This is a small-scale research project that will be conducted to verify the concept of green liquor pretreatment enhanced kraft pulping before demonstration action. Department of Energy funding will be used in all areas of this four-year project, which will address the economic and energy hurdles surrounding a novel additive-enforced green liquor pretreatment pulping process. Research will be conducted in a laboratory setting in existing facilities available to Georgia Tech Research Corporation, North Carolina State University. Trials will be conducted at an existing kraft mill location. Equipment for temperature and for sulfur tracing studies will be purchased by Georgia Tech.
