`
`ABSTRACT
`
`Virgin fiber is an expensive raw material in the paper making process. There are continual efforts to replace it with
`less costly materials, such as calcium carbonate. While increased filler usage has long been sought after by the
`paper industry, technical limitations have precluded the practice. A novel solution to this problem will be presented.
`The approach involves the preparation of filler designed to be incorporated at higher levels in papermaking
`operations without compromising the performance of the final product.
`In particular, the critical dry strength and
`optical properties of the sheet are preserved at the higher filler level. Results from commercial applications of this
`technology in the uncoated and coated wood-free grades will be presented.
`
`INTRODUCTION
`
`It has long been a goal of the paper industry to increase the filler content of graphic papers. The cost of filler is
`approximately four to seven times less than the price of market kraft pulp. A 1% increase in filler content is
`estimated to save $6/ton raw material cost, assuming the price of market kraft pulp and filler is $700 and $100,
`respectively. Sheets with higher filler content are easier to dry, resulting in reduced steam consumption. Increasing
`filler content also has the potential to improve sheet optical properties, surface smoothness and printability.
`
`Significant challenges exist for utilizing more filler in terms of both end product quality and machine runnability.
`The largest technical challenge is the loss in strength as filler disrupts the fiber-fiber bonding network of the sheet
`by reducing the number of fibers and preventing effective contact of the fibrils. The increased total surface area of
`the papermaking stock due to higher filler levels reduces the efficiency of conventional dry-strength agents. Loss in
`strength is detrimental in printing operations; for example, low internal strength can cause sheet delamination and
`low surface strength results in picking, linting and dusting. Another issue with higher ash content is that fillers are
`harder to retain. This often leads to elevated retention aid use, poor sheet formation and increased difficulty of
`maintaining an even distribution of fillers across the z~direction ofthe sheet. Operational instabilities due to dusting
`or center roll picking are other potentially negative consequences of higher ash levels.
`
`FILLER TREATMENT TECHNOLOGY
`
`Various approaches to circumvent the challenges with higher filler usage have been pursued over the years. One
`approach is to preflocculate fillers prior to their addition to the wet end approach system. Preflocculation means the
`modification of filler particles into agglomerates through proper chemical treatment. Preflocculation effectively
`increases the size of the filler, and reduces the filler surface area. Therefore, disruption of fiber-fiber bonding from
`fillers becomes less. The high fluid shear rates present in modern high-speed papermaking demand stable and shear
`resistant filler flocs. Furthermore, the size distribution and surface properties of filler flocs must be controlled in
`order to meet the following requirements:
`allow high and uniform filler retention, minimize reduction in sheet
`strength with increased ash content, minimize the loss of light scattering efficiency from the filler particles, and
`minimize negative impacts on sheet uniformity and printability. Patent—pending FillerTEK technology from Nalco
`utilizes a combined chemical and mechanical approach to deliver these attributes.
`
`FillerTEl< technology is a fit for customers utilizing precipitated or ground calcium carbonate (PCC or GCC), or a
`blend of PCC and GCC as their filler source. The chemical treatment is carried out on-site with a mill’s existing
`filler slurry. This can be accomplished in-line or the treated filler slurry can be stored in a run tank; no residence or
`aging time is required before use. The program is economical, even for paper producers targeting the relatively low
`increase in sheet ash of3 to 5 percentage points.
`
`This paper presents two case studies of commercial applications offiller preflocculation technology. The first is for
`an uncoated woodfree sheet, and the second is for a coated woodfree sheet.

`
`COMMERCIAL APPLICATION IN UNCOATED WOODFREE SHEET
`
`The FillerTEK program has been run in one North American fine paper machine for about two years and has helped
`the mill increase sheet ash from 18% to 23%. The mill produces 400 tons/day of copy paper and offset grades in the
`basis weight range of 75 «~ 105 g/ml. The majority of the mill’s production is 75 gsm copy paper using a blend of
`FCC and GCC as the filler source. Previous attempts to increase the ash level were unsuccessful due to limitations in
`sheet strength, as well as machine operational issues like dusting, deposits and poor retention. FillerTEK technology
`was implemented across all grades and has been utilized continuously for over a two year period. As a result, the
`mill has achieved a 5 percentage point
`increase in the ash content of their sheet while maintaining machine
`runnability.
`
`Sheets made before and after implementation of the FillerTEK program were collected and analyzed in the lab.
`Results represent the average of 10 samples randomly selected from 10,000 sheets. The major sheet properties were
`listed in Table 1. The results showed that filler preflocculation enabled the filler content of the sheet to be increased
`by 4.5% without the loss of internal strength, tensile strength, optical properties, and bulk. Bulk was maintained
`because the mill incorporated BCTMP into the furnish mixture. Sheets with preflocculated filler at higher ash were
`significantly smoother. This smoothness gain can be transferred into bulk improvement by reducing calendering
`load.
`
`It was found that
`The sheets described in Table 1 were subjected to a converting study to monitor dust formation.
`sheets produced using FillerTEK technology at 4.5 percent higher filler content generated 47% less dust than the
`sheets containing untreated filler.
`
`Z-directional ash distribution in the sheet was also measured using a tape—peeling method. As shown in Figure 1, the
`distribution ofpreflocculated filler at the elevated content is similar to that of untreated filler.
`
`COMMERCIAL APPLICATION IN COATED WOODFREE SHEET
`
`The FillerTE1( program was successfully implemented on a world class machine in Asia producing coated woodfree
`paper and has been utilized across all grades for about one year. The preflocculation technology enabled the mill to
`increase the base sheet ash level about 3 to 5 percentage points. The critical sheet properties, including internal
`bond strength, tensile strength, stiffness, optical properties, porosity and roughness, were maintained. Table 2
`compares the properties of sheets with 17% untreated filler and 22% treated filler. The data was obtained from one
`ofthe FillerTEK trials on this paper machine.
`
`Because of elevated filler content in the sheet, steam consumption in the dryer section was reduced by over 20%
`since the implementation ofthis technology, as shown in Figure 2
`
`CONCLUSIONS
`
`FillerTEK technology delivers cost-efficiency to paper producers by allowing them to utilize less expensive raw
`materials without compromising product quality. This patent-pending technology is based on a unique filler
`preflocculation approach that produces flocs with a narrow particle size distribution and high shear stability. The
`technology has been demonstrated on both uncoated and coated woodfree commercial paper machines.
