Recycling and Deinking of Recovered Paper

Recycling and Deinking of Recovered Paper, 2nd Edition outlines the technical foundation of modern secondary fiber processing and management. Author Pratima Bajpai draws upon roughly forty years of research and industrial consulting experience to present established methods for recovering and handling paper stock.

The material reviews front-end operations that prepare recovered paper for manufacturing. Readers examine paper grading systems, sorting methodologies, municipal collection structures, and regulatory statutes governing recycled fiber usage. It subsequently addresses core processing mechanics, highlighting developments in pulping, cleaning, screening, and flotation deinking systems.

Beyond traditional paper production, the text explores broader environmental aspects and evaluates practical non-papermaking applications for recovered paper. This content aligns with the needs of plant managers, process engineers, consultants, and technical researchers, as well as undergraduate and doctoral students in paper science, biomass conversion, and environmental disciplines.
