Investigation on the Electrochemical Delignification of Pulp with Syringaldehyde

Article Preview

Abstract:

The low molecular syringaldehyde was found to be a preferred natural mediator for pulp delignification in the electrochemically mediated delignification system (EMD-system). Electrochemical treatment of poplar kraft pulp with syringaldehyde results in the reduction of kappa number of about 28%, but the loss of viscosity is only 6.6%. During the process of electrochemically mediated delignification , the delignification efficiency is dependent on the voltage, the dosage of syringaldehyde , reaction temperature , pH value, reaction time and the composition of electrolyte solution. The optimum operating parameters of electrochemical delignification with syringaldehyde are obtained as follows: syringaldehyde 1mmol/l, voltage 1.8v, temperature 45°C, reaction time 4.5h, the pH-value in the range from 4.0 to 5.0, sodium sulfate 0.05mol/l.
