Manufacturing paper

Used industrially to cross-link hydroxylic polymers, polyethyleneimine. Possesses some carcinogenic properties. Polyethyleneimine is a hygroscopic liquid used in paper manufacture to confer wet strength and in textiles, alkylated derivatives also form useful polymers. 

Enzymes are used in baking, cheese manufacture, wine-making, brewing and distillation, pharmaceuticals, leather tanning, paper manufacture, adhesives, sewage disposal, animal feeds and in detergents.

Titanium Tetrachloride. The major use for titanium tetrachloride [7550 5-0] is in titanium dioxide production, and titanium dioxide [13463-67-7] is enjoying strong growth for use as a filler in pulp and paper manufacture and as a pigment in paint and plastic manufacture. Annual growth for this product is forecasted at between 2.5 and 3.0% through 1992.

A rationalization of the complex behavior of pectins in solutions and gels with respect to their stmcture, solvation, and the presence of ions and other saccharides has been presented (123). The solution and sorption properties of gum tragacanth and the pectin isolated from the roots of Hibiscus mani/)ot F (Tororoaoi) contributes to their use in specialty paper manufacture (124—126).

Includes abrasives, paper manufacture, and refractory stone (including ganister). 

The type of varnish used in the process depends on the kraft paper manufacturer and basis weight of the papers the machine, temperature, and control (scraper bars, squeeze roUs) used the method of cutting the paper to size the laminate being produced (post-forming or regular) and the press-cure cycle (see Laminated materials, plastic). 

Use. Lithopones are used in water-based paints because of their excellent alkaH resistance, in paper manufacturing as a filler and opacifying pigment, and in mbber and plastics as a whitener and reinforcing agent. 

Closed-Mill Concept. The closed-mill concept, or water circuit closure, has been studied by the pulp and paper industry for many years. In some parts of the paper manufacturing process, up to 98% of the water is recycled within the process, eg, the wet end of the paper machine. However, in the pulp mill, especiaUy kraft mills, effluents are produced owing to the need to purge from the system various metals that come in with the wood, as weU as organic by-products from the pulping process, additives, and especially chloride ions that originate in the bleach plant.

Tall oil rosin is a by-product of paper manufacturing. Raw wood chips are digested under heat and pressure with a mixture of sodium hydroxide and sodium sulfide. Soluble sodium salts of lignin, rosin, and fatty acids are formed, which are removed from the wood pulp as a dark solution. The soaps of the rosin and fatty acids float to the top of the mixture, where they are skimmed off and treated with sulfuric acid to free the rosin and fatty acids. This mixture, known as cmde tall oil (CTO), is refined further to remove color and odor bodies fractional distillation separates the tall oil rosin acids from the fatty acids (see Tall oil). 

Sulfates of sodium are iadustriaUy important materials commonly sold ia three forms (Table 1). In the period from 1970 to 1981, > 1 million metric tons were consumed aimuaHy ia the United States. Siace then, demand has declined. In 1988 consumption dropped to 890,000 t, and ia 1994 to 610,000 t (1,2). Sodium sulfate is used principally (40%) ia the soap (qv) and detergent iadustries. Pulp and paper manufacturers consume 25%, textiles 19%, glass 5%, and miscellaneous iadustries consume 11% (3). About half of all sodium sulfate produced is a synthetic by-product of rayon, dichromate, phenol (qv), or potash (see Chromium compounds Fibers, regenerated cellulosics Potassium compounds). Sodium sulfate made as a by-product is referred to as synthetic. Sodium sulfate made from mirabilite, thenardite, or naturally occurring brine is called natural sodium sulfate. In 1994, about 300,000 t of sodium sulfate were produced as a by-product another 300,000 t were produced from natural sodium sulfate deposits (4). 

Low DS starch acetates have reduced gelatinization temperature ranges and reduced tendency to retrograde after pasting and cooling. Gelling may be completely inhibited if the DS is sufficiently high. Low DS starch acetate polymers also form films which are useful in textile and paper manufacture. 

Expandable VDC copolymer microspheres are prepared by a microsuspension process (191). The expanded microspheres are used in reinforced polyesters, blocking multipair cable, and in composites for furniture, marble, and marine appHcations (192—195). Vinylidene chloride copolymer microspheres are also used in printing inks and paper manufacture (196). 

Gypsum board paper is a special three-ply paper manufactured from repulped newspapers. The face paper or cream face has the ply against the core unsized so that the gypsum crystals can grow into it, as this is the principal form of bonding between the core and facers. The middle ply is sized and the outer ply is more heavily sized and treated to control paint absorption. For the completed gypsum board system to work, the joint treatment and paper must absorb paint at the same rate. 

Calcium sulfite [10257-55-3] and acid sulfite may be prepared by reaction of SO2 and hydrated lime or limestone. Calcium acid sulfite [13780-03-5] Ca(HS02)2, has been used to remove lignin (qv) from wood pulp in paper manufacture (6) (see Paper Pulp). 

Porous carbon and graphite are used ia filtration of hydrogen fluoride streams, caustic solutions, and molten sodium cyanide ia diffusion of chlorine iato molten aluminum to produce aluminum chloride and ia aeration of waste sulfite Hquors from pulp and paper manufacture and sewage streams.
