This comprehensive book offers the most up-to-date and thorough insights into the cutting-edge techniques and aspects associated with environmentally friendly pulping technologies. Conventional chemical and semi-chemical pulping processes pose significant environmental concerns. Consequently, there is a pressing need to explore alternative approaches to mitigate wastewater emissions in the paper industry, by implementing stricter regulations to enhance environmental conservation. In response to this challenge, it is essential to investigate new raw materials that can replace traditional choices, as well as develop innovative pulping processes based on less polluting and readily recovered reagents. This book presents novel and emerging deep eutectic solvents for lignocellulosic biomass pretreatment, delving into their effects on biomass pretreatment and the production of value-added products. Additionally, it introduces biotechnological methods of pulping, which play a pivotal role in making manufacturing processes cleaner and more efficient by reducing toxic chemical pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. Given its extensive coverage, this book appeals to applied chemists, foresters, chemical engineers, wood scientists, as well as engineers and researchers involved in the pulp and paper industry as a valuable reference.
