The electrochemical mediation of oxygen delignification of pulp with a manganese polyol complex

A redox cycle involving a manganese gluconate complex and oxygen in an aqueous alkaline media was investigated for its ability to delignify chemical pulp. Current applied at a cathode was used to reduce the higher oxidation states of the manganese complex. The reaction of the manganese (II) and (III...
