Kraft Process

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:

    Experiences in order to be educative must lead out into an expanding world of subject matter, a subject matter of facts or information and of ideas. This condition is satisfied only as the educator views teaching and learning as a continuous process of reconstruction of experience.
    John Dewey (1859–1952)
