Miller, Jan D. | Magnetic separation for wastepaper recycle mills | An alternative approach to the conventional washing and flotation techniques for de-inking of mixed office waste (MOW) is magnetic separation. The use of magnetic de-inking has great potential to improve the efficiency of ink removal due to the magnetic content of toners. It is shown experimen... | Deinking; Paper pulp; Wastepaper; Magnetic separation | 1997 |
