The main purpose of the Extended Oxygen Delignification (EOD)
is to increase the efficiency of the fiber lines, using the
concept that the Oxygen delignification is the extension of
the process started at the cooking.
Nowadays it is known that the Oxygen offers a more selective
delignification then the cooking, since the operational conditions
(temperature, time, pressure, chemicals and its dosages) are
milder. As a result, for a same kappa number the pulp obtained
through the EOD process presents higher viscosity and, in
consequence better strength properties.
