Abstract (en)

A method of controlling the deposition of pitch in a pulping and/or paper making process which comprises adding a pitch control agent to a stream or a slurry of cellulosic fibres is characterised in that the pitch control agent comprises a particulate inorganic material comprising at least one silicon-containing compound whose particles are coated with a nitrogen-containing polymer having one or more triazine rings. The pitch control agent may comprise a kandite clay whose particles are coated with a homo- or co-polymer comprising melamine formaldehyde. The pitch control agent may be added together with particulate filler material to the cellulosic fibres being processed. A method of preparing a suitable pitch control agent is also described comprising mixing an aqueous suspension of a particulate inorganic material comprising at least one silicon-containing compound with a solution containing a nitrogen-containing polymer having one or more triazine rings, the pH of the mixture formed being in the range pH1 to pH7.
