Merge

I agree with the proposed merge of this page with the article on kraft process. Black liquor is a very limited topic by itself (at least for a non-specialized work like Wikipedia) and is covered completely in the kraft process article.Silverchemist 04:10, 12 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If there is a bottle neck in the soap skimming you may use an emusion breaker to get more soap ut of the black liquor. This reduces foam in the evaporation stages and also makes the acidulator run better. Normally it is easier to run the recovery boiler with less soap in the black liquor, even though you loose some of the burning value. Langbein Rise (talk) 09:21, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Article Relevance/Tone

The Black Liquor subject is of current political importance and should remain as a separate entry. Also, its tone as written sounds generally slanted towards the industry's view and is not seen as neutral. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.32.163.93 (talk) 06:32, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I came to this article expecting it to be about the chemical make-up of black liquor, and its place in the chemical process of paper manufacture, which would be, in my view, appropriate for a wiki article that is meant to be about a chemical used in a manufacturing process. What I find here instead is an article about politics. I don't think the content is relevant, regardless of "who's side" the article is on. It should be more informative about the substance itself, not its politics. 216.163.78.38 (talk) 20:37, 7 April 2010 (UTC)knowledge seeker[reply]

It is difficult to speak about black liquor without touching political sides as it have been a major pollutant from pulp mills. Concering whos the side the article representing: black liquor is now a minor pullutant and a valuable source of raw materials / energy. The composition of the black liquor will vary much from mill to mill depending on wood furnish and how the mill is run, therefor it is difficult to give exact compositions. If you care to read the article there are a general description of the composition with links to other articles.

SURELY all articles shoudl cover the social sciences and cultural aspects if they are significant? And politics falls into that. Just as with oil or gold - the simple chemical uses and properties are not enough. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.231.178.239 (talk) 10:15, 13 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

First sentence is hard to read

I don't know if it's missing a comma or has an incomplete clause, but it is hard to understand the very first sentence. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.199.97.149 (talk) 18:07, 23 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
