ABSTRACT A method of delignifying comminuted cellulosic fibrous material (paper pulp) at a consistency of about 30-45% employing ozone as the active bleaching component, and capable of utilizing a variety of different reactor designs. In each case the paper pulp is fluffed and ozone gas is added to it, and the pulp is maintained in contact with the ozone containing gas while it is tumbled to keep it loose, and homogenous, with a high surface area to volume ratio. The reactor may be just below a fluffer, or the pulp may be pneumatically conveyed to the reactor. The reactor may include a screw having lifters on the screw flights, or paddles extending radially outwardly from the screw shaft; or a short screw section may be provided only adjacent the pulp inlet and radially extending paddles provided along the rest of the length of the shaft. The paddle distal tips have a tangential velocity sufficient to impart a ballistic velocity to the pulp such that the arc described by the particles follows the arc of the vessel shell. Alternatively, tumbling may be provided by rotating a tubular reactor shell about an axis which slants downwardly with respect to the horizontal. Lifters may be provided extending inwardly from the inner circumferential periphery of the rotating shell. The lifters usually being provided just at the discharge end of the shell to lift the treated fluffed pulp into a discharge mechanism.
