Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2017200452A1] A method of wet forming a solid porous body that is substantially lighter than conventionally produced similar products but has comparable strength/stiffness and is based on fibrous material from softwood including fractions of fibers separated from one another in a mechanical pulping process comprises: a) providing a draining device having a wire-net bottom; b) fractionating the separated fibers to obtain – a fiber fraction having a weighted average fiber length of from 0.7 to 1.8 mm and a weighted average fiber width of from 25 to 42 μm, and – a fines fraction of particles having a weighted average length of less than 0.2 mm and constituting from 8 to 40 percent by weight of said fibrous material; c) mixing said fractions and preparing a stock from the mixture; d) furnishing the stock to the draining device; e) draining water from the stock on the draining device to form a stabilized solid porous body; and 15 f) drying the stabilized solid porous body to produce a hydrogen bonded solid porous body free from added non-cellulose based binders. Further, a process for controlling the structural and mechanical properties by using combined fiber selection strategy in the manufacture of a solid porous body and paper manufacture comprises: – selecting a suitable wood raw material; – defibering the wood raw material in a mechanical pulping process to get free fibers separated from one another; – selecting a degree of treatment of the wood raw material by controlling an amount of energy supplied to the mechanical pulping process; – exposing the free fibers to a mechanical after-treatment in at least one refiner; – fractionating the obtained pulp by means of screens or hydrocyclones to get fiber fractions useful in the manufacture of a solid porous body and paper manufacture; and – selecting at least one fiber fraction suitable for manufacturing of a solid porous body.
