Reviews of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology Volume 212

Part of the book series: Reviews of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology ((RECT,volume 212))

Abstract

The manufacture of pulp and paper is a resource-intensive industry that requires a large quantity of water, energy, and lignocellulosic materials of plant origin. Presently, the high cost of energy inputs, and realization of increased environmental concerns are the driving forces behind the need for the pulp and paper industry to seek more cost-effective and environmental-friendly alternatives for pollution abatement. This industry currently constitutes one of the largest contributors to air and water pollution.
