Pulp and Paper: Chemistry and Chemical Technology, Volume 2 (Pulp & Paper Vol. 2)

About the AuthorJAMES P. CASEY received his M.S. from Syracuse University Pulp and Paper School in 1947. Among his many affiliations, Mr. Casey has been Director of Applications Research for A.E. Staley Manufacturing Company, Vice President of Research and Development for Union Starch and Refining Company, and Vice President and Director of Research for Miles Laboratories. The author of many technical papers on starch and paper manufacture, he is presently a highly sought-after consultant.An in-depth look at the chemistry and chemical technology involved in the manufacture of pulp and paper, the properties of paper, and the uses for paper. This new edition contains contributions by forty recognized authorities in the field. Emphasizes the underlying science and technology and reviews, in detail, chemical and engineering principles. Includes numerous tables, illustrations, and a complete bibliography.From the PublisherAn in-depth look at the chemistry and chemical technology involved in the manufacture of pulp and paper, the properties of paper, and the uses for paper.

This long-awaited new edition uses the same approach as the two previous editions in updating the knowledge as it describes the chemistry and chemical technology involved in the manufacture of pulp and paper, the properties of paper, and the uses for paper. Several noteworthy differences do exist between the preceding editions and this new one. Whereas the earlier editions were written by a single author, this one has multiple authorship by approximately forty experts in their respective fields. James P. Casey, author of the earlier editions, acts as overall editor to ensure a continuation of the successful style. This edition has also been expanded to four volumes from the previous three, an increase necessitated by the larger body of knowledge in the field. Finally, this latest work emphasizes such modern concerns as: the reduction of the capital intensity; the reduction of the use of chemicals, energy, and water; the reduction in the envirornmental impact; the reduction of operating costs; the increase of automation; the more effective use of virgin fibers; the greater use of secondary fibers; and the employment of wood for multiple use as a source of energy and chemicals, as well as for fibers in papermaking. Topics discussed in this second volume include: fiber preparation and approach flow; fiber bonding; sheet formation and drying; nonwovens and papers from synthetic fibers; synthetic papers and pulps; water and air pollution; and microbiology. Also, many tables and illustrations of original data, as well as carefully selected published data, are included in all volumes of this edition. The well-prepared bibliography further enables the book to serve as a definitive reference. This work will be an invaluable reference for personnel in the pulp and paper industry and suppliers to that industry, as well as for the appropriate departments in universities and technological institutes.From the Back CoverOther volumes in the latest edition of Pulp and Paper: Chemistry and Chemical Technology, 3rd Ed.
