6.2 Bleaching with Hydrogen Peroxide

silicate solutions favors the precipitation of silicates (silicic acid sols), and this can

lead to the removal of potential decomposing compounds. Because such precipitation

can cause problems with scaling, the amounts of silicate added are typically

adjusted to lower levels. Despite these difficulties, the advantage of silicate addition

normally keeps this product in the mill’s receipt. A clear example of the benefit

Is shown in Fig. 6.5, where silicate addition leads to a higher brightness and a

wider maximum. In the presence of silicate, the receipt for composition of the

chemicals tolerates deviations more easily. The standard addition of silicate is

around 2%, calculated as commercial solution with 38–40 Bй density. Silicate solutions

with a higher alkalinity have a lower average molecular weight for the silicic

acid polymer, and this permits a lower level of addition, with identical effects.

The amount of caustic soda applied correlates directly with the effluent load

[35]. Taking the data from Fig. 6.2 and plotting the input of caustic soda against

the resulting COD load, the points in the graph show the linear dependency

(Fig. 6.6). This applies not only to the COD but in parallel to total organic carbon

(TOC). Because the amount of dissolved compounds must correlate with the pulp

yield, bleaching to a very high brightness decreases the yield. Fines are extracted

and freeness is increased. The extraction effect not only affects pulp yield and opacity,

but also has an impact on fiber properties. With intense extraction, hardwood

fibers collapse, making it difficult to produce highly bleached fiber with a high

Volume (bulk). For most paper-grade applications, fiber volume should be low in

order to allow a smooth surface. In the production of white board, the opposite is

Valid and stiff fibers with a high volume are an advantage; however, this requires

to carry out bleaching with other alkali sources.

The substitution of caustic soda with magnesium hydroxide is a useful alternative

[36], although because of the limited solubility of Mg(OH)2, effective mixing

becomes even more important. The particle size is similarly important, as a fine

product is distributed better. The amount of Mg(OH)2 can be kept low; the limited

solubility would only result in a high neutralization demand. It is sufficient to add

about 1–1.2% to activate the bleaching process with 2–4% H2O2. The demand for

sodium silicate is even lower, and an input of only 0.5–1% will result in the best

response. The moderate impact on hemicellulose extract becomes apparent with a

lower COD load (see Fig. 6.7).
