METHOD OF PRODUCING DISSOLVING PULP, DISSOLVING PULP AND USE OF METHOD

摘要

A method of producing dissolving pulp from a recycled fibrous feedstock. The method comprises providing a fibrous material comprising cellulose, lignin and hemicellulose, said fibre source further having a lignin content of 0.1 to 7 % lignin and an ash content of up to 3%;subjecting the fibrour material to an alkaline extraction at a temperature of about0 to 25 º C, to produce fibres having a reduced content of hemicellulose; subjecting the fibres thus obtained to a bleaching treatment carried out with oxidative chemical reagents in order to reduce the lignin content of the fibres; and recovering the fibres thus obtained. By means of the method, dissolving pulp can be produced from recycled paper and cardboard products.
