ABSTRACT:
A method for removing ink from printed paper to be recycled by pulping the printed paper to be recycled with water to produce a paper pulp slurry with a consistency of between about 1% and about 20%, adjusting the pH of the paper pulp slurry to between about 6 and about 13, maintaining the paper pulp slurry at a temperature of between about 30.degree. C. and about 100.degree. C., adding an agglomerating agent to the paper pulp slurry, pulping the paper pulp slurry for a period of between about 5 min. and about 90 min., such that the ink particles agglomerate, thereafter, adding between about 0.2 wt. % and about 2.0 wt. %, based on the dry weight of the pulp, of talc to the paper pulp slurry, and thereafter, removing the agglomerated ink particles from the paper pulp slurry.
