This investigation evaluates how higher reaction temperatures or oxidant reinforcement of caustic extraction affects chlorine dioxide consumption during elemental chlorine-free bleaching of North American hardwood pulps. Bleaching data from the published literature were used to develop statistical response surface models for chlorine dioxide delignification and brightening sequences for a variety of hardwood pulps. The effects of higher (EO) temperature and of peroxide reinforcement were estimated from observations reported in the literature. The addition of peroxide to an (EO) stage roughly displaces 0.6 to 1.2 kg chlorine dioxide per kilogram peroxide used in elemental chlorine-free (ECF) bleach sequences. Increasing the (EO) temperature by Δ20°C (e.g., 70°C to 90°C) lowers the overall chlorine dioxide demand by 0.4 to 1.5 kg. Unlike what is observed for ECF softwood bleaching, the presented findings suggest that hot oxidant-reinforced extraction stages result in somewhat higher bleaching costs when compared to milder alkaline extraction stages for hardwoods. The substitution of an (EOP) in place of (EO) resulted in small changes to the overall bleaching cost. The models employed in this study did not take into account pulp bleaching shrinkage (yield loss), to simplify the calculations.

Adsorbable organic halogens (AOX) are formed in pulp bleaching as a result of the reaction of residual lignin with chlorine dioxide. The natural structure of lignin is very complex and it tends to be damaged by various extraction methods. All the factors can affect the study about the mechanism of AOX formation in the reaction of lignin with chlorine dioxide. Lignin model compounds, with certain structures, can be used to study the role of different lignin structures on AOX formation. The effect of lignin structure on AOX formation was determined by reacting phenolic and non-phenolic lignin model compound with a chlorine dioxide solution. Vanillyl alcohol (VA) and veratryl alcohol (VE) were selected for the phenolic and non-phenolic lignin model compound, respectively. The pattern consumption of lignin model compounds suggests that both VA and VE began reacting with chlorine dioxide within 10 min and then gradually steadied. The volume of AOX produced by VE was significantly higher than that produced by VA for a given initial lignin model compound concentration. In a solution containing a combination of VA and VE in chlorine dioxide, VE was the dominant producer of AOX. This result indicates that the non-phenolic lignin structure was more easily chlorinated, while the phenolic lignin structure was mainly oxidized. In addition, AOX content produced in the combined experiments exceeded the total content of the two separate experiments. It suggested that the combination of phenolic and non-phenolic lignin structure can promote AOX formation.

The present investigation meticulously analyzes how oxidative alkaline extraction can be augmented through process changes, and how these augmentations can be leveraged to optimize chlorine dioxide usage with elemental chlorine-free (ECF) sequences for a conventional softwood kraft pulp. Bleaching data from Basta and co-workers (1992 TAPPI Pulping Conference) are re-examined and re-interpreted in this study. We determined that ~60% to 65% of the overall ClO2 charge should be applied in the D0-stage. Peroxide addition to an (EOP) can replace 0.6 to 2.5 Kg. ClO2 per Kg H2O2. Boosting the (EO) temperature to 80°C is equivalent to a 70°C (EOP) with 0.25% to 0.30% H2O2,whereas a 90°C (EO) is equivalent to 0.50% – 0.75% H2O2 in a 70°C (EOP). The stoichiometric bleaching data from this study can guide decision-making for lowering chemical usage and minimize costs to reach target brightness levels with three- and five-stage sequences.

Adsorbable organic halogen (AOX) is mainly produced by the reaction of residual lignin and chlorinated bleaching agents during bleaching processes. The formation of AOX can be reduced via optimization, addition of chemical additives, and/or pretreatment processes. Only a few studies exist on the effective purification of chlorine dioxide solutions and its effect on AOX reduction. In this paper, the effects of the extraction pressure, temperature, pH, and extraction time on the chlorine gas removal rate (CR) were evaluated. In addition, a response surface model was established to optimize the chlorine gas removal. The temperature of chlorine gas separation was optimized at 39.85 °C, with a separation pressure of –51.20 kPa and solution pH of 1.94, providing an estimated CR of 70.93% under the optimum separation conditions. Chlorine dioxide solutions with and without chlorine gas removal were used for pulp bleaching. AOX formation was reduced by 69.57% at the same 2.0% chlorine dioxide dosage, while the pulp brightness decreased by 3.0%ISO. In addition, AOX formation was reduced by 27.90% at the same bleached pulp brightness (80.00%ISO). The results provide theoretical support for the production of high-purity chlorine dioxide solutions and the development of clean pulping and papermaking processes.
