The development work w i t h regard t o a p p l i c a t i o n of DDS-RO(1) membrane filtration systems f o r treatment of e f f l u e n t s from the pulp and paper i n d u s t r y s t a r t e d in Norway in the beginning of 1972. Both l a b and pilot trials were s u c c e s s f u l and a Norwegian patent (2) was granted f o r s e p a r a t i o n of l i g n o s u l f o n a t e from spent sulfite l i q u o r (SSL) by ultrafiltration ( U F ) . In 1974 a major Norwegian manufacturer of lignin products s t a r t e d r e g u l a r p r o d u c t i o n of U F - l i g n o s u l f o n a t e s . The p l a n t has been expanded s e v e r a l times and today the p r o d u c t i o n is some thousand tons per year of product. A c o o p e r a t i o n agreement was made in 1973 between DDS-RO and the F i n n i s h Pulp and Paper Research Institute w i t h the aim t o develop products and processes on the b a s i s o f membrane filtration of e f f l u e n t s from the pulp and paper i n d u s t r y . The coopera t i o n w i t h Dr. Kaj Forss' s e c t i o n a t FPPRI has been very s u c c e s s f u l . For i n s t a n c e , through an extensive development program UF has been found t o be a f e a s i b l e t o o l f o r the p r e p a r a t i o n of lignin f o r the Karatex (3) plywood binder. This adhesive, which is made from ultrafiltered spent sulfite l i q u o r (SSL) o r kraft b l a c k l i q u o r (KBL), can be used f o r partial replacement of the much more expensive petroleum based phenol-formaldehyde r e s i n i n plywood and other wooden boards. The Swedish Company EKA and DDS-RO have worked together on a 2-year l a r g e s c a l e pilot o p e r a t i o n in a Swedish k r a f t mill for c o l o r removal from c a u s t i c e x t r a c t i o n bleach e f f l u e n t by UF (4). The r e s u l t s of the program were s u c c e s s f u l both w i t h regard to c o l o r removal efficiency, reliability and membrane lifetime and the first full s c a l e installation will be made t h i s year in Japan. With the i n c r e a s i n g f u e l p r i c e s , it becomes more and more important t o f i n d energy efficient c o n c e n t r a t i o n methods f o r industrial e f f l u e n t s . H y p e r f i l t r a t i o n (HF).also c a l l e d r e v e r s e osmosis is in s e v e r a l cases the most f a v o r a b l e method.

Membrane filtration has been in o p e r a t i o n f o r more than five years on a commercial s c a l e in the pulp and paper inContinuous, m u l t i - s t a g e p l a t e and frame based systems are being used f o r purification, and molecular distribution c o n t r o l of l i g n o s u l f o n a t e from spent sulfite l i q u o r and preconc e n t r a t i o n of weak spent sulfite l i q u o r before evaporation. Larger s c a l e , long term pilot operations w i t h the s i m i l a r systems f o r s e p a r a t i o n of lignin from k r a f t b l a c k l i q u o r and c o l o r removal from bleach p l a n t e f f l u e n t s are going on successa d v i s i n g new and comprehensive a p p l i c a t i o n s f o r membrane filtration process in this i n d u s t r y . The aspect of saving fossile energy is a common f e a t u r e of most such operations as hyperfiltration i s typical low energy c o n c e n t r a t i o n method and the lignin products in many cases r e p l a c e petroleum based chemicals.
