Properties and treatments of pulps from recycled paper. Part I. Physical and chemical properties of pulps
1999
Wistara, Nyoman | Young, Raymond A.
The mechanical, physical, and chemical properties of recycled pulps were evaluated after a series of treatments designed to improve and/or modify the pulp characteristics. Tensile strength, bursting strength, and apparent density of the pulps decreased with recycling. However, the tear strength, in most cases, increased after the first recycle and then decreased after the second recycle. Carboxyl content and WRV of pulps also decreased with recycling. Chemical treatments did not increase the bonding ability of recycled pulps and, in most cases, decreased the physical properties of the pulps. Altering the physical state of the cellulose microstructure through additional swelling did not appear to be a significant factor for strength restoration. It may be that the hemicelluloses plan a greater role in recycling than originally thought.
