Popa Valentin I. (ed.) Pulp Production and Processing: High-Tech Applications

2nd edition. — De Gruyter, 2020. — 415 p. — ISBN 978-3-11-065883-5.This book presents the aspects of cellulose obtained in correlation with its integration into the new concept of biorefining. The authors detail the individual steps of pulp manufacture as well as properties and fiber characterization techniques for paper, cellulose derivatives and processing by-products. This book is of interest to scientists and advanced students working in the fields of renewable resources and biorefining.Biorefining and the pulp and paper industry
