Abstract:

The effects of microwave on the permeability of eucalyptus were studied by comparing the liquid absorption of wood chips under microwave with that under water bath. Under the same immersion conditions(NaOH 4% and mass fraction of wood chips 20%), the absorbed liquid quality of the microwave treated wood chips was significantly higher than that of the water bath. Microwave treatment for 5 minutes could reach the same absorbed liquid quality of 45 minutes in the water bath treatment, greatly improving the impregnation efficiency of wood chips. Then, microwave was used in the pre-impregnation of chemical mechanical pulping. The whiteness of the second stage bleaching pulp obtained by microwave impregnation could reach up to 68.9%(ISO), which was 3 - 6 percentage points higher than that of samples obtained by steaming impregnation. When the freeness of Canada was 305 mL, the tensile strength index could reach 19 N·m/g, the tear index could reach 2.15 mN·m2/g, and the bursting index could reach 0.8 kPa·m2/g. Furthermore, the tensile strength index was increased by 3 N·m/g on average, and the tear index was increased by about 0.2 mN·m2/g, while the bursting index was increased by about 0.1 kPa·m2/g.
