Abstract
The possibility of using microwave heating to produce chemimechanical pulps was examined. High degrees of sulphonation of hardwood and softw ood chips can be achieved using microwaves, even within a short irradi ation time of less than three minutes. Refiner pulps made from the tre ated chips show good papermaking properties.
