Abstract (en)

Wood pulp, such as kraft, chemical or hybrid pulp, is subjected to a bleaching process wherein it is treated first with one or more oxidising agents such as oxygen, ozone or hydrogen peroxide, and then with a reducing agent such as sodium borohydride or sodium hydrosulfite. A further treatment with an oxidising agent can be carried out after the reducing treatment. Brightness may be further enhanced by treatment with an enzyme such as xylanase or with a chelant such as diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (DTPA).
