Use of fly ash to treat spent liquor from a thermomechanical pulping process
The spent liquor (SL) of a thermomechanical pulping (TMP) process introduces a high load to the wastewater system of this process. To reduce this load, fly ash from a biomass boiler is used for removing lignin from the SL, and also for decreasing the chemical oxidation demand (COD) and turbidity of the SL.
