Precipitation of sulfite waste liquor with coustic lime has been investigated.
Caustic lime was added stepwise and the course of the precipitation was followed by measuring PH, content of methoxzyl group, amount of the precipitate. ash and sugar contents of the supernatant liquor as well as of the prectipitate, sugar content was measured by paper chromatography.
It was found that nearly 80% of the sugars existed in sulfite waste liquor remained unprecipitated in solution.
Decomposition of the precipitate with the required amount of hydrochloric acid chiefly gave an aqueous solution of the soluble ligninsulfonate and calcium chloride, 30% of the solid of the solution being calcium chloride.
When this solution was spray dried, calcium chloride in the dry matter dissolved little in alcohol of above 97.5%, probably because calcium chloride was covered with the lignosulfonate, which was insoluble in alcohol.
As the result of the concrete test, it was shown that the spray dried matter thus obtained has good properties as dispersing agent for cement.
