Abstract
Abstract Continuous elimination of at least part of the liquid contained in a layer formed by depositing a liquid compound having a low solid matter content on a mobile, continuous, liquid-porous support, is effected by dripping, pressing and evaporation while the layer is maintained on the formation support without transfer. Evaporation means include means for passing a heated, gaseous flux through the layers.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
203 words
A process for the continuous removal according to a paper production process of at least a portion of the liquid in a layer formed by pouring from a headbox, on a moving, continuous, liquid-porous formation support, of a liquid suspension comprising highly absorbent cellulose fibers having a polymerized olefinic monomer grafted thereon and having hydrolyzable functional groups, and said liquid to be removed comprising an alcohol selected from the group consisting of ethyl alcohol, methyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol and mixtures thereof, said suspension having a solid matter content of less than about 10% by weight, said liquid being removed by gravitational dripping and/or by suction, by pressing, and evaporation, to form a paper layer of said grafted cellulose fibers, the improvement comprising that all of these liquid removal operations bring the layer to a solid matter concentration greater than about 30% and are performed on a single porous substantially horizontal formation support, and wherein the evaporation of a part of the liquid in the layer deposited on said formation support is achieved by passing a nitrogen flux through the layer and further wherein the layer is sandwiched between the formation support and a continuous porous upper support during the entire liquid removal treatment.

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
16 words
Process according to claim 1, wherein all of the operations are performed in a closed chamber.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
14 words
Process according to claim 2, wherein the chamber is provided with a nitrogen atmosphere.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
21 words
The process according to claim 3 wherein the dry matter concentration of the liquid in the headbox is less than 1%.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
183 words
In a process for the continuous removal according to a paper production process of at least a portion of the water in a layer formed by pouring from a headbox, on a moving, continuous, liquid-porous formation support, of a liquid composition composed of an aqueous suspension of cellulose fibers having a solid matter content of less than about 10% by weight, said water being removed by gravitational dripping and/or by suction, by pressing, and by evaporation, to form a cellulose-fiber based paper layer with a basis weight under 30 g/m 2 , the improvement comprising that all of these water removal operations bring the layer to a solid matter concentration greater than about 30% and are performed on a single porous substantially horizontal support, which is the porous formation support for the layer, and wherein the evaporation of a part of the water in the layer deposited on said formation support is achieved by passing hot air through the layer and further wherein the layer is sandwiched between the formation support and a continuous porous upper support during the entire water removal treatment.
