Abstract

The impact of hypochlorous acid (HOCl) treatment on a fully bleached eucalyptus kraft pulp was studied with respect to the final brightness as well as the brightness reversion under humid ageing conditions. The carbonyl contents in the pulps were determined by the CCOA method where carbazole-9-carboxylic acid [2-(2-aminooxethoxy)-ethoxy] amide (CCOA) was applied as the carbonyl-selective fluorescence label. The molecular weight distribution of cellulose and hemicelluloses was analyzed as well. The amount of carbonyl groups in pulp was observed to increase significantly after the HOCl treatment, and the carbonyl distribution in pulp to shift towards the low molecular weight fraction. Plotting the carbonyl content against the post color number (PCN) of the pulps revealed a linear correlation. Additionally, the effect of the hemicellulose content was investigated, and alkaline extraction was applied to partially remove the hemicelluloses in pulp. These hemicellulose-poor samples showed a lower reactivity with hypochlorous acid and less brightness reversion at equal carbonyl content.
