In elemental Cl-free (ECF) bleaching, the reinforcement of the E stages
with oxidants, O and H2O2, decreases the demand for ClO2 in
subsequent stages. A final P stage can lower the ClO2 demand,
because much less than the oxidative equiv. amt. of H2O2 is required to
achieve the same final brightness. Brightness stability in accelerated
heat aging is improved with a final P stage. Very high temp. and
pressurized conditions in the P stage cause thermal decompn., which
produces pulp viscosity and yield losses. This applies for both Eop
stages and final P stages. The effects of H2O2 are described in terms
of pulp brightness increase and chem. demands, as well as bleached
pulp viscosity, effluent COD levels, and pulp yield. Optimum stage
conditions are to apply moderate amts. of H2O2 at a temp. level <90*.
Higher temp. results in lower viscosity and higher effluent COD loads.

The gas phase dissocn. dynamics of sym. chlorine dioxide highly
photoexcited into its 2A2 24,0,0 vibronic level has been investigated by
monitoring both the kinetic energy release and the angular distribution
of the O(3P2) products via velocity map imaging. The resulting O(3P2)
kinetic energy profile provides full the vibrational distribution of the
formed ClO(X 2P,v) radicals. The measured O fragment kinetic energy
distribution reflects an unprecedented nonstatistical vibrational state
population of their diat. partners, where the excess energy is focused
only in the three highest possible ClO vibrational levels v=18-20, with
little fragment rotation. The anisotropy of the dissocn. process sheds
new light on the fragmentation dynamics of this stratospherically
relevant triat. mol.

unpaired spin population (SA) and free valency (FA) of a no. of free
radicals have been calcd. by ab initio HF and d. functional (B3LYP)
methods using different schemes of population anal. and basis sets.
Irresp. of the choice of the variants in the methods of calcn. the three
indexes predict identical site for a free radical attack in most cases.
However, since the B3LYP wave functions describe almost pure spin
states, they are preferable to the UHF wave functions which are
appreciably spin contaminated in many cases. The stereoselectivity of
a few simple reactions has been discussed using these indexes. Of
the three quantities, the free valency is found to be most satisfactory.

globulus kraft pulp at a faster rate, and more effectively, at pH 4.0 than
at pH 2.0 or pH 10.0. The findings are consistent with previous
suggestions that the kinetics and stoichiometry of ClO2 delignification
depend on the degree of conversion of ClO2 into inactive chlorate and

As a follow-up to its surveys of 1979 and 1989, the American Water
Works Assocn. Disinfection Systems Committee conducted a survey in
1998 of disinfection practices at large and medium (i.e., those serving
*10,000 people) systems using surface water or groundwater supplies.
Cl2, either as gas or hypochlorite, remained the predominant choice for
primary disinfection. Moderate increases were obsd. in the use of
alternative forms of Cl2, such as chloramines, ClO2, and O3. Based on
the survey results, large and medium systems appear well-prepd. to
meet the new Stage 1 disinfection byproduct requirements; many
appear to be capable of meeting proposed Stage 2 requirements if
they are implemented in their current form. These systems also appear
to be meeting existing Surface Water Treatment Rule (SWTR) and
pending Interim Enhanced SWTR turbidity and disinfection C * T
requirements. But, based on data submitted by only about half of the
respondents, ~10% may have to further enhance treatment to meet

Decreasing the consumption of bleaching chems. by acid treatment of
O-delignified hardwood kraft pulps was investigated. The results
indicated that the decrease in ClO2 requirement was proportional to the
decrease of kappa no. (KN) with acid treatment, in case of ClO2 in the
1st bleaching stage, e.g. in D-E-D sequence. In contrast, the decrease
of Cl was less than that of KN, in case of Cl in the 1st bleaching stage,
e.g. in C-E-H-D sequence. The characteristics of acid-treated pulps
were examd., in order to find out the reason of the difference between
the decrease of ClO2 and that of Cl. The results suggested that the
chromophores were generated, and phenolic OH groups content of
residual lignin was increased, during acid treatment. The acid
treatment of pulps was conducted under pressurized O gas in order to
prevent the generation of chromophores. As a result, the bleachability
of acid-treated pulp was improved.

The integrated disinfection design framework (IDDF) is a new
approach for detg. disinfection requirements for a water treatment
facility. The framework may be applied in place of the procedures in
the US Environmental Protection Agency's Surface Water Treatment
Rule guidance manual. Potential benefits include lower disinfectant
dosages, reduced disinfectant costs, and reduced formation of
disinfection byproducts. The feasibility of the IDDF was presented in
an AWWA Research Foundation-sponsored project completed in
1998. A user-friendly model has been developed based on the original
IDDF concepts; this model allows utility personnel, consultants, and
regulators to det. site-specific disinfection requirements. The model
has four components or modules: (1) hydraulic characteristics, (2)
disinfectant demand-decay, (3) inactivation kinetics, and (4)
disinfection byproduct formation. Implementation of the IDDF at the
Aurora, (Colorado) Water Department is in progress, with a chlorine
dioxide dosage redn. of approx. 15%. Other IDDF implementation
studies have indicated that primary disinfectant dosages can be
reduced by 8-35% with a corresponding redn. in disinfection

The formation of the byproduct chlorite after using ClO2 for the
disinfection of drinking water depends on the quantity of the dissolved
org. matter. A further decisive factor for the chlorite formation is the
level of residual free ClO2. The ClO2 demand decreases by application
of activated C filtration, esp. after the use of a combination of ozone
and activated C treatment of the water. Nevertheless, higher ClO2
residuals are a source of chlorite and chlorate formation. The concept
of the Min. ClO2 Dosage (MCDD) is developed to give a clue to the
water companies for an optimized ClO2 dose without compromising the
disinfection efficiency. In the MCDD, the residual level of ClO2 is
focused to 0.05 mg/L after 0.5 h contact time. In the range of the
MCDD the ratio of the chlorite formation and the ClO2 demand is nearly
independent of the level of DOC.

dosages of ClO2 in each D-stage: in D0-stage the dosages were 15,
25, and 35 kg ClO2 as active Cl per oven-dry ton of metric pulp; in D1
and D2-stages 15, 20, 25, and 7.5, 10, 12.5, resp. In all, 27 bleaching
sequences were tested. In addn., 3 sequences were selected and
re-tested with optimized pH in each ClO2 stage. The results indicated
that full brightness of softwood kraft pulp (>88% ISO) can be achieved
by using the major part of ClO2 in the D0- or D1-stage and by optimizing
the final pH of all D-stages. When the D1-stage emphatic sequence
(15-25-12.5) was used, a final brightness of 87.5% ISO and a total
reagent consumption of 51.6 kg/tp (as kg equiv. Cl per metric ton of
oven-dry pulp) were attained. Correspondingly, with D0-stage emphatic
sequence (25-20-10) the obtained brightness was 88.6% ISO and
reagent consumption 54.0 kg/tp. The highest brightness 88.8% ISO
and highest reagent consumption 54.7 kg/tp were attained with a
strongly D0-stage emphatic sequence, 35-15-7.5. A strongly D0-stage
emphatic sequence also gave the best final viscosity of the pulp.

A new control and measurement strategy for the elemental Cl-free
(ECF) bleaching process was developed and tested in a mill scale.
The successful development of the control system was based on earlier
published lab. results, which clearly indicated that, in ECF bleaching,
the optimum final pH is different in each D stages, and addnl. strongly
dependent on the ClO2 dosage used. The results of long-term mill
experiences showed that, when the brightness and kappa factor
controls are supported by existing pH measurement, the function of
bleaching stages can be controlled more comprehensively than ever
before. This system will give a significant chem. savings and also
behave as a safeguard for the final tech. properties of the produced
pulp.

The implementation of elemental Cl-free (ECF) bleaching significantly
changed the kinetics of the delignification process in pulp bleaching.
With these process changes, the once proven strategies, e.g.
compensated brightness control based on in-line measurements of
pulp brightness and chem. residual, became very inefficient. In addn.,
compensated brightness control, like so many other previous bleach
plant control concepts, was focused only to control the bleaching
conditions in a single bleaching stage. This study is the 1st in a series
to describe modern control solns. for total bleach plant control. A
control soln. installed in a southern US pulp mill, controlling the pulp
delignification in the 1st 2 stages of the bleach plant, D (EOP) stages,
is described. In this control soln., kappa no. is measured continuously
with in-line sensors before the D stage and after the EOP stage.
Continuous kappa no. measurements make it possible to apply exact
bleaching chem. dosages in each bleaching stage, even when the
incoming kappa no. is changing. Also, with the feedback control based
on the 2nd kappa no. measurement, the system maintains kappa no.
after the EOP stage within its optimum range.

Because of global environment concerns, the use of non-woody fiber
resources became a major focus in pulp and paper prodn. The prepn.
of pulps from plant fibers normally requires the use of an autoclave for
the fiberization and delignification processes. A pulping process was
developed, suitable for various non-woody fibers, e.g. Manila hemp,
sisal, jute, and some other non-woody fibers, which can be performed
under atm. pressure. In this process, the well known bleaching agent
ClO2 was used as the main chem. to de-lignify the fibers, without the
use of an autoclave. The cooking conditions were milder than the
methods used in the kraft and sulfite pulping processes, and
subsequently resulted in pulps with higher yields and enhanced phys.
properties.

A study employing lab.-scale bleaching was performed to characterize
the relationship between specific bleach plant parameters and CHCl3
generation from ClO2 bleaching, i.e., elemental Cl-free (ECF)
bleaching. The expts. carried out conformed to a 4-factor/2-level
factorial study design, and the 4 bleach plant parameters studied were
D0-stage final pH, D0-stage kappa factor, ClO2 source, and pulp
source. Results from the factorial study indicated that D0-stage final pH
and ClO2 source both had significant effects on CHCl3 generation in the
lab.-scale bleaches, and that D0-stage final pH and kappa factor
interacted. CHCl3 generation in lab. D0E1-stages increased with
D0-stage final pH over the range from pH 1.9 to 3.5 and, in 3 out of 4
cases, ClO2 contg. 1.7% Cl as a byproduct gave less CHCl3 than was
generated using ClO2 contg. 13% Cl. The interaction between
D0-stage final pH and kappa factor manifested as more CHCl3 being
produced from 0.15 than from 0.30 kappa factor bleaches when
D0-stage final pH was 3.5, whereas 0.30 kappa factor bleaches gave
greater amts. of CHCl3 than 0.15 kappa factor bleaches when D0-stage
final pH was 1.9. The 2 exptl. pulps did not give significantly different
amts. of CHCl3 in these lab.-scale bleaching expts. Overall, D0-stage
final pH was ranked as the factor having the greatest numerical impact
on CHCl3 generation, followed by kappa factor, ClO2 type, then pulp
type. Addnl. expts. confirmed that D-stage carryover can increase
E-stage CHCl3, and the data suggested that approx. 10% carryover of
lab. D0-stage filtrates would have resulted in a 10-40% increase in the
assocd. E1-stage CHCl3 levels.

A review with more than 114 refs. Chlorine dioxide is frequently used
for the disinfection of drinking water and wastewater effluents. Its use is
desired in particular in case of taste and odor problems caused by
chlorine, or when the concn. of undesirable chlorinated byproducts
exceeds their max. allowable concns. The chem. reactions of chlorine
dioxide are much more specific and selective than those of chlorine
and, as a consequence, it has a lower demand by water and does not
produce as many byproducts. However, chlorine dioxide is not an ideal
oxidant either, because it reacts with various inorg. and org. aquatic
compds. to produce a variety of products. The present chapter
summarizes the reactions of ClO2 with the major inorg. compds. or org.
groups which are, or may be, present in water, and describes their
products. Special attention has been paid to the mechanisms of
reactions in order to enable the prediction of reactions and products
not specified in the current chapter. Some toxicol. assessments of
chlorine dioxide disinfection in general, and of some of its byproducts
in particular, are also included.

D/A/D and A/D pre-bleaching stages of an O-bleached kraft pulp were
studied at a high temp. (95*) and compared with a conventional Do
stage at 75*. The initial pH in the D/A/D stage was high (pH 8.5-10.0)
in order to prevent formation of hypochlorous acid (from chlorite ion)
and oxidn. of HexA. The final bleaching was performed with an EoDnD
sequence. The initial pH of the D/A/D sequence was decreased in a
few seconds to a const. level of 5.3-7.0 (depending on initial pH)
indicating a complete disappearance of ClO2. This interpretation was
supported by a simultaneous disappearance of the yellow color of the
bleaching liquor. At this point, the concn. of titrable active Cl was still
high, in accordance with a low reactivity of chlorite ion at high pH.
Liberation of 2-furoic acid during the following acid treatment showed
that little HexA was degraded by the initially charged ClO2. The A/D
pre-bleaching was studied by varying the reaction time after addn. of
ClO2. The shortest reaction time applied (2 min) led to the highest
brightness and viscosity, whereas the kappa no. was slightly
decreased with the longer reaction times. A comparison at 90% ISO
brightness showed that the viscosity of the pulp in the sequences with
the acid treatment was ~65 dm3/kg lower than in the ref. bleaching.
However, there were no differences in yield and strength properties
between the sequences. Savings of ~10 kg ClO2 as active Cl/BDMT
was obtained in the total ClO2 consumption, when D/A/D or A/D
pre-bleaching was used. For a high brightness, it was better to apply a
short retention time at high temp. (95*, 2 min) in the D-stage (A/D)
rather than a longer one at a lower temp. (75*, 60 min). The higher
temp. did not decrease the viscosity of the pulp.

Pre-bleaching a kappa no. 27 softwood kraft pulp with ClO2 was
performed to various end pH levels. During high-pH bleaching, the
majority of bleaching chems. was lost to chlorite formation. The rapid
oxidn. of the phenolic lignin (I) results in the formation of chlorite and
hypochlorous acid (II), but the oxidn. of non-phenolic I at high pH forms
only chlorite. Without the presence of the II formed, because of the
reaction with the non-phenolic I, no more ClO2 is generated to further
react with I and the residual chlorite. At low pH, the reaction of the
non-phenolic I with ClO2 formed both chlorite and II. II further reacted
with chlorite to regenerate ClO2, which further reacted with the I.
Chlorate formation increased with decreasing end pH during ClO2
bleaching. At high pH, chlorate formed through radical quenching by
ClO2. At low pH, chlorate formation resulted from chlorous acid
disproportionation. Increases in chlorate levels are not very significant
at end pH <3.4. The amt. of residual chlorite + chlorate decreases with
end pH until ~3.4. Below end pH 3.4, the quantity of residual chlorite +
chlorate levels out because no residual chlorite remains and residual
chlorate is relatively const. at end pH from 3.4 to 1.8. Brightness and
permanganate no. trends correlate with the amt. of residual chlorite +
chlorate. At a low pH, more reaction with I and II occurs, resulting in the
formation of more org. Cl. When pre-bleaching with ClO2, more
flexibility is allowed with end pH (3.5-1.5), as compared to a D1
bleaching stage where the optimum pH is ~3.5.

Bleaching of kraft pulp consists in delignification and removal of the
residual chromophores. On an industrial scale, delignification is
performed by Cl, ClO2, O, H2O2, O3, and peracetic acid. For all of
these chems., delignification can be described by 1 single global
mechanism, i.e., ring opening of arom. units, which necessitates the
exchange of 4 electrons. This may explain why the same no. of
electrons is exchanged by Cl, ClO2, and O3 for the same kappa no.
decrease. With O, H2O2, and peracetic acid, many more electrons
have to be exchanged, which justifies the search for catalysts. This
anal. gives useful information about the displacement ratio of 1 chem.
by another one. It is also shown that *50% of the bleaching chems. are
wasted in secondary reactions, which apparently do not contribute to
lignin removal.

The authors investigated drinking water from 3 plants in Northern
Moravia with regard to genotoxic effects which are frequently
potentiated by the method of chlorine treatment. Water samples, plain
and treated, were tested by the Ames test and the SOS chromotest. In
both short-term tests, the genotoxicity of drinking water was confirmed
whereby after disinfection by chlorine treatment the genotoxic potential
of water samples increased. On comparison of drinking water treated
with gaseous chlorine and chlorine dioxide the latter had more
favorable parameters from the genotoxic aspect.

Hematol. effects of chlorine dioxide (ClO2) and its metabolites were
investigated. In vitro exposure of mouse, rat, and human blood cells to
ClO2 and the redn. byproduct, chlorite (ClO2-) resulted in the formation
of metHb, a decrease in the activities of glucose-6-phosphate
dehydrogenase (G-6-PD), and glutathione peroxidase (GPX) and in the
content of reduced glutathione (GSH), and an increase in hydrogen
peroxide (H2O2) formation, and hemolysis. The H2O2 formation and
hemolysis induced by ClO2 and ClO2- in mouse blood cells were the
highest among cells tested, and human blood cells were more resistant
to the oxidative stress than rat and mouse blood cells. Both compds.
also showed more toxic responses to E. coli mutants lacking formation
of catalase DSH19 (katEG), superoxide dismutase DSH56 (sodAB)
and both of them DSH67 (katEG sodAB) than the wild strain DSH7 by
Kat-sod assay, as a biol. detection method for reactive oxygen
species, suggesting the formation of H2O2 and superoxide anion. For
subchronic study of ClO2, mice received drinking water contg. 100,
1000, 1500, or 2000 mg/L ClO2 in the presence of the stabilizer, 1200
mg/L of sodium bicarbonate ad libitum for 30, 60 or 90 days.
Statistically significant hematol. changes were obsd. in animals
exposed to more than 1000 mg/L ClO2, which showed augmented
G-6-PD activity in erythrocytes and increased resistance to hemolysis
in hypotonic soln. The results of this study therefore indicate that ClO2
acutely causes hematotoxicity toward mice by producing reactive
oxygen species and by weakening the protection systems to oxidative
stress in erythrocytes, although the latter may be induced by long term
exposure, while humans appear to be more resistant to this
hematotoxicity.

Aerobic biodegradability of effluents from different Eucalyptus kraft pulp
bleaching processes was studied. Bleaching effluents were obtained
from: (i) Chlorine Bleaching (CB) processes, with partial substitution of
chlorine by chlorine dioxide and (ii) Total Chlorine Free (TCF)
processes. The overall biodegradability, in terms of COD was higher
for TCF effluents (96-98%) than for CB ones (82-93%). Taking into
account the higher org. load of CB effluents, this fact implied a much
higher residual COD for them (100-180 mg/L) than for TCF effluents
(10-30 mg/L). Furthermore, a refractory fraction of mol. wt. higher than
43,000 Da was found in CB effluent, which implied the necessity of a
further specific treatment. The toxicity was completely removed after
the biol. treatment.
