Abstract:
The present invention relates to compositions for use in an aqueous pulp bleaching process, comprising one or more alkaline earth metal oxides and/or one or more alkaline earth metal hydroxides; one or more alkaline earth metal salts; and optionally, one or more pitch control additives. Methods and kits for the formation of said compositions, are also part of the invention, as is the use of said compositions, methods and kits.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to alkaline earth metal carbonate particles comprising a coating of aliphatic carboxylic acids and/or their salts, and their use as fillers in plastic materials or as extenders in offset ink.
Abstract:
