20090205795Combined process of peroxide bleaching of wood pulps and addition of optical brightening agents - A process for improving optical properties of high-yield pulp (HYP) for producing paper products with superior brightness. Optical brightening agents (OBAs) can effectively improve the optical properties of high-yield pulp (HYP).
