Description:

This department is focused on the research of processing of cellulosic materials. Its activities are focused mainly on paper machine processes and design of equipment in the area:

• manufacture of paper with various special properties and recycling of the cellulosic materials
• protection of a cultural heritage, focusing on the protection of traditional cellulose carrier of information, such as books, papers, archive documents, etc.

The laboratory has a complete technology for the treatment of cellulose before a pulp preparation, equipment for preparation and processing of pulp and paper machine itself, with the sieve, pressing and with drying section.

Besides this there is the apparatus that has been designed for the preservation of archival sheets. It was developed in the project KnihaSK.

Department works closely with the Institute of Natural and Synthetic Polymers of Faculty of Chemistry and Food Technology.
