We have bleached the sodiummonosulfite semichemical Japan beech pulp with hydrogen peroxide and by three-stage bleaching (chlorine, sodium hydroxide, calcium hypochlorite).
Taking the bleached semichemical beech pulp and bleached kraft pulp of beech, their mechanical strengthes were compared when bleached semichemical or bleached kraft pulp of beech were mixed with bleached sulfite pulp of red pine.
(1) When hydrogen peroxide is used as a reagent, the bleaching is most effective where 1% hydrogen peroxide is consumed by pulp. In Japan, on account of high market price of hydrogen peroxide, the elevation of brightness from 40 to 60 seems to be the economical limit.
(2) To elevate the brightness from 40 of the unbleached semichemical pulp to 80, it may be performed economically only by the three-stage bleaching.
(3) In the case of three-stage bleaching; By the first process by chlorine treatment, about 70% of lignin contained in the unbleached semichemical pulp is dissolved, but the dissolving of pentosan and other carbohydrates are not observed. By the second process with sodium hydroxide treatment, a certain amount of lignin, pentosan and other carbohydrate are dissolved. At the third-process with bleaching powder, the dissolution of lignin and pentosan was observed, but not the dissolution of other carbohydrate.
(4) The mechanical strengthes of the semichemical pulp bleached by the three-stage process are about 20% higher than those of the unbleached semichemical pulp.
(5) In the case of bleached semichemical pulp and the bleached kraft pulp having the same brightness, the mechanical strength of the former is two times stronger than that of the latter.
(6) In the case of mixing the bleached kraft pulp in the bleached sulfite pulp, the larger the content of the bleached kraft pulp is, the more the mechanical strength of the paper from the mixed pulp decreases, but the mixing of the bleached semichemical pulp shows the contrary result.
