Abstract: Reductive bleaching of lignin containing pulps employing polydentate ligand complexes of dipositive vanadium, chromium and titanium. High brightness pulps with good reversion stability are obtained. The process is essentially polution free as the reduced complexes can be repeatedly regenerated electrochemically.
