Paper production is as much about bleaches and solvents as it is about firs and spruces and, at a time when industry as a whole has become more environmentallysensitive, a better understanding of the chemical side of paper processing has become crucial to today's mill operations. The latest addition to AIChE's Forest Products Symposium Series addresses this information challenge by targeting some of the principal environmental and technical challenges in the pulp and paper industry, including such "chemical issues" as wood delignification and bleaching, black liquor combustion, and pulp refining.
The 18 papers in Further Advances in the Forest Products Industries cover such topics as oxygen delignification of Southern hardwoods, reducing VOCs from wood drying, and a new approach to the extraction stage of an organic solvent bleaching process. Of particular interest are three papers on the processing of recycled fibers: "Novel Approaches to Deinking of Xerographic and Laser-Printed Paper," "Repulping of Wet-Strength Poly-Coated Cartons Using Non-Chlorine Chemicals," and "Elemental Chlorine-Free and Totally Chlorine-Free Bleaching of Colored Broke."
