Formerly, wood pulps have been bleached by elementary chlorine at
the first bleaching stage due to mainly its low cost and its high
bleachability. Since the problem of discharge of the Dioxin became hot
in the world, the ECF (Elementary Chlorine Free) bleaching methods
have been developed. And nowadays, many mills in Europe and USA
have introduced ECF method in their facilities. In addn., as the Cluste
Rule proposed by Environmental Protection Agency of USA has
become effective last year, people forecast that all new facilities would
be constructed with ECF method. Ahlstrom Sumijyu KK delivered ECF
facilities to Niigata mill of Hokuetsu Paper mills, Ltd. based on the
technol. of Ahlstrom machinery who is one of our parent companies.
And this plant is the first ECF bleaching system for hard wood pulp in
Japan and it has successfully started up in Mar. 1998. This report will
clarify the advantages of ECF method using ClO2-Oxygen-added
extn.-ClO2-neutralization-ClO2 sequence, with actual data.

Cross sections are reported for total integral and backward scattering
of electrons from chlorine dioxide (OClO) for energies in the range
20-500 meV. The measurements were made in transmission expts.
using a synchrotron radiation photoionization app. with an energy
resoln. in the incident electron beam of ~1.0 meV (FWHM). Integral
and backward scattering cross sections are reported. The present
integral cross-section values are a correction to those reported in an
earlier publication which are too low due to the presence of an impurity
in the original OClO samples. The abs. accuracy of the integral cross
sections is limited by exptl. difficulties with respect to strong rotationally
inelastic forward scattering due to the dipolar nature of the target mols.
Backward scattering data provide good evidence that dissociative
attachment occurs through p-wave attachment. Comparison is made
with predictions of the 1st Born pure dipole approxn. for both total and
backward scattering with excellent agreement >100 meV with integral
scattering data, but showing a significant underestimate for backward
scattering cross sections. Behavior at energies <100 meV represents
competition between inelastic scattering and attachment and is not well

An exptl. device is reported that uses time-correlated nanosecond light
pulses in combination with photoionization mass spectrometry. A
primary light pulse is generated by a tunable dye laser in the UV
regime, which photolyzes neutral gas targets under collision free
conditions. Subsequently, a time-correlated extreme UV-light pulse
comes from a laser-produced plasma that is monochromatized in the
10-25 eV regime. The photolysis products are ionized by 1-photon
absorption, so that the cations are finally detected by time-of-flight
mass spectrometry. The performance of this exptl. approach was
characterized by studying the primary photolysis products of Cl dioxide.
Finally, possible applications of this approach are briefly discussed.

Generally, chem. disinfection is the most convenient, reliable means to
prevent transmission of infectious agents through drinking water;
however, disinfectants such as Cl2 may generate toxic byproducts and
have difficulty inactivating encysted pathogenic protozoa. In view of the
need for safer, more effective Cl2 substitutes, the ability of ClO2 to
inactivate prototypical water-borne bacteria, viruses, and protozoa
using USEPA guidelines for testing water purifiers, was studied. Test
bacteria (Klebsiella terrigena, ATCC 33257; Salmonella choleraesuis,
ATCC 10708; Escherichia coli, ATCC 11229; Legionella pneumophila,
ATCC 33153), viruses (Poliovirus type 1, ATCC VR-59; Rotavirus
SA-11, ATCC VR-899), and protozoa (Cryptosporidium parvum
oocysts from US Department of Agriculture, Beltsville, Maryland, and
Giardia muris cysts from Oregon Health Sciences University) were
suspended in USEPA water. Bacteria and virus viability was detd.
using std. in-vitro assays; neonatal mice were used to assay cyst and
oocyst viability. CLO2 exposure at a final concn. of 2 ppm in water for
10 min at pH 7, 9, and 4, and at 1*, 20*, and 5*, was effective in
producing a >6-log redn. in the titer of all bacterial strains tested.
Similar treatments of rotavirus and poliovirus produced a >4-log redn.
in titer at pH 7 and 9. Protozoa were tested only in water at pH 7, which
was exposed to either 3 or 4 ppm ClO2 for 30-min; treatment at both
CLO2 concns. totally abolished infectivity of the 2 protozoa by >3-log.
ClO2 was highly effective in inactivating representatives of bacteria,
viruses, and protozoa known to spread through exposure to polluted
waters. In addn. to its relatively fast, broad-spectrum germicidal
activity, ClO2 is less prone to generating toxic disinfection byproducts
and, like Cl2, can maintain a disinfectant residual in treated water. In
view of this, further work is needed to examine its use in municipal
water treatment and for disinfection of hospital, veterinary settings, and
food industry water.

Various seafoods were treated with fresh chlorine dioxide (ClO2) solns.
(20, 40, 100, and 200 ppm total available ClO2) in 3.5% brine for 5 min,
and bacterial loads and sensory quality were evaluated after 0, 3, and 7
days storage on ice. The ClO2 treated groups at each time period had
lower bacterial counts than non-treated and brine-treated groups. The
differences in bacterial counts were significant, esp. for groups treated
with 100 and 200 ppm ClO2. Treated ClO2 solns. contained very low or
no bacterial loads. Treated red grouper and salmon with 100 or 200

Over the last decade, chlorine dioxide has been increasingly used for
disinfecting drinking water in many countries. A guarantee for the
protection of the consumer is the presence of a sufficient residual
concn. of the bactericidal reagent in drinking water. Thus it is important
to det. exactly and accurately the levels of chlorine dioxide at the tap.
During water treatment and subsequent distribution, chlorine dioxide
can undergo a variety of redn. and disproportionation reactions
producing primarily chloride but also chlorite and chlorate, which have
been shown to cause hemolytic anemia. Reliable anal. methods are
needed to identify and det. levels of chlorine dioxide, chlorite and
chlorate in drinking water. A procedure based on the use of indigo
carmine for the detn. of each species in natural waters is suggested in
this paper. In phosphate buffer (pH 6.8), two moles of chlorine dioxide
oxidize one mole of indigo carmine. The concn. of the bactericidal
reagent can be detd. by measuring the difference in absorbance of the
dye at 610 nm before and after reaction with chlorine dioxide. This
method is selective as chlorite and chlorate do not react with indigo
carmine in phosphate buffer at pH 6.8. Although the
spectrophotometric method can be successfully used at levels of
chlorine dioxide down to 30 mg/L, the detn. of lower levels in tap water
requires a more sensitive method such as an electrochem. stripping
procedure. This anal. is based on the measurement of the decrease in
the indigo carmine signal after addn. of chlorine dioxide. The detection
limit is around 1 mg/L. At pH = 2, one mole of indigo carmine reduces
one mole of chlorite. Thus the chlorite concn. can be detd. by
measuring the indigo carmine absorbance at pH = 2. At pH = 0, indigo
carmine reacts with both chlorite and chlorate. A measurement at pH =
0 allows chlorate concns. to be detd. since the decrease in absorbance
due to the presence of chlorite can be calcd. The stability of indigo
carmine absorbance has been studied. An indigo carmine soln. prepd.
in phosphate buffer is stable over several days if kept in light-proof
bottles. It is not surprising that the presence of chlorite and chlorate
does not lead to a change in absorbance as they do not react with the
dye at pH = 6.8. A slight decrease in absorbance of an indigo carmine
soln. contg. chlorine dioxide is obsd. after about twenty hours. This
means that the chlorine dioxide concn. has to be detd. in the first hours,
which follow the addn. of the dye to the sample in order to avoid errors.
Interferences can arise from other residual oxidants, which may also be
used in water treatment, or from substances present in the sample,
which may react with indigo carmine, chlorite and chlorate.
Accordingly, we have considered the influence of humic substances,
ozone and hypochlorite. The absorbance of indigo carmine at pH = 2
and at pH = 0 does not change in presence of natural org. matter (1
mg/L). Chlorite and chlorate react with humic substances but the
kinetics are much slower than those of the reactions with indigo
carmine. Errors arising from humic substances in chlorite and chlorate
measurements are thus very weak. Ozone may interfere in analyses,
as it reacts with indigo carmine. However its existence in the
distribution network is unlikely as it also reacts with chlorine dioxide,
which is in excess, and chlorite to give chlorate. Hypochlorite causes
errors in chlorine dioxide, chlorite and chlorate detns. as a result of a
reaction with indigo carmine. In the case of chlorine dioxide detns.,
errors can be eliminated by adding ammonia to the sample before
indigo carmine. Once the validity of the procedures had been proven in
synthetic media, the methods were applied to a natural water, that of
the water distribution network of the city of Brest, France. The results
have been compared with those of other anal. techniques.

The role of ozonization in improving the phys. properties of softwood
thermomech. pulp (TMP) was investigated. Lignin (I) fractions were
extd. from pulp before and after ozonization and characterized by IR,
13C-NMR and GPC. Results showed the influence of the extn. method
on the I structure, with enzymic hydrolysis of the pulp giving a I fraction
richer in etherified units but more contaminated with polysaccharides
than acidolysis. The no. of carboxyl groups formed in I was also
studied, since this parameter can be correlated with pulp mech.
properties. ClO2 treatment of TMP, as compared to ozonization,
resulted in an increase of COOR(H) groups and the formation of
muconic structures clearly identified on NMR spectra.

The aim of the study was to investigate whether measurement of nitric
oxide in exhaled air could be used for assessing the effects of irritants
on the respiratory system, in this case recurrent ozone gassing in an
occupational setting. The study population comprised bleachery
workers (n=56) from a Swedish pulpmill carrying out ozone-based pulp
bleaching since 1992 and controls (n=39). Both groups were
investigated by measuring NO in exhaled air, methacholine challenge
test, and answers to a questionnaire concerning the history of
respiratory symptoms and accidental exposure to ozone peaks. There
was no significant difference in NO output between exposed subjects
and controls (median 67.2 vs. 55.0 nL譵in-1, p=0.64). However, among
bleachery workers reporting ozone gassings, the median NO output
was 90.0 nL譵in-1 compared to 58.8 nL譵in-1 among those not
reporting such incidents (p=0.019). There was no relation between
exhaled NO and the prevalence of respiratory symptoms or bronchial
hyperresponsiveness. In a multiple regression model, only reported
ozone gassings were assocd. (p=0.016) with NO output. The results
indicate an assocn. between previous response to ozone gassing and
nitric oxide output. The increased nitric oxide output among the
bleachery workers reporting peak ozone exposure may indicate that
chronic airway inflammation is present. Further studies are needed to
evaluate the extent to which nitric oxide can be used for biol. monitoring
of respiratory health effects, and to relate it to other markers of airway
inflammation.

effective, although it cannot be termed as an ECF sequence,. E(OP)
extn. is not necessary for bagasse pulp as E(P) or E(O) serve the same

is most effective in COD decreasing, whereas E(P) is most effective in

suggested. The sulfur analogs were also examd. A unified model for
these chem. diverse species is presented based on the interaction
between O2 and X鬃譞 fragments. The correlation between their
electronic structures is outlined. The antibonding nature of the
interaction between the halogen lone pairs and the p electrons of the
O2 fragments causes lengthening and weakening of the
halogen-oxygen bonds. The electronegativity of X and X' dets. the
extent and direction of the electron transfer between the O2 and X鬃譞
fragments. The O-O bond order is thus sensitive to the nature of the
substituents and the multiple bond character decreases steadily as the
electronegativity of X and X' decreases. The O-O bond strengths,
though, are also affected by steric interactions between the halogen
'lone pairs'. The O-O bonds in the HO-OX' species are thus much
stronger than the bond orders and lengths suggest.

In this work, the efficiency and the applicability of some disinfection
systems for biol. treated wastewater were studied. The following
disinfection processes were considered: peracetic acid (PAA),
chlorine dioxide, ozone, UV light. These treatments were chosen as an
alternative to chlorination. Their applicability was investigated
considering both the removal efficiency of microorganisms and the
qual. changes in the treated effluent (e.g. presence of disinfectant
residues, disinfection byproducts, etc.). The different processes were
tested by means of pilot scale plants working in parallel; in fact they
were fed with the same wastewater (secondary effluent of a municipal
wastewater treatment plant). Finally, an economical anal. was carried
out.

Lignin, Paper, and Other Wood Products)
A wide range of kraft pulps from radiata pine was assessed for
hexenuronic acid (I) content using the acid hydrolysis/UV method
developed by Vuorinen. I contents were variable and depended on
whether pulping was performed in the lab. or mill, used continuous or
batch systems, or followed conventional or modified procedures. High
alkali concn. during pulping was probably the main factor leading to low
I levels in the final pulp. For each 10 mmol/kg of I in radiata pine kraft
pulp, kappa no. was increased by about 0.9 units. Removal of this
kappa no. contribution from I by hydrolytic pretreatment resulted in
proportional savings in subsequent ClO2 bleach chem. It was also
shown that bleaching with ClO2 was very effective at destroying I
groups, esp. at active Cl multiples of >0.20. A modification to the
Vuorinen UV method was developed to measure the low levels of I in
ClO2-bleached pulps. Overall, the content and response of I in radiata
pine pulps were similar to those reported for kraft pulps from Northern
Hemisphere softwoods.
