saturated hydrocarbons having carbon numbers in the range of c9 c12 the chemical structures of the remaining raw materials are as follows str1 for the application of electrostatic toner particle agglomeration the effective hydrophile lipophile balance of the tested surfactants is less than or equal to 10 it is believed that the effective temperature range for the agglomeration of electrostatic toner particles is from 110 u00b0 190 u00b0 f a beaker test method was utilized to determine the impact of various raw materials on toner agglomeration without the presence of fiber this method allowed for the visual evaluation of toner configuration after treatment and permitted the particles to be sized using the brinkmann particle size analyzer when raw materials were screened using this method those demonstrating significant particle agglomeration were advanced to the deinking repulping apparatus the pulper for an evaluation of performance in the presence of fiber the experimental procedure was as follows approximately 0 01 grams of toner was added to a beaker containing 100 milliliters of deionized water each solution of toner and water was mixed on a magnetic stirrer at a ph of 7 0 a temperature of 150 u00b0 f and a contact time of 60 minutes about 514 parts of raw material or experimental product per million parts of solution was added to the beaker upon completion of contact time.
