Deflocculation of Cellulosic Suspensions with Anionic High Molecular Weight Polyelectrolytes

Pulp fibers have a strong tendency to form flocs in water suspensions, which may cause their undesirable distribution in the paper sheets. This flocculation can be controlled by adding, e.g., an anionic high molecular weight polyelectrolyte in the fiber suspension. The objective of this study was to...
