In this two volume set, Dr. Herbert Sixta, head of the cellulose and viscose research department at Lenzing AG in Austria, has brought together a team of authors to produce the first comprehensive handbook on the market. Alongside the traditional aspects of pulping processes, pulp used in industry and paper pulps, this book describes all pulping processes used for paper and board manufacturing as well as waste liquor treatment, pulp bleaching and environmental aspects, while also covering pulp properties and applications.
From the content:
- Chemical Pulp
- Mechanical Pulp
- Recovered Paper and Recycled Fibers
- Analytical Characterization of Pulps
This handbook is essential reading for all chemists and engineers in the paper and pulp industry.
