Improved Bleaching Performance with Reduced Cost: Optimizing ECF Bleaching Technologies with a Poor Man, 2001 Pulping Conference Proceedings

T. J. Dyer, D. C. Johnston, A. J. Ragauskas--ECF bleaching technologies now represent a globally accepted bleaching method that has minimal environmental impacts. The challenge that remains is how these ECF bleaching technologies can be utilized to minimize capital and operating costs. Our research has shown that the use of a D(E+O)* or (E+O)D(E+O)* sequence on pre- and post-O2 pulps can efficiently remove lignin. Furthermore, this bleaching procedure is relatively insensitive to the presence of bleach plant effluent and black liquor carryover. This paper quantifies the impact of black liquor carryover and shows the effects of reinforcing a poor man™s oxygen stage with hydrogen peroxide in an attempt to improve bleaching performance.
