Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9506772A1] The present invention is directed to a method for treating lignocellulosic pulp prior to a bleaching step to minimize consumption of bleaching agent during the bleaching step which comprises the steps of (a) contacting the lignocellulosic pulp with an aqueous solution having a pH of at least about 5 and less than about 11 for a time sufficient to dissolve lignin from the pulp to form a reduced-lignin pulp and a lignin-rich solution, (b) separating the reduced-lignin pulp from the lignin-rich solution, and (c) bleaching the reduced-lignin pulp with the bleaching agent; wherein the time sufficient to dissolve lignin from the pulp to form a reduced-lignin pulp and a lignin-rich solution in step (a) is an amount of time which results in a decrease in bleaching agent consumption in step (c) in the range from about 10 % to about 20 %.
