A method according to claim 1, characterized in that in the method the kappa number of pulp is measured by determining two meas- urement points corresponding to the predetermined consistency by means of the modelling function (200), and determining the kappa number of pulp by means of the measurement points.
Optical measurement of the kappa number is performed in block 110, the consistency of the sample is measured in block 112, and the brightness of the sample is measured optically in block 114.
To measure both the kappa number and the brightness, the strength of optical radiation is measured continuously at the desired wave- length at the consistencies of the desired consistency range.

The Kappa number is an indication of the lignin content or bleachability of pulp.
ISO 302:2004 is applicable to all kinds of chemical pulps and semi-chemical pulps within the Kappa number range 1 to 100.
For pulps with a Kappa number exceeding 100, use the chlorine-consumption procedure (ISO 3260) to describe the degree of delignification.

The conclusion was that raising the target kappa number of softwood pulp from 27 to 37 exiting the digester and then oxygen delignifying the pulp to kappa number 17 would reduce the quantity of wood required by 2.9%.
The quantity of white liquor required to operate a digester depends on a number of variables, including the quantity of wood that has to be cooked and the desired kappa number of the cooked pulp.
If the target kappa number is raised by a few points, there would be a reduction (by several percent) in the quantity of white liquor required in the digester.

Kappa number is largely controlled by cooking zone temperature as the pulp makes its way through the digester.
Kappa number varies linearly with lignin content and thus measures "degree of cook" in the digester.
If the kappa number is too high out of the digester, the lignin content makes the pulp hard to bleach and the brightness quickly reverts with time (e.g.

However, the planned addition of long-term kappa number controls could not continue until a number of wood moisture and operations management issues were addressed.
The upflow calculation in the lower section of the digester was negative and varying from -4.0 to -25.0 l/sec, which contributed to the kappa number's high standard deviation and chip level problems, as well as to blow temperature and consistency swings.
Kappa numbers at the Intercontinental mill have averaged around 25 for several years.

Kappa number is an index used by the pulp and paper industry to express the lignin content of a pulp.
Variation of this type can be quantified with the standard kappa number test because the sample size required for the test is small enough to resolve low frequency variation within the digester.
Studies by one of the PIs (Gustafson) have shown that variation of kappa number from fiber to fiber may have significant impact on pulp bleachability (2).

Evidence is beginning to suggest that low kappa number pulping and TCF bleaching produce lower yields of bleached pulp compared with ECF bleaching of pulps with kappa numbers of more than 20.
If environmental considerations force digester kappa numbers and bleaching technology into regions where strength loss occurs, then a higher percentage of the low-yield TCF pulp must be added to the paper furnish to maintain the strength of the sheet.
But there is growing evidence to suggest that pulping to kappa number 14 followed by TCF bleaching will increase wood consumption by 9 to 11% compared with pulping to 30 kappa number with the same digester configuration, followed by ECF bleaching.

In order to produce a low Kappa number pulp after an oxygen stage, nitrogen dioxide preoxidation was superior to modification of the kraft cook, Kappa number 9-10 should be compared to 13-14 in the latter case.
A number of these methods made it possible to further reduce the Kappa number to about 8 after the oxygen stage.
Kappa number reduction from 17-9, the first figure representing a conventionally cooked and oxygen bleached kraft pulp, decreased the consumption of active chlorine up to 55%.

Continuous Digester controls provide precise control of the kappa number, improving pulp uniformity out of the digester and stabilizing unit processes in a variety of areas throughout the mill, including washing, screening, the bleach plant, chemical recovery, and the paper machines.
Kappa Number Control employs a number of advanced statistical process control (SPC) techniques to minimize the total kappa number variation by taking corrective action only for true process shifts.
This SPC approach is combined with a modified H-factor model of the cooking process to provide comprehensive control of the kappa number via adjustment of the cooking temperature setpoints.

The kappa number distributions of pulps analyzed with a density gradient column compare favorably to those measured with the flow-through instrument.
The fiber kappa number distribution of pulp may have a substantial impact on pulp properties and processing costs.
In non-AQ cooks, the kappa number distribution tends to narrow as the cook progresses, and the delignification rate slows in the fibers of low kappa number.

In the extended cooking of Scandinavian softwoods from Kappa number 25 to 15, yield loss of 1.7 points-from 42.5 to 40.8%-was experienced,10 increasing the mill's wood use by 4% to cover the yield deficit.
Pulping to Kappa number 50, followed by oxygen delignification prior to bleaching is a prudent approach that gains the yield improvement while meeting environmental obligations.
The difference in AOX discharge that resulted from bleaching Kappa number 30-O2 pulp compared with that from Kappa number 50-O2-O2 pulp was found to be insignificant.6 Parsad, et al 26 reported that the AOX generated during DE(OP)D bleaching of Kappa number 50-O2-O2 pulp was about 1.14 lb/a.d.

The target Kappa is 32 and the installation of this control system has reduced standard deviation from 3.76 to 3.38 despite wide swings in chip quality.
Kappa Number predictions will improve as the model is refined for a smaller range of operating conditions (after EA variations are reduced).
It should be noted that the calculations used are conservative as the Kappa number standard deviation (SD) used are the average of daily averages for all cases, which will tend to understate the SD and the potential savings.

Kraft and oxygen delignified pulps with various kappa numbers were prepared from fl spruce and western hemlock chips.
The bleachability (ratio of kappa number decrease to chlorine dioxide applied) of the different pulps at the same kappa number varied with both wood furnish and delignification process.
Thus, unbleached kappa number alone is not a reliable indicator of bleachability for these pulps.

Adding surfactant-based digester additives reduces the surface tension between the liquor and the wood, allowing a more thorough wetting of the chip surface and thereby facilitating penetration of the cooking liquor into the inner matrices of the wood.
Kappa number, residual active alkali, extractives, and percent rejects can be chosen as parameters to judge the effectiveness of a surfactant program.
Figure 3 shows the effects of digester surfactants on the residual active alkali content of fl liquor in softwood pulp as a function of kappa number.

 yet2.com - TechPak - Continuous in-line kappa measurement system
A system for the continual, real-time, in-situ generation of a Kappa number used by a process control system to control the delignification of papermaking pulps that includes injecting broad-spectrum light energy from a light energy source into the pulp and collecting the resultant reflected light energy from a near-and a far-light collector.
The reflected light energy collected by the light collectors is analyzed by associated near- and far-light analyzers that generate analog output signals representing the intensity of selected wavelengths of light energy received by the light collectors.
The output signal from the measurement computer is converted by an input/output device into a signal form acceptable by the process control system, where it is used to control the delignification process in accordance to the Kappa number representation.
