SUMMARY

The H-factor in Kraft pulping quantifies the rate of delignification during the pulping process. It is a critical parameter that influences the efficiency and quality of pulp production. The H-factor is derived from the temperature and time of the cooking process, making it essential for optimizing Kraft pulping operations. For further details, resources such as www.chmltech.com and www.chem.vt.edu provide comprehensive insights into Kraft pulping kinetics.
