Incremental capacity for handling black liquor solids. The encountered difficulties

are mainly the adequate carbon conversion for the low-temperature process

and the choice of materials for the high-temperature process. With regard to

black liquor solids, the capacities of the currently installed systems are less than

10% Of today’s largest recovery boilers. When the process and material issues are

settled, appropriate scale-up will be the next challenge. Nevertheless, it is expected

that gasifier-based recovery systems will operate a number of reactors in parallel

because physical limitations restrict the maximum size of a unit.

With regard to the combined-cycle systems, the BLG processes must be followed

by efficient gas-cleaning steps. Cleaning of the synthesis gas is especially needed

because some volatile tar is formed during gasification, and this must be kept

from entering the gas turbine.

9.2.3.3.3 In-Situ Causticization

The second group of technologies on the brink of commercialization includes

autocausticization. This is based on the formation of sodium hydroxide in the

recovery furnace by means of soluble borates circulating in the cooking chemical

cycle. Under certain conditions of causticizing or lime kiln limitations, partial

autocausticizing can remove a bottleneck. Mill trials have demonstrated the technical

feasibility, improved causticizing efficiency, and energy savings in lime

reburning, and the process has been applied in one mill [26].

Another technique of in-situ causticization is that of direct causticizing. The process

Is still in the conceptual phase, and builds on the formation of sodium titanates

or manganates in combination with BLG. The reactions in the gasifier

release carbon dioxide to the product gas. Titanates are more efficient at converting

carbonates to carbon dioxide than are manganates. The metal oxides proceed

from the gasifier to a leaching step, where sodium hydroxide is formed in the

presence of water. The insoluble metal oxides are then separated from the liquor

and returned to the gasifier [27].

9.2.3.3.4 Vision Bio-Refinery

Although a general breakthrough in novel recovery techniques is not expected

before 2010–2015, it is likely that over the next decades a number of technologies

will emerge to match certain applications. Fully commercialized BLGCC applications

will add substantial flexibility to pulp mill operations, and will represent a

most important step towards the pulp mill as a bio-refinery. Developments in the

future may then involve the production of liquid biofuels from product gas, export

of pure hydrogen or fabrication of hydrogen-based products [28].

Sulfite Chemical Recovery

The recovery of cooking chemicals from the sulfite pulping process can be split

Into primary and secondary recovery steps. This definition relates to the recovery

of sulfur dioxide (see Fig. 9.17). In sulfite cooking, gas is continuously relieved

from the digester for pressure control during the time at temperature, and the

cook is also terminated by a pressure relief. The resulting relief gas contains considerable

amounts of sulfur dioxide together with a bulk of water vapor and some

NCG such as carbon oxides. In the primary recovery system, this gas is subjected

to countercurrent absorption by fresh cooking acid in a number of vessels operated

under staged pressure levels.
