Analysis of Bleach Liquors

  • Chapter
Analytical Methods in Wood Chemistry, Pulping, and Papermaking

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Wood Science ((SSWOO))

Abstract

Since the early 1970s, great efforts have been made in developing suitable analytical methods for the chemical characterization of the organic material in bleach liquors from kraft and sulfite pulp mills. Several different analytical methods have been needed, since this material is composed of a very complex mixture of substances varying in chemical structure and molecular weight. The interest has particularly been focused on methods for monitoring the formation and discharge of chlorinated organic matter. Methods for determination of both sum parameters and specific compounds have been developed for this purpose.
