Question

How is paper manufactured? Write in your own words.

Answer 1

Paper is manufactured by the following process:

• Logs of wood are made to pass through a debarker, where the barks of the tree are separated.
• Then the wood is chopped into small pieces and is mixed with some chemicals and water in the digester for the formation of the pulp.
• The obtained pulp is washed, refined, and sometimes even bleached.
• The pulp is made to travel down the screen to remove the excess water and then to the rollers, where it is dried and squeezed between large rollers to form rolls of paper.
