Abstract: Two basic mechanisms of displacement washing of pulp fibres were investigated. Experiments were carried out in a laboratory washing cell that simulated a single stage of displacement washing. The step-change method has been employed in investigation of alkali lignin profile in outlet stream of washing effluents. The addition of urea to wash water resulted in a decrease of the liquid layer immobilized on the fibre surface. It had a positive effect on the washing efficiency expressed in terms of the void local efficiency.

Keywords: pulp - washing - mechanism - modelling - urea
