Process for preparing a paper web

摘要

The present invention concerns a process for preparing a paper web. According to the process a pulp is formed from a fibrous raw material, a web is formed from the pulp and it is dried on a paper machine. According to the invention the pulp is formed from a mechanical pulp produced from a peroxide bleached mechanical wood raw material of the genus Populus, the pH of stock of the mechanical pulp being set at 6.8 to 7.2 and the machine pH at 7.1 to 7.5 and the conductivity of the stock being set at 1000 to 1500 mu S/cm. By using a relatively low pH value and a narrow pH range it is possible to reduce the sensitivity to disturbances of the paper making process. According to the present invention a mechanical aspen pulp can be combined with chemical pulp for preparing base paper of fine paper, whereby the mechanical pulp gives a high conductivity on the machine which improves the stability of the wet end and enhances water removal.
