Abstract

Causticizing step is a process to convert green liquor into white liquor in kraft pulping mill, and this process also produces a precipitated calcium carbonate as a by-product. If this causticizing calcium carbonate (CCC) could be extracted from this step as paper making material, the lime-kiln operation would be shortened or stopped ; thus the consumption of fuel oil and the discharge of CO2 gas can be reduced. However, the conventional CCC has serious problem of lower brightness, higher wire abrasion and poor opacifying ability as paper filler. Then, we challenged controlling the morphology of CCC like commercial precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) . In this paper, slaking and causticizing reactions were separated and precisely controlled, and then various shapes of CCC with high opacifying ability and little wire abrasion could be successfully obtained.
