Özet:In this study, the kinetic analysis of oxygen delignification of Turkish southern hardwood Kraft pulp was carried out. Kraft pulp was obtained from Mopak Dalaman pulp and paper mill. The kinetic rate data were collected in a 1 L high pressure batch reactor. The delignification experiments were carried out under a wide range of industrially significant conditions of temperature (90, 100 and 110 oC), alkali charge (1, 3, 5% on oven dry pulp), and oxygen partial pressure (0.5, 3.5, 6.5 bar). In order to achieve this objective, the study is separated into different stages. In the first stage of the work, the mass transfer effects were examined for different pulp consistencies. It was seen that the inter-fiber mass transfer resistances become negligible at the consistencies below 1%. Therefore, the experiments were performed at 0.5% consistency. In the following stage, the kinetics of oxygen delignification was studied and the governing rate equations were derived. Then, the kinetics of the carbohydrate degradation was analyzed in order to determine the extent of delignification without the reduction in the pulp strength. The delignification and the carbohydrate degredation rate during oxygen delignification increase with increasing in alkali concentration, oxygen partial pressure and temperature. However, the most effective parameters are the alkali concentration and temperature. The dimensionless terms for Kappa number, intrinsic viscosity and reaction time were used in order to generalize the results and to make them independent of the initial Kappa number, the intrinsic viscosity, experimental conditions and pulping conditions prior to oxygen delignification. These dimensionless parameters were fitted to nonlinear equations from which the control of the oxygen delignification towers can be done with a simple equation. The same approach was also used for the reported
