Flocculation efficiency of chitosan for papermaking applications
There is a large interest in bio-polymers as environment-friendly alternatives to synthetic additives in papermaking. In this work, the behavior of three chitosans with different molecular weights and cationic charges were investigated as flocculation additives in papermaking on two systems: calcium...
