Assertion (A): Bleaching demand is estimated from the kappa number of the unbleached pulp.
Reason (R): The number measures the residual lignin, which is what the bleaching chemicals attack.

  • A.Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A
  • B.A is true but R is false
  • C.A is false but R is true
  • D.Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A

Answer: D

Both are true and the reason gives the connection: cooking to a lower kappa costs yield, so the mill trades cooking against bleaching to reach the brightness it needs at least cost. Cooking too hard damages the fibres as well.
