The effects of wood
: chitosan, a highly cationic linear polysaccharide that performs well as a retention aid, strength agent, and scavenger of colloidal particles in 100% deinked paper mills and in LWC furnishes95-97; polyethylene oxide, a high molecular weight polymer that has been shown to be an effective retention aid

New advances in microparticle retention
. These anionic microparticles have been used along with cationic starches, coagulants, and acrylamide-based flocculants to achieve better retention, drainage, and formation. All-organic anionic micropolymers were recently developed that are based on branched and crosslinked polymers. All these programs have

Using Organoclays to Remove Oil From Water
, chemical treatment is required, which is an art based on the technician's experience, as much as a science. The first step is the addition of an inorganic salt such as aluminum sulfate and/or of a cationic polymer. The purpose is to neutralize the electrical charges on the oil droplets and cause

Guidelines for Bonding Plastics
The key to quick and permanent assembly is matching adhesives and plastics. Plasticized PVC anesthesia masks are bonded with light-curing adhesives, shown here entering a cure chamber. A variety of adhesives are used to bond DVDs, including UV-curing acrylics, cationic UV epoxies, and hot melts

Characterizing organic impurities in semiconductor-grade hydrogen peroxide
is the process chemical most commonly used in wet cleaning systems, the most prevalent cleaning method, the hydrogen peroxide based RCA standard clean, will continue to be the state of the art. While there is much information about the impact of cationic impurities on yield, little is known about the effect

The use of alkenyl succinic
have to seek an approach that reduces this attraction, to optimise size performance. The use of highly cationic polymers as scavengers or charge control agents has been very effective in addressing this issue. Another key property to examine is the retention on the paper or board machine

Removal of Chemically Emulsified Oil
is applied, prior bench testing is required. The first step is addition of an inorganic salt, such as magnesium or aluminum sulfate, which may be sufficient to break emulsions, or de-emulsify the oil, if sodium soaps are the emulsifier. If that is not successful, a cationic coagulant may be added

Bioseparations, the Evolution Continues
. Lander discovered that cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), a cationic detergent, selectively precipitates plasmids while keeping proteins, RNA, and endotoxins in solution. Standard plasmid purification in-volves anion exchange chromatography followed by reverse-phase chromatography. "We've
