The kraft process (also known as kraft pulping or sulfate process) is a process for conversion of wood into wood pulp consisting of almost pure cellulose fibers. It entails treatment of wood chips with a mixture of sodium hydroxide and sodium sulfide, known as white liquor, that breaks the bonds that link lignin to the cellulose.

Famous quotes containing the word process:
“Consumer wants can have bizarre, frivolous, or even immoral origins, and an admirable case can still be made for a society that seeks to satisfy them. But the case cannot stand if it is the process of satisfying wants that creates the wants.”
—John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)
