  • Process for recovering raw materials from paper industry mechanical waste sludge
    Patent number: 6207015
    Abstract: Raw materials useable in the manufacture of paper, cardboard and carton are recovered from waste sludge. After precipitation of the coarse particles, the sludge is centrifuged to remove black particles and then divided by fractional screening into its fiber, filler, pigment and agglomerate components. The agglomerate component is shear-treated and again fractionated, while the fibers, fillers and pigments, following further treatment if necessary, are fed to their points of reuse.
