Methanol emission in pulp mills has been an environmental concern. the cluster Rule now requires the control of methanol emission in pulp mills. We describe the methanol formation mechanisms during pulping, evaporation of black liquor, and in black liquor storage tanks in this study. We conducted laboratory pulping studies in a batch digester to quantify the methanol formation during pulping. Based on our laboratory experiments. We found that about 75
