  • Publication number: 20040154770
    Abstract: In a method and device for loading the fibers that are contained in a fiber stock suspension with calcium carbonate by way of a chemical precipitation reaction, calcium oxide and/or calcium hydroxide are added to the fiber stock suspension. In order to trigger the precipitation reaction at least partially liquid carbon dioxide is injected into the reactor thereby ensuring the transformation of the starting substance calcium dioxide or calcium hydroxide into the reaction products calcium carbonate and water. The carbon dioxide can be added in an exclusively liquid state or partially in a liquid state and partially in a gaseous state.

  • 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.

  • Patent number: 6537425
    Abstract: During the chemical process of loading with calcium carbonate fibers contained in a pulp suspension, a medium containing calcium oxide or calcium hydroxide is added to the pulp suspension. This treated pulp suspension is charged in at least one reactor with pure carbon dioxide (or a medium containing carbon dioxide), which, during the progression of the reaction, converts at least a significant portion of the starting materials (calcium oxide and/or calcium hydroxide and carbon dioxide) into the reaction products, calcium carbonate and water. This reaction is accomplished by properly controlling the pulp suspension's pH.

  • Patent number: 6413365
    Abstract: A method of loading fibers in a fiber suspension with calcium carbonate includes the step of transporting a fiber suspension to an inlet of a housing. The fiber suspension includes calcium oxide and/or calcium hydroxide. The fiber suspension is distributed from the inlet using a rotatable distribution member. The fiber suspension is passed through a toothed ring interposed between the distribution member and a rotor and stator assembly. A reactant gas is supplied to a gas ring defined between a toothed ring and the rotor and stator assembly. Calcium carbonate crystals are formed in the fiber suspension as the fiber suspension passes through the gas ring. The calcium carbonate crystals are distributed in the fiber suspension using the rotor and stator assembly.
