Hydrogen peroxide and caustic soda: Dancing with a dragon while bleaching, TAPPI JOURNAL July 2013
Authors: Peter W. Hart; Carl Houtman; and Kilby Hirth | ABSTRACT: When hydrogen peroxide is mixed with caustic soda, an auto-accelerating reaction can lead to generation of significant amounts of heat and oxygen. On the basis of experiments using typical pulp mill process concentration and temperatures, a relatively simple kinetic model has been developed. Evaluation of these model results reveals that hydrogen peroxide-caustic soda systems are extremely sensitive to hydrogen peroxide:caustic soda ratio, transition metal contamination, and temperature. Small changes in initial conditions can result in a closed system becoming explosive. Analysis of model results was used to develop guidelines for safer application of hydrogen peroxide in a mill setting.

Gap mechanics in pulp refiners, TAPPI Journal June 2025
ABSTRACT: Studies of pulp refining have shown that a single bar impact on pulp has only a 1%•5% probability of producing a successful refining effect. This study has explored the reason why. An analysis of refining kinetics suggested that small segments of a fiber length, about a fiber diameter in size, are treated during each impact. Measurements of localized swelling along fiber lengths caused by refining supported this finding. Based on these findings, it was postulated that force transmittal through fiber networks occurred primarily at fiber crossings. The small size of fiber diameters relative to fiber lengths accounts for the low probability of a successful refining event at each impact. This probability, and the probability of fibers being captured and impacted during passage through a refiner, account for the need for multiple bar crossings to refine pulps.
