Abstract

Bleach plant filtrates from Q (chelation) and D (chlorine dioxide) stages were treated for the removal of non-process elements (NPE's). The treatment included evaporation, precipitation and separation. More efficient NPE removal was obtained by applying the precipitation stage after rather than before evaporation. Depending on the requirements for NPE removal, concentration by evaporation at pH 6 may be sufficient for Q filtrate, as some NPE's precipitate during this treatment. Further reduction may be obtained by pH adjustment to 10. The D filtrate requires a precipitation stage after evaporation, or the filtrate may be evaporated at high pH (pH>10) in order to achieve efficient NPE removal.
