This four volume set covers the entire spectrum of pulp and paper chemistry and technology from
starting material to processes and products including market demands. This work is essential
for all students of wood science and a useful reference for those working in the pulp and paper
industry or on the chemistry of renewable resources. Volume 2 focuses on creating an
understanding of the chemical and technical processes involved in the production of pulp. The
work treats wood handling i.e. barking chipping storage and screening processes chemistry
and technology during mechanical and chemical pulp production including pulping and bleaching
chemistry and technology production of bleaching chemicals at the mill recovery processes
including the treatment and burning of black liquor and the white liquor preparation plant
paper recycling processes changes in structure and properties of wood polymers and pulps in
the pulping process line description of the equipment and processes involved in the
manufacturing of pulp pulp characterization including methods available to evaluate pulp
properties end-product requirements.
