This important reference forprofessionals in the pulp and paper industry details how to improvemanufacturing processes that not only cut down on the emission ofpollutants but also increase productivity and decrease costs.
Environmentally Friendly Production of Pulp and Paperguides professionals in the pulp and paper industry to implementthe internationally recognized process of Cleaner Production (CP).It provides updated information on CP measures in:
* Raw material storage and preparation
* Pulping processes (Kraft, Sulphite, and Mechanical)
* Bleaching, recovery, and papermaking
* Emission treatment and recycled fiber processing
In addition, the book includes a discussion on recent cleanertechnologies and their implementation status and benefits in thepulp and paper industry.
Covering every aspect of pulping and papermaking essential tothe subject of reducing pollution, this is a must-have for paperand bioprocess engineers, environmental engineers, and corporationsin the forest products industry.
