Pulp and Paper Technology Experiment

is a required course for light chemistry and engineering

and is one of the important practical courses in cultivating outstanding engineering and technological talents with the ability to solve complex engineering problems in the fields of pulping and papermaking as well as have innovative thinking. However

traditional experiments are difficult to clarify the multi-factor interactive effects of the pulping process and the impact of pulp quality on paper quality

and the structural changes from macro to micro levels

the fiber dissociation

molecular degradation mechanism. It is also a challenge to conduct exploratory and autonomous experiments to enhance comprehensive practical abilities. Based on this

the virtual simulation experiment “Exploration of Paper Life—Virtual Simulation Experiment of Intangible Cultural Heritage Xuan Paper Production” was developed. It integrates the important knowledge points in the core courses of “Plant Fiber Chemistry”

“Pulping Principle and Engineering”

and “Papermaking Principle and Engineering”. By exploring the mystery of Xuan Paper life

the experiment designs cellulosic knowledge and practice chains. The interoperable experiment is focused on the critical process of sandalwood bark cooking and Xuan Paper production

meanwhile

integrates multiple knowledge points on the changes in plant fiber morphology and components during the chemical pulping process

as well as their impact on papermaking and paper mechanical performance

which aims at

helping students enhance comprehension on professional theoretical knowledge

cultivate engineering thinking

improve experimental design capacities.
