The present invention discloses the continuous process for production of cellulose pulp from grass-like plant feedstock suitable for paper making. Process comprising the steps of: preparing the grass-like plant feedstock by comminuting, dedusting, continuous digestion, disperging, diluting the cellulose pulp, screening and fractionation, concentration to remove black liquor, dilution with fresh water, yielding final cellulose pulp suitable for manufacturing of paper or cellulose sheets, and, optionally, pulp bleaching processes. The continuous digestion is performed in the vertical column at 70-100 °C for 40 minutes to 2 hours; average composition of thus formed digestion suspension is maintained within the following ranges: 0.9-1.5% w/w of NaOH; 0.15-0.4% w/w of NaCl or Na2SO3; and 15-18% w/w of grass-like plant feedstock; where concentrations of ingredients being calculated on the weight of the liquid phase. Screening and fractionation are resulting with two fractions; one being further processed by milling, and another being further processed to final pulp with or without bleaching processes. The preferred grass-like feedstock for the process is miscanthus /Miscanthus x giganteus, Andersson/. |
