In paper making, which part of the production does the sulfur come in?

Question

What does the sulfur do to the paper? Which type or types of paper has the most sulfur? What does it look like? Solid, liquid, or gas? Where can I buy the same sulfur that paper makers use?

Answer 1

Sulfur Dioxide
Sulfur-based compounds are used in the bleaching process, as well as to break down the sturdy fibers of the wood pulp. Sulfur dioxide is produced and released as exhaust from the mill. On top of that, paper mills produce sulfur dioxide through the burning of fossil fuels (large mills often have their own internal power plants). Sulfur dioxide is of particular concern because it is water soluble and is a major cause of acid rain.

Hydrogen Sulfide
Hydrogen sulfide is one of the gases that give pulp and paper mills their characteristic aroma. It has an unmistakable smell of rotten eggs. It is produced during the cooking of the pulp, to help break down the fibers.

As to where u can buy then u gotta search in the net for ur local area dude. Hope i answered ur query.
