Abstract

A process and apparatus for treating and particularly bleaching pulp contacts a pulp with a gaseous reaction medium in a reactor tower. The pulp is fluffed and refined before being added to the pulp bed and then homogeneously permeated with the gaseous reaction medium to produce a uniformly treated pulp. A distribution device is included in the reactor to uniformly distribute the pulp in the reactor and form a homogenous pulp bed having a substantially even upper surface and uniform bed depth.
