Understanding and Optimizing Wet End Chemistry Through Particle Charge Characterizations, 1992 Papermakers Conference Proceedings

Cationic demand measurements by a streaming potential titration, using Mutek’s Particle Charge Analyzer, have proven valuable in optimizing wet end chemistry and maintaining system control. The technique is quantitative and sensitive to small changes in system chemistry. Examples of useful data which can be generated by the streaming potential titration include cationic demand profiles across the machine from pulp supplies through the headbox, soluble and insoluble demand, correlations between headbox demand and machine performance, and strategies for optimizing performance based on an understanding of charge optimization. The technique will be compared and contrasted with conventional electrophoretic mobility measurements and the strengths and weaknesses of each technique will be discussed.
