Description
Summary:Eucalyptus is recognized as one of the primary pulping raw materials in India, Australia, Brazil, Southeast Asia, Europe, and South Africa. Kraft pulping and bleaching practices that utilize chlorine, hypochlorite, and chlorine dioxide are known to produce effluents characterized by high concentrations of toxic organichlorines. A study was implemented to explore technologies used for kraft pulping of eucalyptus and conventional bleaching with chlorine, hypochlorite, and chlorine dioxide. Effluents from these activities were then analyzed for their contents of toxic contaminants. The study also sought to characterize the influence of diverse pulping and bleaching conditions on the generation of different pollutants.
