Environmental Solutions for the Pulp and Paper Industry: For the Pulp and Paper Industry (Pulp & Paper Focus Book)

Environmental issues such as dioxins, air toxics, and limited landfill space have not only altered how mills treat these emissions at "the end of the pipe," but also have spurred changes in pulping and papermaking. For example, extended cooking methods, new bleaching techniques, and increased firing of sludge in boilers have all come about, in part, because of environmental concerns. This book provides expert insight on four major subjects: (1) environmental permitting and planning; (2) advances in effluent technology; (3) air emission control; (4) solid waste handling and minimization.
