Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The invention relates to a method for precipitating calcium carbonate, in which method calcium hydroxide is introduced to a fiber suspension containing cellulose-containing fibers, the calcium hydroxide is allowed to attach onto the surfaces of fibers for a pre-determined time, and the aqueous suspension of calcium hydroxide and fibers is brought into contact with carbon dioxide for precipitating the calcium carbonate. The invention also relates to a corresponding system for precipitating calcium carbonate in connection with cellulose-containing fibers. In addition, the invention relates to a fibrous product, which comprises pulp material produced by said method and comprising calcium carbonate.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for precipitating calcium carbonate, comprising: introducing calcium hydroxide to a fiber suspension comprising cellulose-containing fibers to obtain an aqueous suspension of calcium hydroxide and fibers, allowing calcium hydroxide to attach onto the surfaces of fibers for at least approximately 15 minutes before bringing the aqueous suspension of calcium hydroxide and fibers into contact with carbon dioxide, and bringing the aqueous suspe…
