Chemisty of Flotation and Washing for Deinking Newsprint, 1990 Pulping Conference Proceedings

This paper, the first of a series, will review the topic of recycling, giving a general overview, and will then focus on newsprint deinking. The function of individual chemicals will be discussed, along with ink vehicles, properties of ink, and how to remove ink from the surface of newsprint fibers. Modern deink chemistry is designed to optimize the removal of the vehicle, rather than the pigment alone.

Electrical particle interactions and water affinity are important in deinking and will be discussed. These concepts will form a foundation for understanding the chemistry of flotation and washing presented in the remaining papers.
