Method for increasing throughput of pulping process and/or reducing energy usage

摘要

A method of increasing throughput of a pulping process and/or reducing energy usage includes providing multiple lignocellulosic chips, providing a refining composition, and refining a plurality of lignocellulosic chips. And mechanically refining a plurality of lignocellulosic chips to produce a pulp. The refining composition includes water and a lubricating additive that includes the reaction product of sugar and alcohol. Less than 5 minutes after performing the step of applying the refining composition to the lignocellulosic chips, or at the same time, mechanically refining the wood chips to produce pulp.
