  • Pulp Bleaching: Principles & Practice, Item # 0102B061
    "Pulp Bleaching: Principles and Practice" Edited by Carlton W. Dence and Douglas W. Reeve 1996, 880 pages, 7" x 10" hard cover page Order Number: 0102B061 ISBN: 0-89852-063-0 This comprehensive text is a complete revision of The Bleaching of Pulp, published by TAPPI PRESS in 1979. The new text covers fundamentals and processes from chemical composition of pulp to technology, production, and the environmental impact of bleaching. Designed as a text book and reference book, Pulp Bleaching: Principles and Practice explains what bleaching is, why pulp is bleached, and how bleaching is done. The book is divided into eight major sections which are sub-divided into 36 chapters covering all aspects of pulp bleaching. The book also features discussions on several "hot topics" in pulp bleaching, enzyme assisted bleaching, and bleaching of recycled fiber. In addition, the book is key word indexed and each chapter contains extensive references. Pulp Bleaching: Principles and Practice will be a valuable textbook for students in pulp and paper programs and a comprehensive reference for everyone involved in pulp bleaching, especially process engineers, project engineers, and technical personnel. Edited by pulp bleaching specialists Carlton W. Dence and Douglas W. Reeve, this book contains the work of 57 co-authors and was sponsored by the Pulp Bleaching Committee of TAPPI's Pulp Manufacture Division.

  • Reaction of Thiourea with Hydrogen Peroxide: 13C NMR Studies of an Oxidative /Reductive Bleaching Process
    -_ 94 Reaction of Thiourea with Hydrogen Peroxide: 13C NMR Studies of an Oxidative /Reductive Bleaching Process MUSTAFAARIFOGLU, WILLIAM N. MARMER,~AND ROBERTL. DUDLEY USDA, ARS, Eastern Regional Research Center, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19118 U.S.A. ABSTRACT Thiourea’s reaction with hydrogen peroxide in solution under bleaching conditions at three different pH values has been investigated using 13C NMR spectroscopy. Since this reaction is fast and exothermic, it is essential that short total acquisition times be used to accumulate sufficient data to detect differentspecies formed during the reaction. As the abundance of I3C in the reactants in the concentration range studied is very low, I3C-labeled thiourea was used as the starting material. Sufficient data were ac- cumulated in short acquisition times (2-4 minutes) to identify different species formed during the reaction. The results showed that differentintermediate products are formed during the reactions, depending on the pH of the medium and the molar ratio of the reactants. The reaction goes through a thiourea dioxide intermediate; this then hy- drolyzes under heat and neutral or alkaline conditions to yield sulfinate anion and urea if the initial reaction of thiourea with hydrogen peroxide is allowed to take place in acidic/neutral medium (pH = 4.0-7.0). Because thiourea dioxide hydrolyzes in solution, there is a rapid change in redox potential from a positive value to a high negative value. The species causing the negative redox potential, and hence the species responsible for reductive bleaching, is believed to be the sulfinate anion. The reaction of thiourea with hydrogen peroxide in hydrochloric acid at pH < 1 results in the formation of formamidine disulfide dihydrochloride, which decomposes at pH values greater than 1.

In this study, thermodynamic properties of thiourea and its oxides are investigated by measuring their thermogravimetry (TG), differential thermogravimetry (DTG), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) simultaneously. Online FT-IR measurements show that products of the thermal decomposition vary significantly with the reaction temperature. In addition to the determination of their apparent activation energy (E), preexponential factor (A), and entropy (∆Sq), enthalpy (∆Hq), and Gibbs energy (∆Gq) of thermal decomposition, our investigation further illustrates that the decomposition kinetics of thiourea and thiourea oxides follows the Johnson-Mehl-Avrami Equation, f (R) ) n(1 -R)- [-ln(1 -R)]1-1/n and G(R) ) [-ln(1 -R)]1/n with n equal to 2, 3.43, and 3, respectively. 1.
