Bleaching is usually accomplished using a series of chemical treatments. The chemicals and the order in which they are used make up a "bleaching sequence." This course covers what a typical bleaching sequence is as well as the main goals of bleaching and how to achieve those goals. It also describes what the advantages and disadvantages of bleaching are along with the purpose and configurations of filtrate recycling.

Learning Objectives

At the end of this module, you will be able to:

  • Define a "bleaching sequence"
  • Describe the goals of bleaching and how to achieve a good bleaching sequence
  • Describe how to represent bleaching stages and sequences
  • Identify and define typical bleaching sequences
  • Describe advantages or disadvantages of typical bleaching sequences
  • Identify reasons for filtrate recycling
  • Identify and describe filtrate recycling configurations

Key Questions

The following key questions are answered in this module:

What is a bleaching sequence?
The bleaching chemicals and the order in which they are used make up a bleaching sequence.

How can the chemical demand for bleaching be reduced?
Pulp to a lower kappa number and/or use an oxygen delignification stage prior to bleaching so there is less lignin to remove.

What do the letters in a bleaching sequence mean?
Each letter represents a different chemical. Chlorine Dioxide (D), Oxygen (O), Hydrogen Peroxide (P), Ozone (Z), and Alkaline Extraction (E)

What does ECF and TCF mean?
Chlorine used to be the major pulp bleaching chemical, but it is no longer used because is harmful to people and the environment. ECF stands for elemental chlorine free bleaching. ECF sequences use chlorine dioxide instead of chlorine. TCF, or totally chlorine free, bleaching doesn't use any chlorine containing chemicals for bleaching.

What are the different configurations for filtrate recycling?
Fresh water could be used for washing after every stage, but filtrate is recycled to minimize water usage. The main configurations for filtrate recycling are direct countercurrent, jump-stage, split-flow, and fractional.

Sample Video Transcript

Below is a transcript of the video sample provided for this module:

One way to wash pulp in the bleach plant would be to supply fresh water to each stage, but this would require a tremendous amount of water. Note that as the pulp moves through the plant, there is less lignin to remove, hence, less dissolved lignin. So the pulp and wash filtrate becomes increasingly clean because the discharge filtrate from the last stage is cleaner than the pulp coming into the previous stage, that filtrate can be used as a wash water in the previous stage. Using this technique of filtrate recycling, wash water flows countercurrent to the pulp through a bleach plant. However, direct countercurrent flow is not ideal because of the pH differences from stage to stage. A large amount of acid or alkali would be required to raise and lower the pulp pH.

Customer Q&A

I would like to have several employees take multiple courses. How can I set that up?

We're in the process of making bulk course and multiple user purchases easier. But for now, you can order multiple courses and contact us with details on who you'd like to assign courses to. We can set up each user's training plan and make sure everyone gets the eLearning assignments they need.

Can I get a free full-length preview of a course to see what this course covers?

While we do our best to offer details on course contents, we don't normally offer full-length previews. But please contact us with more details for a better understanding of what your organizaton needs and how we can help.

Do I get a certificate when I complete a course?

Yes. All of our courses allow you to print a completion certficate upon successfully passing the integrated test at the end of each eLearning course.

How do I log in to take a course that I have already paid for?

You'll receive an email with login details moments after you purchase your pay-per-view (PPV) course. Just click the login link and enter the user name and password provided.

Do you have courses in different languages?

Yes. While all of our courses are originally produced in English, we develop many courses in a growing number of languages, including Chinese, Dutch, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Tamil, and Thai. Available languages are normally displayed in the Course Details section on each course page.
