Date Sep. 2, 1993.The invention relates to a method and apparatus for use in the pulp industry for improving the safety of a spent liquor recovery boiler, such as a soda recovery boiler. The boiler comprises, for recovering chemical and energy, a furnace cooled by water tubes and connected to the water/steam circulation system of the boiler, the cooling of the bottom of the furnace being provided by a separate cooling circulation. The separately cooled lower section of the furnace is provided by separating the bottom or the bottom and part of the furnace walls from the boiler water circulation system. This separated section is supplied with a cooling fluid of its own which may be a gas (e.g. air or inert gas) or a liquid (e.g. molten zinc) which does not cause an explosion of it contacts the melt of the furnace.
