Last month, the Halifax Community College Pulp and Paper students
enrolled in Pulping Technology II visited North Carolina State
University’s Department of Wood and Paper Science to participate in a
study involving a total chlorine-free bleaching experiment. One of their
hosts at the NC State event was Dr. Ved Prakash Naithani, a researcher
in the NC State Department of Wood and Science.
Recently, Dr. Ved came to HCC to conduct an elemental chlorine-free
bleaching experiment for Pulp and
Paper students at the HCC campus in Weldon. As environmental concerns
over the use of chlorine as a bleaching agent have become more
widespread, the pulp and paper industry has been forced to pursue the
use of environmentally friendly bleaching technologies. Dr. Ved’s
experiment was an exciting and insightful experience for the Halifax
Community College, Pulp and Paper Students. |
