  1. MODELING OF REACTIONS WITH DIFFUSION

  2. Semi-infinite slab reaction-diffusion model is improved to better approximate effects of chip thickness and length Dissolved lignin and carbohydrate Alkali Heat Sulfide CHIP LIQUOR

  3. Approximation of 3-d diffusion Equivalent-sphere model Slab model Actual 3-dimensional diffusion in chips is better approximated by the sphere model than the slab model

  4. Sphere approximates 3-d diffusion better than slab model Average Concentration 1:1:3 chips Sphere 1:3:5 chips Infinite slab Diffusion number, Dt/L2

  5. Three-dimensional diffusion Approximation for 3-d diffusion in wood chips is used • Characteristic time ratio (L2/D) for diffusion along length and thickness is from 2:3 to 1:50 • Diffusion calculation uses a sphere • Equal specific surface for chip and sphere • Sphere model improves on slab model • Complexity of 3-d modeling is avoided

  6. Improvement from sphere model

  7. Reaction-diffusion in a sphere

  8. Model Variables Profile across the chip and along the digester is calculated • Alkali concentration • Temperature • Dissolved Organics • Lignin content in chip • Carbohydrate content

  9. Validation of sphere model Predicting data from three different sources • Thin chip pulping at varying alkali charge • Effect of chip thickness on kappa number • A priori prediction for commercial chips • Predicting screening rejects • Estimating kappa distribution for pulp

  10. Effect of chip thickness

  11. Effect of thickness and alkali

  12. Prediction of screening rejects

  13. Estimated fiber kappa distribution
