Abstract
Abstract An alkaline sulfite pulping process in which the lignocellulosic material is cooked in a solution containing sodium sulfite is provided. Sodium aluminate is used as a buffering agent. As a result of this, the stability of the pH of the cook and the properties of the pulp are improved. The amount of sodium aluminate as NaOH is from 2% to 8% based on the dry weight of the chips. The pulping process is carried out with the addition of a small dosage of anthraquinone, to produce chemically defibered pulps.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
83 words
An alkaline pulping process for chips of lignocellulosic material which comprises cooking said lignocellulosic material at 140°-210° C. for 250 minutes with a solution containing sodium sulfite at a pH of 10-13.5 in the presence of sodium aluminate as a buffering agent in the amount of 2% to 8% as NaOH based on the dry weight of the chips of lignocellulosic material, and 0.2% anthraquinone, wherein said cooking is carried out to produce a pulp of high viscosity, high strength and good yield.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
83 words
An alkaline pulping process for chips of lignocellulosic material which comprises cooking said lignocellulosic material at 140°-210° C. for 250 minutes with a solution containing sodium sulfite at a pH of 10-13.5 in the presence of sodium aluminate as a buffering agent in the amount of 2% to 8% as NaOH based on the dry weight of the chips of lignocellulosic material, and 0.2% anthraquinone, wherein said cooking is carried out to produce a pulp of high viscosity, high strength and good yield.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
23 words
A process according to claim 1, wherein the amount of sodium aluminate as NaOH is about 4% of the dry weight of chips.
