Disc separation: optimization of contaminant removal

Newsprint commonly encountered adhesives from a pulp slurry made from corrugated Recycling fiberboard sheets. At optimum conditions, the disc separator removed 90.4% of Separation the bot-melt adhesives and 86.9% of the pressure-sensitive adhesives, Wastepapers respectively, in a single pass. This was accomplished with fiber losses of 7.7% and 16.9%, respectively. Compared with industrial separation equipment, optimized disc separation removed contaminants more effectively with lower
