	  abstract     = {All around the world pulp and paper industries are the
biggest plant production with the environmental pollution as the
biggest challenge facing the pulp manufacturing operations. The
concern among these industries is to produce a high volume of papers
with the high quality standard and of low cost without affecting the
environment. This result obtained from this bleaching study show
that the activation of peroxide was an effective method of reducing
the total applied charge of chlorine dioxide which is harmful to our
environment and also show that softwood and hardwood Kraft pulps
responded linearly to the peroxide treatments. During the bleaching
process the production plant produce chlorines. Under the trial stages
chloride dioxide has been reduced by 3 kg/ton to reduce the
brightness from 65% ISO to 60% ISO of pulp and the dosing point
returned to the E stage charges by pre-treating Kraft pulps with
hydrogen peroxide. The pulp and paper industry has developed
elemental chlorine free (ECF) and totally chlorine free (TCF)
bleaching, in their quest for being environmental friendly, they have
been looking at ways to turn their ECF process into a TCF process
while still being competitive. This prompted the research to
investigate the capability of the hydrogen peroxide as catalyst to
reduce chloride dioxide.},
