摘要:
A deinking agent comprising a compound represented by the following general formula I is herein provided: R.sup.1 O--(PO)m--(EO)n--(XO)k--R.sup.2 (I) (wherein R.sup.1 represents an alkyl or alkenyl group having 12 to 22 carbon atoms; R.sup.2 represents a hydrogen atom or an acyl group having 2 to 24 carbon atoms; PO, EO and XO represent a propylene oxide unit, an ethylene oxide unit and an alkylene oxide unit having not less than 3 cabon atoms, respectively; m=1.about.8; n=10.about.40; and k is such a number that the number of total carbon atoms present in the polymerized XO unit ranges from 3 to 120; the PO and EO in Formula (I) being added through block-addition). The use of the deinking agent in the deinking methods, in particular, the flotation method permits the preparation of high quality reclaimed pulp having high brightness and a low content of residual ink and also ensures stable operations for the methods.

Describes flotation deinking of secondary fiber using a froth moderating agent, a composition of the froth moderating agent with flotation deinking chemicals, and reducing the amount of stickies in separated secondary fiber. The froth moderating agent is selected from the group consisting of: (a) nonionic surfactant material represented by the formula: R--C.sub.6 H.sub.4 O--(C.sub.2 H.sub.4 O).sub.m --(C.sub.3 H.sub.6 O).sub.n --(C.sub.4 H.sub.8 O).sub.p --R.sup.1 wherein R is an aliphatic hydrocarbon group containing from about 5 to 20 carbon atoms, R.sup.1 is selected from the group consisting of chloro, C.sub.1 -C.sub.3 alkyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.5 alkoxy and phenoxy, m, n, and p are each a number of between 0 and about 50, and the sum of m, n, and p is between about 1 and 50; (b) fatty acid esters of sorbitan; (c) certain alkoxylated fatty acid esters of sorbitan; (d) polypropylene glycol being at least 50 weight percent soluble in water; and (e) a combination of at least two of the materials selected from the group consisting of (a), (b), (c) and (d). Also described is the use of a froth controlling amount of nonionic surfactant material (a) alone or in combination with flotation deinking chemicals or other froth moderating agents in reducing the amount of stickies and enhancing the removal of electrostatic inks in the flotation deinking process.
摘要:
A method for enhancing pulp washing efficiency is disclosed. An anionic sulfonate surfactant is added within the washing or pulping operation to enhance the removal of lignin and spent cooking chemicals from pulp.
摘要:
A process for making paper and linerboard, employing certain nonionic surface active agents to increase the yield of kraft pulping. The surface active agents having the structural formula ##STR1## where n is an integer from 8 to 12, and x is a positive integer from 1 to about 100, the surface active agent being present in the cooking liquor in an amount effective to increase the yield of pulp.
摘要:
Veneer production from softwood logs is improved by adding at least about 0.003% of urea to the hot water soaking vats prior to peeling the veneer from the logs. Enhanced results are achieved when urea is added together with a base such as sodium hydroxide.
