Abstract
In the non-acidic sizing of paper reaction between alkylketene dimer sizing agent and cellulose of cellulosic paper-making fibers is catalyzed by dissolving carbon dioxide in an aqueous vehicle of an aqueous pulp of the paper-making fibers; the carbon dioxide provides bicarbonate ions which catalyse the reaction; the bicarbonate ions may be generated by dissociation of the carbon dioxide in water, or by reaction of the carbon dioxide with calcium carbonate incorporated in the pulp as a filler for the paper, or with some other alkali present.
