Abstract
A process is provided for reducing the requirement of fresh chemicals without increasing emissions in the pulping of cellulosic material with alkaline sodium- and sulfur-containing-sulfate pulping liquor, which comprises evaporating and burning spent sulfate pulping liquor to obtain a smelt; dissolving the resulting smelt in water to form a sodium-sulfide-sodium carbonate-containing solution green liquor; regenerating pulping white liquor containing sodium sulfide and sodium hydroxide from said green liquor; and recirculating said regenerated white liquor to the pulping stage; oxidizing at least one of the resulting green and white liquors to form sodium thiosulfate therein; reacting the oxidized liquor with residual acid liquor, from the manufacture of chlorine dioxide by reduction of an alkali metal chlorate solution, to convert thiosulfate to sulfur dioxide and sulfur; removing and recovering formed sulfur dioxide; and returning the residual liquor, freed from sulfur dioxide, to the pulping.
