A method of bleaching a chemical pulp with a gaseous bleaching agent by uniformly impregnating the pulp with a solvent for lignin and that is fully miscible with water but does not significantly swell cellulose so that the availability, of lignin to the bleaching agent is significantly improved, then subjecting the impregnated pulp to the action of the bleaching agent to preferentially attack the lignin for its subsequent solubilization and separation from the pulp.
