Introduction Introduction
Critical crisis for the Canadian pulp and paper industry
Devastating effects on its future economic growth
Challenges
High value of the Canadian $ vs the US $ Rising costs: Fuel, energy,Wood chips Low prices and overcapacity for several grades Newsprint demand in US is decreasing Quebec: Coulombe report
SLIDE 4 Introduction Introduction
Solution? :
Use more deinked pulp (DIP)
- To compensate for the reduction in virgin fibres
supply
- To reduce production costs
DIP is largely used for
Newsprint Fine papers Tissue papers Boards
SLIDE 5 Problematic Problematic
DIP is not used in value added papers
Lower bonding ability of deinked fibres
- Lower water re-swelling properties
- Chemical and mechanical treatments affect fibre
properties
Residual ink
- Aging of offset inks
- Ink redeposition during repulping
- Reduced optical properties (Grey shade)
Contaminants
- Adhesives, waxes and latexes
- Stickies (macro and micro stickies)
- Affect pulp quality and papermachine runnability
SLIDE 6 Objectives Objectives
To increase DIP usage in value added papers
Must improve both optical and physical properties of deinked fibres
To study the oxidizing potential of TEMPO
Improve strength and optical properties of deinked fibres
- Establish optimal conditions for oxidation
- Determine the effect of addition deinked
fibres to TMP (physical and optical properties)
SLIDE 7
Approach Approach
Tempo oxidation of DIP improved strength properties
Determine optimum concentration of NaBr and NaOCl
With optimum concentrations
Make handsheets with oxidized deinked fibres and TMP Determine physical and optical properties
