Understanding The Deinking Process in Paper Industry

In today’s world where the sustainability is a necessity, the paper recycling industry plays a crucial role in reducing waste and conserving resources. Using recycled paper for your needs can reduce the pollution as well as deforestation. But how does the recycling of paper work? The deinking process in the paper industry plays a crucial role in the recycling of paper to make it reusable.

The deinking process removes ink from paper fibers, allowing for the production of high-quality recycled paper. This blog will delve into how the deinking process works and highlight Parason Machinery’s state-of-the-art deinking systems and machinery, which are at the forefront of this essential industry.

What is Deinking?

The Deinking Process in the paper industry is the process of removing ink from paper fibers to produce clean and high-quality recycled paper. This is a crucial step in the paper recycling process as it ensures the final product is free from ink residues and other contaminants.

The deinking process in the paper industry involves several stages including cleaning, flotation, and washing.

How Does the Deinking Process in The Paper Industry Work?

The recycling of the paper starts from the pulping process where the waste paper is mixed in water to create a slurry. This mixture helps to separate the fiber and loosen the ink particles from the paper.

The pulping is followed by the screening and cleaning methods where the slurry undergoes from a process where the other contaminants are removed and then the pulp gets ready for further process. The dirt particles and large contaminants are separated from pulp in different processes.

Once the pulp slurry is clean from the foreign contaminants it is forwarded further for the deinking process. Let’s understand the deinking process in paper industry in detail now.

The deinking process allows the removal of ink from used paper to produce clean, high-quality recycled pulp. The operation of deinking involves the deinking system. Parason is one of the leading paper mill machine manufacturers and also supplies the deinking system and machinery.

In the deinking system a deinking cell is featured with multiple cells arranged in series. Let’s understand the step-by-step process:

Cell Configuration:

The Parason Deinking Cell features multiple cells arranged in series, each with an elliptical shape.

A baffle runs the length of each cell, separating the suspension chamber for efficient processing.

Introduction of Air and Pulp:

The pulp stock is then introduced into the cell with air at atmospheric pressure. This is done by specially designed injector nozzle.

This injector nozzle generates a negative pressure, creating microturbulence and a range of bubble sizes essential for removing various particle sizes.

Optimization of Brightness and Cleanliness:

The injectors control the amount of air and bubble size, enhancing the brightness of the pulp and effectively reducing dirt, specks, and stickies.

The deinked pulp moves from the bottom of one cell to the next, while ink-laden foam is directed to a foam chamber with a motorized paddle.

Continuous Flotation Process:

The flotation process operates continuously, efficiently removing ink particles.

Interconnected cells require a level control system for smooth operation.

Primary and Secondary Stages:

The primary flotation stage ensures high stock purity.

The secondary stage optimizes flotation for maximum fiber recovery, maintaining brightness and cleanliness.

Deaeration and Fiber Recovery:

A Deaerator cyclone removes air from the stock, recovering usable fiber from the foam.

Unique Features of the Parason Deinking Cell

The deinking cell achieves the highest possible degree of brightness and improved optical cleanliness in recovered paper stock.

The system operates efficiently without any sizing restrictions and uses a single-level control loop.

The flotation process is optimized in the secondary stage to maximize yield without compromising brightness and cleanliness.

The deinking process is designed to minimize fiber loss, with the foam treated in a cascade process to recover as much fiber as possible.

The system rejects a high percentage of ash, further reducing fiber loss and ensuring clean, high-quality recycled pulp.

By understanding and implementing these advanced principles and features, the Parason Deinking Cell enhances the efficiency and quality of the deinking process in the paper industry, making it an invaluable asset in the paper recycling industry.

Parason Machinery is a leader in the paper recycling industry, offering cutting-edge deinking systems for deinking process in the paper industry and machinery that provide numerous benefits in the aper mills.
