Questions and Answers

What is the purpose of wood chipping in the pulp and paper industry?

  • To provide uniform sized wood chips for pulping (correct)
  • To refine the wood chips into mechanical pulp
  • To extract useful fibers from the bark
  • To grind small wood logs into stone pulp

Which part of the wood is most useful for making pulp?

  • The roots
  • The heartwood and sapwood (correct)
