<p>The invention concerns a procedure for controlling cellulose digestion by measuring the activity of chemicals exerting essential influence on cellulose digestion which are present in the cellulose digester, the feeding of chemicals to be added into the cellulose digester being controlled on the basis of the result of measurement. The measurement is carried out by placing in the cellulose digester one or several measuring electrodes (12) and reference electrodes (13) and a current-supplying counterelectrode (14), to the circuit thus established being supplied current from a current source (15) in such manner that the voltage across the measuring electrode (12) and the reference electrode (13), in other words the electrochemical potential of the measuring electrode (12), is substantially constant, whereby the current intensity corresponding to said potential is directly proportional to the activity of said chemicals.</p> |
