Abstract
Abstract A modified batch cooking technique for making sulfate pulp with a high degree of delignification or with a normal degree of delignification but with increased pulp viscosity. This is effected by one or several displacements of the liquor in the digester with liquor of the same temperature as the cooking liquor but with a lower lignin content.

A method of making sulfate pulp with a high degree of delignification from lignocellulose material in a batch digester, said method comprising the steps of cooking said lignocellulose material in said batch digester at a digester temperature in a first cooking phase utilizing a cooking liquor containing white liquor and black liquor to provide a free liquor having a first lignin content; displacing substantially all of said free liquor after said first cooking phase with a displacement liquor having a lower lignin content than said first lignin content and having substantially the same temperature as said digester temperature; thereafter cooking said lignocellulose material in the presence of said displacement liquor in a second cooking phase to provide a free liquor having a second lignin content from said lignocellulose material, separating the pulp from said free liquor having said second lignin content by washing and filtering to provide a filtrate, adding white liquor to said filtrate to form a composition of liquor, and utilizing said composition of liquor as said displacement liquor, said method including only two cooking phases as aforesaid, said displacing step being carried out when the lignocellulose material has been cooked to a yield of between about 50% and 54% in said first cooking phase.
