BOOK
Handbook of Pulping & Papermaking, Second Edition
by Christopher J. Biermann
1996, 732 pages, 7" x 10 1/4" hard cover
Order Number: 08APESS
ISBN: 0-12-097362-6
This second edition replaces the book...Essentials of Pulping and Papermaking. This textbook
will be useful to students and papermakers alike as it emphasizes the principles of pulp and
paper processes. In addition, it is also valuable as a comprehensive guide to current pulp and
paper literature. The text includes information on key areas of paper chemistry and optical
properties, wood and fiber anatomy, paper use, and processing equipment, including a useful
pump troubleshooting guide. The first eleven chapters provide an introduction to the entire
mill, while the rest of the book provides details on topics relating to the production and use of
paper.
This book is not to be confused with the "Handbook for Pulp & Paper Technologists" ( "The
Smook Book").
