Abstract
Drying cost and energy demand can be 16% less for fiber-wall-filled pa pers, since these papers contain less moisture after pressing than the ir conventionally filled counterparts. The enhanced drainage character istics of the fiber-wall-filled fibers are a consequence of the lower absorbency, moisture content after pressing, water retention values, a nd higher CSF. The location of calcium carbonate within the cell walls of never-dried fibers therefore offers potential savings in energy an d costs for paper mills.
