Chemical recovery at the kraft mill is the process whereby the valuable inorganic elements areextracted from spent kraft liquors and regenerated under their form effective to the cooking ofthe wood and energy is producted from the dissolved organic fraction. Many unit operations areinvolved, often poorly described. This work aims at a better understanding of the recovery processes.Reliable models describing the physical phenomena were proposed for each operation andimplemented as a computer algorithm. The whole chemical recovery unit was then simulated.
