I.
This process utilizes sodium sulphite cooking liquor which is
buffered with sodium carbonate or NaOH to neutralize the organic
acid liberated from the raw materials.
Cutting of raw material:
The non-woody raw materials
come in the precut state and cut into
small chips before the further
processing.

9. Dry & Wet Cleaning:
Wheat straw is collected from the storage and is then sent for the
dry cleaning. For this purpose air is blown into the raw material.
o
Dry wheat straw is then subjected to wet cleaning, which removes
the remaining dust particles.
o
Screening:
o
In most paper processes some type of
screening operation is required to remove
oversized and unwanted particles. Vibratory,
gravity and centrifugal separators used for
this process.

10. Digestion:
o As the raw material enters into the digester,
steam is introduced at the bottom and liquor
containing sodium sulphite is injected .
o It is revolved at 2.5 R.P.M and temperature
of 160-180oC is maintained
Blow tank:
o
The cooked material from the digester
is blown into a blow tank and then pumped to
centrifugal screen for the separation of cooked
from uncooked materials.

11. Bleaching:
In Pakistan, bleaching is done with chlorine or hydrogen peroxide.
After washing, the unbleached pulp is sent to the chlorinator where
chlorine at 4-5 bar pressure is injected.
After chlorination pulp is washed with hot water at 60o C and then sent
to the storage tank. After drying the pulp is ready for manufacturing of
paper.

13. Recycling of paper:
Some industry sources estimate that an
ordinary sheet of paper made from cellulose
fibers derived from wood can survive only
four to six trips through the recycling process.
The paper is chopped and then subjected to a mixture of chemicals
to remove impurities and de-inked it chemicals.
An ordinary newspaper can be recycled five (5) times.
