Studies were carried out to det. the fate and effects of the
MeOH-based byproducts formed during the generation of ClO2, when
that ClO2 soln. is used for pulp bleaching. The MeOH and HCOOH in
the ClO2 soln. had no effect on delignification efficiency or AOX
formation in the 1st 2 bleaching stages (DE). The MeOH formed by
lignin degrdn. in both the D0- and E1-stages is significantly higher than
that added with the ClO2 soln.. HCOOH is neither created nor
destroyed during pulp bleaching delignification. The addn. of MeOH
and HCOOH to ClO2 soln. produced mixed results with regard to the
BOD5 test. However, even in those expts. where the addn. of MeOH
and (or) HCOOH increased the bleach plant BOD5 load, the results did
not follow expected trends, and the changes were not statistically
significant.

The aq. reaction of chlorine dioxide with excess thiocyanate is known to
be autocatalytic at pH 2. We find that under strongly acidic conditions
(>0.1 M HClO4) it is pseudo-first-order with respect to [ClO2]. Under
these conditions, the rate law is -d[ClO2]/dt = (2k1 +
2k2[H+])[ClO2][SCN-], with 2k1 = 0.42 M-1 s-1 and 2k2 = 0.52 M-2 s-1 at
25 癈 and m = 1 M (LiClO4). Effective activation parameters in 1 M
HClO4 are DHG = 66.5 kJ/mol and DSG = -26.3 J/mol for the temp. range
13.4-52.2 癈. Reaction products were identified by ion chromatog. and
ion-selective electrodes, which allowed a verification of the
stoichiometry, 6ClO2 + 5SCN- + 8H2O * 6Cl- + 5CN- + 5SO42- + 16H+.
Direct evidence for a reaction intermediate, thiocyanogen, was
obtained through careful anal. of multiwavelength rapid scanning data.
This intermediate provides a reactive autocatalytic species OSCN- via
hydrolysis equil., and this equil. was found to be important to
simulations and fits to raw data. A 14-step mechanism is employed for
these fits and simulations, allowing a more thorough description of the
reaction system; this mechanism successfully reproduces both the full
rate law under pseudo-first-order conditions and the autocatalytic
behavior at pH 2.

By expts., the effects of ClO2 to remove phenol from the std. phenol
soln. under different conditions were investigated. The optimal
conditions for meeting the std. of waste removal include for reaction
temp. 25癈, the ClO2 vol. fraction 1/10,000 and reaction time 3-4 h or
1.5/10,000 and 2-3 h; and for the temp. at 35癈, 1/10 000 and 2-3 h,
resp. Thus, the waste water contg. phenol does not require
pretreatment and may simply adjust the vol. fraction of ClO2 and the
time of reaction according to the reaction temp. Using above result the
actual effect for the ClO2 to remove the phenol in waste water was
investigated. Using ClO2 to remove the phenol is suitable for the lower
vol. fraction phenol in waste water and the tertiary treatment of the

A review with 29 refs.; there is considerable disagreement regarding
the rate of the aq. reaction 2ClO2+Cl-+H2O瓾ClO2+ClO2-+HOCl.
Bray's early (1906) measurements indicate a third-order rate const. of
1*10-3 M-2 s-1 at 60癈, while recent kinetic modeling studies of chlorite
oscillators use rate consts. ranging from 5*101 to 8*107 M-2 s-1 at
25癈. We report attempts to make direct measurements on the
reaction at 25癈. The reaction is very slow and photosensitive: in 0.1
M HCl with 0.8 mM ClO2 less than 5% of the ClO2 is consumed in 3 h,
and in 0.01 M HClO4/1 mM NaCl with 0.3 mM ClO2 less than 10% is
consumed in 2 wk. Free energy calcns. indicate that the reaction has
an equil. const. too small for the reaction to occur by itself. In principle
the reaction can be driven by the addn. of product scavengers.
Moreover, if appropriate scavengers are present to remove the
purported intermediates ClClO2 and ClO2- then the reaction could have
the sought third-order rate law. Support for a finite but low rate const.
(k3.8*10-5 M-2 s-1) for this process comes from a consideration of a
prior report on the kinetics of the reverse reaction in view of the
principle of microscopic reversibility. Finally, ab initio calcns. on
ClClO2, an intermediate in the reaction, lead to an upper limit of
1.2*10-5 M-2 s-1; within the uncertainty in the hydration energy of ClClO2,
this result is in agreement with the lower limit given above. Thus, while
an accurate value for the rate const. at 25癈 is not yet in hand, it is
clearly orders of magnitude less than has been used in several recent
kinetic simulations.

Several sources of excessive worker exposure to ClO2 and Cl2 in the
chem. prepn. and bleach plant areas of a pulp mill due to gassings in a

quantified. Continuous personal monitoring by data-logging
electrochem. sensors permitted this data to be recorded. These high

older-generation industrial hygiene sampling equipment. In light of the
above findings and the current knowledge of the health effect of
gassings upon the respirator systems, it is recommended that: (1)
hygiene sampling programs be conducted in such a manner that peak
exposures workers encounter are being registered, (2) local exhaust
ventilation should be installed and checked for proper function, (3)
personal monitoring instrumentation, such as electrochem. sensors
equipped with alarms, should be used, (4) education of the work force

Elementally chlorine free (ECF) bleaching will be superior than totally
chlorine free (TCF) bleaching, not only because they have no significant
difference in effluent toxicity, but also those pulps bleached by ECF
have higher brightness, strength, yield, etc., over those by TCF. The
chem. of chlorine dioxide decompn. and ionization, both in water soln.
and in pulp slurry, was studied. Special attention was paid to chlorate
ion because there have been controversies as how it is formed and
what its behavior to the end pH of pulp bleaching is. As a result, during
ionization of chlorine dioxide with water, both chlorate and chlorite were
found to increase with increasing pH, but during ionization with pulp,
chlorite was found to increase with end pH while chlorate decreased
with increasing end pH. In the case of ionization with water, the
disproportion equation 2ClO2 + OH- * H2O + ClO3-+ ClO2- was thought
to become the main reaction with the increasing pH, while in the case
of ionization with pulp, the reaction HClO + ClO2- * H+ + Cl- + ClO3-
was the main reaction contributing to the formation of chlorate. Based
on this above opinion, the contrary results of chlorine dioxide ionization
from different researchers were discussed and explained.

An aseptic tank model system was used to study the efficacy of
chlorine dioxide (ClO2) gas as a potential sanitizing agent for com.
epoxy-lined juice storage tanks. Selected spoilage micro-organisms
(Lactobacillus buchneri, Leuconostoc mesenteroides, Eurotium spp.,
Penicillium spp, Candida spp. and Saccharomyces cerevisiae) were
surface inoculated on to epoxy-coated stainless steel strips, placed in
the model tank and subjected to different ClO2 gas treatments. The
varied treatment conditions consisted of 2-14 mg L-1 ClO2 gas, 50-98%
relative humidity, 5-120 min exposure time, and temps. ranging from
9-31癈. L. buchneri was used as the target microorganism and was
found to be most resistant to selected ClO2 gas treatments, followed by
L. mesenteroides, followed by the yeasts and molds studied.
Inactivation of L. buchneri and L. mesenteroides increased with greater
concn. of ClO2 gas, higher holding temp., higher relative humidity, and
more exposure time. Under the conditions of this study, all the selected
microorganisms could be completely inactivated, resulting in a
sterilized surface. The recommended treatments for assuring sterility
were 10 mg L-1 ClO2 gas for an exposure time of 30 min coupled with
(a) high relative humidity (>90%) and holding temps. between 9 and
28癈, or (b) high holding temps. (25-28癈) and relative humidity above

Chlorite, chlorate, and trihalomethane (THM) formation was measured
following the disinfection of drinking water using chlorine dioxide either
alone, or followed by chlorine or monochloramine. Chlorine dioxide
doses were selected to provide a range of Giardia inactivation levels
as calcd. using CT values (disinfectant concn. x contact time)
presented in the US Surface Water Treatment Rule. Expts. were
conducted at bench-scale in batch reactors, using water obtained from
two river sources. Dose requirements did not vary greatly when
disinfecting at 1 vs. 25*, since the higher CT requirements in the cold
(due to slower disinfection kinetics) were offset by greater chlorine
dioxide stability at low temp. Higher doses were required at pH 9
compared to pH 6, due to chlorine dioxide disproportionation at the
higher pH. Greater formation of chlorite and chlorate was obsd. at the
higher pH. Temp. exerted a relatively small effect on chlorite and
chlorate formation, following the trend obsd. for required dose. When
free chlorine was applied as a secondary disinfectant following primary
disinfection with chlorine dioxide, subsequent chlorite concns.
decreased at pH 6, but not at pH 9, suggesting that hypochlorous add,
and not hypochlorite, was responsible for the oxidn. of chlorite. THM
formation at pH 9 arising from secondary chlorination was reduced by
up to 30 mg L-1 due to prior application of chlorine dioxide at concns.

The structural and bonding properties of the chlorine oxides and
peroxides ClOx, ClOx-, (x = 1-4) and Cl2Ox (x = 1-8) in their ground state
have been investigated with the hybrid spin unrestricted and spin RHF
d. functional method. The equil. structures of the most stable isomers in
each stoichiometry have been detd. It is found that the di-chlorine
oxides avoid the formation of a Cl-Cl bond, and therefore have either
an oxo or peroxo structure. The calcd. vibrational harmonic frequencies
are in good agreement with the available gas phase or matrix isolation
IR data. The calcd. adiabatic electron affinities of the mono-chlorine
species are, resp., 2.23, 2.14, 4.07, and 5.1 eV for ClO, ClO2, ClO3,
and ClO4. The reaction enthalpies of the possible channels leading to
the formation of di-chlorine oxides and peroxides Cl2Ox from
mono-chlorine oxide fragments are reported and discussed. A
comparative discussion of the bonding in these species has been
carried out on the basis of the topol. anal. of the electron localization
function (ELF). It is found that the odd electron of the mono-chlorine
species is distributed on the oxygen and chlorine lone pairs. The weak
populations of the ClO bond basins and the absence of spin d. within
them leads to discarding a picture in which three electrons are involved
in the ClO bond. The localization of the spin d. in the mono-chlorine
oxides dets. the reactive center: oxygen for ClO and ClO4, chlorine for
ClO2 and ClO3. The formation of the di-chlorine oxides and peroxides
from the mono-chlorinated species follows the two following rules: (i)
the formation of a Cl-Cl bond never yields the most stable isomer, (ii)
the chem. bond linking the two fragments is formed between their
reactive centers provided rule (i) is satisfied.

The adiabatic electron affinities of five second row atoms (Al, Si, P, S,
Cl) and their monoxides and dioxides were detd. using six different d.
functional or hybrid Hartree-Fock/d. functional methods. The 15
species selected form a convenient closed set for which reliable exptl.
electron affinities exist for 13 of the species. Zero-point vibrational
energy cor. electron affinities are also reported. Equil. geometries and
vibrational frequencies were detd. with each d. functional method. The
method based on the Becke exchange functional and the
Lee-Yang-Parr correlation (BLYP) functional reproduced the exptl.
electron affinities most accurately, having an av. abs. error of 0.15 eV.
Using this functional, the electron affinities were predicted for SiO and
SiO2, mols. for which electron affinities are not known exptl., as 0.11 eV
and 2.03 eV, resp. It is concluded that the accuracy obsd. for d.
functional theory methods applied to first row atoms and mols. extends
to mols. contg. second row atoms and that d. functional theory
continues to provide a computationally affordable means of producing
electron affinities reliable to within a few tenths of an eV of definitive

The corrosion behavior of different grades of stainless steel has been

equipment in paper pulp mills. A coupon-testing program has been
carried out in 3 Swedish mills, with contemporaneous measurements of
corrosion and redox potential and the corrosion-affecting parameters:
pH, Cl-, temp., and residual Cl. The major conclusion is that the degree
of corrosion in D-stage filter washers varies amongst different mills and
highly depends upon residual Cl concn. Test coupons of the
superaustenitic material S31254 were resistant to crevice corrosion as
long as the residual Cl did not exceed 50-100 mg/L as active chlorine

The emerging need for introducing O pre-bleaching of pulp and the
possibility of partial substitution of Cl and other Cl-based bleaching
chems. with ClO2 in the Indian pulp and paper industry is discussed. By
adopting O pre-bleaching, the pulp kappa no. can be decreased, and
the low-kappa pulp can further be bleached to the required brightness
(~80% ISO) with the drastic decrease in the amt. of bleaching chems.
and pollution load generation which indirectly results in saving of energy
and other utilities required in effluent treatment. Partial substitution of
Cl and other Cl-based bleaching chems. with ClO2 results in high
brightness, i.e., +88% ISO of the eucalyptus pulp, without adversely
affecting the pulp quality. Substitution of 50-100% Cl with ClO2 in the
chlorination stage, followed by alk. extn. and ClO2 bleaching of the
O-pre-bleached pulps of bagasse, bamboo, and eucalyptus showed
very poor bleaching response. Use of Ca(ClO)2 in or after the extn.
stage showed an improvement in bleaching response. Still there is a
need for extending lab. bleaching studies to optimize the amt. of Cl and
other Cl-based chem. substitution with ClO2, in order to get the max.
bleaching response of the O-pre-bleached pulps of different raw
materials. By introducing the system in Indian mills, the Indian Paper
Industry can expect drastic decrease in the chem. cost, energy cost,
and pollution load generated. To achieve this goal, the mills need to
have very close cooperation with the machine manufacturers to modify
their existing bleaching systems.

The ice is manufd. by freezing aq. ClO2 solns. of 1-3000 mg/L,
preferably in a gas-permeable container. The ice packed in the
container is used for inhibiting quality deterioration of vegetables, fruits,
seafood, etc., and putrefaction of human remains. Decrease in the
concn. of ClO2 in the ice during transportation or storage is prevented
by freezing the aq. soln. in a gas-impermeable container and placing
the container at a low temp. Release of ClO2 from the ice is
suppressed by packing the ice in a gas-impermeable container and
storing the container in a freezer or a cooler. Aq. ClO2 solns. are
manufd. by slow-thawing or natural melting the Ice. An aq. soln. of ClO2
(0.1 g/L) was frozen in an O-impermeable
polyethylene/nylon/poly(vinylidene chloride) laminate film and the ice
was thawed after 8 days to show the ClO2 concn. 84 mg/L. Application
of the ice to preservation of eggs packed in a corrugated paperboard
box was also shown.

Within the European Union, many different disinfection systems are
used. They are applied both in facilities for the potabilization of
groundwater and surface water, and for the disinfection of wastewater
after a biol. treatment. Although chem. and phys. processes are usually
used, treatment procedures and results are quite different. In this work,
main disinfection systems used in European Countries in water
potabilization facilities are described. The growing use of surface
water for the prodn. of drinking water, underlines the necessity to
minimize the formation of byproducts with potentially toxic long-term
effect. This leads to define adequate control strategies in potabilization
processes: both used reagents and process schemes must be
analyzed considering this important aspect. In the 2nd part of this
paper, problems dealing with the disinfection of wastewater and the
main characteristics of the most important disinfection systems (as far
as their applicability and efficiency are concerned) are analyzed. The
results of a research carried out in order to compare 4 different
disinfection systems (ozonization, ClO2, UV radiation, and peracetic
acid) are presented.

Concern over disinfection byproducts (DBPs) in drinking water has
been focused on health risks with little attention to off-flavor
consequences of disinfection. The discovery that odorous aldehydes
could be produced from the chlorination of common amino acids is a
more recent concern. This research documents the yield of 4 odorous
aldehydes produced from 4 common amino acids (isobutyraldehyde
from valine, isovaleraldehyde from leucine, 2-methylbutyraldehyde from
isoleucine, phenylacetaldehyde from phenylalanine) from reactions with
4 common disinfectants, free Cl, monochloramine, ClO2 and O3. Only
free Cl and monochloramine produced substantial yields of the odorous
aldehydes under conditions relevant to drinking water treatment.
Factors affecting the aldehyde yield, including pH, temp., reaction time
and molar ratio (disinfectant/amino acid precursor) were studied. The
highest aldehyde yields were obtained with free Cl, at optimum
conditions of pH 9, molar ratio 1.5, reaction time 2 h and temp. 20*.
Slightly lower yields were obsd. at pH 7. These conditions produced
max. aldehyde yields (% of theor.) for each amino acid precursor as
follows: isobutyraldehyde 66%, 2-methylbutyraldehyde 74%,
isobutyraldehyde 85% and phenylacetaldehyde 87%. Most obsd.
aldehyde concns. at max. yields were in a range of max. values (~50
mg/L) reported in treated drinking water and well in excess of odor
detection thresholds in water.

The bleaching is done by delignification of chem. pulp with ClO2 and
peroxide in the presence of group IV, V and VI element oxyacids or
their salts as oxidn. catalysts at an initial pH of 1-3, then
dewatering/washing at a pH of >7 to give pulp with high brightness
without deterioration of fibers. The filtrate contg. catalysts can be
recycled for reuse. Thus, adding dild. H2SO4 to a hardwood kraft pulp
to pH 2, heating with Na2MoO4 0.05, H2O2 0.2 and ClO2 0.2% at a pulp
consistency of 12% at 70* for 2 h, dilg. with water to pulp consistency of
2.5% and pH 11.5, and pressing to pulp consistency of 20% gave a
filtrate with Mo content 97.9% vs. 68.3% if dilg. at pH 6.5 in place of
11.5.

Investigations on H2O2 bleaching perturbations reported in deinking
mills drew attention to the detrimental effects of catalase (I) activities
related to microorganism growth in water systems. I is produced by
aerobic microorganisms to protect themselves from toxic H2O2
produced during their own metabolic activities. Monitoring studies
were initiated to conduct further investigations on the processes, and to
better understand the extent of the I formation which contributes to a
decrease in bleaching efficiency. Although these studies did not
thoroughly clarify the actual phenomenon involved, early direction was
provided in the development of process treatment programs.
Significant improvements are suggested to control I propensity in
deinking plants, specifically the increase in peroxide dosage, thermal
treatment of the pulp or process waters, and the addn. of specific
chems., e.g. Cl, NaClO, ClO2, and biocides, to deactivate or inhibit I.

Given that elemental Cl has been largely supplanted by ClO2 as a
bleaching agent for pulp, there is increasing interest in the chem. of the
latter, and the mechanisms responsible for its delignification reactions.
This was investigated exptl., and based on the proposed mechanisms,
semi-empirical MO calcns. were performed on etherified and phenolic
model compds. representative of the condensed structures that occur
in residual lignin. From these calcns., the initial oxidn. reaction of each
model compd. was shown to be exothermic, whereas the measures of
reactivity, e.g. charge, MO d., and bond order, indicated that the
phenolic structure is more susceptible to reaction than the etherified
model.

Phenol and 3-ethoxy-l-propanol were used as representatives of kraft
lignin to aid in the elucidation of the reaction pathway assocd. with
chlorine dioxide substitution during kraft pulp bleaching.
Pseudo-reaction rate consts. and the order of reaction were detd. for
reactions of each of the model compds. with chlorine, chlorine dioxide,
and mixts. of chlorine and chlorine dioxide. The effects of the order of
chem. addn. were also detd. No attempt was made to postulate actual
reaction pathways. Rather, global reaction kinetics as detd. by a
simple power law rate model were evaluated in an attempt to
understand bleaching results seen in industry. Model compds. were
employed instead of actual kraft lignin to reduce the no. of possible
reactions thus allowing for easier interpretation of the results. The
model lignin bleaching results indicate chlorine reacts with the arom.
portion of the kraft lignin about three times faster than chlorine dioxide.
Chlorine was also found to react with a wider range of chems. than
chlorine dioxide. Order of addn. studies indicate chlorine dioxide
should be added before chlorine in order to obtain the largest no. of
lignin reactions. The global reaction rate consts. for mixts. of chlorine
and chlorine dioxide were equiv. to the sum of the rate consts. for
chlorine alone and chlorine dioxide alone, indicating chlorine and
chlorine dioxide do not interfere with each other during lignin reactions.
Model compd. results strongly support the theory that chlorine dioxide
substitution is a competing parallel reaction pathway with little or no
interaction between the chlorine and chlorine dioxide. The majority of
the rapid lignin reactions occur between the bleaching chems. and the
arom. portions of the kraft lignin. When chlorine and chlorine dioxide
are present in a specific bleaching stage, true competitive reactions
occur. Thus, more reactions between the bleaching chems. and lignin
occur when the less aggressive chem., chlorine dioxide is added
before the more reactive chlorine.

The drying characteristics and sterilization mechanism of adsorption
drying system using carrot as raw material were studied. The factors
affecting the adsorption drying system (humidity, temp., and velocity of
drying air, and surface area of raw material) were discussed. The
results showed that original nutrient, color, perfume and taste of carrot
were basically kept after drying. Rotary dehumidifier and high efficient
filter kept the system clean, and the addn. of sterilizing agent ClO2 was
beneficial to sterilization of air and products.
