Theoretical Model of theKraft Pulping Process Quak Foo Lee Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering The University of British Columbia The Kraft Pulping Recipe Uniformity of ingredients Sufficient steaming of chips for complete air removal Good access of liquor to all chip surfaces Degree of Delignification Heating rate and time Maximum temperature Cooking time at that temperature Pulping outcome (kappa number, pulp yield, and product quality) Chemical Kinetics The reaction mechanisms form a very complex entity in Kraft pulping. The dissolution rates of lignin, carbohydrates and ot
