<p>A process for bleaching cellulose pulp with molecular oxygen under alkaline conditions and at an elevated temperature in a bleaching zone is disclosed in which oxygen gas is dispersed into an alkaline bleaching solution under an increased pressure, the oxygen-containing, alkaline bleaching solution is heated to at least the elevated bleaching temperature, the pressure of the hot, oxygen-containing, alkaline bleaching solution is lowered to the pressure prevailing in the bleaching zone, and the hot, oxygen-containing, alkaline bleaching solution is brought, in the bleaching zone, into contact with the cellulose pulp to bleach the latter with the oxygen gas released from the bleaching solution.</p> |
