pulping, bleaching, preparation paper making, paper is formed (refer to Figure 1 in Appendix 1). Firstly, the fiber is harvested from timberland. In general, harvesting during the dormancy yields the most papermaking fiber. The collection of fiber supply originates from three main sources of plant fiber used in papermaking: wood chips, sawdust and old corrugated containers. During this stage, paper industry converts cellulose fiber into pulps. About 95% of fiber is extracted from the wood which is
steps, we use paper of a daily basis. We use paper for businesses, licenses, educational purposes, money and many other applications. However, to create a perfect piece of paper, many complex steps have to be completed, to ensure that the gathered wood is properly converted into paper. The history of paper goes back to 105 AD in China. During those times, sheets of paper were created, using tree bark and vegetation. The following era of papermaking continued in the medieval era. In the medieval era
Pennsylvania with papermaking plants and wood yard located throughout the United States. Glatfelter also has international operations in Germany, France, United Kingdom, Canada and the Philippines. The Chillicothe plant is a pulp and papermaking plant. Essentially it is two plants in one since pulp and papermaking are sometimes separated. The papermaking process begins with pulp. Pulp is cellulosic fibrous material extracted from cellulosic fiber from wood. Glatfelter uses the Kraft Process to make
filtration is good for heavy metal removal. Ozonation is very useful in pulp wastewater treatment. This process can convert COD to BOD. Many chemical compounds are sensitive to ozonation process. So this process can have a large impact in decrease the concentration of AOX in pulp wastewater and other colored/colorless chemical compounds.

Paper Recycling Paper recycling is the process of mixing used paper with water and chemicals to break it down. This mixture is then chopped up and heated to breaks it down further into strands of cellulose called pulp or slurry. It then strained through screens which remove any glue or plastic that may still be in the mixture. Finally it is cleaned, de-inked, bleached, mixed with water and then it can be made into new recycled paper. Types of Paper 3 categories of paper which are used for making
are carried out. Fibre morphology and chemical compositions are good indicators of wood suitability for pulpwood. The chemical composition of pulpwood has significant influences on the pulping process and pulp quality. Major wood components include cellulose, hemicelluloses, lignin and extractives. Cellulose content determines the potential recovery or yield of pulp from wood. High cellulose content is always for pulp production. Cellulose is categorised into hemicelluloses and alpha-cellulose. Aalpha-cellulose
(H2O2), a colourless liquid usually produced as aqueous solutions of various strengths, used principally for bleaching cotton and other textiles and wood pulp, in the manufacture of other chemicals, as a rocket propellant, and for cosmetic and medicinal purposes. Solutions containing more than about 8 percent hydrogen peroxide are corrosive to the skin. First recognized as a chemical compound in 1818, hydrogen peroxide is the simplest member of the class of s. Of the several processes of manufacture

It was first discovered by burning barium salts to make barium peroxide. Barium peroxide is used for bleaching textiles. He realized that when you mixed barium peroxide with water it then
According to Martin Luther King Jr., “There are two types of laws: there are just and there are unjust laws” (King 293). During his time as civil rights leader, he advocated civil disobedience to fight the unjust laws against African-Americans in America. For instance, there was no punishment for the beatings imposed upon African-Americans or for the burning of their houses despite their blatant violent, criminal, and immoral demeanor. Yet, an African-American could be sentenced to jail for a
Introduction Environmental health has been a very important issue to talk about internationally these days. We, human beings are leading the earth toward its edge unconsciously. We are using natural resource more than we give to the Mother Nature. Day by Day, people are aware of what damage they do the environment, but they do not care of fixing this damage. In a very simple step, the road of a better healthy environment will begin; recycling is the best idea that illustrate the previous point.
about Rs. 1.75 billion annually on forest related material. Several processes can be done on raw materials obtained from forests in order to increase their value. The pulp wood can be processed to make paper and paper based products. The export of these products will enhance earnings through foreign exchange for Pakistan. Timber wood can be used to make furniture. Hardwood can be used in heavy mechanical industries in order to make tools and/or parts of mechanical machineries. The export of these

Diapers come in forms of rainbow colors. Every year, billions of diapers are sold and consumed. Vast majority of the diapers that are sold every year are disposable ones. Disposable diapers are convenient and a common consumer product, but they pose many environmental and health risks. They are biodegradable products and it takes about five months for them to decompose. The absorbent gels and plastic components of disposables however, take 500 years to decompose. It is reported that every year about
Environmental pollution has been a major concern to many stakeholders due to the related adversities that are associated with the practice. Human beings in general are well known to like having comfort and convenience at the minimum costs possible. The results of this has been the focus on the short term gains with little or no thought spared for the long term consequences of our behavior. Environmental problems are usually long term and the solution to these problems will only be realized at a higher
We don't have to be a genius to be aware of global environmental mess we created over the years. The easiest thing we can do for our planet is recycling. Recycling is the process of turning used products-from household use, manufacturing and many others- into something profitable and advantageous and thereby reducing their negative effects on the environment to make the world a better place to live. We should all be living in a clean world and that is why a large part of the society recycles
Introduction Over the years, there has been concern over the fats shifting weather pattern occasioned by the global warming. Extreme and erratic weather conditions have been experienced in almost every part of the world. This essay will review the literature that is available on the definition of Global warming, the causes of global warming, effects of global warming on the community and nations, what the government is doing to stop global warming, as well as what Non-Governmental Organizations
