Water-Soluble Polymers as Flocculants in Papermaking

Water-Soluble Polymers

Part of the book series: Polymer Science and Technology ((PST,volume 2))

Abstract

The papermaking process involves three basic operations. First, a wet web of fibers is formed from a fiber — water slurry and drained on a continuously moving wire. Second, additional water is removed by pressing the web between felts. Third, the web is dried on a series of steam-heated drier drums. The water systems surrounding this basic process will be described in more detail below, as will the complete papermaking system. Figure 1 shows a Fourdrinier paper machine (the most common type), looking from the continuously moving wire toward the driers.
