Papers, writing

Nonwood fibers are used in relatively small volumes. Examples of nonwood pulps and products include cotton Enters for writing paper and filters, bagasse for cormgated media, esparto for filter paper, or Manila hemp for tea bags. Synthetic pulps which are based on such materials as glass (qv) and polyolefins also are used (see Olefin polymers). These pulps are relatively expensive and usually are used in blends with wood pulps where they contribute a property such as tear resistance, stiffness, or wet strength which is needed to meet a specific product requirement. [Pg.1]

Secondary Fiber. Increasing costs of taw fiber, legislative mandates for recycling (qv), and avadabdity of inexpensive waste papers have contfibuted to the increased use of recycled fibers. The use of secondary fiber in the United States has grown from 22% of pulp from all sources in 1978 to close to 31% (24 x 10 metric tons) in 1993 (3). Recycled fibers ate sometimes used in special writing papers, but the principal use is for the manufacture of linetboatd, newsprint, tissue, cereal boxes, towels, and molded paper products such as paper plates and egg cartons (see Packaging materials, containers AND INDUSTRIAL materials). [Pg.248]

As with textiles the principal reasons for the coloring paper are for aesthetic appearance and utihtarian purposes. Aesthetic appearance includes colored background for printed material, colored writing papers, colored household products to harmonize with interior decor, and many other diverse uses dictated by individual tastes. Utihtarian purposes include identification of multicopy forms, identification of manufacturer or marketer of specific materials or products, opaqueness or hiding power of packaged material, or to control consistency of paper manufactured from various colored raw materials. [Pg.374]

The paper and allied products industry comprises three types of facilities pulp mills that process raw wood fiber or processed fiber to make pulp paper and board mills that manufacture paper or board and converting facilities that use these primary materials to manufacture more specialized products such as writing paper, napkins, and other tissue products. The process of converting paper is not a source of water or air pollution, as is the case for the first two facilities. This chapter focuses primarily on the greatest areas of environmental concern within the pulp and paper industry those from pulping processes. [Pg.858]

The pulp and paper industry produces primary products—commodity grades of wood pulp, printing and writing papers, sanitary tissue, industrial-type papers, containerboard, and boxboard— using cellulose fiber. The two steps involved are pulping and paper or paperboard manufacturing. [Pg.859]

The pulps obtained from chemical pulping are brown in colour and, whilst suitable for many applications, are unsuitable for printing and writing papers which require a bright white pulp. Both chemical and mechanical pulps often require bleaching for many end uses. The colour of these pulps is mainly due to residual lignin ( 3—6%, see Table 2.2 in Chapter 2) although products derived from carbohydrate may also make a contribution. The approach to removal of colour is different in each case. [Pg.48]

Writing paper was first used in Egypt as far back as 2500-2000 BC, made from the papyrus reed. Paper manufacture began in China about AD 105. In 1690 the first American paper mill began its operation. Two recent dates of importance to modem paper technology are 1867, when Tilghman in the U.S. developed the sulfite process, and 1884, when Dahl in Germany discovered the kraft or sulfate process. [Pg.399]

Have you ever met a person who used very sophis-tioated vocabulary Perhaps you and others had a hard time even following what this person was saying. Or, maybe you understood him fine, but were totally turned off by his pretentious style. It s the same with writing papers. In this lesson, you will learn some ways to make sure your writing is clear and concise, so others can follow your message and not be turned off by a complex style. [Pg.114]

I still thought that most media people were acting in good faith to educate the public, so I decided to try to write papers for j oumals serving the journalism profession, like the Columbia Journalism Review, explaining how they were misinforming the public about nuclear power. I submitted two such papers to three such j oumals in turn. Neither was published. One-sentence letters of rejection, with no explanation, arrived within a few days. [Pg.168]
