  • Publication number: 20040154771
    Abstract: A method and a device for loading of fibers that are contained in a fibrous suspension, with a filler by way of a chemical precipitation reaction. A fibrous suspension is supplied to a pump disperger where it is treated by shear forces in order to break down larger fiber agglomerates into smaller ones, and/or into individual fibers. At the same time the pump disperger serves as a reactor for the chemical precipitation reaction.
