Ozone bleaching has been extensively studied in laboratory and pilot scale. It has been proved that at low consistencies, i.e. less than 5 %, ozone dissolves well in water and thus good transfer of substance between the ozone and the fibers in the water is achieved. On the other hand, it has been discovered that the ozone, being a gaseous substance, reacts well also directly with a fiber surface which, however, presupposes that the consistency of the suspension is over 25 %. Further, it has been discovered that in the intermediate range between said consistencies ozone cannot satisfactorily contact the fibers. However, both environmental and pumping factors determine the operation to be carried out at that particular intermediate consistency range of 5 to 25 %. A characteristic feature of the method of the present invention, which avoids the disadvantages of prior art methods and permits operation at the consistency range of 5 to 25 %, is that cellulose pulp is pumped with a high- consistency pump to a fluidizing mixer in which O2 /O3 gas is introduced and mixed into the pulp so as to generate foam in which the fibers in the pulp and the ozone used as the bleaching agent are brought to contact with each other, and that the pulp is discharged from the mixer to a reaction vessel.
