Abstract

A process for preparing pulp in a closed system by pre-cooking fibrous raw material in an alkaline aqueous solution of sodium carbonate or a mixture of sodium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate as the only alkaline ingredients at 90.degree.-190.degree. C, defibrating the pre-cooked material, pulping the defibrated material in an alkaline aqueous solution of sodium carbonate or a mixture of sodium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate as the only alkaline ingredients in a pressurized vessel at 90.degree.-170.degree. C in the presence of an oxygen-containing gas, subjecting waste liquor discharged from the pre-cooking and pulping steps to wet combustion to recover an alkaline aqueous substance and recycling the alkaline aqueous substance resulting from combustion to the pre-cooking and/or pulping steps.
