Abstract: In the method for the manufacture of a paper pulp for currency use from a stock comprising textile fibers, the operations of boiling, bleaching, chopping, breaking, cutting and washing of the textile fibers are performed in at least one treatment machine (10, 40) of the type having two co-rotating screws, in a plurality of phases taking place successively and continuously. The operations include a phase of feeding and mixing the stock with water, at least oen compression phase, at least one phase of shearing of the textile fibers, at least one phase of treatment of introduction of boiling and bleaching reagents, at least one phase of washing of the bleached pulp by introduction of washing water, and a phase of transferring and evacuating the bleached and washed pulp.

Abstract: A process and device for selectively separating particles from a suspension is disclosed. The process involves: introducing the suspension into a rotating separation chamber in which the flow is regulated so that the angular velocity of the suspension is maintained slightly higher than the angular velocity of the wall of the chamber. The bulk of the flow of the suspension treated is removed from the separation chamber from a peripheral area. The following fractions are removed separately, simultaneously, and if necessary continuously. The heavy fraction is removed from a zone near of the sidewall; the light fraction is removed from a zone nearer of the longitudinal axis of the chamber, than the heavy fraction outlet and if desired, an intermediate fraction may be removed from at least one separate intermediate zone between the light fraction outlet and the heavy fraction outlet.
