, while employing potassium permanganate manganous acetate is formed. Optimum results are achieved, however, employing as catalysts the metals directly in the form of their lower aliphatic acid salts.
The peracid employed for the treatment of the partially esterified pulp may be from 10 to 40% on the weight of the pulp, but optimum results are achieved employing peracetic acid in amounts of from 20 to 40% on the weight of the pulp. Usually, from 10 to 30% of peracetic acid, based on the weight of the pulp, is consumed in the bleaching operation.
The catalyst added to the peracid solution to aid the bleaching process may comprise from 0.5 to 15% on the weight of the pulp calculated as the metal contained in the catalyst. The quantity added varies with the particular catalyst being employed. Thus, for example, employing zinc acetate, an efiective quantity of catalyst is that amount containing about 2.5% of zinc on the weight of the dry pulp. Where lead acetate is used, we have found that an amount containing about 9 to 10% of lead on the weight of the pulp yields optimum results, while in the case of manganous acetate a quantity containing about 1.4% of manganese on the pulp is preferable.
The temperature of the peracid solution during the treatment may be from 15 to 115 C. but room temperatures, i. e. about 20'to 25 C. are generally preferred. The bleaching of the partially esterified pulp may be efiected in from 5 to 24 hours but in some instances the bleaching may be extended to about 96 hours.
Any suitable lower aliphatic acid may be employed as solvent for the peracetic acid or other lower aliphatic peracid in our novel bleaching process. The acid may be acetic acid, propionic acid, butyric acid and the like. The acids are preferably employed in a relatively concentrated 138 parts by weight of dry, partiaiily acetylated wood pulp of an acetyl value of 25.2%, calculated as acetic acid, are entered into a bleaching bath comprising 51.? parts by weight of peraceticacid,
12,300 parts by weight of 95% acetic acid and 8,6 parts by weight of zinc as zinc acetate. The bath is held to a temperature of about 25 C. and the pulp maintained therein for 68 hours. At the end of this period the pulp is removed, washed and dried. The acetyl value. is unchanged but the coloris substantially lighter.
The partially acetylated wood pulp employed is-produced by digesting wood chips in a sealed digester under autogenous pressure with 85% acetic acid at a temperature of at least 130 0., say 175 0., for about 8 to hours whereby the chips are pulped and the cellulosic constituents are partially acetylated; The partially acetylated pulp-produced is then washed neutral employing acetic acid of gradually diminishing strength and may then be bleached as described above in accor-dance with our novel process.
Emample II 146 parts by weight of dry. partially acetylated wood pulp having an. acetyl value of 25.2%, calculated as acetic acid, prepared as-in Example I, are entered into a bleaching bath comprising 49 parts by weight of peracetic acid, 12,200 parts by weight of 85% acetic acid and 2.0 parts by weight 137 parts by weight of dry, partially acetylated wood pulp having an acetyl value of 25.2%, calculated as acetic acid, prepared as in Example I, are entered into a, bleaching bath comprising 49 parts by weight of peracetic acid, 12,200 parts by weight of 85% acetic acid. No catalyst is added. The pulp is. held atroom temperature for 96 hours. The pulp is bleached to a considerably lighter color.
While our invention has been more particularly described in connection with the treatment of partially acetylated wood pulp, the process may be advantageously employed in the bleaching of wood pulp partially esterified by means of other organic acids. Examples of such other partly esterified wood pu-lps which may be bleached in the manner described are those obtained by digesting wood with propionic acid, butyric acid, or mixtures of each of said acids with acetic acid, or with each other. Such digestion processes yield partially esterified cellulose propionate, cellulose butyrate, cellulose aceto-propionate, and cellulose aceto-butyrate, which esters may, as stated, be advantageously bleached to improve their, color.
It is to be understood that the foregoing detailed description is given merely by way of illustration and that many variations may be made therein without departing from the spirit of our invention.
