Alternatives <strong>to</strong> bleaching<br />

with hypochlorite<br />

Case illustration:<br />

Bleaching with hydrogen<br />

peroxide<br />

Concept In some companies, bleaching with sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) is still taking<br />

place. This agent is environmentally hazardous, partly because of <strong>the</strong> risk<br />

for formation of free chlorine and partly because of formation of chlorinated<br />

organic compounds in <strong>the</strong> waste-water. In many cases, bleaching with hydrogen<br />

peroxide could be done but <strong>the</strong> possibilities and consequences of this substitution<br />

should be judged in each case.<br />

Improvement potentials Reduction of environmental impacts.<br />

Relevance All companies doing hypochlorite bleaching.<br />
