Abstract

The method of substantially removing and dispersing resinous or waxy contaminants from contaminant-containing secondary fiber during repulping, is disclosed. The method includes combining the contaminant-containing secondary fiber in an aqueous repulping medium with a substituted oxyethylene glycol nonionic surfactant, and a water soluble, low molecular weight polyelectrolyte dispersant, at an elevated temperature.
