Abstract: An effluent produced in oxidation of a cellulosic material with an oxidizing agent in the presence of an N-oxyl compound and a bromide and/or iodide is deionized by electrodialysis to an inorganic salt concentration of less than 0.4%, whereby the N-oxyl compound in the effluent is concentrated and recovered. The N-oxyl compound thus recovered can be reused in oxidation of a cellulosic material. Preferably, the effluent is subjected to reduction treatment and ion exchange resin treatment prior to the electrodialysis.
