The Influence of the Bleaching Medium on Caustic Extraction Efficiency (II): Oxidized Lignin Solubility

Abstract

is a unique organization whose charitable, educational, and scientific purpose evolves from the singular relationship between the Institute and the pulp and paper industry which has existed since 1929. The purpose of the Institute is fulfilled through three missions, which are:• to provide high quality students with a multidisciplinary graduate educational experience which is of the highest standard of excellence recognized by the national academic community and which enables them to perform to their maximum potential in a society with a technological base; and• to sustain an international position of leadership in dynamic scientific research which is participated in by both students and faculty and which is focused on areas of significance to the pulp and paper industry; and• to contribute to the economic and technical well-being of the nation through innovative educational, informational, and technical services. ACCREDITATION The Institute of Paper Science and Technology is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools to award the Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees.
