diffusion washer : A cylindrical screen located inside the top of an upflow tower which removes excess filtrate from the stock as it passes upwards between several thin concentric hollow rings that are perforated to permit the filtrate to enter. At the same time wash water is added to displace the filtrate and diffuse transversely through the stock. 3, record 2, English, - diffusion%20washing

En même temps, on introduit de l'eau de lavage pour déplacer les filtrats en les diffusant radialement dans la pâte. 1, record 2, French, - lavage%20par%20diffusion

Multistage bleaching performed in one or two towers. Pulp is pushed through a tower in plug flow; chemicals and wash water are injected to treat the pulp, displace out the solutions of the previous stages and, in turn, are displaced out of the pulp by subsequent stages. This form of bleaching has the advantages of rapid reaction rates, savings in heat and power, and the reduction of the number of towers required for a bleaching sequence. However this technology has been shown to have very high bleach chemical consumption. 3, record 3, English, - displacement%20bleaching

Procédé de blanchiment qui emploie le principe du déplacement d'un diffuseur en continu, à travers un gâteau de pâte plutôt que d'être mélangés de façon conventionnelle dans la pâte. Le blanchiment est très rapide puisque la vitesse de réaction est directement reliée aux gradients élevés de concentration que peuvent être maintenus durant la phase de déplacement. Les avantages de ce système sont des économies de vapeur et d'énergie, des temps de séjour plus courts, et la possibilité d'effectuer un blanchiment à plusieurs stades dans une seule tour. Cependant la consommation de produits chimiques de ce procédé est très élevée. 2, record 3, French, - blanchiment%20par%20d%C3%A9placement

The principle of displacement bleaching is illustrated in Figure 11-24, along with its corresponding flowsheet notation. The development of the Kamyr atmospheric diffusion washer allowed the displacement principle to be applied commercially. Kamyr succeeded in mounting a series of diffusion units in a single tower to accomplish a multi-stage bleaching sequence. Typically, the chlorination is carried out at medium consistency and the chlorinated stock is then pumped to the bottom of the displacement tower incorporating stages EDED(Figure 11-27). To ensure that maximum brightness is achieved, some systems now include a second tower which provides longer retention time between the second displacement with chlorine dioxide and the final wash.... 1, record 4, English, - atmospheric%20diffusion%20washer

La mise au point des appareils de lavage par diffusion a permis que ce principe soit mis en pratique (figure 11-25). Kamyr a réussi à assembler une série de diffuseurs dans une seule tour pour réaliser une séquence de blanchiment multiphase. On effectue habituellement la chloration à moyenne concentration, puis on pompe la suspension vers la base de la tour de déplacement où ont lieu les séquences EDED (voir figure 11-26). Plusieurs de ces installations sont actuellement en exploitation, et on leur attribue une consommation d'eau et d'énergie beaucoup plus faible, un encombrement moindre, mais une consommation de produits chimiques quelque peu plus élevée (principalement parce que la théorie du déplacement n'est pas parfaite). 1, record 4, French, - appareil%20de%20lavage%20par%20diffusion
