Opis

"Applications of Wet-end Paper Chemistry" bridges the gap between the theory and practice of wet-end paper chemistry by explaining how particular chemicals are chosen and put to use in real situations. A number of international experts in the field present recent contributions on the optimum use of chemicals in papermaking. Major inroads have taken place since the first edition of this title was published in 1995. This new edition of "Applications of Wet-end Paper Chemistry" will reflect the changing type and use of chemicals used in papermaking in the 21^st century. Chemists and chemical engineers across the paper and pulp making industry, as well as in research and academic institutes will find this book of enormous practical value.

Very rarely is paper produced without the aid of chemicals. This second edition of Applications of Wet-End Paper Chemistry describes the types, uses and application of most of the chemicals used at the wet end of a paper, board and (to some extent) tissue machine. The editors Dr. Ian Thorn (Business Manager, Central Europe) and Dr. Che On Au (Applications Manager, Global), both working at Eka Chemicals Ltd, Congresbury, UK, have assembled a team of international contributors who have amassed enormous experience in working with paper chemicals employed at the wet end of paper manufacture.

In recent years, both environmental and economic pressures have influenced the development of more efficient paper and board machines and their wet end systems to improve both production and quality. The authors, predominantly working for chemical suppliers, describe the new products and systems developed as solutions to these new challenges.

Written primarily for chemists and engineers working in the mill, Applications of Wet-End Paper Chemistry is also of particular value to suppliers of paper chemicals and to students of papermaking.
