PURIFICATION (FROM METAL IMPURITY CATIONS) OF PROCESS EFFLUENT OF PULP PRODUCTION USING ELECTROCHEMICAL MEMBRANE TREATMENT USING AT LEAST TWO ION PERMEABLE MEMBRANES BETWEEN WHICH IS AT LEAST ONE EFFLUENT COMPARTMENT
PURIFICATION (FROM METAL IMPURITY CATIONS) OF PROCESS EFFLUENT OF PULP PRODUCTION USING ELECTROCHEMICAL MEMBRANE TREATMENT USING AT LEAST TWO ION PERMEABLE MEMBRANES BETWEEN WHICH IS AT LEAST ONE EFFLUENT COMPARTMENT
This invention is related to a process for producing pulp from a cellulosic starting material, wherein an aqueous process effluent is purified from metal impurity cations. This process comprises that the effluent is purified by an electrochemical membrane treatment in an electrochemical membrane device comprising a unit cell through which an electric current is passed between an anode side and a cathode side of said cell, said cell comprising at least two ion permeable membranes forming between them at least one compartment, said effluent being fed into an effluent feed compartment in said cell, in which the effluent is purified by removing with the electric current metal impurity cations from the effluent through a cation selective membrane on the cathode side of said compartment, and withdrawing from said compartment the purified effluent. The purified effluent may be recirculated to the pulp mill process, e.g. as washing water.
