  • Description: Based on the foregoing observations, the tert-butyl alcohol effect cannot be because of a chemical action. That conclusion is consistent with the tert-butyl alcohol dosage by gas phase chromatography in the liquid phase before and after ozonation. Nevertheless, the observation of smaller gas bubbles during the ozonation with tert-butyl alcohol compared to the blank, turned our attention to the ozone transfer study [8]. Determination of the coefficient kl.a--which is a product of the ozone transfer factor by the exchange specific area--shows that tert-butyl alcohol brings this value from 6.210'Symbol not transcribed'-2 S'Symbol not transcribed'-1 in the blank to 13.810'Symbol not transcribed'-2 S'Symbol not transcribed'-1 at 0C and from 5.810'Symbol not transcribed'-2 S'Symbol not transcribed'-1 in the blank to 23.810'Symbol not transcribed'-2 S'Symbol not transcribed'-1 at 25C. At the same time, the ozone saturation concentration is slightly increased. Abstract: Instead of chlorinated agents, oxygen, ozone and hydrogen peroxide make up the new bleaching-sequence roots. In this research field, the reported investigations are devoted to ozone-stage improvements by adding organic oxygenates. Many alcohols and acids known as radical scavengers succeed in increasing ozone reactivity, efficiency and selectivity at low consistency. Among the tested additives, tert-butyl alcohol shows an outstanding effect due to its hydrodynamic role in the ozone transfer. Even if the tert-butyl alcohol concentration is reduced to a large extent, the ozone transfer rise involves better access to the lignin, and the efficiency and selectivity increase. Finally, the bleaching sequences OZEZP and EZEZP including the modified Z stage carried out with a reasonable ozone charge, manage to reach high brightness values with good carbohydrate protection.
