Content(s)
This course focuses on :
- the different additives used such as wet-end chemicals in papermaking,
- the main modes of action of these additives and to be able to identify the main parameters acting on the involved phenomena
- their most common dosing points and the classical dosages
- how to control their efficiency
1. Introduction - why using performance and process additives in papermaking?
2. Composition of the pulp suspension: relevant properties of the cellulosic fibres and fines, of the mineral fillers and pigments and the dissolved and colloïdal substances.
3. Forces at interfaces: a brief survey
4. Characterisation of lignocellulosic materials: key parameters in controlling the papermaking chemistry
5. Performance additives : physico-chemical modification of fibres for improving end-use properties of paper and board
- Dry and wet strengthening
- Internal sizing
6. Process aids: a way to increase the productivity of the papermachine - Retention and drainage
- Interfering substances : how to control them?
7. Microbiology (A. Guillet)
Basic knowledge:
- of the main sorts of pulps and of the papermaking process,
- of the physical and mechanical properties of paper and board,
- in polymer chemistry and physical chemistry.
