Chemical pulping technology (5 cr)

Objective

You know the potential of different fibers as raw materials for chemical pulp, familiarize yourself with the most common delignification methods, and more specifically, the sulphate pulp production.
You know the unit processes of the fiber line and the chemical regeneration and their impact on the quality of the end product, as well as the keys to economical, safe and environmentally friendly pulp processing.

Content
