Description The first step in making pulp, paper, or board is the use of a pulping process to separate the lignin and hemicellulose from cellulose fibers. This is done by cooking a mixture of wood chips, shavings, or ground wood in a large vat with a strong alkaline solution. When the process is complete, the fibers are strained out of the pulp. The pulp is then mixed with water and a dilute acid or alkali solution, which is used to extract the lignin and hemicellulose.
