Abstract

Stickies is among the major challenges in paper recycling mills. This substance deposits on paper machine components and cause to break paper web as well as loss of end product quality. So, it is necessary to control the stickies and lessen its detrimental effects. It is known that cationic polymers as fixing agents can control the stickies efficiently. Therefore, the control of stickies of OCC pulp using a commercial cationic polymer called GL at 0.4, 0.8 and 1.2 percent based on oven dry weight of pulp at pH 4 and pH 5 were investigated. Macro- and microstickies, dissolved and colloid substances (DCS), turbidity, and drainage time were measured to evaluate GL efficiency and compared with control sample. The results indicated that GL dosing at 0.4 and 0.8 percent in pH 4 and 7 due to flocculation and fixing the stickies onto the fiber caused to decrease in macro stickies, microstickies and DCS while improved the drainage time. Although, no efficient performance was observed in controlling stickies at higher content of GL i.e. 1.2 percent. Generally, it is concluded that with consuming at desired pH and dosage content, GL can be used as efficient agent to control stickies in processing of OCC pulp.
