Pulp and Paper online quiz on “Internal Sizing”.
1. If one deals with only one filler, then ash content is all that is required to follow the filler.
a) True
b) False
Answer: a
Clarification: The large number of tests in this table indicates that only a few of all of the possible tests can be done routinely. Frequently the filler content of a material needs to be calculated as part of a troubleshooting exercise where validation on a specification for filler content is needed.
2. It is well known that ________ cause maximum flocculation shortly after their addition to fiber slurries.
a) Anionic polymer
b) Cationic polymer
c) Lyophobic
d) Lyophilic
Answer: b
Clarification: This was observed by Koethe and Scott in 1993.The time on the order of 10 to 100 or more minutes zeta potential decreases.
3. _________ are too large to easily be measured by their zeta potential.
a) Filbers
b) Cationic polymer
c) Lyophobic
d) Lyophilic
Answer: a
Clarification: Fibers are too large to easily measure their zeta potential. Often the assumption is made that the zeta potential behaviour of fiber fines is the same as that of the fibers.
4. What’s the name of the group?
a) Carbonate
b) Epoxy
c) Polymer
d) Starch
Answer: b
Clarification: The epoxy groups of this and other molecules that use it (such as materials utilised to prepare cationic starch) are stored in a stable form and made reactive before using them.
5. The _________ can be measured by the movement of electrophoresis.
a) Zeta resistance
b) Voltage
c) Current
d) Zeta potential
Answer: d
Clarification: The electric field cautilises movement of the water, so the measurements must be made where it is stable. A microscope must be utilised to view the particles and determine their velocity.
6. What is the name of the hidden part?
_____= EZ/f
a) Voltage
b) Zeta potential
c) Current
d) Factor
Answer: a
Clarification: The velocity of migration of a molecule is proportional to the electric field (E), which is the volts of the field that’s divided by the distance b/w the plates, also referred to the voltage drop per unit length, V/m and the charge of the species (Z) and is indirectly proportional to the frictional coefficient, (f).
7. What’s the name of the instrument?
a) Electrocuting
b) Electrophoresis
c) Electrolysis
d) Electro-magnetism
Answer: b
Clarification: Electrophoresis is a technique utilized in laboratories in order to separate macromolecules based on size. The technique applies a -ve charge so proteins move towards a +ve charge.
8. Colloidal _________ have a disadvantage that it’s hard to reproduce the method from operator to operator without mechanization of the system.
a) Titration
b) Sulfonication
c) Burning
d) Delignification
Answer: a
Clarification: The endpoint determination isn’t very sharp to the unaided eye. The use of a spectroscopic instrument to help determine the endpoint is crucial but adds to the complexity and cost of the method.
9. In the direct titration methods, the indicator isn’t added to the solution containing the cationic polymer.
a) True
b) False
Answer: b
Clarification: Anionic polymer is added by a buret. Initially it complexes completely with the cationic polymer.
10. Problems in zeta potential measurement occur if the H2O has a relatively high ________ strength since heating will occur, which induces convection currents.
a) ionic
b) magnetising
c) acid
d) basic
Answer: a
Clarification: Decrement the applied voltage or measurement time will be necessary. Samples must be dil. with a solution of similar inorganic electrolyte composition to observe individual particles.
