  • Patent number: 10011948
    Abstract: A process for recausticizing green liquor in a sulphate or Kraft process for wood pulp production, in which a green liquor consisting of an aqueous solution of sodium carbonate as the major component and sodium sulphide is admixed with calcium oxide in a slaker and undergoes a reaction in a recausticizer to form an aqueous suspension containing sodium hydroxide and calcium carbonate as the major components, which suspension is filtered on a first filter and subsequently, after dilution with water in a dilution vessel, is fed over further filters two or three times and filtered to separate solids suspended therein, characterized in that after a first separation of calcium carbonate as the major component and calcium oxide as the minor component, carbon dioxide is added to the aqueous suspension at least during dilution in a dilution vessel and in particular in the dilution vessel (s) upstream of a second and/or a third filter.

  • Publication number: 20170037576
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a modified pulp. The modified pulp according to the invention contains at least one substance a) selected from the group consisting of clays, at least one substance b) selected from the group consisting of monomeric, oligomeric or polymeric quaternary ammonium compounds and at least one substance c) selected from the group consisting of alkoxylated fatty alcohols. The invention also relates to the use of the pulp according to the invention for the production of pulp/plastic composite materials.

  • Publication number: 20160348319
    Abstract: In a water-soluble unbleached bag paper comprising lignin-containing cellulose fibers as main component and one or more additive(s), at least one surfactant is contained as additive, and the bag paper has a relative wet strength of less than 6% after a 5-minute wetting time. Furthermore, a paper bag comprised of water-soluble unbleached bag paper is described.

  • Publication number: 20150291784
    Abstract: A composite material made of a plastic base material with particles or fibres of renewable raw materials such as wood fibres, abaca, cellulose fibres, regenerated cellulose fibres, hemp fibres or flax fibres embedded therein and optionally a bonding agent, also contains a wetting agent selected from a polyethylene glycol with an average molecular weight of 90 to 40,000 and/or a polyvalent alcohol.

  • Patent number: 8533836
    Abstract: The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for identifying software execution behavior. Embodiments of the invention can be used to assist a user in a making a reasoned and informed decision about whether the behavior of executable code is malicious. Data indicative of executable code behavior can be collected statically without having to execute the executable code. Behavior data can be collected essentially automatically with little, if any, user involvement. A user initiates analysis of executable code and is provided a visual categorized representation of behavior data for the executable code.

  • Publication number: 20070006984
    Abstract: The method serves for the altering of suspended paper fibers or pulp fibers, in particular to increase the strength of the paper made from these fibers. Two refining surfaces are pressed toward one another and moved such that a relative speed prevails between the refining surfaces and the pulp in the refining zone which is as low as possible. The method can be carried out particularly easily with refining bodies which carry a refining surface and which are rolled off on the inner side of a refining drum carrying the refining surface.
