IMPROVED KRAFT PULP YIELD BY HEAT TREATMENT OF POLYSULPHIDE LIQUORS GENERATED BY OXIDATION

摘要

Oxidized white liquor is heat treated to increase the concentration of PSUV measured at 285 or 286 nm or PSVIS measured at 416 nm and the PSUV/PSGR or PSVIS/PSGR ratio, whereby the content of active polysulphide in the total polysulphide is increased which active polysulphide can be exploited to increase pulp yield in Kraft pulping.
