Modern Operations in Pulping and Bleaching

The pulp and paper industry is one of the world's most essential and enduring manufacturing sectors, producing materials that touch nearly every aspect of daily life. At its core, the industry is built on complex engineering processes that transform wood into pulp and, ultimately, into paper products.

Modern Operations in Pulping and Bleaching: A Paper Engineering Primer provides a clear and practical guide to these processes, covering the critical steps from wood preparation through pulping, recovery, and bleaching. Designed for students of Paper Science & Engineering, this book emphasizes the calculations, concepts, and operations that underpin industrial practice.

Drawing on years of teaching and professional experience, the authors present the material in an accessible, problem-solving format that bridges theory with application. Laboratory exercises and worked examples reinforce learning and prepare readers to engage with real-world challenges in mill operations.

Key Features: - A practical, calculation-driven introduction to pulp and paper operations - Coverage of the entire process, from raw material to bleaching - Designed as a teaching resource for undergraduate and graduate students - Suitable for both classroom learning and industry reference
