STABLE CATIONIC POLYACRYLAMIDE DISPERSIONS AND USE THEREOF IN PAPERMAKING
The present disclosure generally relates to aqueous cationic polyacrylamide (CPAM) dispersions, methods of preparation and methods of use thereof, particularly in the paper industry. For example, these CPAM dispersions may be used in any of the following: (i) sticky control in paper manufacturing (ii) fixing in paper manufacturing, (ii) sludge dewatering, and/or (iii) oil-water separation. Moreover, the present disclosure generally pertains to CPAM dispersions, wherein such CPAM dispersions are aqueous dispersions which are shelf stable at room temperature, methods of preparation and methods of use thereof in papermaking applications and in products such as paper-based products. The disclosed CPAM dispersions may be used as retention aids in papermaking processes, may increase retention of starch to a formed paper web and/or board web, and may provide increased dry strength to paper-based products.
Methods of solvent extraction are provided, including methods that exhibit improved phase disengagement times or reduced crud. The methods may include contacting an aqueous phase with a phase disengagement agent. The phase disengagement agent may improve a phase disengagement time. The methods may include contacting an aqueous phase with a crud reducing agent.
The invention relates to a method for reducing bacterial endospores in an aqueous fibre suspension comprising recycled cellulosic fibres, wherein the fibre suspension has an original endospore amount, preferably of ≥10 000 CFU/ml. The method comprises adjusting the pH of the fibre suspension to a pH value of ≤6.5, adjusting the oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) of the fibre suspension to an ORP value of ≥200 mV with a first oxidizing agent, and introducing an amount of performic acid as a second oxidizing agent to the fibre suspension for reducing the bacterial endospores to an endospore amount of ≤1000 CFU/ml.
A method for controlling paper making includes monitoring (302) a surface level of a fibrous suspension in a storage, and identifying (303) that the surface level has decreased so that at least one emptying criterion is met and thereafter identifying that the surface level has increased so that at least one refilling criterion is met, and responsively to the identifying that the surface level has increased so that the at least one refilling criterion is met, starting to dose a biocide agent into the fibrous suspension entering the storage. A corresponding apparatus and computer program are disclosed.
The invention relates to a method for producing coagulant aluminium salts. Raw material comprising at least one aluminium oxide compound is mixed with a process acid or a base to form a reaction mixture, which is heated to a reaction temperature of at least 100° C. at a reaction pressure. The aluminium oxide compound is allowed to react with the process acid or the base. The aluminium oxide compound is selected from a group consisting of amorphous aluminium oxide, γ-aluminium oxide, η-aluminium oxide, χ-aluminium oxide, or any of their mixtures. The reaction pressure is at least 2 bar(g).

METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A PROCESS IN MAKING PULP, PAPER, OR BOARD
A method, apparatus, and computer program control a process in making pulp, paper, or board automatically controlling by a rules engine a dosing of a chemical agent in the process into a fibrous suspension. The rules engine receives a plurality of measurements relating to the process and maintains a plurality of rules sets, including an active rules set. Each rules set defines how the dosing depends on the measurements. The rules engine controls the dosing of the chemical agent based on the measurements and the active rules set, logs at least some of the measurements and actualised dosing of the chemical agent, and receives at least one rules set candidate. The dosing of the chemical agent is simulated with the received at least one rules set candidate based on the earlier measurements; and simulation results are output for optimising performance of the chemical agent in the process.
