Brazil, China & India: MTI-precipitated calcium carbonate

摘要

In 1986, Minerals Technologies Inc (MTI, headquartered in New York) pioneered the satellite concept for making precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) for captive on-site use at paper mills, making use of the C02 generated at the mill complex. The company now has about 60 satellite PCC plants in operation or under construction at paper mills around the world. Towards the end of 2010, MTI launched its Fulfill suite of process technologies, aimed at increasing PCC loadings in finished paper products by 1-10% so as to cut down on the consumption of relatively expensive wood-pulp. The company has now supplied Fulfill technology to 14 different paper mills around the world.
