Cellulose fibre is primary raw material for paper manufacturing. 50 per cent cellulose present in wood, 20 per cent aromatic hydrocarbons and hemicellulose, carbohydrates and approximatley 30 per cent lignin (a resinous adhesive which holds the fibres together) and . In order to isolate cellulose in for paper manufacture, the wood or plant material must be pulped to separate the fibres and remove impurities. The higher cellulose content of the pulp and longer fibres make better quality of paper. Hardwoods generally contain a higher proportion of cellulose but shorter fibre length than softwoods which are more resinous. Eucalyptus, Poplar, Acacia, Subabul, Casuarina are hardwood species and Pine is like soft wood used for manufacturing of paper and paperboard. Generally, chemical and mechanical pulping both involes inthe manufacturing of paper and paperboard from the wood.

Two chemical companies can supply a raw material. The concentration of an element in this material is important. A random sample with 9 observations from company 1 yields a sample mean of 12.6 and a sample standard deviation of 2.7, and another sample with 11 observations from company 2 yields a sample mean of 14.5 and a sample standard deviation of 5.5. Is there a sufficient evidence to conclude that the variance of company 1 is less than variance of...

Suppose a pulp and paper mill emits pollution into a river upstream of a commercial fishing operation. The emissions from the mill damage the fishery by reducing the number of fish that can be caught. The mill benefits from emissions as these are a by-product of pulp and paper production. Explain why the pollution level under point (b) is not an efficient outcome. What is the efficient level of pollution? Explain.

Pulp and paper production is the third largest industrial polluter to air, water, and land in the United States. The main components of pulp mill related pollution are chlorine and chlorine based materials, sulfur, hydrogen sulfide and sulfur dioxide. With regard to water pollution, chlorine and compounds of chlorine are used in the bleaching of wood pulp, especially chemical pulps produced by the kraft process or sulfite process. Plants using elemental chlorine produced significant quantities of dioxins that are persistent...
