The Integrated Recycled Paper Mill (IRPM)

Monitoring/characterization of stickies contaminants coming from a papermaking plant – Toward an innovative exploitation of the screen rejects to levulinic acid

“…Anyway, the simplest and most widely way for energy recovery remains incineration. By this route, rejects and residues in the production of brown packaging paper based on 100 % recycled paper can be used to generate 20-35 % of the energy needs of a paper mill (Menke, 2013). In order to verify this potential use, some targeted physicochemical properties of our screen rejects were evaluated, including elemental composition, heating value, moisture and ash content.…”
