Biocides in Papermaking Chemistry: Prevention of Problems Occurring Due to Microorganisms in Papermaking Process by Application of Slimicides Hannu Pakkanen

This book deals with Biocides in papermaking chemistry. 13 most important (most widely used) biocide chemicals were selected and first the work includes a detailed description of their chemical and physical properties. After this a general overview of the methods suitable for the analysis of biocides is discussed. In this Thesis 28 additional priority biocides and their aquatic environmental risk assessment were also collected in a table. An interesting and compact description of environmental effects of biocides, including a brief summary of the so called green biocides is also presented, which will be important in future papermaking processes.
