Industrial brown pulps produced by the ITC and KobudoMARI cooking technologies, of kappa number and HexA's contents varying in the range of 10-21.7 and 23.2-56.7 mmol/kg, respectively, were collected in a period of 6 months and delignified with oxygen under fixed conditions. Kappa number was fractionated into lignin and hexenuronic acid and each fraction correlated with oxygen stage performance. It was concluded that O-stage efficiency, selectivity and yield does not correlate significantly with kappa number, lignin or hexenuronic acid contents for the ITC and KobudoMARI pulps at 5% of significance.87-97porHexenuronic acidLigninOxygen delignificationYield pulpOxygen stageStage efficiencyDelignificationFractionationOxygenPulp materialsHexenuronic AcidLigninsPulpsArtigoAcesso aberto2-s2.0-337501897672-s2.0-33750189767.pdf3238357061477589
