Recent work suggests that if it were practical to form perfectly uniform paper, the tensile strength might be twice that of conventionally formed paper. This would mean papermakers could achieve equivalent product performance with less material. If technology could take us even half way, material savings could be tens of billions of Euros per year – as well as knock-on benefits for coating, printing, and the high-speed handling of paper in automated equipment.
So what can today’s paper technologists do to minimise fibre flocculation and reap the benefits of more uniform paper and paperboard?
Pira’s new study has the answers. It examines a variety of concepts for managing flocculation – both established and cutting-edge.
It takes you through:
* The definition and importance of
* Measuring the consequences of flocculation
* Advances in mechanical and hydrodynamic aspects of flocculation
* Innovations in chemical aspects of flocculation
* Developments in flocculation measurement
* Emerging strategies for management of flocculation
