Intended learning outcomes
After the course has been passed, the student will be able to
- Collect scientific information into a written report and to give an oral presentation of the material
- Draw and describe the reaction mechanisms for reactions of wood polymers and extractives respectively during pulping and bleaching
- Draw and describe the reaction mechanisms for the post-yellowing reactions occurring with mechanical and chemical pulps
- Understand and predict how the hierarchical structure of wood and pulps is affected by pulping, bleaching and post-yellowing
- Critically evaluate the effects on fiber properties and mill environment of changes in process and raw material
- Describe structure and properties of cellulose-, hemicellulose- and lignin derivatives as well as other chemicals from wood
- Predict changes in structure and properties of wood polymers and pulps in the pulping process line
