The microbial issues in paper mill systems, chemistry of deposits on paper machines, the strategies for deposit control and methods used for the analysis of biofouling are all dealt in this book along with various growth prevention methods. The traditional use of biocides is discussed taken into account the new environmental regulations regarding their use. Finally, discusses the trends regarding the future of the microbiological control in papermaking systems. - In-depth coverage of microbiological issues in papermaking and their consequences - Discusses eco-efficient processes (green processes) for biofilm/slime control - Offers a thorough review of the current literature with links to the primary literature - Comprehensive indexing - Author is an authority in the pulp and paper industry.…
