Abstract: A method for the manufacture of bleached cellulose pulp, in conjunction with which lignocellulose material is digested to form cellulose pulp by means of an alkaline digestion liquor, and the cellulose pulp in the form of a suspension is screened, if necessary, and subjected in series to at least oxygen gas delignification/bleaching (O), if required, chlorine dioxide bleaching (D) and bleaching with non chlorine-containing, oxidative bleaching agent (O, P, Z), with the various bleaching stages interspersed with washing and/or reconcentration of the cellulose pulp in at least one stage, characterized in that complexing agents are added to the cellulose pulp in conjunction with the chlorine dioxide bleaching. It is also important for the mol quotient of the cellulose pulp for magnesium/manganese, during bleaching with a non chlorine-containing, oxidative bleaching agent, to be maintained at or brought to a value exceeding 20, and preferably exceeding 40.

Abstract: A method for the manufacture of non-chlorine bleached pulp, from alkaline digested cellulose pulp, wherein a suspension of the cellulose pulp is subjected to a series to oxygen gas delignification (O), treatment with complexers (Q) and bleaching with non chlorine-containing oxidative bleaching agents (O,P,Z). The various treatment stages interspersed with washing and/or reconcentration of the cellulose pulp in at least one stage, in conjunction with which a suspension liquid is conveyed essentially in strict counter-current, with the result that the pulp manufacturing process is essentially totally closed with regard to the liquid circuit.

Abstract: When producing green liquor for later manufacture of cooking liquor, it is endeavoured that the green liquor shall be readily clarified and/or readily filtered. This endeavour is achieved with the present invention, which relates to a method of producing green liquor in which waste liquor separated from cellulose pulp and derived from a cooking stage and possibly from one or more bleaching stages is worked up including known treatment stages such as evaporation, combustion, smelt dissolving and other green liquor preparation, and in which a calcium containing chemical is added to the waste liquor prior to combustion, or is added at the combustion of the waste liquor. The method is characterized in that carbon deriving from the smelt is caused to equal at most 0.
