The process name is derived from German ''kraft'', meaning ''strong''; both capitalized and lowercase names (''Kraft process'' and ''kraft process'') appear in the literature. It was developed by Carl Dahl in 1884 and now is used for about 80% of production volume of paper. Kraft process differs from the Sulfite Process by using alkaline solution, which is less corrosive to the equipment. It is also more efficient than the sulfite process. It produces stronger fiber, however the fiber is also rougher and contains more impurities that make it difficult to Bleach . Various gaseous byproducts containing Hydrogen Sulfide and other volatile Sulfur compounds are the cause of the obnoxious smells characteristic for pulp and Paper Mill s utilizing the kraft process.
