LQ2 Paper Industry

Question 1

Increase in production over time

Answer 1

Supply

Question 2

Impacted by inconsistencies such as those in the raw wood and process
conditions that result in variation in the final product.

Answer 2

Mechanical Pulping

Question 3

Initial process, known as fiberisation, reduces the original wood
structure to a single fiber.
The primary goal is to produce single, long fibers with the least amount
of waste.

Answer 3

Fibersation

Question 4

the breakdown of a
portion of the entire fibers into fibrils and pieces of cell wall

Answer 4

Second stage: Fibrillation

Question 5

wall’s lamella’s bonding is mechanically disrupted as a
result of the repeated compression and relaxation of the fiber in water;
this results in the adsorption of the energy applied.

Answer 5

Second stage: Fibrillation

Question 6

typically result in superior pulp strength and paper quality compared to
mechanical methods

Answer 6

Chemical Pulping

Question 7

wood chips are digested at high temperatures in the range of 145-170°C
and pressure in “white liquor”

Answer 7

Kraft process
