oxygen delignification
oxygen delignification is a proven technology widely used to remove 40-50% of the residual lignin in non-bleached pulp. use of oxygen reduces operating costs by reducing the amount of bleaching chemicals required in subsequent processing by targeting the easily oxidized lignin molecules. oxygen also serves to reduce the emission of chlorinated byproducts and lowers the organic load and toxicity of the resulting wastewater. additionally, it can be used in extended oxygen delignification (eod) to increase the efficiency of the fiber lines.
