Pulp Bleaching: Principles and Practice

In a departure from the format of previous TAPPI monographs, the contents of this volume have been organized to give increased emphasis to subjects relating to bleach plant engineering, bleaching chemistry, and environmental issues. The goal is to encourage the use of the book by the academic and research communities, while still retaining its traditional usefulness to bleach plant designers, managers, and operating personnel. Contributions are arranged under seven headings following the introduction: raw materials; the chemistry of bleaching and brightness reversion; the technology of chemical pulp bleaching; and of mechanical pulp bleaching; bleach plant operations, equipment, and engineering; properties of bleached pulp; and pulp bleaching and the environment.
