Abstract (en)

A method for controlling pH in the flow of cellulose pulp in a paper machine where carbon dioxide is introduced into at least one aqueous medium circulating in the wet end, in which the amount of CO2 introduced is a function of the pH of saturation of calcium carbonate (pHs). A method for controlling pH in the flow of cellulose pulp in a paper machine where carbon dioxide is introduced into at least one aqueous medium circulating in the wet end, in which the amount of CO2 introduced is a function of the pH of saturation of calcium carbonate (pHs), defined as pHs = -log[H3O+>], with [H30+>]2>s + (2 x K2 - (TAC X [Ca2+>] X K2)/Ks) X [H30+>s + Ke = 0; where TAC = [OH->] + 2.[CO32->] + [HCO3]>, K2 = [H30+>] x [CO32->]/[HCO3->, kS = [Ca2+>] {CO32->] and Ke {H30+>][OH->]. An independent claim is included for a device for use in this method, in which all or part of the carbon dioxide is introduced into the short white-water circuit and/or the long white-water circuit.

Abstract (fr)

La présente invention concerne l'utilisation de dioxyde de carbone pour contrôler les propriétés calco-carboniques des eaux lors de la formation d'une feuille de papier dans la machine à papier, elle se rapporte plus particulièrement à un procédé de contrôle du pH du flux de pâte cellulosique pour la fabrication d'un produit papetier entrant dans la machine à papier, procédé dans lequel on introduit du dioxyde de carbone dans au moins un véhicule aqueux circulant dans les circuits de la partie humide (wet end).
