Abstract

Old newspaper is one of commonly printed paper media which is published daily in large quantities, so it is important to be recycled. This study aims to analyse thermal and mechanical properties of deinked paper. This research used the ultrasound-alkaline method to recycle old newspapers in order to be compared to paper which was deinked ultrasonication method with a variation time of 30 minutes, 60 minutes and 90 minutes.by using conventional methods. The thermal properties of deinked newspaper were analysed by using TGA/DTG, and the analysis showed that treated samples with NaOH had 12-13% of mass loss, while the treatment by using Mg(OH)2 had mass loss around 20-80%. Samples were also analysed for its mechanical properties by tensile tests. The results show, deinked old newspaper which is treated in 60 minutes ultrasound had best thermal properties with a tensile strength of around 1834 MPa and a strain of 0.1%.
