Definitions

  • the invention relates to a process for removing contaminants from waste paper.
  • the collected waste paper comprises newspapers, magazines, cardboard boxes and so forth and is usually printed with various types of ink.
  • the waste paper will comprise several other contaminants, such as filler compounds. It is necessary that the various contaminants present in the waste paper are removed if it is desired to produce new (i.e. recycled) paper which is sufficiently white in color.
  • new (i.e. recycled) paper which is sufficiently white in color.
  • the extent in which the contaminants have to removed will vary. For applications such as stationery or paper for glossy magazines a very high degree of whiteness is required. For other applications, such as newsprint paper, paper having a more or less gray shade may be acceptable.
  • flotation deinking is based on the difference in hydrophobic nature of the paper fibers and the ink. With the exception of water-based (including flexographic) inks, ink particles are more hydrophobic than paper fibers. In some cases, chemicals are added to increase the difference in hydrophobic nature. Further, it has been found that the deinking of magazines and newspapers combined leads to better results than the deinking of newspapers alone. Due to the chemical complexity of the process, an explanation for this phenomenon has not yet been found.
  • the ink particles In order for the flotation process to be successful, a number of interactions must occur. First of all, the ink particles must be sufficiently free to have the opportunity to collide with an air bubble. The ink particles should thus not be attached or bound to fiber surfaces, or trapped in fibrillar areas. Further, the collision between an ink particle and an air bubble must provide sufficient energy for a complex to be formed, which complex must rise to the surface, along with the other air bubbles, and be removed.
  • the air bubbles used have a minimal diameter of approximately half a centimeter. Smaller bubbles, as are used in dissolved air flotation, would reduce the chance of collision with an ink particle too much and tend to increase the loss of paper fibers. Furthermore, a high turbulence because of for instance increased air injection should, according to McKinney, be avoided, as this could lead to the breaking up of the ink-bubble complexes and might prevent the complexes from rising to the surface.
  • EP-A-0 798 416 discloses a method wherein contaminants and paper fibers are separated from each other in a flotation method, while water is being sprayed on top of the waste paper suspension.
  • EP-A-0 537 416 a tertiary flotation treatment of waste paper is described. In this treatment, paper fibers are recovered, which were removed in the flotation from the waste paper suspension along with contaminants.
  • the invention relates to a process for removing contaminants from waste paper comprising a) leading an inert gas through an aqueous pulp in a vessel, which pulp comprises waste paper fibers and contaminants, to produce a foam comprising at least part of the contaminants, which foam forms a layer on top of the pulp, and b) removing foam from the vessel .
  • a reduction in fiber loss of up to 50% is achieved.
  • the amount of contaminants that is removed in a process according to the invention may be significantly improved.
  • the foam layer that is formed in a process according to the invention, two gradients have been observed. In the most upward regions of the foam layer, lower concentrations of paper fibers occur m the foam when compared to the downward regions of the foam layer. For the concentration of contaminants m the foam layer, a gradient m the opposite direction has been observed. Thus, the foam layer establishes selectivity m a process of removing contaminants from the waste paper.
  • the waste paper that is purified m a process according to the invention may be any form of paper that has been used for any sort of purpose. Suitable stocks include newspapers, magazines, cardboard boxes and so forth. These stocks may be processed separately or combined. Preferably, a mixture of different sorts of waste paper (for instance both newspapers and magazines) is purified, which is believed to lead to a more efficient removal of contaminants. Moreover, a labor and/or cost intensive sorting step may thus be avoided.
  • the waste paper is processed m the form of an aqueous pulp.
  • the waste paper is mixed with a suitable amount of water, and the obtained mixture is stirred, minced and/or chopped, so that the paper product mainly falls apart into paper fibers.
  • the amount of water added will usually be chosen such that a pulp is obtained which comprises of from 0.5 to 2.5 weight percent of paper fibers, based on the pulp. It is preferred that the pulp comprises more than 1 weight percent of paper fibers. In a highly preferred embodiment, the pulp comprises more than 1.5 weight percent of waste paper fibers.
  • the aqueous pulp will generally comprise (paper) fibers, filler compounds and ink.
  • the pulp When the pulp is formed from waste paper directly after having been collected after its use, the pulp will often also comprise other materials, which may have been part of a paper product, such as metals (from staples and the like) or adhesives (from labels, book bindings and the like) , but also materials which accidentally or erroneously have been discarded in the same effluent stream as the waste paper, such as glass or plastics. These materials may be removed from the pulp in a conventional manner, e.g. by use of a cyclone and/or a sieve, before a process according to the invention is carried out.
  • contaminants are removed from the aqueous pulp by using a foam fractionation technique.
  • an inert gas is lead through the pulp to produce a foam layer on top of the pulp.
  • air is bubbled through an aqueous pulp of waste paper.
  • the ratio of the height of the foam layer to the height of the pulp layer is at least three, preferably at least five, more preferably at least 10.
  • a highly selective removal of contaminants is achieved by performing the process such that a foam layer of at least 30 cm high is produced. Even better results are achieved when a foam layer of even greater height is produced.
  • a foam layer of at least 50 cm, more preferred at least 100 cm is produced.
  • the size of the air bubbles is much less relevant .
  • the residence time of the paper pulp in a process according to the invention may be shorter than that in a flotation process.
  • Typical residence times in a process according to the invention are between 1 and 4 minutes, which is in the order of a factor 2-3 less than in conventional flotation processes .
  • the inert gas may be any gas which does not chemically react with the materials present in the pulp and which is capable of physically interacting with the contaminants to be removed. Suitable gases include air, and nitrogen gas. For economic reasons, air will generally be used as the inert gas. The amount of gas used will be adjusted to generate the desired amount of foam in a manner which is within the normal skill of the skilled person.
  • the amount of added gas will be at least 1 liter per liter of the added pulp.
  • the ratio of the gas flow with respect to the pulp flow will preferably be at least 100 vol.%, preferably at least 200 vol . % .
  • said ratio will usually not exceed 500 vol . % .
  • a process according to the invention can suitably be carried out at a temperature of from 25 to 45°C.
  • the temperature is chosen around 35°C. It has been found that temperatures within the specified ranges have a beneficial on the formation of a foam.
  • water is sprayed on top of the foam layer.
  • the result of the spraying of the water is that an even smaller amount of paper fibers will be removed together with the foam. In other words, the selectivity of the process is enhanced by the spraying of the water.
  • the spraying is performed in such a manner that the amount of water sprayed is evenly distributed over the upper surface of the foam layer.
  • the amount of water sprayed is adjusted so that the foam does not collapse under the force of the falling water, but that the production of foam is optimally enhanced.
  • the ratio of the flow of the spraying water with respect to the pulp flow in the process is below 5 vol . % .
  • the aqueous pulp is kept in turbulent conditions. In contrast to what is described by Mckinney, it has now been found that it is 7
  • a pulp having a higher fiber consistency (concentration) can be processed.
  • the desired turbulence may be created in any known manner. It is for instance possible to stir or shake the pulp, or to increase the flow (velocity) of the inlet gas stream. It is also possible to perform the present process in a vessel comprising protuberances in one or more side-walls, which have the effect that the inert gas that is lead through the pulp creates a turbulence. This latter embodiment will be further elucidated hereinbelow. It has further been found that a high turbulence is beneficial to the formation of foam. Also, homogenization of the pulp will prevent the flocculation of the paper fibers in the pulp. Flocculation may result in encapsulation of contaminants in fiber aggregates, because of which a certain amount of contaminants will not be removed in the process.
  • a process according to the invention can suitably be carried out in a vessel comprising an upward tapering, for example frustoconical first compartment, a second compartment extending from the open top side upwardly, like a neck.

Due to the layout and inter alia the high turbulence in the aqueous pulp and the air inlet foam is being created in at least the second compartment and, preferably, near the tapering top side of the first compartment. Due to the relatively large height of the second compartment and the narrow cross section thereof a foam layer having a large height is being created, providing for sufficient fractionation within the foam. Over the open top end of the second compartment spraying means are provided for spraying water on top of the foam layer, for even further enhancing fractionation within the foam.
