Analytical and structural studies were done on different types of alkaline pulps and their isolated residual lignins. Although having the same degree of delignification after cooking, some pulps were easier to bleach than others. All isolated residual lignins were found to contain β-aryl ether (β-O-4) structures in reasonable amounts when analysed by thioacidolysis (≥10 % of the native lignin value). At decreasing kappa numbers, there was also a corresponding decrease in the amount of β-aryl ether structures in the residual lignin. Moreover, a high β-aryl ether content in the unbleached residual lignin after cooking was found to contribute to a better bleachability of the pulp, especially when hydrogen peroxide stages were involved. At the same degree of delignification, the superior bleachability of alkaline sulfite pulps over kraft pulps was shown to be attributable to a higher content of β-aryl ether linkages in the former type of pulps.
