where can i find out how to make toilet paper?

Question

i've tried looking online for it but i only found how to make paper using toilet paper. is there a way to reverse this?

Answer 1

Actually, there is! Recycled toilet paper is made from used paper stock. First, I'll tell you the process of making "virgin" toilet paper, and then the process in making recycled toilet paper will be easier to explain.

1. Trees arive at the mill and are debarked, a process that removes the tree's outer layer while leaving as much wood on the tree as possible.

2. The debarked logs are chipped into a uniform size approximately 1 in x 1/4 in. These small pieces make it easier to pulp the wood.

3. The batch of wood chips—about 50 tons—is then mixed with 10,000 gallons of cooking chemicals; the resultant slurry is sent to a 60-ft (18.3-m)-tall pressure cooker called a digester.

4. During the cooking, which can last up to three hours, much of the moisture in the wood is evaporated (wood chips contain about 50% moisture). The mixture is reduced to about 25 tons of cellulose fibers, lignin (which binds the wood fibers together) and other substances. Out of this, about 15 tons of usable fiber, called pulp, result from each cooked batch.

5. The pulp goes through a multistage washer system that removes most of the lignin and the cooking chemicals. This fluid, called black liquor, is separated from the pulp, which goes on to the next stage of production.

6. The washed pulp is sent to the bleach plant where a multistage chemical process removes color from the fiber. Residual lignin, the adhesive that binds fibers together, will yellow paper over time and must be bleached to make paper white.

7. The pulp is mixed with water again to produce paper stock, a mixture that is 99.5% water and 0.5% fiber. The paper stock is sprayed between moving mesh screens, which allow much of the water to drain. This produces an 18-ft (5.5-m) wide sheet of matted fiber at a rate of up to 6,500 ft (1981 m) per minute.

8. The mat is then transferred to a huge heated cylinder called a Yankee Dryer that presses and dries the paper to a final moisture content of about 5%.

9. Next, the paper is creped, a process that makes it very soft and gives it a slightly wrinkled look. During creping, the paper is scraped off the Yankee Dryer with a metal blade. This makes the sheets somewhat flexible but lowers their strength and thickness so that they virtually disintegrate when wet. The paper, which is produced at speeds over a mile a minute, is then wound on jumbo reels that can weigh as much as five tons.

10. The paper is then loaded onto converting machines that unwind, slit, and rewind it onto long thin cardboard tubing, making a paper log. The paper logs are then cut into rolls and wrapped packages.

When making recycled toilet paper from previously used paper, they remove all of the staples and pins from the paper stock and put it into a vat called the pulper where it's cooked and turned into a liquid slurry. Then it goes through a series of screens and rinses to remove the ink and impurities. It's then purified and goes through steps 7-10 in the "virgin" toilet paper making process.

I hope that answers your question, I'm not sure if that's what you were looking for. I'll give the link where I got this info just in case. :)

Answer 2

Step a million. Flush some extra situations to bathe besides as you are able to. 2. turn off the water to the rest room. 3. Flush returned, now eliminate all the water it fairly is left from the tank and the bowl. 4. Use a small compact reflect and a flashlight to look up interior the rest room for and component that may not assume to be there. wait and notice, it takes slightly practice. 5. If not something is blocking off the bowl going up, then you definately will could take the rest room loose from the floor, lean it forward very intently, and look up the backside component of the rest room bowl with the flashlight for and distant places gadgets. with a bit of luck that's that straightforward for you and might retrieve even though that's somewhat. it fairly is going to purely fee you the fee of a wax ring, approximately 5 money, to reset the rest room.

Answer 3

Yes instead of flushing the paper away after you have used it just wash it in urine and bicarb - then hand out to dry - you can then re-use it as required.
