Water. Primary issues of concern are biochemical oxygen demand(BOD) ;chlorinated organic compounds(particularly dioxin), which are often collectively measured as adsorbable organic halides(AOX) ;chemical oxygen demand(COD) ;total suspended solids(TSS) ;and aquatic toxicity. Reduction of water use in the industry is also a concern, although progress has been made in this area in the past several decades. Elimination of aqueous effluent from the manufacturing process is a goal of the industry worldwide. 2, record 1, English, - liquid%20effluent

Peroxide brightening stages have been used for many years in mechanical pulp mills and has recently gained acceptance in kraft pulp mills. It has been used to replace chlorine dioxide brightening stages in applications where very low AOX or TCF pulps are required. For chemical pulps typical peroxide stage conditions are temperatures of 80-90°C, pHs over 10. 8 and retention times over 3h. It is important to maintain a high concentration of peroxide through the stage to reach the desired brightness. 1, record 3, English, - peroxide%20stage

Les stades d'éclaircissement au peroxyde sont utilisés depuis de nombreuses années par les usines de pâte mécanique et ont récemment pénétrés les usines kraft. Le peroxyde remplace le bioxyde de chlore lors des derniers stades de blanchiment afin d'abaisser les rejets de COA ou pour permettre la production de pâte SC. Pour les pâtes chimiques, les conditions usuelles sont : une température de 80-90 °C; un pH supérieur à 10.8; et un temps de résidence de plus de trois heures. 1, record 3, French, - stade%20au%20peroxyde

A ratio of the amount of (equivalent) chlorine applied in the initial chlorination stage to the amount of lignin in the pulp entering the initial chlorination stage. 2, record 4, English, - kappa%20factor
Record number: 4, Textual support number: 1 CONT
The Kappa Factor is also known as the Active Chlorine Multiple(ACM). It is the sum of all chlorine compound additions to the first chlorination stage(converted to active chlorine equivalent, i. e. ClO2 wt% charge x 2. 63) divided by the Kappa number of the pump entering the first chlorination stage. The amount of AOX formation is directly related to the Kappa factor; for any given pulp the relationship is linear in a Cl2-free sequence. An important relationship exists between the Kappa factor(and ClO2 substitution) and the tendency to form 2, 3, 7, 8-TCDD. There is a need to operate in the vicinity of a Kappa factor of 0. 17, even at high ClO2 substitution, to ensure that polychlorinated dioxins and furans are not formed. 2, record 4, English, - kappa%20factor

Rapport de la quantité de chlore (ou l'équivalent) appliquée au premier stade de chloration sur la quantité de lignine présente dans la pâte. C'est la somme de tous les composés chlorés ajoutés lors de la chloration (convertit en équivalent chlore actif), c'est-à-dire concentration du ClO2 (% massique)X 2.63) divisée par l'Indice Kappa de la pâte initiale. 1, record 4, French, - facteur%20Kappa
Record number: 4, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Une relation directe existe entre la quantité de COA et le Facteur Kappa. Dans une séquence sans chlore élémentaire, la relation est linéaire pour toutes les pâtes. Une autre relation existe entre le Facteur Kappa (et le degré de substitution en ClO2) et la tendance à former le 2,3,7,8-TCDD. Il est donc nécessaire d'opérer dans le voisinage d'un Facteur Kappa de 0.17 afin de s'assurer que des dioxines et furanes polychlorés ne puissent se former. 1, record 4, French, - facteur%20Kappa
