Abstract
Air froth flotation was applied to OCC recycling process as a new pulp fractionation method and the effects of strength and drainage properties of testliner were also investigated. Fines including inks, stickies, and inorganic substances in OCC stock furnish were efficiently separated by the flotation. After the flotation, selective enzymatic treatment on the flotation reject was separately preformed, and then, the refined long fiber(flotation accept) portion was combined again with the fines(flotation reject) fraction for papermaking. This combination process was found to be effective in improving strength and drainage properties of testliner based on 100% OCC.
