Editorial: Explore the experience of this year’s virtual PEERS Conference, TAPPI Journal September 2020

ABSTRACT: Since impacts from the pandemic took hold this past March, we’ve all begun to truly ap-preciate safe in-person interaction with others. Whether it’s a trip to the grocery, visiting elderly parents, instructing students, or networking with colleagues, no direct contact is simple, so we’ve learned to negotiate virtual gatherings in a way we never dreamed would be important at the start of 2020.

Repulping of wet strength paper towel with potassium monopersulfate, TAPPI Journal September 2020

ABSTRACT: Potassium monopersulfate (KMPS) was used in repulping of polyamide-epichlorohydrin (PAE)-containing paper towel. The effectiveness of the repulping aid was compared with that of sodium hypochlorite. Addition of a 2.4% KMPS repulping aid achieved complete repulping of the paper towel, resulting in 88% screen yield and about 5% rejects. To reach a similar pulping result, two times the oxidative equivalent amount of sodium hypochlorite had to be used. Compared to the pulp fibers obtained from sodium hypochlorite repulping, those obtained from KMPS repulping had higher physical strength, longer fiber length, and lower fines content. This study demonstrated that KMPS was superior to sodium hypochlorite in repulping of PAE-containing paper towel in terms of effectiveness and pulp quality.
