The effect of dead load chemicals in the kraft pulping and recovery system
The primary dead load chemicals are sodium carbonate from incomplete conversion during causti - cizing, and sodium sulfate from low reduction efficiency in the recovery boiler, but thiosulfate and chloride also are potentially important. The difference between a low and high dead load operation migh...
