For each ton of deinked pulp produced from waste newspapers 690 m( 3) of wastewater, 11 kg of soluble BOD5, 54 kg of soluble COD and 280 kg of deinking sludge (dry basis) are produced.. Deinking sludges cont ain high concentration of fibers but low concentration of nitrogen, ph osphorous and heavy metals.
