The process comprise (1) bleaching the pulp with ClO2(g) at acidic pH
and pulp concn. 25-45%, (2) dilg. the pulp to a concn. of 8-16% and
adjusting the pH to the alk. range of *6, and (3) acidifying the pulp, and
bleaching the pulp at a concn. of 8-16% with ClO2 soln. This method is
more effective than bleaching at medium or high concn. only, and is
esp. suitable for bleaching O-delignified pulp.

The transformation function, developed for oxygen delignification of
kraft pulps, can be also used to characterize chlorine dioxide
delignification. The transformation function can be applied to different
types of kraft pulp treated under well-mixed conditions at different pulp
stock consistencies. Simulations of the obtained transformation
functions show clearly the effect of stock consistency on the
delignification rate. At low temp. there are marked differences in
delignification rate between high and low consistencies. However
these differences diminish when the temp. is increased to about
100癈.

Dispersed laser-induced fluorescence of the A 2A2 X 2B1 transition of
OClO in solid Ne in the spectral range 500-770 nm was recorded when
the origin at 20,991 cm-1 was excited. Progressions with spacings
near 939 and 446 cm-1 are assocd. with vibrational modes n1 and n2 of
the X state. A simultaneous fit of both modes yields w1''=957.1 * 1.4,
w2''=452.6 * 0.4, x11''=4.47 * 0.04, x22''=0.54 * 0.05, and x12''=4.00 *
0.05 cm-1. When the 101 line of the A-X system at 21,699 cm-1 was
excited, vibrationally unrelaxed emission was obsd. in the spectral
region 480-600 nm. Excitation of the 201 line at 21,284 cm-1 generated
weak vibrationally unrelaxed progressions. The visible absorption
spectrum of OClO in solid Ne in the region 415-488 nm was recorded
with a Fourier-transform spectrometer, yielding n00=20,991.3,
n1'=707.9, n2'=292.5, and 2n3'=887.6 cm-1 for the A state. Simultaneous
fits considering either only n1 and n2 modes or all 3 modes yield
corresponding spectral parameters. Similar expts. were performed
with OClO in solid Ar and Kr. Pronounced increases in n1' (716.0 cm-1
in Ar and 712.5 cm-1 in Kr) and n2' (302.3 cm-1 in Ar and 303.0 cm-1 in
Kr) and a decrease in n00 (188 cm-1 and 331 cm-1 red shifted, resp.)
from that in the gas phase indicate substantial perturbation of the A
state in solid Ar and Kr. An absorption continuum underlying the A-X
system is attributed to absorption to the 1 2A1 state above the
predissocn. barrier. The phonon interaction increases and the
threshold of the continuum decreases as the matrix host is altered from
Ne to Ar to Kr.

The reaction between thiosulfate and chlorine dioxide in slightly alk.
medium has been studied by stopped-flow techniques. The reaction
cannot be studied under pseudo-first-order condition, thus a new
approach based on the improved calibration and use of stopped-flow
spectrophotometers was applied. The reaction starts with irreversible
formation of 稴2O3ClO22- radical. The main path of the reaction
produces tetrathionate and chlorite through the formation of light
absorbing tetrathionate radical (稴4O63-). Any of the reactant present in
excess slightly modifies the 1:1 stoichiometry, and sulfate as well as
chloride ions are also formed. A detailed mechanism based on a
rigorous simultaneous fitting of the exptl. data is proposed.

Zenith sky observations of O3, NO2, OClO and BrO are reported, which
were performed at Kiruna (67.9'N, 21.2癊) within the SESAME winters
1993/1994 and 1994/95. For both winters large total amts. of OClO
were obsd. inside the polar vortex at twilight, indicating the degree and
the temporal variation of the halogen activation of the polar
stratosphere. Occasionally, OClO could also be obsd. outside the
polar vortex, most likely due to export of halogen activated vortex air
masses into the ambient stratosphere. BrO could also be detected in
winter 1994/95, with the largest slant column amts. (5.1014/cm2)
occurring in the polar vortex in mid-winter. Similar abundances of
stratospheric BrO were obsd. at dusk and dawn, for both, air masses
inside and outside the vortex. This observation is in reasonable
agreement with previous studies on stratospheric BrO (observations
and models) of Wahner et al. (1992), Arpag et al. (1994), Krug et al.

A rotor shaft mounted for rotation at 1 end extends axially through an
interior cylinder defined by a housing. A flow of medium-consistency
stock is introduced axially to the cylinder, while a chem. inlet supplies
bleaching chems. axially to a rotor mounted on the shaft. The head of
the rotor has turbine passages, which accelerate the impinging
bleaching chems. along radial lines to be distributed across the whole
aperture of the cylinder. Tapered vanes extend from the rotor adjacent
to the rotor head and create circulating vortexes which mix the bleach
chems. with the pulp. As the tapered vanes extend radially towards the
cylindrical walls of the cylindrical housing, the vortexes extend to the
housing walls. The finely mixed bleaching chems. and pulp are then
forced through a foraminous cylinder, which separates the interior of the
cylindrical housing from an outlet volute by vanes, which extend to near
engagement with the foraminous cylinder. The foraminous cylinder has
a porosity of ~10%, the holes (10) formed in the foraminous being on
the order of 1 in. in diam. The shear produced between by the radial
vanes fluidizes the pulp and completely mixes the bleach chems. and
the pulp.

Spin-trapping ESR spectroscopy was used to demonstrate that Cl
radicals (Cl*) were formed in conditions simulating ClO2 bleaching, in
presence of Fe cations. Cl* radicals most probably originate from
reaction of Fe2+/Fe3+ with HClO2 and with Cl2OH, equally produced
when ClO2 reacts with a phenolic unit. Adding Fe2+/Fe3+ in a D
bleaching stage of a softwood kraft pulp had a detrimental effect on
both pulp viscosity and delignification. At the same time AOX and
chlorate formation were increased. These effects were in accordance
with the proposed mechanism for the formation of Cl* and showed that
Fe might be potentially harmful, if in a sufficient quantity in pulp or
process water.

The effect of feed pH on the condensate and conc. quality upon evapn.
of acidic effluents from elemental Cl-free (ECF) bleaching, was
investigated, in view of the re-usability of the condensates in the final
ClO2 stage of the bleaching process. The expts. were carried out
under lab. conditions. The results indicated that it is advantageous to
neutralize the feed pH of the Do and Q effluents before evapn.
Neutralization of the feed essentially prevents the transfer of inorg. and
org. compds. into the condensate during evapn. Further addn. of alkali
had no clear pos. addnl. effect on condensate's quality. Neg. impacts
can also be partly avoided by evapg. acidic effluents only up to a 30%
level of total solids of the conc. In the conc., the main ppt. compd. in the
very acidic condition was CaSO4. When the pH of the concs. was
increased, the predominant compds. were Ca oxalate hydrates,
whereas at higher total solids, the Na compds. Na2SO4 and NaCl were
dominant. The quality of the condensates was good enough for re-use
in the final ClO2 stage of the ECF bleaching process. No appreciable
effects on pulp quality or chem. consumption in the final D stage were
obsd.

U.S. EPA's 1993 proposal to revise effluent limitations guidelines for
the pulp and paper industry sparked a significant industry-sponsored
effort to increase the amt. of data describing the characteristics of
effluents discharged by kraft mills using complete ClO2 substitution
bleaching, and a summary of these data are presented. Data
comparable to the proposed effluent guidelines limitations show that
complete substitution bleaching effluents do not normally contain
measurable levels of 2,3,7,8-TCDD and rarely contain measurable
levels of 2,3,7,8-TCDF or highly substituted chlorinated phenolic
compds. CHCl3 levels measured in bleaching effluents range from
0.16 to 4.8 g/ton and represent only a fraction of the total CHCl3
generated during bleaching. Available data describing the levels of
AOX and COD in biol. treated effluents suggest that the use of
extended and(or) O delignification can decrease effluent loads for
these parameters.

ion-ion coincidence techniques coupled with time-of-flight mass
spectrometry. The coincidence spectra show that OClO2+ dissocs. to
form the following pairs of ions: O++ClO+ and O++Cl+. Interpretation of
the coincidence spectra suggests that there is a multiple kinetic energy
release upon dicationic dissocn. to form the O++Cl+ ion pair, and also
yields a detn. of the excitation energy required to form the lowest
energy dication electronic states which dissoc. to form O++ClO+ and
O++Cl+. The similarity of these excitation energies indicate that these

The extractable org. material in hardwood pulps bleached with ClO2
was characterized with respect to quantity, Cl content, lipophilicity, and
compn. Acetone-extractable content ranged from 450-3400 mg/kg o.d.
pulp, which was 25-30% lower than for the unbleached pulp. Approx.
65% of the acetone-extractable material was sol. in heptane, similar to
that of the ext. from unbleached pulp. Total Cl content of the bleached
pulp ranged from 243-425 mg/kg, an av. of 70% of which was
non-extractable. Characterization of the heptane-sol. material showed
it contained 1.2-3.8% Cl, and had an av. mol. wt. in the range 370-660
Daltons. Seventy-three to 90% of the heptane-sol. material and
50-76% of the Cl in the heptane-sol. material was highly lipophilic,
having a log Kow > 4.8. A range of long chain fatty acids were
identified in the heptane-sol. material from the bleached eucalyptus
pulp. A similar series of fatty acids and b-sitosterol were present in the

A pulp is prepd., and subjected to *1 bleaching step by the addn. of an
oxidizing bleaching agent. After the bleaching, liq. is removed from the
pulp while obtaining a residue liq. and at least a part flow of the residue
liq. obtained is conveyed back to the pulp stream via a transport
conduit by means of a pump device. The part flow of the residue liq. is
treated by oxygen by the supply of oxygen to the part flow downstream
of the pump device. This method provides a less environmentally
harmful residue liq. which is more appropriate for being utilized during
the treatment of cellulose fibers.

A review and discussion with 11 refs. A science advisory panel
reviewed studies published since 1993 to assess the ecol. risks
assocd. with final effluents from pulp mills using 100% ClO2 in
bleaching processes (often referred to as elemental chlorine free, or
ECF mills). The panel addressed two major questions: (i) What are the
risks to aquatic organisms and ecosystems due to the release of final
effluent from ECF pulp mills, including all contributing factors in the
process stream and (ii) What are the specific risks, if any, contributed
by the use of ClO2 as opposed to other mill processes. All available
data indicate that chlorinated compds. in effluents from ECF bleaching
have a much lower degree of chlorine substitution than those produced
during bleaching with Cl2, and are therefore generally less persistent
and bioaccumulative. A screening level, or - where merited -
probabilistic risk assessment of chlorinated compds. in ECF mill final
indicated a negligible risk to aquatic organisms. With regard to the
broader, first question, it is becoming increasingly clear that there are
non-chlorinated substances, which are unmodified or slightly modified
wood extractives released primarily during pulping, that appear to
induce biochem. responses and changes in reproductive parameters in
some fish species in the receiving environments for some pulp mills.
These substances are produced by a variety of pulp extn. and
bleaching technologies, and also occur naturally; e.g., retene and other
resin acids, b-sitosterol and other plant steroid, and/or various polar,
lignin-derived substances. A quant. risk assessment of these compds.
is not yet possible, owing to the current lack of knowledge-of concns. in
final effluent and the receiving environment, toxicol. dose-response
relationships, and ecol. relevance of the biochem. and physiol. changes
that have been measured. In general, significant environmental gains
have come from 100% ClO2 substitution and the widespread adoption
of efficient secondary treatment.

In order to comply with new regulations regarding disinfection
byproducts, it is necessary to review the treatment stages for supplies
with high disinfection byproduct formation potential. This is the case
with the water the Llobregat River, which supplies Barcelona (Spain),
and which has a high potential for the formation of trihalomethane and
bromate. Using comparative parallel studies between the present
treatment process, with stages of prechlorination and intermediate
ozonization and others carried out in a pilot plant, it is intended to det.
which is the most suitable treatment to substitute the break-point
prechlorination at present responsible for the generation of high levels
of trihalomethanes (THM). All the processes tested, without
prechlorination, chlorination below the break point (4 mg/L), addn. of K
permanganate (1 mg/L) and the addn. of ClO2 (0.5 mg/L) are based on
the biol. elimination of ammonia from the raw water. Of all these
processes, pretreatment with ClO2 was the one which achieved the
best results with respect to the formation of trihalomethanes and
bromate, enabling the values set by the proposed new European Union
Directive to be met.

Chlorine dioxide is widely recognized for its advantages in the
oxidative treatment of drinking water with respect to pre-oxidn. of
trihalomethane (THM)-forming precursors and metals such as iron and
manganese; disinfection of common waterborne pathogens such as
Giardia and Cryptosporidium; and control of taste, odor, and color by
oxidn. of phenolic compds. Because chlorine dioxide does not form
chlorinated org. species as a disinfection byproduct, finished water
treated with chlorine dioxide generally exhibits substantially lower THM
levels than waters receiving treatment with chlorine solns. Treatment
with chlorine dioxide allows many utilities to consistently and effectively
meet the primary max. contaminant level (PMCL) of 0.10 mg/L for
THMs currently mandated by state and federal drinking water
regulations. Since the early 1940皊, chlorine dioxide for drinking water
treatment has been produced by conventional wet chem. methods, all
of which employ the reaction of aq. sodium chlorite (NaClO2) with
chlorine or acid to produce a chlorine dioxide-contg. soln. Newly
available technol. employs a controlled reaction of specially-processed
solid sodium chlorite with a dil. chlorine-gas blend, to produce
chlorine-free (1 percent free chlorine [Cl2]) chlorine dioxide gas. The
process effectively eliminates formation of ClO- and ClO3-, which are
often produced by traditional ClO2 generation systems or carried
through such systems as a result of poor generation efficiency. The 15
million gal/day Spring Hollow water treatment facility, owned and
operated by Roanoke County, Virginia, incorporates a "gas:solid" ClO2
generation system to produce chlorine dioxide for the pre-oxidn. and
pre-disinfection of raw water prior to prodn. of potable drinking water.
This is the first full-scale application of the gas:solid technol. for
generation of chlorine dioxide in the world. The technol. provides
flow-pacing control of the ClO2 feed rate without requiring storage of
either chlorine dioxide gas or soln. Infinite turndown capability of the
ClO2 generation system allows for dosage adjustments required to
meet changing demands or seasonal variations, as well as variable
process flow rates encountered during backwashing of filters.

Chlorine dioxide, free chlorine, and monochloramine were evaluated for
their effect on Cryptosporidium parvum oocysts. Animal infectivity
using neo-natal, CD-1 mice was used to det. viability after disinfection.
Sequential disinfection with chlorine dioxide followed by free chlorine or
monochloramine showed significantly more inactivation of oocysts due
to synergism between the oxidants. A process design approach is
presented that uses a 2-step disinfection concept: primary disinfection
using chlorine dioxide followed by secondary disinfection using free
chlorine or monochloramine. Kinetic models are developed that
adequately describe the C. parvum oocyst inactivation by sequential
application of chlorine dioxide followed by monochloramine, and
sequential application of chlorine dioxide followed by free chlorine.
