Anionic Surfactant
Benefits:
Hydrophobic Segment Make More Water Loving
Hydrophilic Segment
Reduce Aggregation
Delivering Value through People Chemistry
Dispersant
• These products are charged, so they can
affect the performance of the cationic
retention aids and the wet end chemistry as a
whole.
Nonionic surfactant
Benefits:
Hydrophobic portion
Hydrophilic portion • Become more hydrophilic
• Reduce aggregation
Delivering Value through People Chemistry
Surfactant
• The disadvantage of this mechanism is the
weak bond between the surfactant molecule
and pitch/stickies particle.
• Due to the weak bond, you get surfactant
molecules in the water phase and the
surfactants connected with the pitch/stickies
particles.
• This can lead to cycle-up of surfactant in the
system –excess foaming.

• Rejects handling
– Ideal: screen/cleaner rejects -> DAF -> landfill
– Good alternate: rejects -> mid ply
– Poor alternate: rejects -> pulper
• Stickies control becomes size management
• Stickies will find a way through the process
• No point in operating reverse cleaners in this setup
