Paper bulking promoter, highly bulky pulp sheet, and process for producing the pulp sheet

A liquid deinking composition comprising (a) a fatty acid mixture containing 40 to 90 weight % of saturated fatty acids having 12 to 14 carbon atoms and less than 60 weight % of saturated fatty acids having 16 to 18 carbon atoms, (b) a nonionic surfactant with HLB of 2 to 12 in a proportion of (a)/(b)=5/95 to 40/60 (weight ratio), and (c) 0 to 20 weight % (based on the composition) of water. No crystals of fatty acids are precipitated at ambient temperatures, and the separation, solidification or precipitation of crystals due to a temperature change is not caused. Further, the handling property is improved because of the liquid form.

Deinking composition comprising a fatty acid mixture and a nonionic

Deinking agent represented by the following formula (I):

Deinking agent with polyoxyalkylene group consisting of specific block

In the deinking of feed waste papers comprising magazines and newspapers at a weight ratio of magazine to newspaper of from 5/95 to 60/40, a reclaimed pulp with excellent qualities can be obtained by adjusting the treating temperature in the flotation step to 40.degree. to 80.degree. C. and adding a deinking agent, which contains an alkylene oxide adduct of an oil or fat, wherein said alkylene oxide adduct comprises ethylene oxide and propylene oxide added at a molar ratio of ethylene oxide to propylene oxide of from 1/1 to 5/1, and has a cloud point of 45.degree. to 90.degree. C., at least in one of the steps of the deinking process.

High temperature deinking method using an alkylene oxide adduct

A deinking method which comprises adding a specified nonionic surfactant having a specified solubility parameter as an essential component, during in the pulping step (the preceding step) and in any of the subsequent steps (the succeeding step). By use of the deinking surfactant composition and the deinking method of the present invention, an excellent deinking performance, including an elevated whiteness, a decrease in the number of unliberated large ink spots and an improved defoaming property of the flotation reject, can be achieved in deinking waste papers, in particular, waste OA papers and blends containing thereof.

Deinking agent for regenerating waste printed paper comprising reaction

A deinking composition for use in the reclamation of waste paper consisting essentially of a mixture of higher fatty acids having 8 to 24 carbon atoms, or salts thereof, wherein the average carbon atom number of said fatty acids in said mixture ranges from 12.7 to 21.5, and wherein the content of higher fatty acids having 20 to 24 carbon atoms or salts thereof, ranges from 9.6 to 70.6% by weight, said mixture having an iodine value (IV) of not greater than 45.

Deinking method and deinking composition

Deinking agent

A deinking composition comprising a deinking agent which is a reaction product obtained by:

A deinking composition comprising a reaction product of a glyceride mixture, derived from natural oil and fat with ethylene oxide and propylene oxide. The glyceride mixture comprises 5 to 10 percent by weight of monoglycerides, 30 to 45 percent by weight of diglycerides and 50 to 70 percent by weight of triglycerides. The reaction product has a molar ratio of ethylene oxide to propylene oxide in the range of 1.8 to 2.2 and has, on average, from 30 to 80 moles of added ethylene oxide per mole of glycerides.

A deinking composition is used for reclamation of waste paper and comprises (a) an alkylene oxide adduct to a mixture of a natural oil or fat and a polyhydric alcohol and (b-1) an alkylene oxide adduct of a higher alcohol, (b-2) a sulfate of (b-1) or (b-3) a higher fatty acid.
