The increasing occurrence of aluminosilicate caused complications in krafi pulp mills can be attributed to the closing of purge points and the expanded use of contaminated feedstocks and recycled fiber sources. An active purge of aluminum and silicon from the chemical recovery cycle must be undertaken in order to maintain...
Combustion properties of kraft black liquor solids were studied using a laminar entrained flow reactor. The tendency of black liquors to release fume (compounds containing Na⁺, K⁺, Cl⁻, SO₄²⁻, SO₃²⁻, S₂0₃²⁻ and C0₃²⁻) during combustion were observed at 1000°C. Black liquor solids with a size fraction of 63 to 100...
