If any country, dependency, province or other subdivision of government shall forbid or restrict in any way the exportation of (whether by law, order, regulation, contractual relation or otherwise, directly or indirectly), or impose any export duty, export license fee or other export charge of any kind whatsoever (whether in the form of additional charge or license fee or otherwise) upon printing paper, or woodpulp or wood for use in the manufacture of woodpulp, the President may enter into negotiations with such country, dependency, province or other subdivision of government to secure the removal of such prohibition, restriction, export duty or other export charge, and if it is not removed he may, by proclamation, declare such failure of negotiations, setting forth the facts. Thereupon, and until such prohibition, restriction, export duty or other export charge is removed, there shall be imposed upon printing paper (other than cover paper, India paper and bible paper) provided for in subheadings 4802.54, 4802.55, 4802.56, 4802.57, 4802.58, 4802.61, 4802.62, and 4802.69, when imported either directly or indirectly from such country, dependency, province or other subdivision of government, an additional duty of 10 percent ad valorem and in addition thereto an amount equal to the highest export duty or other export charge imposed by such country, dependency, province or other subdivision of government, upon either an equal amount of printing paper or an amount of woodpulp or wood for use in the manufacture of woodpulp necessary to manufacture such printing paper.

  • Alternative Use of Deinking Sludge As a Source of Fibers in Fiber-Cement Manufacture
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by EPrints Complutense CELLULOSE CHEMISTRY AND TECHNOLOGY ALTERNATIVE USE OF DEINKING SLUDGE AS A SOURCE OF FIBERS IN FIBER-CEMENT MANUFACTURE ANGELES BLANCO, CARLOS NEGRO, ELENA FUENTE and LUIS MIGUEL SÁNCHEZ Department of Chemical Engineering, Chemistry Faculty, Avda. Complutense s/n 28040 Madrid, Spain The present paper, contributing to solving two different problems related both to the chemical industry and the environment, is a feasibility study on the utilization of the deinking sludge (the most important waste from papermaking) as a raw material for fiber-cement manufacture, in which asbestos has been recently replaced by other fibers because of the hazard it induces. The results obtained show that the use of deinking sludge as a source of cellulose in fiber-cement manufacture is feasible and could improve product strength, if 5% of the virgin fibers are replaced by fibers and fines from the deinking sludge. It is also possible to replace up to 10% of the virgin fibers, with no loss in product strength. These results, if confirmed on a mill scale, would improve the economy of the process, as due to lower waste costs. Keywords: fiber-cement, deinking sludge, recycling, waste management, sustainability, papermaking wastes INTRODUCTION As known, papermaking is an industry However, recycling operations, espe- leader from the standpoint of recycling and cially deinking, generate an important sustainability, the main reason being that quantity of wastes, representing 70% of the virgin and recycled fibers can be used wastes produced by the European pulp and together, sometimes contributing with paper industry.

  • Benefits of Polycups Stock Over Other Waste Paper Grades in Paper Recycling
    EDITORIAL bioresources.com Benefits of Polycups Stock over Other Waste Paper Grades in Paper Recycling Avdhesh K. Gangwar It is never too late or too early to invent alternative processes for the betterment of our routine life. For paper production, trees are being cut in huge quantities each day, and this directly affects our day to day life by making atmospheric conditions less favorable. Waste paper can be recycled on average 4 to 6 times while maintaining acceptable qualities in recycled paper. To save forest resources, we should move ahead towards using more and more waste paper for paper production. A wasted resource can be recycled either to make the same product or by manufacturing new products, e.g. cardboard boxes, newspaper, writing and printing papers, and paper bags, etc. Several waste paper grades are not being fully utilized, and their use might allow increased paper recycling to produce new recovered paper with specified paper qualities. Polycup stock is an example of an under-utilized type of wastepaper that has the potential to substitute effectively for virgin pulp production. Keywords: Deinking; Paper grades; Paper recycling; Polycups Contact information: Department of Biotechnology, Thapar University, P. O. Box 32, Pin- 147004, Patiala, India; [email protected] Recycle more to save our environment, but is it really easy to do? This editorial considers a way to minimize waste by using a neglected waste paper grade for the manufacture of paper. Ordinarily, for this to happen, adequate deinking of recycled fibre is needed to remove all ink and other unwanted materials from the secondary fibres.

  • Deinking of HP Digital Commercial Prints: Effect of Chemicals and Their Loadings on Deinkability
    Deinking of HP Digital Commercial Prints: Effect of Chemicals and Their Loadings on Deinkability Hou T. Ng, Manoj K. Bhattacharyya, Laurie S. Mittelstadt, Eric G. Hanson HP Laboratories HPL- 2009-310 Keyword(s): deinking, LEP, neutral chemistry, ethoxylated fatty alochol Abstract: Here we show that the effect of chemicals and their specific loadings play a dominant role on the outcome of a deinking process. More specifically, we demonstrate that good deinkability of HP digital commercial prints (i.e. liquid-electrophotographic (LEP), dry-EP and inkjet (IJ) prints) can be achieved with our highly efficient neutral deinking chemistry (coded HPE6S4), which is based on readily available non-proprietary chemicals. We found a direct correlation of the chemical effects to the ink-particle speck contamination and its particle-size distribution. Our excellent results compared favorably to that obtained with the traditional deinking chemistry. Our approach can be readily scalable for adaption in the paper recycling mills.

  • Deinking and Reuse of Old Coloured Newsprint
    ---_._------_._---,------------- Journal of Scientific & Industrial Research Vol. 60, August 2001, pp 649-654 Deinking and Reuse of Old Coloured Newsprint Magda G El-Meligy' and Maha M Ibrahim Cellulose and Paper Department, National Research Centre, Dokki, Cairo, Egypt Received: 28 August 2000; accepted: 30 April 2001 Due to increase in paper product requirements and the sources for production gradually decreasing the percentage of deinked newsprint and other grades is expected to increase considerably over the next few years. About 80 per cent of all waste paper comes from three sources: Corrugated boxes, Newspapers, and Office papers. It is also observed that the biggest users of deinked waste paper are newsprint, tissue or other bright grades'.As a result of the technological progress, use of colour in newspaper is becoming increasingly popular. In this work, oxidant acids such as sulphuric or acetic acids however play an important role for disintegrating the coloured materials from the old coloured newsprint in certain condition such as temperature. concentration of acid, and time. The paper produced has satisfactory optical and physical properties but a slight decrease in the mechanical properties, where addition of some additives such as polyvinyl alcohol, new pulp or paper shaving at certain percent- age, improved these properties. Introduction is affected not only by the amount of ink present but also by the size distribution of the ink particles".
