Characterization of process streams in TMP and CTMP pulp mills
Samples of process streams were withdrawn at various positions at one groundwood, four thermomechanical (TMP) and two chemical thermomechanical (CTMP) lines in four different pulp mills. Samples were divided in fractions by size exclusion chromatography (SEC). Concentration of sugars in each fraction was determined by high-performance anion exchange chromatography. The separate, but close response
