3. INTRODUCTION The pulp and paper industry encompasses a wide range of centuries-old processes, technologies, and products. There is little doubt that the pulp and paper industry's importance stems from its many contributions to the world economy. In order to fulfill the needs of a world that is changing quickly, the sector is currently not just producing classic paper goods but also leading the way in innovation by investigating new materials and sustainable techniques.

4. Pulp production plays a central role in the bioeconomy, where wood chips or other fibrous materials are treated to separate the cellulose fibers from lignin and other non-fibrous components. The pulping industry employs various methods to separate fibers from raw materials like wood, recycled paper, or agricultural residues. PULPING TECHNOLOGY

5. TYPES OF PULPING Mechanical Pulping It uses mechanical action, such as grinding or refining, to separate the fibers. This process produces a strong pulp with high tear resistance, but the pulp is also bulky and has low brightness. Chemical Pulping It uses chemicals to dissolve the lignin and other non-fibrous materials, leaving behind the cellulose fibers. This process produces a pulp with high brightness and good strength properties. Biological Pulping This involves the use of lignin-degrading microorganisms

6. BIOPULPING While many different microorganisms may biodegrade wood, fungus are the main natural decomposers of wood. Fungal cultures are directly applied to chip heaps in a procedure known as " biopulping ," which aims to improve pulp manufacturing processes and production output. Compared to other conventional pulping methods, bio-pulping enhances the pulp's quality, the paper's qualities, and the environment's effect while lowering energy costs and environmental impact

7. PULP BLEACHING After wood chips are pulped, either by biological, chemical or mechanical means, the resulting pulp has a brownish color. In order to create a white or lighter colored final product, the pulp must be bleached.

8. PAPER MAKING The paper manufacturing process involves several stages, which includes: The preparation of raw materials Pulping Refining Forming Pressing Drying Finishing.

9. Although waste papers are a significant source of alternate raw material for the paper industry and its utilization is expected to increase in the future, its use as a raw material has certain limitations due to the presence of various types of contamination in the waste papers. DEINKING OF WASTEPAPER The removal of these contaminations is the main obstacle in the reuse of the waste papers. ENZYMATIC DEINKING Lignolytic Enzymes Cellulases Amylases

10. CONCLUSION The pulping and paper industry is a vital sector that provides us with essential products. Through the adoption of sustainable practices, technological advancements, and collaborative efforts, the industry can continue to meet the growing demand for paper products while minimizing its ecological footprint and maximizing various biotechnological breakthroughs.
