Abstract (en)

The pulping process involves digesting vegetable matter in a digesting liquor having an effective pH, during the digesting phase, of no more than about 7; the vegetable matter is digested in the presence of a catalyst comprising electron donor moieties and hydrophobic moieties, the catalyst concentration being at least 0.05 equivalents per litre of digesting liquor. A family of catalysts, which comprise electron donor moieties and hydrophobic moieties, is provided for use in the digesting liquor. The catalysts increase the strength of sheets made from the pulp, as evidenced by increased tear strengths and, in some embodiments, increased burst strengths. The use of the catalysts produce novel pulps, and permit novel sheets to be made with the pulps, and novel lignins can be recovered from the digesting liquor.
