Abstract: By a new method for the fastening of pelts stretched on pelt-boards, the belt is secured in a stretched position on the pelt-board by means of a sleeve/bag which is drawn over and around the pelt, so that the pelt is pressed in and locked against the pelt-board by means of the sleeve/bag. The method gives rise to the need for the pelts to be stretched out longer on the pelt-board than has hitherto been possible without damaging the pelts, inasmuch as the pelts will have a tendency to shrink slightly more when they are not fastened to the pelt-board by means of the staples traditionally used. During the stretching of the pelt in a pelt processing machine, by imparting a vibrating movement to the pelt-board and/or the gripping elements while implementing the relative displacement in the longitudinal direction of the pelt-board respectively between the holding elements for the fastening of the pelt, and the first and/or second set of gripping elements for the stretching of the pelt, for example a mink pelt placed loosely beforehand on the pelt-board, it is achieved that the pelt can be stretch out to the desired length without damage to the pelt.

Abstract: The invention relates to an improvement in bleaching of kraft pulp. In ECF bleaching chlorine dioxide is most often a prefered bleaching chemical in certain process positions. The disadvantage is that residual amounts of organically bound chlorine in form of AOX, i.e organically bound chlorine in effluents, and/or OCl, i.e. chlorine organically bound in the produced pulp, is obtained. A normal approach has been to reduce charges of chlorine dioxide. According to the invention could substantial reductions in AOX levels be obtained if the process conditions in the chlorine dioxide stage elevated to above 91 DEG C and extended to more than 90 minutes. A major reduction of AOX up to 50% have been shown without a corresponding increase in OCI. The chlorinated substances is degraded by the process conditions to harmless chloride ions, instead of being liberated into the effluent as AOX or bound to pulp as OCl. <IMAGE>
