Abstract: The present invention describes an additive which controls stickies formation and removes anionic trash from recycled old corrugated container furnish, old newsprint furnish, deinked pulp furnish, old magazine grade furnish, coated broke furnish, or thermomechanical pulp furnish. The present invention treats talc with either a tertiary or quaternary amine. The treated talc is then added to the pulp slurry and removes stickies by binding the stickies to the talc and neutralizes the anionic trash that may be present. The present invention also describes a method for modifying talc particles involving contacting a tertiary or quaternary amine with talc particles. The present invention further describes a talc created by the process of contacting a tertiary or quaternary amine with talc particles. The present invention additionally describes a paper product having a modified talc filler wherein the modified talc filler has been contacted with a tertiary or quaternary amine.

Abstract: This invention discloses a talc additive for use as a filler in making paper products which is useful in preventing dusting or linting of paper. Also disclosed is a method of making the additive and using it in making paper.

Abstract: The present invention describes a method for removing contaminants from a recycled paper fiber slurry comprising adding a cationized mineral to the paper fiber slurry to form complexes between the cationized mineral and the contaminants and separating the complexes from the paper fibers.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a method of treating talc particles that will improve talc's wettability and/or talc's affinity to cellulosic fibers. The method also includes changing the charge of the talc particles from slightly anionic to cationic. The present invention, while modifying certain of talc's characteristics, also preserves talc's suitability as a pitch or stickie control in the paper making process. The process of the present invention includes the steps of coating the surface of talc particles with a metal hydroxide and then coating the surface of the talc particles with a cationic polymer.
