Abstract

In order to improve the physical properties and brightness of poplar chemi-mechanical pulp, a new staged alkali and hydrogen peroxide treatment method was proposed and applied. Wood chips were impregnated and swelled with an alkali solution and then treated with a hydrogen peroxide bleaching liquor. A thorough evaluation and comparison of the physical properties and brightness of the pulps that underwent different treatment methods was conducted. The results showed that when the pulp was treated with an alkali and hydrogen peroxide treatment method with an alkali dosage of 6% and a hydrogen peroxide dosage of 6%, the tear index was 3.64 mNm2/g, the tensile strength was 3.61 kN/m, and the pulp brightness was 67.1% (ISO). The obtained physical properties and brightness of the alkali and hydrogen peroxide method treated pulp were greater than the traditional alkaline hydrogen peroxide method values, as well as the values of any other single treatment methods.
