Results for tag: "Deinking"

Deinking is a process used in the Pulp and Paper industry to remove ink from recycled paper. It is a multi-step process that involves the use of chemicals, air bubbles, and mechanical action to separate the ink from the paper fibers. The process begins with the sorting of paper into different grades, followed by the removal of contaminants such as staples and glue. The paper is then pulped and screened to remove large particles. The pulp is then treated with chemicals to break down the ink particles, and air bubbles are used to float the ink particles to the surface. The ink is then skimmed off the surface and the pulp is washed and screened to remove any remaining ink particles. The deinking market is an important part of the Pulp and Paper industry, as it allows for the reuse of paper and reduces the need for virgin pulp. It is a growing market, with new technologies and processes being developed to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the deinking process. Some companies in the deinking market include Voith, Kadant, Valmet, and Andritz. Show Less Read more
