Ultrafiltration of kraft cooking liquors from a continuous cooking process

Wallberg, Ola LU ; Holmqvist, Anders LU and Jönsson, Ann-Sofi LU (2005) In Desalination 180(1-3). p.109-118
Abstract
Two cooking liquors and a black liquor were fractionated by ultrafiltration. The liquors were withdrawn from different stages in a kraft pulp mill employing continuous digestion. The ultrafiltration was performed at 90 degrees C with two ceramic membranes with cut-offs of 5 kDa and 15 kDa. Only small differences in membrane performance were observed when concentrating the three liquors to 90% volume reduction. The average flux was 55 1/m(2) h for the 5 kDa membrane and about 1151/m(2)h for the 15 kDa membrane. The concentration of lignin was on average 230 and 155 g/L in the retentate from the 5 kDa and 15 kDa cut-off membranes. The ash content was reduced from 37-40 g/g total dry solids to 20-30 g/g after ultrafiltration.
