Next Generation Technology for Enhancing Pulp Bleaching, 2016 Pulping, Engineering, Environmental, Recycling, Sustainability (PEERS) Conference Proceedings

New technology is available to manufacturers of bleached chemical pulp that can improve quality and increase production.

The use of enzymes to treat pulp prior to bleaching has been known for many years. Certain enzymes have the ability to release lignins and other substances from the fiber. The benefit would be reduction in bleach chemical use and more efficient operation of the bleach plant. But the extreme temperatures and pH conditions in unbleached kraft pulps made the practical application of enzymes impossible.

There is a new generation enzyme‐based product that provides significant advantages and makes it possible to accomplish the goal of reduced chemical use, along with other significant benefits. This product is now used successfully in world‐class pulp mills. Use of the enzymatic technology reduces the kappa number of the pulp just before the bleach plant.
