20110067829	MAINTENANCE OF SULFUR CONCENTRATION IN KRAFT PULP PROCESSES - Methods and apparatus for maintaining sulfur concentration in the chemical recovery cycle of a Kraft pulping process. A portion of the recovery boiler ash is dissolved, treated to remove solids, and combined with an acid to provide a solution. The recovery boiler ash may be dissolved directly in the acid. The acid may be effluent from a chlorine dioxide generator. The resulting solution is maintained in a fully dissolved state and subjected to an acid separation step to provide a sodium sulfate enriched phase, which may be used to maintain sulfur concentration in the Kraft pulping process, and a sulfuric acid phase. Chlorine ions can be separated with the sulfuric acid phase. The sulfuric acid phase can be recycled to the chlorine dioxide generator.	03-24-2011
