Abstract
Abstract Effect of using diethylenetriamine pentaaceticacid (DTPA) as carbohydrate protector in ozone stage on delignification efficiency, bleaching efficiency, selectivity, metal ions, strength, morphological properties and effluent properties of wheat straw pulp was studied. Using DTPA during ozone treatment viscosity of pulp was improved by 1.1 units, delignification efficiency improved by 13.8 % and pulp brightness improved by 2.5 units compared to that of control. Most importantly the selectivity of ozone treatment was improved by 124 %. Ozone treatment along with DTPA reduced the Fe, Cu and Mn content in the pulp by 52 %, 27 % and 70 %, respectively. Use of DTPA in ozone stage improved the bleached pulp viscosity by 9 %, post colour number by 27 % and reduced the pulp shrinkage by 5 % compared to control pulp. DTPA treated and control pulps have comparable physical strength and morphological properties.
