Abstract
The focus of this study is the chemistry of reductive bleaching of kraft pulps with sodium dithionite. A set of model compounds mimicking quinone structures, residual lignin structures with conjugated carbonyl/carboxyl groups and muconic acid, among others, was reduced with sodium dithionite and monitored by ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy. Depending on the chromophore models, either reductive or sulfonation reactions are thought to be responsible for the degradation. No reductive degradation of hexeneuronic acid (HexA) residues was detected, but unsaturated structures of unknown origin were eliminated from the xylan. Additionally, the potential of the reductive stage with either sodium dithionite or sodium borohydride was tested using an industrial pine kraft pulp bleached by OOZEDD sequence. This pulp, with a 88.8% ISO brightness ceiling, exhibited a brightness increase to 90 ± 0.5% in the final reduction stage.
