Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2021213740A1] In a process/an apparatus for producing bleached cellulose in which a lignin- and cellulose-containing suspension is subjected to at least one process step for oxygen-assisted bleaching in a reactor, such as alkaline oxygen delignification, oxygen-enhanced extraction or oxygen-enhanced peroxide bleaching, it is proposed according to the invention that the oxygen required for the oxygen-assisted bleaching is supplied to the reactor at least partially in the form of oxygen-containing nanobubbles. The small size and high stability of the nanobubbles allow uniform distribution of the oxygen in the suspension and a comparatively long exposure time. The efficiency of the bleaching is thus substantially increased.
