Commercial Papermaking

Commercial papermaking in the civilization of the 20th century is one of our most important industrial products. Books, magazines, newspapers are printed on paper. Data from the computer is normally printed on paper. Without paper printing or writing, education, government and industry can not function. Cardboard (for packaging) and absorbent paper (paper towels and towels) are other widely used paper products. Paper is made of cellulose fibers present in all plant cell walls. When a mixture of water and fiber is filtered on a fine screen, the fibers are intertwined to form a sheet of paper.

Paper making is a Chinese technology of the 2nd century shipped to the Middle East when the Chinese paper manufacturer group was arrested in the 8th century. Umayyad conquered Hispania and disseminated papermaking technology to Europe. The paper mill was founded in Sicily on the 12th century. In Europe, the fibers used to make paper pulp are derived from linen and cotton. Lynn White believes that rotating wheels replenish dust and eventually become cheaper paper. This is one of the factors of printing development.

New papermaking and papermaking processes also expanded to Korea, and paper began in the early sixth century. In turn, the Korean priest named Tang Town brought paper to Japan in 610 AD (six years after the introduction of Buddhism in Japan). Of course, this paper is used only for official documents, but after the occupation of Buddhism the demand for paper rose sharply. "The Qur'an says that good Muslims should seek knowledge," says Mark Kuransky, author of "Paper: Analyzing Through History." Languages ​​such as kaghid and qirtas (words used in the Quran) are regarded as Chinese. )

A thin nonwoven material made from pulverized vegetable fiber, usually used for paper, writing, artwork, and packaging, is usually white. In the East Han Dynasty (AD 25 to 220 AD), China recorded the first paper making process. In the 8th century, the Chinese paper industry spread to the Islamic world, paper pulp and paper mills were used to make paper and money. In the 11th century, the paper industry was brought to Europe. In the 13th century, the paper industry developed at a paper mill using a Spanish water mill. After that, the improvement of papermaking technology in Europe occurred in the 19th century by the invention of wooden paper.
