FLUORESCENT METHOD OF TRACKING OF SURFACE ADDITIVES IN PAPERMAKING PROCESS Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC G01N21/64 G01N21/86 G01N33/34 G01B11/06 D21H21/30 

FIELD: textiles, paper.

SUBSTANCE: method comprises the following steps: a) adding a known amount of one or more surface additives to a papermaking process in a known proportion with a known amount of one or more inert fluorescent markers, and the inert fluorescent markers are selected from the group consisting of fluorescein or derivatives of fluorescein and rhodamine, or derivatives of rhodamine, b) measuring the fluorescence of one or more inert fluorescent markers in the point after adding the surface additives and after the web formation, at that fluorescence is measured with a fluorometer of reflective type, c) establishing the correlation between the fluorescence value of the inert fluorescent markers on the web and the concentration of surface additives in the coating on the web and/or coating thickness on the web.

EFFECT: use of the proposed method enables paper machine to control the rate of adding at very low levels, with ability to assess quickly and regulate statically rate of adding beyond the technical specifications.
