RESUMO

The main objective of this work was to study the influence of the alkali charge on Lo-Solidsâ modified kraft pulping process for eucalyptus, considering parameters as yield, rejects content, total dissolved solids materials and the pulp characteristics as kappa number, viscosity, carbohydrate composition and fibers dimensions. Woods from hybrids of Eucalyptus grandis x Eucalyptus urophylla 7 years old and presented basic density of 0,499 and 0,559g/cm 3 were evaluated and the pulping process was conducted applying active alkali charge (as Na2O) of 13%, 15%, 17%, 19%, 21%, 23%, 24%, 25%, 27% and sulfidity of 30%. The results showed that varying the alkali charge is possible to obtain unbleached pulp with kappa number from 8 to 30, pulp yield from 46 to 53%, viscosity from 10 to 80cP, alkali solubility (S5) from 7 to 13%, pentosans content from 11 to 16% and hexenuronic acids content from 10 to 65µmol/g. It was verified that the higher is the alkali charge the higher is the fines generation leading to a decreased of fiber length and the cell wall thickness. Although the hybrids studied presented different wood basic density, the pulping results obtained were not different showing that both raw-materials could be used to pulp production with Lo-SolidsÒ pulping process, which seems not to be so affect by wood basic density. The pulp obtained from hybrid with higher basic density showed higher cell wall thickness, higher fiber coarseness and lower number of fibers per gram than the hybrid with lower basic density. The analysis of black liquor showed that the pH, the effective residual alkali and the total dissolved solids materials increased when the alkali charge applied is higher too, however a uniform profile is noted for these variables, showing the homogeneity of Lo-SolidsÒ pulping process.
