Abstract [en]
Samples of Eucalyptus dunnii with high calcium content have less good pulping properties regarding delignification and polysaccharide degradation, as it was shown by us earlier. In this work, we tested the addition of black liquor and green liquor to the Eucalyptus dunnii chips before kraft pulping, Specific improvements were obtained with both liquors, but the most substantial effect was observed with the green liquor, where even wood with the highest calcium content was pulped with a good result. Delignification was faster, and viscosity losses (degree of polymerization of cellulose) were higher for samples treated with green liquor prior to kraft pulping. Bleaching experiments showed that the bleachability of the green liquor-treated pulp was virtually the same as for a control pulp and that the higher viscosity of the bleached pulp was maintained. Possible chemical explanations for the results obtained are discussed.
