Lyocell fibers have a high hemicellulose content, a low lignin content
and including cellulose that has a low av. d.p. (200-1100). The lyocell
fibers have enhanced dye-binding properties and a reduced tendency
to fibrillate. Bleached Kraft softwood pulp was treated (e.g. acid,
steam, alk. chlorine dioxide, transition metal and peracid, or ferrous
sulfate and H2O2) to reduce d.p. and treated to reduce Cu no. (<2.0),

The rate consts. of oxidn. of phenol and the cresol isomers to phenoxyl
or methylphenoxyl radicals by inorg. radicals (R) were studied in aq.
solns. at pH = 5.8 and 11.5 using pulse radiolysis. The oxidn. was due
to electron transfer. Using the Marcus theory the electron transfer data
were evaluated on the basis of the energy difference, DE, between the
one-electron redn. potential of the inorg. couple and the mid-point
potential of the half-cell of the phenoxyl/phenolate(phenol) couple. The
std. redn. potentials of (o-CH3C6H4O*/o-CH3C6H4O-) and
(m-CH3C6H4O*/m-CH3C6H4O-) couples (vs. NHE) were detd. as 760

limited when DE * 500 mV independently of the inorg. radical, type of
phenol or pH. Between 0 * DE * 500 mV the rate consts. showed
good correlation with DE. The rate consts. were dependent on the
isomeric position of the Me substituent.

During the tech. important combustion of SiCl4 with O [SiCl4(g) + O2(g)
= SiO2(s) + 2 Cl2(g)] many intermediates were detected in the past.
However, the presence of the primary species O:SiCl2 was discussed
controversially until today. With the help of matrix isolation technique
O:SiCl2 was monitored via its IR spectrum. With the help of quantum
chem. calcns. the thermodn. data were calcd. first. On this basis it was
possible to find the optimal conditions to trap OSiCl2 from the
high-temp. equil. Furthermore it could be shown via IR spectroscopy
and quantum chem. calcns., that the radical OSiCl does not play a

A simple and cost-effective approach to decrease odorous misc. total
reduced S (TRS) sources at a kraft pulp mill was identified. The
approach involved mixing the TRS gas stream with the waste residual
ClO2 that is present in the un-scrubbed bleach plant stack gas. Since
ClO2 is a strong chem. oxidant, it is capable of quickly reacting with the
TRS components typically found in kraft pulp and paper mills. The
source of TRS studied at this mill was the weak black liquor storage
tank, a high-vol., low-concn. (HVLC) source, which typically emits TRS
at concns. of 100-200 ppmv. In a small pilot trial at the mill, mixing
simulated weak black liquor tank emissions (TRS levels of 245 and
426 ppmv) with the un-scrubbed bleach plant stack gas (emitting 2-6 kg
ClO2/h) effectively removed the TRS components that were present.

The fluorescence intensity ratios of O37ClO/O35ClO excited to the * 2A2
state are much larger than that expected from the 37Cl/35Cl natural
abundance ratio for several low-energy vibrational levels. For instance,
the O37ClO/O35ClO ratios are 1.67 and >10 for the (0,0,0) and (1,1,0)
bands, resp., which are 5 and 30 times larger than those expected from
the natural abundance ratio. These unusual isotope effects are obsd. in
a narrow energy region within ~1000 cm-1 above the electronic origin.
Probably the isotopomer-selective, near-resonant spin-orbit coupling of
the low-energy vibrational levels of the 2A2 state with those of the 2A1
state, which provides a decay channel for the 2A2 state via spin-orbit
coupling, is responsible for the unusual isotope effect.

We report a refined near-equil. potential energy function for the first
excited electronic state (*2A2) of OClO based on a recent ab initio
calcn. The potential parameters are adjusted to fit the available exptl.
vibrational frequencies using a variational method. Excited vibrational
wavefunctions have significant amplitudes in non-C2v mol. geometry,
despite the fact that the potential has a single C2v min. Due to the
strong coupling between the sym. and anti-sym. stretching coordinates,
the vibration in the latter mode is highly anharmonic. The calcd.
absorption spectrum of the * * X transition indicates activities in all
three vibrational modes, in agreement with exptl. observations.

The application of ClO2 as bactericide to treating produced water of
oilfield was studied. The effect of sterilizing time, the quality of the
produced water, and the tolerance of the bacteria on the sterilization
effectiveness of ClO2 was discussed. ClO2 decreased the microbiol.
induced corrosion in the produced water system when the contents of
reducing substances in the produced water were low and purified the
produced water due to its colloid breaking and mutual pptn. actions.

Union Camp Corp. uses a neural network development software in the
construction of a real time final brightness prediction model for pulp
bleaching. The objective of the project is to use the prediction model
as a "soft sensor" in the feed-forward control of pulp brightness in a
ClO2 bleaching stage. In early 1996, Union Camp was searching for
new tools for use in the bleaching process for process optimization,
smart alarming, and more advanced process control applications.
Based on several vendor presentations, they elected to purchase a
Gensym G2 advanced control software package and apply the technol.
to the bleaching processes. A final ClO2 bleaching stage was chosen
for the initial project in order to take advantage of a wealth of process
knowledge and to satisfy the need to decrease final pulp variability. A
soft sensor application was chosen because they had had little success
using traditional vendor-supplied brightness meters on their D-stage for
final brightness measurement as a result of various process
constraints. The Gensym package with their NeurOn-Line software
offered the opportunity to predict final brightness via the neural network
model capabilities, so it was decided to est. final brightness based on
the incoming pulp quality and dioxide reaction conditions. Using
process data collected over several months, covering a full range of
operating conditions, a 4 input-single output neural network model was
constructed to predict final brightness. The model is based on the
incoming pulp brightness, ClO2 dose, pH, and ClO2 residual. The result
was a stable, accurate, and reliable model which allowed them to cut
outlet brightness variability, lower overall chem. usage, and simplify the
control of pulp brightness. The development of the artificial neural
network brightness model, the control strategy used, and the pitfalls of
project development are discussed.

PH has a pronounced effect on both kinetics and effectiveness of ClO2
delignification of Eucalyptus globulus pulp. The kinetics of ClO2
delignification of kraft pulp follows a 1st-order reaction with a
time-dependent rate const. The parameters of the rate equation are
highly dependent on pH. The delignification by ClO2 is faster and more
effective at pH 4.0 than at pH 2.0 and pH 10.0.

Sequential disinfection with chlorine dioxide followed by free chlorine or
monochloramine and with ozone followed by chlorine dioxide were
evaluated for their effect on the inactivation of Cryptosporidium parvum
oocysts. Expts. were conducted at 22癈 in 0.05 M phosphate buffer at
pH 6, 8 and 11. Animal infectivity using neo-natal, CD-1 mice was
used to det. infectiousness after treatment. Chlorine dioxide alone is
more effective in inactivating Cryptosporidium oocysts at pH 11 when
compared to results at pH 6 and 8. Ozone was least effective at pH 11
when compared to results at pH 6 and 8. Sequential disinfection with
chlorine dioxide followed by free chlorine or monochloramine and
ozone followed by chlorine dioxide showed significantly more
inactivation of oocysts due to synergism between the disinfectants at
pH 6 and 8. However, the synergistic effect at pH 11 was greatly
diminished when compared with the results at pH 6 and 8.

The photochem. of chlorine dioxide (OClO) in water and acetonitrile
was studied using time-resolved resonance Raman spectroscopy.
Stokes and anti-Stokes spectra are measured as a function of time
following photoexcitation using degenerate pump and probe
wavelengths of 390 nm. For aq. OClO, the time-dependent Stokes
intensities are consistent with the re-formation of ground-state OClO by
sub-picosecond geminate recombination of the primary ClO and O
photofragments. This represents the first unequivocal demonstration of
primary-photoproduct geminate recombination in the condensed-phase
photochem. of OClO. Anti-Stokes intensity corresponding to the OClO
sym. stretch is obsd. demonstrating that, following geminate
recombination, excess vibrational energy is deposited along this
coordinate. Anal. of the anti-Stokes decay kinetics demonstrates that,
in water, intermol. vibrational relaxation occurs with a time const. of ~9
ps. For OClO dissolved in acetonitrile, the Stokes scattering intensities
are consistent with a significant redn. in the geminate-recombination
quantum yield relative to water. Comparison of the OClO anti-Stokes
decay kinetics in acetonitrile and water demonstrates that the rate of
intermol. vibrational relaxation is ~4 times smaller in acetonitrile.
Finally, in both solvents the appearance of sym.-stretch anti-Stokes
intensity is significantly delayed relative to geminate recombination.
This delay is consistent with the initial deposition of excess vibrational
energy along the asym.-stretch coordinate followed by intramol.
vibrational energy redistribution. The time scale for this redistribution is
~5 ps in water and ~20 ps in acetonitrile suggesting that intramol.
vibrational energy reorganization is solvent dependent.

Selecting appropriate disinfectants and oxidants for water treatment
requires a balance among 4 factors: providing pathogen-free water;
avoiding or minimizing disinfection byproduct prodn.; controlling water
quality parameters (i.e., algae, taste and odor, zebra mussels, clams,
Fe and Mn); and maintaining microbiol. quality of water as it is
distributed to customers. The outlined approach serves as a basis for
water suppliers to evaluate and select alternative disinfectants for
drinking water systems. A decision tree was prepd. to assist utilities in
selecting appropriate disinfectants by weighing the advantages and
disadvantages of individual disinfectants and their combinations to
meet pathogen inactivation requirements, max. contaminant levels for
disinfection byproducts, and max. residual disinfectant levels.
Disinfectants and oxidants discussed are: Cl2, O3, ClO2,
monochloramine, peroxone, KMNO4, UV light, and combinations of
these agents. For each disinfectant, an overview of pathogen
inactivation efficiency and disinfection byproduct formation potential is
presented. Topics covered include: disinfection and oxidn. practices;
alternative disinfectants and oxidants; disinfectant and oxidant
properties; and selecting the appropriate disinfectant.

The primary objective to implement either enhanced coagulation or
enhanced softening is to increase removal of disinfection byproduct
precursors and reduce the formation of disinfection byproducts.
Implementing enhanced coagulation or softening can involved major
process modifications and be accompanied by secondary impacts
which can be adverse or beneficial to the treatment process. Major
secondary impacts are identified, and impacts and current mitigation
strategies if these impacts are adverse to plant operations or water
quality are characterized. Topics discussed include: inorg. pollutants
(Mn removal, corrosion control); primary disinfection (Cl2, O3, ClO2);
disinfection byproducts; particle/pathogen removal; and residuals
handling, treatment, and disposal (increased sludge vol., sludge
characteristics).

The US EPA has implemented a voluntary and confidential site survey
program to continually assess and improve the quality of data
submitted to the Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) database. Between
1995 and 1997, EPA conducted site visits to 104 facilities in 6 Std.
Industrial Classification (SIC) Codes to review TRI data from reporting
years 1994 and 1995. Ten of the site visits were to facilities in SIC
Code 26, Paper and Allied Products. This paper summarizes the
results of the site surveys. Aggregated data from facilities in each SIC
Code are compared, and specific errors and issues for the SIC Code
26 facilities are identified. Results of the site surveys show that, in
general, data reported by the 10 facilities that were visited in SIC Code
26 were more accurate than data in the other SIC Codes that were
surveyed. EPA is using the information from the site survey program to
update the TRI Forms and Instructions, and several general and
industry-specific TRI reporting guidance documents.

Ever since the first reporting year, 1987, National Council for Air and
Stream Improvement has been assisting its member companies in
filling out Form Rs by issuing annual updates to its Handbook for SARA
Section 313 Form R Reporting. Over the years, pulp and paper mills
have relied heavily on the use of industry-wide av. ests. provided in this
Handbook. The task of generating mill-specific ests. for most chems.
is generally quite cumbersome. Unfortunately, however, these ests.
change from year to year. There are several reasons for these
changes, mostly related to periodic generation of new data and to
clarified or uncertain interpretations by both EPA and the regulated
community of the reporting requirements. Thus, trends in annual
releases reported by a particular mill may have little to do with any real
changes in process or prodn.-related activities and more to do with the
use of changing av. ests. published in the Handbook. Using three
model mills, one unbleached kraft and two bleached kraft, the predicted
trends in air, water and land releases of several 313 chems. are plotted
for the period between 1987 and 1996, assuming the example mills
strictly use the ests. provided in the Handbook. For comparison
purposes, actual av. releases reported in EPA's Toxic Release
Inventory (TRI) database for chem. pulp mills are also plotted for several
of these chems. The results of this exercise show that in spite of no
changes occurring within the model mills, theor. annual reported
releases go through significant fluctuations. Indeed, quite often,
industry-wide av. releases reported in EPA's TRI database appear to
track the changing av. ests. in the Handbook quite well, underscoring
the role played by these ests., as well as by modified or clarified EPA
interpretations on the reporting requirements for some chems.

The focus of this study was to det. the efficacy of various chems. in
eliminating 2.04 to 3.23 log10 CFU/g of Escherichia coli O157:H7 from
alfalfa seeds and to det. the survivability of the pathogen on seeds
stored for prolonged periods at three temps. Significant (P * 0.05)
redns. in populations of E. coli O157:H7 on inoculated seeds were
obsd. after treatments with 500 and 1000 ppm of active chlorine (as
Ca[OCl]2) for 3 but not 10 min and with *2,000 ppm of Ca(OCl)2
regardless of pretreatment with a surfactant. Treatment with 20,000
ppm of active chlorine failed to kill 2.68 log10 CFU/g of seeds.
Acidified NaClO2 (500 ppm) was effective in reducing populations of
the pathogen by >2 logs per g. Acidified ClO2 significantly reduced
populations of E. coli O157:H7 on seeds at concns. *100 ppm, and
500 ppm of ClO2 reduced the pathogen from 2.7 log10 CFU/g to <0.5
CFU/g. Chlorine (as NaOCl) was not effective at concns. *1,000 ppm;
significant redn. was achieved only after treatment with 2,000 ppm for 3
or 10 min. Notable redn. in populations was obsd. after treatment with
30 or 70% C2H5OH, but there was a dramatic decrease in germination
percentage. Treatment with 0.2% H2O2 significantly reduced
populations, and the organism was not detected by direct plating after
treatment with *1% H2O2. Significant redn. in the population of E. coli
O157:H7 occurred after treatment with 1% trisodium phosphate, 40
ppm Tsunami and Vortexx, and 1% Vegi-Clean. A significant
decrease in the no. of E. coli O157:H7 on dry seeds was obsd. within 1
wk of storage at 25 and 37癈, but not at 5癈. Between 1 and 38 wk,
populations on seeds stored at 5癈 remained relatively const. The
pathogen was recovered from alfalfa seeds initially contg. 3.04 log10

Rotational spectra of the 4 main isotopomers of ClClO2 which together
span the quantum nos. 10*77 and 0a*34 were studied in selected
regions between 10 and 417 GHz. The in situ syntheses using
reactions between FClO2 and either HCl or BCl3 are described.
Rotational and centrifugal distortion consts. were derived and used for
structure and harmonic force field calcns. The quadrupole coupling
consts. for both Cl nuclei were detd. and the mol. dipole moment was
derived from low field Stark effect measurements in the submillimeter
region. The results are discussed in relation to published results from a
matrix-isolation study, from theor. calcns., and from studies of related
mols.

This study detd. the inactivation kinetics of Cryptosporidium parvum
oocysts using ClO2 as a function of pH. And addnl. goal was to
consolidate all data available in the literature for various types of
reactors and water quality. Results showed that with ClO2 at pH 6, 8,
and 10, inactivation curves included an initial shoulder or lag phase with
no inactivation, followed by pseudo-first order kinetics. Inactivation
efficiency of 99% (2 logs) were achieved at CT values of ~120, 75, and
60 mg-min/L at pH 6, 8, and 10, resp. Results showed an apparent
increased resistance to disinfection with decreasing pH.

The application of chem. disinfectants sequentially have been shown to
provide superior disinfection performance for encysted parasites when
compared to the same disinfectants used singly. This finding may be
of great importance in setting new regulations under the Enhanced
Surface Water treatment rule. Inactivation of Giardia muris cysts, and
Cryptosporidium parvum oocysts were studied at bench-scale using
ozone or chlorine dioxide in combination with chlorine species. The
findings suggest that for both Giardia and Cryptosporidium, a 0.5 to 1
log-unit benefit may be possible under the conditions studied when
compared to the use of the disinfectants singly. The use of
combinations of disinfectants may provide a practical, cost effective
method for water utilities to achieve control of waterborne parasites.
Further research is necessary to develop design criteria.

This study evaluated the resistance of aerobic spores to chlorination,
ozonization, and ClO2 under lab. conditions. The effect of pH was also
assessed for each type of disinfectant. During the expts., 2 strains of
aerobic spore-forming bacteria were inactivated to evaluate the
variation in resistance between species of the same genus.
Disinfectant concn. vs. contact time (CT) were compared with that
given for Giardia in the Surface Water Treatment Rule Guidance
Manual. The following conclusions were made: environmental spores
represent a conservative surrogate for Giardia since the CT values are
higher; inactivation rate is greater at pH 6.3 than at 8.2 because O3
decompn. is slower at lower pH; as obsd. by others, substantial
differences in the resistance to disinfection exist among species of the
Bacillus genus; and more data about the resistance of a mixed
indigenous population of aerobic spore-forming bacteria could be used
as a general indicator of disinfection efficiency.

A study was conducted to det. Norwalk virus (NV) redn. by free Cl2,
ClO2, and O3 in bench-scale disinfection expts. using quant. RT-PCR
virus assays; and compare NV redns. to other health-related viruses,
poliovirus type 1 (PV1) and coliphage MS2. Redn. so PV1 and MS2
based on RT-PCR assays generally under-estd. redns. of virus
infectivity by free Cl2, ClO2, and O3 disinfection. NV was not more
resistant to free Cl2, ClO2, and O3 than were the other viruses. Results
indicated NV is not highly resistant to free Cl2 disinfection as
suggested in previous work (B.H. Keswick, et al., 1985). NV was also
relatively sensitive to ClO2, and was reduced rapidly and extensively by
O3 disinfection.

For several years NO2 and OClO, two species important to
understanding ozone destruction in the Antarctic stratosphere, have
been measured at Arrival Heights, Antarctica by two groups: New
Zealand's National Institute of Water and Atm. Research (NIWA) and
the NOAA Aeronomy Lab. in Boulder, Colorado. Using data
independently collected by these two groups during the Austral spring
of 1996, it is shown that the two data sets are in extremely close
agreement. Besides offering validation of the instrumentation and anal.
techniques of both groups, this result provides confidence in the more
complete history of these species gained by combining the two data
sets.
