The Distribution of Chlorine in Chlorinated Kraft Pulp Fibers from Spruce Wood as Determined by Tem-Edxa

Abstract
The chlorine contents in different morphological regions of chlorinated spruce kraft pulp fibers were determined by the TEM-EDXA technique. Observations were made before and after extraction with aqueous NaOH. The highest chlorine content was found in a spot in the cell comer primary wall. In the primary wall between the cell comers the chlorine content was lower than that at the cell comer but higher than that in the secondary wall. After the extraction stage, there was a low and approximately equal concentration of chlorine in all the morphological regions studied.
