LOOKING AT A PAPERMAKING PROCESS IN A NEW LIGHT: INSIGHT THROUGH CONSOLIDATION THEORY

摘要

The rheology of papermaking fibres is key to understanding the behaviour of several unit operations in the papermaking process. In this talk, we will examine how papermaking suspensions flow, over a wide range of consistencies, and offer insights into how suspension rheology effects unit operation behaviour. We will also extend these concepts to examine water adsorption in tissue and towel.
