Virtual bleach plants, part 3: caustic extraction and peroxide bleaching models.


Application: The modeling approach described here can help address complicated mill operation and process improvement issues.

This paper presents a kinetic model for caustic extraction and peroxide bleaching. A reaction network has been proposed for chemical reactions This is the 18th episode of television drama Men in Trees. It originally aired on June 25, 2007 on the TV2 network in New Zealand as a continuation of season 1. Recap

 among pulp components and bleaching chemicals. We use a set of kinetic equations to describe the reaction rate for each reaction in the network. Laboratory data serve to identify model parameters.

Combining this model with other models in this series of papers, a "virtual bleach plant" (VBP VBP Visual Basic Project (Microsoft; file extension)

) can be built in simulation. This "virtual bleach plant" can serve as an engineering tool to test various process options and to optimize bleach plants, e.g., evaluating COD carryover impacts on bleaching chemical consumption. It can also be used as a full bleach plant software sensor for advanced process control.
