Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

Term used
Definition
ADt
Air Dry tonnes (of pulp) expressed as 90 % dryness.
AOX
Adsorbable organic halides measured according to the EN ISO: 9562 standard method for waste waters.
BOD
Biochemical oxygen demand. The quantity of dissolved oxygen required by microorganisms to decompose organic matter in waste water.
CMP

CTMP
Chemithermomechanical pulp.
COD
Chemical oxygen demand; the amount of chemically oxidisable organic matter in waste water (normally referring to analysis with dichromate oxidation).
DS
Dry solids, expressed as weight %.
DTPA
Diethlyene triamine pentaacetic acid (complexing/chelating agent used in peroxide bleaching).
ECF
Elemental Chlorine Free.
EDTA
Ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (complexing/chelating agent).
H2S
Hydrogen sulphide.
LWC
Light weight coated paper.
NOX
The sum of nitrogen oxide (NO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2), expressed as NO2.
NSSC

RCF
Recycled fibres.
SO2
Sulphur dioxide.
TCF
Totally Chlorine Free.
Total nitrogen (Tot-N)
Total nitrogen (Tot-N) given as N, includes organic nitrogen, free ammonia and ammonium (NH4 +-N), nitrites (NO2 --N) and nitrates (NO3 --N).
Total phosphorus (Tot-P)
Total phosphorus (Tot-P) given as P, includes dissolved phosphorus plus any insoluble phosphorus carried over into the effluent in the form of precipitates or within microbes.
