DELIGNIFICATION OF FLAX SHIVE

Delignification of the flax shive (wastes of oakum and heat insulation production) was studied. Chemical composition of the work material (mass parts in percents from the bone-dry material): cellulose 30,7, lignin 33,1, pentosans 28,0, extractable by organic solvent 4,3, extractable by hot water 5,4, ash 1,7. The flax shive was delignificated in laboratory condition by means of peracetic acid, hydrogen peroxide and sulfate cooking solution. The conditions of peracetic pulping: initial mass part of the «icy» acetic acid in cooking solution 0,65, perhydrol 0,35, the catalyst concentration (sodium tungstate) 0,03 g-mol/dm3, liquid module 6, temperature 92 °C; pulp yield 46,1% without of undercooked pulp. The conditions of peroxide pulping: initial concentration of hydrogen peroxide 17%, liquid module 6, complex catalyst concentration 0,1 g-mol/dm3 (molar parts of the Na2WO4, Na2MoO4 and H2SO4 in catalyst composition are 0,3 : 0,3 : 0,4 accordingly), temperature 98 °C; pulp yield 45,8% without undercooked pulp. The conditions of sulfate pulping: initial concentration of active alkali 55 g/dm3 (in Na2O unit), degree of sulfidity 18%, liquid module 4, temperature 170 °C; pulp yield 32,3% without undercooked pulp. Samples of the technical cellulose, received by oxidizing methods, excel sulphate cellulose in relation to yield, ability for milling, whiteness and mechanical properties (except for tear). On the set of normalized properties they approach to characteristic of kraft bleached pulp from deciduous woods and can be considered as perspective stringy half-finished for production of the paper sanitary-household and hygienic purpose.
