    Abstract: A method for oxidative brightening and whitening of a mined mineral is provided. The mined mineral to be brightened may be discolored kaolin clay, such as gray clay. The inventive method comprises adding to an aqueous slurry of a mined mineral to be brightened an oxidizing solution comprising a peroxyacid, such as performic acid and recovering bleached mineral of improved brightness, color and/or improved purity compared to the mineral to be brightened.

    Abstract: A coating structure for a sheet-like substrate is disclosed including cellulosic fibres and a sheet-like product. The structure includes at least one pre-coat layer and a top coat layer, where the pre-coat layer(s) and the top coat layer include 10-90 weight-% of a styrene (meth)acrylate copolymer which is polymerised in the presence of a stabiliser, and which has a glass transition temperature Tg≤20° C., preferably ≤15° C., more preferably ≤13° C. Furthermore, the pre-coat layer(s) includes a polysaccharide, such as starch, and the top coat layer includes 5-60 weight-% of at least one water-soluble coating binder, which is selected from polysaccharides and polyvinyl alcohols, as well as at most 5.0 weight-% of a cross-linker, which reacts with —OH or —COOH groups.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a use of a cationic copolymer obtained by polymerisation of (meth)acrylamide and cationic monomers, having a standard viscosity of ≥2 mPas and a charge density at most 5 meq/g, for reducing anionic substances and/or 5 anionic particulate material in an aqueous phase of a thick fibre stock having a consistency of ≥20 g/l in a manufacture of a fibre web, such as paper, board, tissue or the like. The invention relates also to a method in a manufacture of a fibre web, such as paper, board, tissue or the like using such cationic copolymer.

    CPC classification number: G01N17/04 G01N33/343

    Abstract: A method to determine vapor phase corrosion load in paper and board manufacturing system is disclosed. The method allows optimizing oxidative biocide content in aqueous solutions, suspensions and slurries in the paper and board manufacturing system. The method is based on determination of redox values (rH) of the system during determined time period. A correlation between rH values exceeding a predetermined rH threshold values and corrosion load provides an estimate of increased or decreased corrosion load and allows timely changes to biocide dosage.
