Abstract: In acid sulphite mills the recycle of oxygen delignification filtrate to the recovery cycle can not be implemented
unless sodium ions are removed. Sodium, a non-process element, causes plugging of the flue gas passages in the recovery furnace. We used cation-exchange technology and removed 99% of the sodium ions from oxygen delignification filtrates. The recovery of BOD and COD was higher than 90%. Recycling the sodium- free filtrate to the recovery cycle offloads the effluent treatment system, increases steam production and reduces fresh water consumption.
