GASIFICATION OF SULPHITE THICK LIQUOR

摘要

Method for recovering chemicals and energy from sulphite thick liquor containing organic and inorganic compounds obtained when producing pulp by chemical delignification of fibrous raw material using a sulphite pulping process, the method including processing of the organic and inorganic compounds at a global temperature above 800° C. whereby producing partly at least one phase of a liquid material and partly at least one phase of a gaseous material. The processing is carried out by gasification of the sulphite thick liquor in a gasification reactor at sub-stoichiometric conditions and in the presence of an oxidizing medium. The reactor has an opening in its bottom in the form of a chute which opens directly into a quench compartment.
