The pulping conditions namely- active alkali concentration, pulpingtime, temperature and liquor ratio were varied in low (15%) and high (30%) sulphidity. 0.1% AQ was added in the low and high sulphidity pulping with varying active alkali concentration and cooking time. At optimum conditions, low sulphidity kraft process produced about 44% pulp yield with kappa number of about 23. But in high sulphidity kraft process kappa number was reduced to about 20 at the same yield. An addition of AQ reduced alkali requirement by 2% on oven dried raw material and cooking time by 1 hour to produce pulp yield of about 44% at kappa number 20. AQ is more effective in low sulphidity pulping than the high sulphidity pulping. The breaking length of kraft-AQ pulp was slightly higher than that of kraft pulp.Read More
