The provided diagram demonstrates the process of creating recycled paper.
Overall, the process comprises four primary stages, commencing with making pulp, and culminating with the final recycled products being rolled.
In the initial stage, used papers are collected, placed on a conveyor belt and transferred to a tank filled with water and chemicals. Subsequently, the paper is converted into an unfiltered pulp for following stages. After that, the mixture is placed in a filter tank to extract the liquid, then transferring the filtered pulp to an additional keg.
In terms of the cleaning and papermaking processes, the pulp is placed in a sizable floatation tank that is supplied with soap and water. To improve the pulp’s purity and whiteness, air is injected into the tank to aid in the ink’s removal. After being de-inked, the pulp is transferred to a different tank that contains chemicals and water for one last cleaning, via a clean pulp. Water is removed from the pulp by passing it through heated rollers in the following stage. Long rolls of recyclable paper are finally created.
