               subjecting a chemical paper pulp to a sequence of                      
          treatment steps including purification prior to a final stage               
          so that its manganese content does not exceed 3 ppm by weight               
          with respect to the solids, and delignification prior to a                  
          final stage to a kappa number (measured according to the SCAN               
          standard C1-59) not exceeding 5, said sequence of treatment                 
          stages thereafter including a final stage with hydrogen                     
          peroxide in an alkaline medium, said final stage with hydrogen              
          peroxide carried out in the presence of at least one                        
          stabilising agent, at a consistency of at least 25% by weight               
          of solids.
