| 20100120945 | METHOD OF PRODUCING PIGMENT SUSPENSIONS - A method of producing a stable aqueous dispersion of a latex, solid particles and a dispersing agent, comprising contacting the latex with an anionic dispersing agent to form a modified latex, feeding the modified latex and the solid particles to a zone of high shear forces, and simultaneously subjecting essentially all of the modified latex and the solid particles fed to said zone to high shear forces to form a latex-particle slurry. By means of the invention, over 60 wt-% of the latex can be adsorbed on the solids. Latex immobilization increases the surface strength of final coating layer and allows for a decrease of latex consumption in paper and cardboard and paint applications. | 05-13-2010 |
| 20130062030 | METHOD AND A REACTOR FOR IN-LINE PRODUCTION OF CALCIUM CARBONATE INTO THE PRODUCTION PROCESS OF A FIBROUS WEB - A method for production of calcium carbonate in a target suspension of a fibrous web forming process of a fibrous web machine, wherein the calcium carbonate is produced in a reactor, the method includes: injecting a chemical including carbon dioxide or lime milk through an injection mixer to the target suspension flowing through the reactor; allowing the chemical including to react while in the target suspension to form calcium carbonate crystals, and inhibiting precipitation of the chemical or a reaction product of the chemical on a surface of or in the reactor by application of an electric or magnetic field to or proximate to the surface along a region of the surface adjacent to the reaction involving the chemical. | 03-14-2013 |
| 20130216468 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR IN-LINE PRODUCTION OF MILK OF LIME INTO AN IN-LINE PRODUCTION PROCESS OF PCC ARRANGED IN CONNECTION WITH A FIBROUS WEB MACHINE - A method and apparatus for in-line production of milk of lime into an in-line production process of PCC arranged in connection with a fibrous web machine. In the solution, lime is slaked in a slaking apparatus at a temperature of at least 80 degrees. The produced milk of lime is cleaned by separating excessively large calcium hydroxide particles immediately prior to introducing the milk of lime into the production process of PCC. The milk of lime is introduced into the in-line production process of PCC located in the production line of the end or intermediate product of the fibrous web machine. | 08-22-2013 |

| 20100224334 | METHOD FOR TREATING LIQUID FLOWS AT A CHEMICAL PULP MILL - A method for treating liquid flows at a chemical pulp mill including at least an alkaline cooking process for producing pulp, treatment of brown stock generated in the cooking, a bleaching plant using ECF-bleaching, in which chloride-containing effluents are formed, an effluent purification plant for treating bleaching plant effluents and other effluents generated at the mill. At least a portion of the effluents is returned after the purification to the pulp production line as source of process water. More than one treatment line is arranged at the effluent purification plant for the mill effluents and effluents with different chemical compositions are purified in separate treatment lines so that the quality and amount of purified water from each treatment line is suitable for use in a stage or stages of the production process, whereto purified effluent is returned. | 09-09-2010 |
| 20100243183 | METHOD IN CONNECTION WITH THE WASHING OF PULP AT A CHEMICAL PULP MILL - A method in connection with washing of pulp at a chemical pulp mill including at least an alkaline cooking process utilizing cooking liquor for producing pulp, brown stock treatment with essentially closed liquid cycles, in which the last washing device is a washing device based on pressing of pulp, a press or a washing press, a pulp bleaching plant using ECF-bleaching, wherein chloride-containing effluents are formed, a chemical recovery plant and effluent purification. The liquid flows generated at a chemical pulp mill are efficiently circulated without disturbing the main process and minimizing the emissions from the mill. Purified effluent in the amount of at least 1 m3/adt pulp is introduced into the dilution after the press or washing press, whereby the effluent is passed from the dilution into the first process stage of the bleaching. | 09-30-2010 |
| 20100243184 | METHOD FOR TREATING LIQUID FLOWS AT A CHEMICAL PULP MILL - A method for treating liquid flows at a chemical pulp mill including at least an alkaline cooking process for producing pulp, brown stock treatment with essentially closed liquid cycles, a pulp bleaching plant using ECF-bleaching, a chemical recovery plant comprising a chemical recovery boiler, and effluent purification. Chloride-containing bleaching plant effluents are led to the effluent purification, where they are treated in order to decrease the organic matter content thereof. At least 20% of the purified effluent is returned to a pulp mill process and purified effluent is used in a last washing stage included in brown stock treatment. In the brown stock treatment the liquid flow is passed counter-currently to evaporation, wherefrom it is led for treatment to a recovery boiler process, wherein a separation process for chlorides is arranged for controlling the chloride level of the liquor cycle. | 09-30-2010 |
| 20120279669 | METHOD OF TREATING LIQUID FLOWS AT A CHEMICAL PULP MILL - A method of treating and utilizing liquid flows at a chemical pulp mill including stages for: a) chemical pulp is produced in an alkaline cooking process, b) the brown stock generated in the cooking is treated, said treatment comprising washing of the stock and preferably oxygen delignification and subsequent washing of the stock, c) a bleaching process for the brown stock, the bleaching sequence comprising at least one stage using chlorine dioxide and additionally at least one oxidizing bleaching stage and having at least two washing stages for treating the stock with liquids and for producing filtrates, and d) filtrates from stage c) are purified at an effluent treatment plant of the chemical pulp mill, which comprises at least biological treatment, for obtaining purified effluent. The method further includes a stage e), where the purified effluent with a color of 200 mg/l (Pt color) or more and a COD value of over 150 mg/l is used as pulp treatment liquid in stage c). | 11-08-2012 |
