  • Patent number: 6228215
    Abstract: An aqueous slurry containing dissolved solids and a high concentration of suspended solids is positioned as a mat between a pair of porous endless belts to provide a composite structure. The composite structure is moved through a treating zone and subjected to alternate stages of compression and relaxation. In a preferred mode, the compression and relaxation are achieved by passing the composite structure over a series of spaced rolls in a manner such that a first belt of the pair is in direct contact with one of the rolls and a second belt of the pair is in contact with the next adjacent roll. A liquid stream containing a high concentration of dissolved solids is cascaded over the mat in a countercurrent fashion, with the result that dissolved solids of the liquid stream are dissolved in the aqueous phase of the mat when the mat is subject to relaxation. The mat containing the increased concentration of dissolved solids and suspended solids can then be compacted and the solid residue can be landfilled.

  • Patent number: 6207242
    Abstract: A laminated paperboard package is produced by initially printing graphics by high speed printing on a sheet of clay-coated publication paper. The printed paper is then continuously bonded to a surface of cellulosic base layer, to provide a laminated product. The cellulosic base layer consists of at least one base ply of unbleached fibers and at least one ply of bleached or dyed fibers. Alternatively, instead of a ply of bleached or dyed fibers, a second layer of paper may be laminated to the base ply. The laminated product is then die cut to the desired shape, folded and glued into the configuration of a box or container. The substrate may be either coated, or a ply is provided, to prevent moisture or oil from the contained product from seeping through the base layer to the printed paper.
