Paper chips

Paper Removal. PET, HDPE, and aluminum cover a particularly wide distribution of densities. Paper, poly(vinyl acetate), and HDPE have densities which are quite similar, though. However, the paper chips are the lightest of all components, even if they are not the most dense. This is because the paper is the thinnest component present the others are all of rather thick construction. 

Lennard We will lake small paper chips. 

Lennard Or we put those [paper chips] into the water those are the fish then. 

Paul There is, they sink, they [the paper chips] sink. One is sinking. 

They [the paper chips] do not sink. They are not pushed down. 

One of the best known color classification systems is that of Munsell which was devised in the early part of this century. The System relies on three attributes of color hue, chroma, and value. Hue refers to the color quality that is described by words like red, blue, and green in other words, the name of the color. Chroma is used to describe the purity or saturation of a color. It may be thought of as how dirty or clean a color is perceived to be. Value is the color term which we use to describe how light or dark a color is. The Munsell system plots color on a three-dimensional coordinate system in which the vertical axis represents value and the radial axis represents chroma. The various hues are arranged around the periphery of the three-dimensional solid. The Munsell Book of Color is a compilation of some 1500 painted paper chips which allow for comparison with a sample color. Approximately 100,000 colors can be distinguished in the Munsell system by interpolation [15]. A color representation of the Munsell system can be found in the books by Billmeyer and Saltzman [6], Overheim and Wagner [11], and Hunt [14] or on the Munsell homepage [16]. 

In a 250 ml. separatory funnel place 25 g. of anhydrous feri.-butyl alcohol (b.p. 82-83°, m.p. 25°) (1) and 85 ml. of concentrated hydrochloric acid (2) and shake the mixture from time to time during 20 minutes. After each shaking, loosen the stopper to relieve any internal pressure. Allow the mixture to stand for a few minutes until the layers have separated sharply draw off and discard the lower acid layer. Wash the halide with 20 ml. of 5 per cent, sodium bicarbonate solution and then with 20 ml. of water. Dry the preparation with 5 g. of anhydrous calcium chloride or anhydrous calcium, sulphate. Decant the dried liquid through a funnel supporting a fluted Alter paper or a small plug of cotton wool into a 100 ml. distilling flask, add 2-3 chips of porous porcelain, and distil. Collect the fraction boiling at 49-51°. The yield of feri.-butyl chloride is 28 g. 

Reinforcement. PVA fiber in the form of short cut chips having a length of several millimeters to several tens of millimeters is widely used as raw material for paper and for reinforcing plastics, cement, and the like, and has been acquiring more and more significance. 

The TMP process is similar to the RMP process except that after chip washing, a steaming vessel is inserted to achieve the thermoplasticization of the lignin in the wood. The production of thermomechanical pulps increased dramatically after the introduction of this method in the early 1970s. Because these pulps can be substituted for conventional groundwood pulps in newsprint blends to give a stronger paper, lower quantities of the more expensive, lower yield chemical pulps are required. 

Chemical charge, Hquor composition, time of heatup, and time at temperature of reaction are all functions of the wood species or species mix being digested and the intended use of the pulp. A typical set of conditions for southern pine chips in the production of bleachable-grade pulp for fine papers is active alkaH, 18% sulfidity, 25% and Hquor-to-wood ratio, 4 1. Time of heatup is 90 min to 170°C time at temperature of reaction, 90 min at 170°C. Hardwoods require less vigorous conditions primarily because of the lower initial lignin content.

In 1985, the Emanuel Tire Company in Baltimore processed more than 3 x 10 tires into chips, which are mostly sold to pulp and paper mills as a supplemental fuel the remainder is sold to reclaiming facHities or landfiUed. Only 20% of passenger tires are suitable for recapping. Nonrecappable tires are shredded into 5-cm chips. The Emanuel Tire operation is capable of reducing the 5-cm chips to smaller sizes. Shredded waste tire chips can be granulated into very fine wire and fabric-free mbber particles. 

Tall oil rosin is a by-product of paper manufacturing. Raw wood chips are digested under heat and pressure with a mixture of sodium hydroxide and sodium sulfide. Soluble sodium salts of lignin, rosin, and fatty acids are formed, which are removed from the wood pulp as a dark solution. The soaps of the rosin and fatty acids float to the top of the mixture, where they are skimmed off and treated with sulfuric acid to free the rosin and fatty acids. This mixture, known as cmde tall oil (CTO), is refined further to remove color and odor bodies fractional distillation separates the tall oil rosin acids from the fatty acids (see Tall oil). 

The principle uses of Na2S04 are in the manufacture of paper, soaps, and detergents. These accounted for 65% of U.S. consumption from 1990 to 1995, representing a significant shift from 1980 when paper production alone consumed 67%. Pulp (qv) and paper consume only 25% (2). The kraft paper process uses a mixture of sodium sulfide and sodium hydroxide to digest wood chips. Both the sulfide and hydroxide are generated, starting with sodium sulfate as the raw material. 

Wood Delignijication. The production of wood pulp (qv) for the paper (qv) industry consists of removing lignin (qv) from wood chips, thus freeing the ceUulose fibers. An aqueous solution containing 30—70 wt % sulfolane efficiently extracts the lignin from aspen. Western hemlock, and Southern pine wood chips. Pulp yields are from 50—75% (43,44). 

Paper Pulping, Resins and Additives. Considerable interest has been generated in the sulfur-free deHgnification of wood chips with EDA—soda Hquors since the late 1970s (242—244), with more recent interest in EDA—sulfide pulping (245,246). Improved rates of EDA recovery have been developed for the latter process (247). 

Filter Matrix The most common filter substrates in use today are soils or compost produced from leaves, bark, wood chips, activated sludge, paper, or other organic materials. In selecting a proper filter substrate for a specific use, the following should be considered ... 

Also, pilot plant and laboratory scale anaerobic studies have demonstrated successful treatment of wastewaters of 5,000 to 50,000 mg/L GOD from corn chips containing soluble and colloidal corn starch and protein, cheese whey, organic chemicals, food, bakeiy, breweiy, paper mill foul condensate, paint, and numerous other hazardous anci non-hazardous materials. 

The white cast irons and their low alloys have good abrasion resistance properties [2,3]. White cast irons are used for grinding balls, segments for mill liners and slurry pumps. In the ceramic industry they are used for muller tyres and augers in the pulp and paper industry for attrition mill plates and chip feeders and in the paint industry for balls for grinding pigments.
