High brightness as well as as low dirt level are required for the deinked pulp for printing paper. The good bleachability and ink-removal efficiency from fibers are essential for manufacturing the deinked pulp with high brightness.
This paper deals with two important processes, i.e., the detachment of ink from fibers and the removal of ink particles suspending in the pulp slurry. The emphasis is on the mechanism and the technique of the detachment of ink from fibers.
