Essay
19. The pulp and paper industry is a major employer in many small towns in Northern Ontario and other
provinces. Some of the by-products of the pulp process include short chain carboxylic acids such as propanoic
and butanoic acid. These are produced in quantities large enough that the strong odour produced by these
acids in local streams from waste water causes concern among town residents. As an organic chemist, devise
two strategies to deal with this problem and show appropriate reactions. Both strategies should include 1)
containment and 2) treatment. (6 marks)

ESSAY
19. ANS:
- do not dump the 'waste' water directly into the streams but place in holding lagoons
- in this way, the water can be treated before being released into streams
-
carboxylic acids can be reduced into biodegradable alcohols
carboxylic acids can be reacted with alcohols selected to make esters which do not have foul odours and
are inviting to bacteria which will consume them
react the carboxylic acids with a base to make an insoluble salt which can be removed from the bottom of
the lagoon, and the clear water on top can be released into the stream
