Abstract:This paper conducted three recycling processes for US old corrugated container (OCC) 12# and 13# to investigate the variations in the properties of recycled fibers and the mechanical strength of recycled paper as well as the correlation between them. The results showed that US OCC 12# recycled fibers were thicker and longer than US OCC 13#, with higher proportion of fine fibers, and more extensive damage. After three recycling cycles, the fiber length-weighted average of US OCC 12# and US OCC 13# recycled fibers decreased by 10.8% and 15.7%, respectively, while their splitting length ratio increased by 11.2% and 2.3%, respectively. Fiber twisting and bending decreased, whereas fiber breakage increased. The fine fibers content of US OCC 13# recycled fibers progressively decreased, while that of US OCC 12# recycled fibers initially increased and then declined. Following three recycling processes, both recycled paper exhibited reductions in tensile index (12#: 21.4%, 13#: 10.7%) and burst index (12#: 10.2%, 13#: 2.6%), while their folding endurance increased by 25.6% and 3.2%, respectively. The tear index of US OCC 12# recycled paper increased, whereas that of US OCC 13# recycled paper decreased. Overall, the mechanical strength of US OCC 12# recycled paper was generally better than that of US OCC 13#. Grey relational analysis showed that the proportions of short fibers, fine fibers, and twisted fibers were the key factors affecting paper mechanical strength, primarily acting on fiber bonding interactions.
