H. Martens et al., PERACETIC-ACID IN A COMBINED DELIGNIFICATION STAGE WITH OZONE - FROM LABORATORY STUDIES TO MILL DEMONSTRATION, Paperi ja puu, 80(4), 1998, pp. 271
Peracetic acid was used in mill-scale TCFz bleaching to improve the st
rength properties of softwood kraft pulp. Treating pulp with peracetic
acid after ozone treatment without intermediate washing, improved tea
r strength by 6% at tensile index 70 as well as brightness by 2.1 degr
ees ISO. The build-up of dissolved material in the water circulation s
ystem did not reduce the effectiveness of peracetic acid.
