Abstract
The disclosure concerns a method and apparatus for producing a suspension of fibrous material from waste-paper. Following dissolving the waste-paper, cleaning the dissolved suspension and stain removal, the suspension is floated in series of flotation cells. The suspension is first floated through a first series of flotation cells. Thinning liquid medium, such as water, is added to the suspension. It is then floated through a second series of flotation cells. In one embodiment, the cells of the second series are larger than the cells of the first series. Following the second series of cells, the material floated from the second cells is delivered to another cell. In another embodiment, the cells of the second series are themselves divided into two separate rows of cells and the suspension is divided among the rows of second cells. In this embodiment, following flotation through the second cells, the material floated from the second cells is next delivered to joint secondary cells.
