Process of making A4 paper -

The process of papermaking was developed in around 2nd century AD. There are two ways of making paper namely, industrial papermaking and manual papermaking whereas there are two types of pulping namely, chemical pulping and mechanical pulping. Along with the fibers, pulp also includes chalk or china clay.

-> In chemical pulping, the lignin is separated from cellulose fibers. This is done by mixing cooking liquor so that lignin leaves cellulose. This helps in preserving the length of cellulose fibers. In this pulping, at times the pulp is also bleached for the purpose of production of white paper.

-> In the case of mechanical pulping, the wood is chipped and thereafter put into steam heated refiners. The chips are squeezed and converted into fibers between two steel discs. The mechanical pulps have shorter fibers and hence produce a weak paper.

The energy required in mechanical pulping is more than as compared to chemical pulping, but it costs less than the paper produced through chemical pulping.
