Abstract
A method for the production of delignified wood pulp is provided which result in said pulp's having improved delignification ratios. In accordance with preferred embodiments, brownstocks are substantially uniformly treated with aqueous alkaline solution while in a state of low consistency. The consistency is then increased to values preferably in excess of about 20% and the brownstock treated with oxygen to effect delignification. The processes of the invention provide surprising improvements over prior methods in the high strength, low lignin containing pulps may be formed thereby. These pulps can be further bleached to high brightness with less subsequent bleach chemical.
