Bleaching Technology for Chemical and Mechanical Pulps
Pulp bleaching technology has changed rapidly in recent years, in response not only to environmental pressures against chlorine use, but also to concerns over economics, corrosion control, operator safety, and overall efficiency. Bleaching Technology examines the developments with mill-based reports highlighting successes and setbacks in design, operations, cost, and performance. Six sections cover: (1) environmental impact; (2) engineering considerations; (3) oxygens, peroxygens, and ozone; (4) case studies of six worldwide bleach plant modernization/expansion projects; (5) new bleaching technologies; (6) bleaching of mechanical and recycled pulps.
