Green Lime - Green liquor dregs in flotation
The commonly used pH-raising substances in flotation process are mined as primary raw materials from the bedrock. Based on the patented invention of the University of Oulu and XAMK researchers, these primary raw materials were replaced with the last significant type of waste from the pulp industry, green liquor dregs.
