Black liquor from a kraft mill is

  • A.evaporated and burned to recover chemicals
  • B.discharged to the effluent plant directly
  • C.used as a bleaching agent in the mill
  • D.sold on as a liquid fertiliser

Answer: A

Correct answer: evaporated and burned to recover chemicals

Black liquor carries the dissolved lignin and the spent cooking chemicals. Concentrated to about seventy per cent solids and burned in a recovery boiler, the organic content raises steam and the inorganic content leaves as a smelt of sodium carbonate and sodium sulphide. Over ninety-five per cent of the chemicals are recovered, and a kraft mill is usually a net exporter of energy as a result.
