Features: This book is a textbook for undergraduate students in papermaking and pulping at universities in Canada and the Nordic countries. It has been reprinted over ten times in its edition, and the English version has sold over 40,000 copies worldwide, translated into multiple languages such as French and Spanish. Clearly, the book has achieved great success. It is an excellent textbook. Unlike other similar books, it is not written by an "editorial committee" for papermaking and pulping textbooks. Books written by committees often lack consistency in focus, coherence, and completeness of technical information. In contrast, this textbook, independently drafted by Professor G.A. Smook, largely eliminates such issues. The text is easy to understand, covering all process aspects related to papermaking, from raw materials to environmental issues, striving to encompass all technical aspects of papermaking and pulping. It enables students or technicians to quickly grasp the fundamental knowledge of papermaking processes and become familiar with various process conditions and elements. This book is an excellent textbook and reference tool with interconnected chapters, a seamless flow, and strong readability.
