A simulation model for pulp bleaching has been created. The model will yield information of phenomena taking place during pulp bleaching, especially about reactions between lignin and bleaching chemicals that cause the pulp's brown color. The chemicals used in pulp bleaching are costly. In addition, water and energy are used in the bleaching process. With the help of the knowledge produced by the new model, pulp can be bleached more economically and in a more environmentally friendly way.
