Acid-etching is one of the most popular processes for the surface treatment of dental implants. In this paper, acid-etching of commercially pure titanium (cpTi) in a 48% HSO solution is investigated. The etching process time (0-8 h) and solution temperature (25-90 °C) are assumed to be the most effective operational conditions to affect the surface roughness parameters such as arithmetical mean deviation of the assessed profile on the surface (R) and average of maximum peak to valley height of the surface over considered length profile (R), as well as weight loss (WL) of the dental implants in etching process.

One of the most challenging recycling processes is deinking of papers digitally printed with electrophotographic ink. In order to produce optically high-quality paper from recycled waste papers, deinking step is required at the desired levels.
