Water and Fiber - Wet End Chemistry: A Problem Solving Approach

This interactive CD-ROM training program takes a practical, hands-on approach to helping mill employees understand the workings of wet end chemistry. This easy-to-use, self-guided training tool presents a series of wet end chemistry problems, then lets the learner explore the most effective ways to solve each challenge.

Through this practical, easy to use CD-ROM course, participants learn Wet End Chemistry concepts using an interactive, problem solving approach. The first CD-ROM in the series, "Water and Fiber", covers water, fiber, and water and fiber interactions.

Specific topics include:

Solvent action of water, Chemical equilibrium in water, Determination of water quality, Gross structural properties of wood fibers, Chemical composition of fibers, Fines, Fiber quality attributes measured in the mill, Ion-exchange interactions between dissolved cations and fibers, Hydration of fibers/ swelling-refining response/bonding, Water removal, Surface tension and fiber.
