Preface
Pulp is a fibrous material resulting from complex manufacturing processes that
involve the chemical and/or mechanical treatment of various types of plant material.
Today, wood provides the basis for approximately 90% of global pulp production,
while the remaining 10% originates from annual plants. Pulp is one of the
most abundant raw materials worldwide which is used predominantly as a major
component in the manufacture of paper and paperboard, and with increasing
importance also in the form of a wide variety of cellulose products in the textile,
food, and pharmaceutical industries.
The pulp industry is globally competitive and attractive from the standpoint of
sustainability and environmental compatibility. In many ways, this industry is an
ideal example of a desirable, self-sustaining industry which contributes favorably
to many areas of our daily lives. Moreover, there is no doubt that it will continue
to play an important role in the future.
Although the existing pulp technology has its origins in the 19th century, it has
still a very high potential of further innovations covering many areas of science.
Knowledge of the pulping processes has been greatly extended since Pulping Processes
– the unsurpassed book of Sven A. Rydholm – was first published in 1965.
Not only has the technology advanced and new technology emerged, but our
knowledge on structure–property relationships has also deepened considerably. It
is self-evident that the competitiveness of pulp and its products produced thereof
can only be maintained through continuous innovations at the highest possible
level.
A recent publication which comprised a series of 19 books on Papermaking
Science and Technology, and was edited by Johan Gullichsen and Hannu Paulapuro,
provided a comprehensive account of progress and current knowledge in pulping
and papermaking. The aim of the present book, however, is initially to provide a
short, general survey on pulping processes, followed by a comprehensive review
in certain specialized areas of pulping chemistry and technology. Consequently,
the book is divided into four part: Part I, Chemical Pulp; Part II, Mechanical Pulp;
Part III, Recovered Paper and Recycled Fibers; and Part IV, the Analytical Characterization
of Pulps.
In Part I, Chapter 2 and 3 describe the fundamentals of wood structure and
woodyard operations, whilst in Chapter 4 emphasis is placed on the chemistry
