Recycling and Deinking of Recovered Paper

Recycling and Deinking of Recovered Paper, Second Edition covers recent advances in recycling technologies. This second edition examines this new process, which is more eco-friendly than the virgin-papermaking process, and which uses less energy and natural resources, produces less solid waste and fewer atmospheric emissions, and helps to preserve natural resources and landfill space. In addition, the most recent information about the recycling of fibers into various grades of paper and board, the control of stickies, and the effects of recycled fiber on paper machines are also covered.

Recycling technologies have been improved in recent years due to advances in pulping, flotation deinking, and cleaning/screening, resulting in the quality of paper made from secondary fibers remarkably approaching that of virgin paper.

• Covers all aspects of recycling technologies in great depth
• Offers up-to-date authoritative information and cites many mills experiences and pertinent research
• Examines the use of biotech methods for deinking, refining, improving drainage, and stickies control
• Includes new case studies on paper recycling
