NEWSPAPER SALVAGE.

A ̈ SIMPLE DE-INKING

PROCESS.

By a simple de-inking pronese,. the United States Forest Products Laboratory converts waste news- papers into clean, new paper suft. able for printing purposes. This new method is calculated to cut the cost of newsprint $16 a ton.

If de-inking plants are established:

in metropolitan centres of new- paper production there will be an annual saving from destruction of 275,000 acres of 100-year-old spruce wood. In Chicago alone, 325 tons of, waste newspapers could be collected daily and made into fresh paper, thus conserving. ninety-seven acres of wood every day in the year-wood that hag taken many ・・ years'

to grow! Bentonite, a creamy-white sof.. clay, which occurs in finer particles than any other mineral! substance, and soda ash, are addk ed to the water in which the paper is repulped. The alkali loosens the ink and the bentonite attracts the small fragments of carbon and carries them off. through the washing screen. This leaves the pulp frbres clean and ready to be run into paper again.

In a demonstration of the sonomy and the success of the newly discovered process, the Forest Products Laboratory de- inks and makes use again of the paper from its waste baskets:
