Mathematical modelling of the flotation deinking process

Semi-Empirical Modelling and Management of Flotation Deinking Banks by Process Simulation

Mathematical Modelling for Optimizing the Electro-Flotation Process of Water Treatment

Nowadays recycling wastewater is a task in progress. New ways of contamination have appeared together with the technology development. Our article deals with the case of wastewater contaminated with dispersed colorants that are used during the decoration of paper boxes for packaging various products. The wastewater treatment is based on the electro-flotation process. The system is fully automat...

Natural Surfactants for Flotation Deinking in Paper Recycling

The objective of this research was to evaluate new types of surfactants based on renewable materials (sugar and protein-based surfactants) for use in ink removal from recycled paper via flotation deinking. By applying green chemistry approaches we aim to minimize the environmental impact of deinking agents and also to open an avenue for a number of products that are to be generated from the uti...

Industrial Flotation Process Modelling : Rtd Measurement by Radioactive Tracer Technique

The residence time of liquid and solid was determined in flotation banks of mechanical cells and flotation columns at Salvador Division, Codelco-Chile. The estimation was developed from residence time distribution (RTD) measurements using radioactive tracers. Results allowed the estimation of effective pulp volumes in flotation banks and columns. It was found that industrial flotation banks are...

IPST Technical Paper Series Number 867 Flotation Deinking of Old Newsprint Using Poly(Diallylmethylammonium Chloride) as a Single Deinking Agent

Flotation deinking of old newsprint (ONP) using polydiallyldimethylammonium chloride (polyDADMAC) as the only deinking agent was studied. The results demonstrate that polyDADMAC can neutralize dissolved anionics to form small particles. These small particles, together with ink, filler, and fines, strongly adsorbed onto air bubble surfaces and functioned as particle foaming agents. Therefore, no...
