Abstract

Abstract
The aim of this study is investigate the effect of Tapioca and Corn cationic starch on the mechanical characteristics of paper from old corrugated containers. The paper recycling decrease its properties and affected on the paper quality. For promoting these fibers may be effective the use of different treatments. Cationic starch is effective treatment for recycled fibers Promotion.
In this study, the cationic starch of Tapioca and Corn, each at three different levels 0.5, 1 and 1.5 % and comparison with samples (without cationic stretch). Hand sheets with a grammag of 120 g/m2 were made and their strength properties were measured. As well as, the absorption rates of two kinds of starch on the pulp were calculated using the Acid- Phenol method. The results indicated that the use of 1.5% of Tapioca starch and 1% Corn starch had an optimum effect in increasing the strength of the produced paper. Concerning the comparison of these different types of starch, the tapioca starch was more effective than the corn starch.
