Recycling of water and fibre is the burning issue in pulp and paper
manufacturing at the present juncture because of environmental and
economic aspects. Few mills in Germany and other countries have
already achieved total system closure and 100 % use of recycled
fibre. I am glad to mention that our Institute has carried out very
pioneering work in this area.
However, increasing recycling of water and use of recycled fibre in
mills elevate the levels of contaminants, notably micro-organisms,
pitch, stickies, dissolved and colloidal substances as well as non-
process elements, due to cumulative effects of the repeated recycling
of water. The detrimental substances and phenomena create many
adverse conditions such as abrasion, corrosion, fouling and scaling, causing material
damage, frequent shut-downs, quality problems, increasing maintenance cost and loss in
productivity.

| These problems have been reviewed in this book along with their chemical, biochemical,
material and mechanical solutions. In his book Dr. Patel has brought out the mechanisms
of scale and deposit formation leading to corrosion in terms of micro and nano technology.
Nanotechnology has already made inroads into some of the cutting-edge technologies in
pulp and paper manufacturing and therefore, this book is quite a timely one. I am sure
that this book will be quite useful to the pulp and paper industries, scientists and academic
institutions. I wish Dr Patel much success. |
