The mixture of steam, pulp, and oxygen enters asecond reactor 134 viaconduit 132. Similar to thefirst reactor 118, the pulp insecond reactor 134 has a residence time sufficient to at least partially bleach the washed pulp via oxygen bleaching. - The discharge from the
second reactor 134 is fed into thesecond DD washer 138 viaconduit 136. Wash liquid (which may be filtrate) enters theDD washer 138 viaconduit 140. Filtrate exits theDD washer 138 viaconduit 108 and is recycled to thefirst DD washer 104. Washed and bleached cellulosic pulp exits thesecond DD washer 104 viaconduit 142. - A system has been developed to bleach pulp, preferably cellulosic pulp. The system may include at least two oxygen reactors for the oxygen bleaching of pulp. The system may include at least one washer (preferably a DD washer) that washes the bleached pulp after reaction in the second oxygen reactor. The system may further include a recycle conduit that recycles at least a portion of the filtrate exiting the washer. The recycle conduit may connect to a series of nozzles or to a mixer situated between two oxygen reactors. The series or nozzles or a mixer may mix the recycled filtrate with at least partially bleached pulp discharged from the first oxygen reactor and prior to introduction of the pulp in the second oxygen reactor.
- A method has been developed for the bleaching of pulp, preferably cellulosic pulp. The method may include: feeding pulp (preferably washed pulp) to a first oxygen reactor for bleaching the pulp to generate an at least partially bleached pulp; mixing the at least partially bleached pulp with a recycled filtrate to generate a pulp-filtrate mixture; feeding the pulp-filtrate mixture to a second oxygen reactor for bleaching the pulp-filtrate mixture to generate a further bleached pulp; introducing the further bleached pulp to a washer for washing the further bleached pulp; and removing filtrate from the washer to generate the recycled filtrate.

Moreover, it is contemplated that a series or two of more washers may substituted for asingle DD washer 204. - Filtrate recycled from another
DD washer 238 enters thefirst DD washer 204 viaconduit 203. The first DD washer 204 discharges filtrate viaconduit 206 and washed pulp viaconduit 210.

In certain embodiments, the pulp inreactor 234 has a residence time of 65 minutes or longer than the pulp residence time inreactor 218. The temperature (and other operational parameters) of the reaction occurring in thesecond reactor 234 may be controlled, at least in part, by themixer 221, the flowrate of filtrate inconduit 223, and the temperature (and pressure) of the filtrate inconduit 223. Other factors influencing the control of thesecond reactor 234 may include: the flowrate content and consistency of the partially bleached pulp inconduit 220 from thefirst reactor 218, and the flowrate of oxygen inconduit 230. - The pulp discharged from the
second reactor 234 is fed to thesecond DD washer 238 viaconduit 236. Wash liquid, which may be filtrate, enters thesecond DD washer 238 viaconduit 240.

The recycled filtrate (line 208) may be split into streams in addition to the ones illustrated inFIG. 2 . In alternative embodiments, the recycledfiltrate 203 is not returned toDD washer 204, and the filtrate inconduit 203 may be discarded or consumed elsewhere in the pulping process. Washed and bleachedcellulosic pulp 248 exits the second DD washer viaconduit 242. Thebleached pulp 248 may be further treated in additional bleaching processes and systems, similar to thesystem 200 illustrated inFIG. 2 . - Although the above embodiment is described in connection with two
reactors - Furthermore, process elements and design details, such as pumps, tanks, storage units, stand pipes, valves, heat exchangers, and other process elements not materially affecting the described systems and methods are not illustrated. These (and other) process elements merely tailor the particular configuration of the present invention to certain operation parameters. These details are a matter of design choice and necessity and are within the knowledge and abilities of ordinarily skilled artisans.
- While the invention has been described in connection with what is presently considered to be the most practical and preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that the invention is not to be limited to the disclosed embodiment, but on the contrary, is intended to cover various modifications and equivalent arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
