Effects of tissue additives on copy paper forming and properties, TAPPI Journal February 2024

ABSTRACT: Laboratory tests were conducted in an effort to determine the effects on paper machine process attributes and the properties of paper made from recycled copy paper furnish upon the addition of chemical agents that are commonly used in the production of hygiene tissue products. Due to continuing growth in tissue and towel grades of paper, such agents are experiencing greater usage. Charge titration test results revealed that certain dry strength agents associated with tissue manufacturing have the potential to shift the balance of charge in papermaking furnish to less negative or even positive values. Creping adhesive was found to contribute to fine particle retention, especially when present at relatively high levels. Release aid and a polyacrylate dispersant had the opposite effect. Low addition levels of both a creping adhesive and a debonding agent surprisingly increased a wide range of strength attributes of paper handsheets in comparison to sheets prepared from unaltered recycled copy paper furnish. The debonding agent decreased paper strength at higher levels of addition. Such effects appear to depend not only on the expected effects of agents themselves, but also on how they affect the charge balance of the wet-end system.

Quantification of hardwood black liquor contamination in pine black liquor, TAPPI Journal February 2024

ABSTRACT: The presence of hardwood black liquor contamination in pine black liquor can negatively impact brownstock washer and evaporator operation, as well as reduce soap separation and yield. It is also believed to negatively impact commercial kraft lignin production. It was desired to develop a method of quantitatively determining the amount of low-level hardwood liquor contamination in pine black liquor. A method employing pyrolysis-gas chromatography mass spectrometry (py-GCMS) was developed to perform the desired measurement. Laboratory cooks with carefully controlled blends of pine and hardwood chips were prepared, and the resulting liquor was measured using this technique. Additionally, samples of pine and hardwood black liquors were blended in known quantities and analyzed. All these samples were submitted as blind samples. The resulting analysis suggests the py-GCMS method was able to accurately determine the level of hardwood contamination between 1% to 10% hardwood liquor using a low-level calibration curve prepared with coniferyl alcohol and sinapyl alcohol as standards.

Water chemistry challenges in pulping and papermaking • fundamentals and practical insights: Part 2: Conductivity, charge, and hardness, TAPPI Journal June 2023

ABSTRACT: Although water is essential to the papermaking process, papermakers often overlook its importance and focus on fibers, fillers, and chemical additives. A better understanding of water properties and chemical interactions associated with water at the wet end leads to a sound foundation for high-quality paper production and smooth operation. Water is an excellent solvent for ionic substances, both organic and inorganic. These substances contribute to system conductivity, charge, and hardness and significantly impact the papermaking process. Part 1 of this paper, published in TAPPI J. 21(6): 313(2022), discussed fundamental water properties, water chemistry, and the impact of pH on pulping and papermaking operations. In this paper, we review definitions, sources, and the typical symptoms of the effect of conductivity, charge, and hardness on the productivity of the papermaking process. Sources of conductivity, charge, and hardness impacting these factors, measurement methods, and available correction strategies for their control are also discussed.
