COLOR REMOVAL FROM KRAFT PULPING EFFLUENT BY LIME ADDITION. CAPSULE REPORT. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, D.C., EPA/625/2-73/002 (NTIS PB259135).

Description:

A full scale process for lime decolorization of kraft pulping total mill effluent was operated. Slaked lime addition was followed by primary sedimentation for removal of mixed fibrous and lime decolorization sludges. The clarified effluent subsequently underwent biochemical stabilization in a quiescent storage basin. A pilot-scale study of recarbonation for enhanced lime separation and more rapid effluent neutralization prior to biochemical stabilization was also evaluated.
