Abstract: A glue, substantially based on chlorolignin, for gluing cellulose materials such as wood, particle board etc. Chlorolignin, which is a waste product from the cellulose industry, is an environmentally dangerous substance. It is recovered by membrane filtering of waste liquor, separating out compounds with a molecular weight lower than 1000-2000. It is then used alone, or mixed with common synthetic glues such as melamine-formaldehyde resins, fillers, hardeners etc. Formaldehyde, paraldehyde or ammonium chloride are suitable hardeners and the chlorolignin can also be prepolymerized with formaldehyde and/or paraldehyde.

Abstract: A method for cleaning effluents from bleaching plants which use ultrafiltration for cleaning, preferably after the first extraction stage, by dividing the ultrafiltration into two stages, and between them inserting an alkali treatment stage. The high molecular chlorine compounds are thereby split into innocuous sodium chloride in the permeate from the second ultrafiltration stage, which can be returned to the extraction stage so that with the alkali excess after the splitting, it can cover all or part of its alkali requirement.
