METHOD FOR ADJUSTING THE CHLORINE EQUILIBRIUM IN A SULPHATE CELLULOSE PROCESS

摘要

A method for adjusting the chlorine equilibrium in a sulphate cellulose process, wherein part of the chlorine contained in the cycle is separated and removed. In the method, strong odour gases from the sulphate cellulose process are introduced into a soda recovery boiler for burning so that chlorine contained in the liquor is in the form of hydrogen chloride (HCl) in the upper part of the soda recovery boiler and can subsequently be separated from the flue gases in a flue gas scrubber. The chlorine equilibrium is adjusted by removing part of the chlorine-containing washing solution.
