Abstract
The body of information presented in this paper is directed to those individuals concerned with the air pollution control problems of the pulp and paper industry operation. Process modifications introduced at two Company mills, at Big Island, Va. and Tomahawk, Wis., where neutral sulfite semichemical pulping of hardwoods is performed at rates of 550 and 630 tons per day, respectively, are discussed. The methodology and concepts used to minimize total reduced sulfur and total sulfur oxide emissions from the recovery furnace of one of the operations are explained. In another major improvement already implemented in the Big Island Mill conventional hydrogen sulfide emissions from the sulfiting tower, on the order of 8–10 lb as sulfur per ton of pulp, have been completely eliminated by a process modification technique. Other aspects of the operations are described, and a forecast of possible emission levels for mills with a newer technology is made.
