(57) method and apparatus for removing the oxidized cellulose material such as a page [Abstract] books, magazines, newspapers, documents and the like are provided. According to the method and apparatus, each nearly the entire page is processed. The method includes the step of leaving (64) in the carrier material pages such that exposed freely to the treatment medium. Carrier (64) is submerged in (12) in a vat containing the dispersion medium of the process material containing particles of alkali metal oxide, hydroxide or preferably. (12), including (51) support frame bat. Support frame (51), the material is held and (64) carrier supports (64) carriers is supported and is to reciprocate substantially horizontally slidably bat (12) on is supported. For example, the reciprocating motion of the support frame (51), to open like a fan page book (72). Thus, the treatment material in the medium, the come into contact with each page of the document or other journal. After the support frame (51) has reciprocated a predetermined time over a predetermined length stroke at a predetermined rate each page of the book is preferably such as are processed entirely, is removed from the bus (64) carrier, I is transferred to the (140) dryer. Dryer (140) includes (142) a flexible mesh webs are draped loosely support rods of one row placed on the frame (144) as a whole. Cellulosic material, the mesh is placed on the web (142) on. By passing through the (140) dryer, air pre-heated to evaporate the residue of the treatment medium over.
