OPTIMIZATION OF ECF BLEACHING AND REFINING OF KRAFT PULPING FROM OLIVE TREE PRUNING

The aim of the present work was to find an optimum kraft pulping process for olive tree pruning (OTP) in order to produce a bleachable grade pulp of Kappa number about 17. The kraft pulp produced under optimized conditions showed a viscosity of 31.5 mPa.s and good physical, mechanical, and optical p...
