PROCESS FOR REMOVING PRINTERS INK FROM PRINTED PAPER BLEACHING SUBSTANCES HAVING AN ALKALINE. ACTION.
sea-era.
. No Drawing.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed December 2, 1909. Serial No. 531,085.
BY MEANS or Toall whom it may concern:
Be it known that We, HUoo 'HEN EL, Ph. D., chemist, and O'r'ro Gnssnnn, director, subjects of the King of Prussia and the 5 King of Bavaria, residing Dusseldorf,
Prussia, and Augsburg, Bavaria, Germany,
have invented certain new and useful improvementsin processes for removing prin ters ink from printed paper by means of bleaching substances having an alkaline action, of which the following is a specification.
It has been attempted for a long time to use printed paper again for paper manufachitherto, owing to the printers ink adhering to the said paper, having such a great dyeing power that only infinitely small per centages of printed paper could be used for manufacturing new paper. Moreover, onl an inferior qualityaoi paper was produce It has also been attempted to remove printersink from the paper but such attempts have not given any satisfactory result. This is due chiefly to the fact that printers ink mainly consists of soot mixed with oil and settled so firmly in the slim mass, when the printed paper'is treate that it is impossibletowash it out..-
This invention relates to a process by means of whichit is possible to free the printed paper from printers ink without the above mentioned disadvantages. V
The process chiefly consists in the soaked and divided pa er being treated in an alkaline solution '0 peroxids in the"presence of substances which during the process pass into a colloidal state. As peroxids the rium superoxid BaO and the like. As col;
loidal substances, either silicic acid, already in colloidal state, can be added or compounds can be used which, during the process, pass 1 into the colloidal state, for instance silicates,
. alumina compounds and the like. The silicic acid develops ina colloid state as the hydrosol' of the acid passes over'into the hydrogel. of the acid. Fine transparent flakes are then formed which may bacalled colloid silicic acid. It is preferred to employ the so-called ture. The attempts have, however, failed peroxids of alkalis or of earth alkalis may be soluble silicic acid which is on the market and consists of a compound of water glass and soda, which upon being dissolved in water undergoes a hydrolytic decomposition of such nature that the silicic acid is precipitated in colloidal form. This precipitation of the silicic acid commences after a few minutes and is completed within four or five hours. Of course,.th e rapidityof this preciptation depends upon the concentration and the temperature. 'Newly precipitated aluminum hvdroxid Al(OH) +xI-I,O acts in "the same manner.
mIt has been found that the fat contained in-printers ink, is modified in the alkaline. solution of the superoxids 111 such "manner that it loses its binding or cementm'g iorce,
Patented Apr. 4,1911.
whereupon it becomes possible for the printers ink to be-converted.into an emulsion by the colloidal silicic acid and thus easily separated from the fibers.
' The process is carried outdt'or instance,
in such manner that the old rinted paper is stirred in warm water, whereupon the above mentioned additions olf superoxids and colloidal silicic acid, are made. After the reaction is completed, the paper mass is separated from the liquid an'd'can be further purified by additional washing.
Compared to other bleaching substances suggested for the same purposesuch. as.
Javelle water chlorid of lime and the like,
the peroxids used in the process just described, have the great advantage that the fibers are not so strongly attacked as by the other substances. The peroxids on the con: trary act throughout in a harmless manner, so that the material bleached isnot damaged. Altogether the bleaching action of the peroxids in the present process plays merely a secondary part. Of great importance is the actionof the vperoxldson the printers ink of the paper, the oily bindin medium of which is resinified or saponifie and thus dissolved' The ink or soot nolonger adherin to the fiber, can be absorbed by, the colloi al silicic acid. This actionpf gelatin can be compared to the well known process of forming an emulsion when Washing with soap, in which it is assumed that the soap is hydrolytically split in the water into free alkali and aci -fatty acid-salt, the former dissolving the dirt'while the latter incloses and removes the particles of dirt during the washing action.' A similar dissolving, ab-
sorption and easy removal of printers ink has been impossible hitherto, so that the attempts to treat newspaper again were hitherto unsuccessful.
By means of the process according to this invention the said removal of printers ink can be effected in a sim le, quick and cheap manner, without the fi rs being damaged or partly destroyed, as is the case when chlorin compounds are used.
That what we claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
l. A process for removing printers ink from printed paper pulp by means of bleaching substances having an alkaline action, characterized by the printed paper pulp being treated with peroxids in the presence of substances which during the process pass into a colloidal state.
2. A process of removing printers ink from printed paper pulp by imeans of bleaching substances having an alkaline action, characterized by the printed paper pulp being treated with an alkaline solution of a peroxid of alkali in the presence of substances which during the process pass into a colloidal state.
3. A process for removing printers ink from printed paper pulp by means of bleaching substances having an alkaline action, characterized by the rinted aper pulp being treated with an alkaline so utlon of a peroxid of earth alkali in the presence of su stances which during the process pass into a. colloidal state.
4. A process for removing printers ink from printed paper pulp by means of bleaching substances having an alkaline action, characterized by the printed paper pulp being treated with peroxids and a substance being already in a colloidal state.
5. A process for removing printers ink from printed paper pulp by means of bleaching substances having an alkaline action, characterized by the printed aper pul being treated with peroxids and colloida l silicic acid.
In testimony whereof we have hereunto set our hands in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
