The use of aqueous foams as a carrier fluid for pulp fibers instead of water has re-emerged
in the paper and board industry in recent years. In foam forming, a surfactant is needed to …

Foam forming has recently attracted increasing interest due to the paper industry's continual
efforts to find new possibilities to minimize raw material consumption, and to improve energy …

In addition to carding and airlaid processes, nonwovens are produced from staple fibers by
a wet-laid process. A drawback of this process is the necessity to use very dilute fiber …

In this work, a novel experimental filtration device with pressure profiling was used for
analyzing water removal from the fiber network in the forming section of a paper machine …

In the thesis, the morphology of cellulose-based fibre surfaces immersed in water and their
interactions with air bubbles in the presence of surfactants were investigated. The cellulose …

Generation of fiber foams with surface aeration was studied by simultaneous mixing of pulp
fibers, surfactant, air and water in a lab-scale tank. The mixing took place in either transient …

Mixing tanks are employed in paper and pulp industries to generate aqueous foams and
fiber foams. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of impeller geometry …

Effects of pulp type and pulp concentration on foamability and bubble size of fiber foam were
investigated as fundamental research to develop foam forming technology. Two types of …

Foam forming technology has attracted much attention during the past few years in the
paper industry. Its advantages compared to conventional water forming are a new product …

The forest industry is in the midst of a structural change. The goal is to renew the paper and
board industry to produce higher value-added products for future markets. The launch of …
