MAKING PAPER FROM WOOD CHIPS
Do you know that paper
is made from wood? Ya, paper that we use in our daily life is made from wood or
tree. The process of making paper from wood is quite long. The process is
called wood-chipping. Wood-chipping is a process used to obtain pulp and paper
products from forest trees.
The wood-chipping
process begins when the trees are cut down in a selected area of the forest
called a coupe. Next the tops and branches of the trees are cut out and then
the logs are taken to the mill. At the mill the bark of the logs is removed and
the logs are taken to a chipper which cuts them into small pieces called wood
chips. The wood chips are then screened to remove dirt and other impurities. At
this stage they are either exported in this form or changed into pulp by
chemicals and heat. The pulp is then bleached and the water content is removed.
Finally the pulp is
rolled out to make paper.
