The present invention discloses a preparation method and recycling method for degradable and recyclable paper plastics with water resistance and high-strength. By coating cyclic carbonate and amine compounds on paper, these compounds penetrate the paper's fiber structure, followed by curing treatment, resulting in a recyclable, degradable, and reprocessed paper plastic material with water resistance and high-strength. This method involves coating only cyclic carbonate and amines onto the paper, which, after heating, yields the paper plastic. The invention offers versatility, enhancing various paper types with improved mechanical properties, temperature resistance, water resistance, and solvent resistance while maintaining degradation capability. The paper plastic exhibits excellent self-healing, plasticity, degradation, and reprocessing properties. The process method is straightforward and user-friendly, making it suitable for industrial-scale production.

The present invention concerns a facility for cleaning cigarette butts, including a treatment tank configured to treat the cigarette butts in order to extract therefrom fibres to be depolluted, and depollution means configured to depollute the fibres by placing them in contact with a fluid in the supercritical state, referred to as supercritical fluid.

The present invention provides a novel method and composition for enhancing the efficiency of starch adsorption (i.e., starch trapping) from starch-containing furnishes comprising high content of recycled fibers for use in paper making processes such as pulp, paper, or board production. A novel polymer coagulation system is disclosed in which two quick inversion cationic emulsion polymers (starch trapping polymers A and B) are co-mixed at optimal blend ratios to meet specific recycled fiber and process water requirements for different recycled fiber plants and added to furnishes prior to formation of paper or board in a paper machine. Co-mixed solutions of starch trapping polymers A and B provide synergistic enhancements in (i) starch trapping efficiency and (ii) starch retention in the produced paper or board over equivalent dosage levels of singly administered polymer A, polymer B, or conventional starch trapping products, without over-flocculation or formation of stickies.

In some embodiments, a method relates to removal of optical brightening agents (OBA) from a substrate using peracetate oxidant solutions. A method may include reducing the microbial load in white water of water recycle loops. The methods may include providing a peracetate oxidant solution. The peracetate solution may include peracetate anions and a peracid. In some embodiments, the peracetate solution may include a pH from about pH 10 to about pH 12. In some embodiments, the peracetate solution has a molar ratio of peracetate anions to peracid ranging from about 60:1 to about 6000:1. In some embodiments, the peracetate solution has a molar ratio of peracetate to hydrogen peroxide of greater than about 16:1. The peracetate solution may provide bleaching, sanitizing and/or disinfection of water, pulp, substrates and/or surfaces. The peracetate oxidant solution may provide enhanced separation of dyeing agents from a substrate.

A method for the physical reutilization of siliconized papers includes at least a first step (a), treating at least one siliconized paper by contacting it with at least one alcohol and at least one alkali metal alkoxide with introduction of heat, and without removing from the reaction mixture any water that occurs, and then, a second step (b), removing the at least one desiliconized paper resulting from the first step (a) from the optionally previously neutralized reaction mixture.

A recycled sheet in which fibers are bonded via an additive agent includes a history including information that is related to characteristics.

Processes for converting lignocellulose to feedstock and downstream products are disclosed. The processes may include acid treatment of lignocellulose to produce a fermentation feedstock. In various instances, the processes include recovery or recycling of acid, such as recovery of hydrochloric acid from concentrated and/or dilute streams. Downstream products may include acrylic acid-based products such as diapers, paper and paper-based products, ethanol, biofuels such as biodiesel and fuel additives, and detergents.

A sheet manufacturing apparatus includes: a defibrating unit which defibrates a raw material including at least fibers; an addition unit which adds an additive agent to a defibrated material which is defibrated in the defibrating unit; and a sheet forming unit which forms a sheet by bonding the plurality of fibers to each other via the additive agent. According to a history of the raw material, an amount of the additive agent which is fed by the addition unit varies. In addition, there is provided a sheet manufacturing method, including: defibrating the raw material which includes at least fibers; adding the additive agent to the defibrated material; and bonding the plurality of fibers to each other via the additive agent. According to the history of the raw material, a feed amount of the additive agent with respect to the raw material varies.

A recycled pulp that is reusable sanitary products is efficiently manufactured by recovering pulp fiber from used sanitary products containing the pulp fiber and a polymer absorbent. The method of the present invention comprises: a step applying a mechanical force to the used sanitary products in an aqueous solution containing a polyvalent metal ion or an acidic aqueous solution with a pH of 2.5 or lower and thus degrading the used sanitary products into the pulp fiber and other materials; a step separating the pulp fiber from the mixture of the pulp fiber and other materials that has been formed in the degradation step; and a step treating the pulp fiber thus separated with an ozone-containing aqueous solution with a pH of 2.5 or lower.
