In April 2008, The Times explained how U.S. paper producers have benefited from a subsidy aimed at promoting the use of alternative fuels: For decades, pulp companies have burned a wood byproduct… … Dictionary of unconsidered lexicographical trifles
Black liquor — A by product of the paper production process, alkaline spent liquor, that can be used as a source of energy. Alkaline spent liquor is removed from the digesters in the process of chemically pulping wood. After evaporation, the residual black… … Energy terms
Sulfite process — The sulfite process produces wood pulp which is almost pure cellulose fibers by using various salts of sulfurous acid to extract the lignin from wood chips in large pressure vessels called digesters. The salts used in the pulping process are… … Wikipedia
Pulp mill — or non bleached, depending on the customer requirements.Wood and other plant materials used to make pulp contain three main components (apart from water): cellulose fibres (desired for papermaking), lignin (a three dimensional polymer that binds… … Wikipedia
