ABSTRACT Acid hydrogen peroxide catalyzed with molybdenum (PMo stage) is effective to decrease pulp kappa number and poten- tially minimize chlorine dioxide demand in subsequent ECF bleaching. This study aimed at developing cost-effective methods for applying PMo as the first stage bleaching for eucalyptus kraft pulp and evaluating their impact on pulp properties and effluent quality in relation to current ECF bleaching techniques. The PMo (EP)DP and A/PMo(EP)DP sequences proved to be most cost-effective for PMo stage application. The pulp properties and effluent quality derived from bleaching with these two sequences were compared with those of the conventional bleaching with the D HT (EP)DP sequence. The PMo(EP)DP sequence produced pulp of refinability and physical properties similar to that of the refer- ence but the A/PMo(EP)DP one resulted in pulp of 20% lower refinability and 10% lower tearing strength.
