Reinforcement of Hydrogen Peroxide Bleaching of Bamboo Pulp

Article Preview

Abstract:

Magnesium-based alkalis and the Chelants (tetra acetyl ethylene diamine (TAED), Sodium Citrate and Opal) for hydrogen peroxide bleaching of bamboo pulp were investigated in this paper. The results showed that the optimal conditions of hydrogen peroxide bleaching of bamboo pulp were as follows: H2O2 4%, Mg(OH)2:NaOH=25%, Sodium Citrate 1%, Opal 1.5%, TAED:H2O2=0.67, temperature 60°C, and time 90 minutes. Under the optimum conditions, the brightness of bamboo pulp can be enhanced from 41.2% ISO to 78.2% ISO, while the brightness of bleached pulp by using the Mg(OH)2-based alkalis was higher than by using NaOH as the alkali source. It can be seen that Sodium Citrate, Opal, and TAED activated H2O2 bleaching needed lower reaction temperature, shorter time, and got better brightness and alleviated environment pollution, compared with the conventional H2O2 bleaching of the same pulp.
