  • Patent number: 8900408
    Abstract: Provided is a process for producing bleached pulp, including subjecting unbleached pulp, which is obtained by cooking a lignocellulose substance, to alkali-oxygen bleaching treatment and then subjecting the alkali-oxygen bleached pulp to chlorine-free bleaching treatment including chlorine dioxide treatment, wherein in at least one chlorine dioxide treatment stage in which the chlorine dioxide treatment is performed, monopersulfuric acid is used in combination. The amount of chlorine dioxide to be used is reduced and the color reversion resistance of the bleached pulp is improved by this process.

  • Patent number: 8864942
    Abstract: A method for producing bleached pulp, including processing unbleached pulp obtained by cooking a lignocellulose substance, followed by treatment with peroxomonosulfuric acid and thereafter by multistage chlorine-free bleaching treatment starting from chlorine dioxide treatment; a method for producing bleached pulp, including processing unbleached pulp for alkali-oxygen bleaching followed by chlorine-free bleaching treatment or totally chlorine-free bleaching treatment to bleach it to a degree of brightness of from 70 to 89%, and further followed by treatment with peroxomonosulfuric acid; and paper produced by the use of the bleached pulp produced according to these production methods, at a papermaking pH of at most 6.

  • Patent number: 6432266
    Abstract: A process for bleaching chemical pulp for paper manufacturing comprising delignifying and bleaching chemical pulp which has been treated by cooking by simultaneous use of chlorine dioxide, a peroxide, and at least one reaction catalyst selected from the group consisting of oxoacids of elements of Groups IV, V and VI and salts of these acids. Formation of organic chlorine compounds as by-products is suppressed by decreasing the amount of chlorine dioxide used in the ECF bleaching process in the first stage, and thus environmental toxicity in the waste water discharged from the bleaching process is decreased. Chemical pulp having a high degree of brightness is economically produced because increase in the production capacity is not required at all or suppressed to the minimum, and the investment cost is reduced to the minimum when the bleaching with chlorine in the first stage is converted into the bleaching with chlorine dioxide which is an ECF bleaching process.
