Abstract

A method for treating lignin containing pulp, subsequent to being bleached by: a) always treated with at least one chemical, which chemically reduces .alpha.-carbonyl and .gamma.-carbonyl groups in the lignin; and in at least one further step is b) treated with at least one chemical, which will block the phenolic hydroxyl groups of the lignin and/or c) supplied with at least one chemical, which will convert short-wave light quanta to long-wave light quanta. According to a preferred embodiment of the invention cellulose pulp is subjected to all of the above treatment processes, i.e. a)+b)+c) and is washed after the two initial treatment stages. The method solves the problem of yellowing of lignin containing pulps, e.g. high yield pulp.
