Abstract

Recycled fibers usually give slow drainage in the paper forming zone on papermachine, which limit the application of more refining to the fibers for improving paper strength and formation. To use recycled fibers, especially, OCC, more effectively, developing very efficient handling technique of short fibers and fines is inevitable. We tried to make hard flocs of fractionated short fibers and fines, which were the main cause of slow drainage, by adding excessive amount of retention aid on them. This technique was proved to increase drainage with no difference in strength properties, compared to the conventional technique of adding the same amount of polymers to the whole furnish in the lab test. The bonding capability of short fibers and fines in Korean OCC were very poor to be considered as ´fillers´in paper products. Various chemical treatment on the short fibers and fines of the Korean OCC did not improve their bonding and optical properties. One of the reasons of no improvement in their properties was thought to be their high amount of ashes (over 30% in the fractionated samples).
