Abstract

White liquor produced from black liquor is partially or completed oxidized. The white liquor contains dregs that are utilized as a carbon based catalyst. Dregs are produced by separating the dregs from green liquor an intermediate product between the black liquor and the oxidized white liquor. After formation of the oxidized white liquor, the dregs are separated therefrom to form a waste dreg stream which can be recycled so that part of the dregs present within the dregs containing white liquor stream to be oxidized is contributed by the waste dreg stream.
