Pulping is the process of breaking down paper (or wood) into individual fibers with the help of an elevated temperature (40–55 °C), alkaline pH (9.0–10.5), and mechanical force. During the pulping process of MSW paper, fibers flex, bend, and rub against one another to promote ink removal.

The kraft process (also known as kraft pulping or sulfate process) is a process for conversion of wood into wood pulp, which consists of almost pure cellulose fibres, the main component of paper.
Pulping is a process of converting lignocellulosic materials into pulp. Pulp is an intermediate material applied in papermaking. There are huge numbers of technologies of pulping methods that can be generally divided into three categories: mechanical (MP), chemical (CP), and hybrid pulping (HP).
The classical pulping process is the kraft (chemical) process, also known as the sulphate process, invented in 1879 and patented in 1884 (US Patent 296,935). It was first adopted by industry in 1890, and has been predominant worldwide since 1940 (Biermann, 1993; Ragauskas, 2002).
Jan 3, 2021 · The pulping industry has for decades not developed new pulping techniques but rather improved the traditional chemical and mechanical pulping processes to enhance pulp yields and quality, as well as saving energy and chemical loading required for pulping.

The kraft pulping process is a complex and important method for producing pulp from wood chips or other lignocellulosic materials. The process involves cooking the wood in an alkaline solution to break down the lignin and separate the cellulose fibers, which are used to produce paper products.
The objective of pulping process is to remove as much lignin as possible without sacrificing fibre strength, thereby freeing the fibres and removing impurities which cause discoloration and possible future disintegration of the paper. Hemicellulose plays an important role in fibre-to-fibre bonding in papermaking.
