By Christopher Biermann, Oregon State University
Description In its Second Edition, Handbook of Pulping and Papermaking is a comprehensive reference for industry and academia. The
book offers a concise yet thorough introduction to the process of papermaking from the production of wood chips to the final testing
and use of the paper product. The author has updated the extensive bibliography, providing the reader with easy access to the pulp and
paper literature. The book emphasizes principles and concepts behind papermaking, detailing both the physical and chemical processes.
