Process for bleaching of lignocellulose-containing pulp.

摘要

The present invention relates to a process for bleaching of lignocellulose-containing pulp, in which the pulp is treated at a pH between about 1 and about 7 in the presence of a magnesium compound, whereupon the pulp is washed and subsequently bleached with a peroxide-containing compound. The initial treatment removes from the pulp those trace metal ions that have a negative effect on the subsequent bleaching with a peroxide-containing compound. Owing to the presence of magnesium ions in dissolved form during the initial treatment, the magnesium ions are retained in those positions in the pulp where they have a particularly positive effect on the effectiveness of the bleaching stage.
