Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method of producing conifer-derived pulp fibers for paper includes a beating step of beating conifer-derived material pulp fibers in the presence of a liquid including water; and an ozone treatment step of treating, with ozone water, the beaten conifer-derived material pulp fibers.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method of producing conifer-derived pulp fibers for paper, the method comprising: a deriving step of deriving conifer-derived pulp fibers from used absorbent articles; after the deriving step, a supply step of supplying the conifer-derived pulp fibers as conifer-derived material pulp fibers; a beating step of beating the conifer-derived material pulp fibers supplied by the supply step in the presence of a liquid including water to form beaten material pulp fibers; and an ozone treatment step of treating the beaten material pulp fibers with ozone water to form pulp fibers for paper. 2. The producing method according to claim 1 , wherein the beating step includes: a step of beating the conifer-derived material pulp fibers in the presence of an acidic aqueous solution as the liquid. 3. The producing method according to claim 1 , further comprising: a transfer step of transferring the beaten material pulp fibers to an ozone treatment step while the beaten material pulp fibers are continuously held in the acidic aqueous solution used in the beating step. 4. The producing method according to claim 1 , further comprising: a transfer step of transferring the beaten material pulp fibers to the ozone treatment step together with the liquid used in the beating step. 5. The producing method according to claim 1 , wherein the beating step includes: a step of beating the conifer-derived material pulp fibers with a conical refiner. 6. The producing method according to claim 1 , wherein in the ozone treatment step, an ozone concentration of the ozone water is 1 to 200 ppm by mass, a treatment time in the ozone water is 5 to 120 minutes, and a product of the ozone concentration and the treatment time is 100 to 6000 ppm minute. 7. The producing method according to claim 1 , wherein a length-weighted average fiber length of the pulp fibers for paper after the ozone treatment step is 1.6 to 2.1 mm. 8. The producing method according to claim 7 , wherein a Canadian standard freeness of the pulp fibers for paper after the ozone treatment step is 500 CSF ml or more.
