Pulp bleaching is usually accomplished using a series of chemical treatments. The chemicals and the order in which they are used make up a "bleaching sequence." One of the main goals of bleaching is to mitigate the environmental impact it has on the environment. This course will focus on the environmental concerns associated with pulp bleaching including water and energy use, resource conservation, air emissions, and wastewater quality.
