Enzymatic Treatment of Virgin Fiber and Recycled Paper to Reduce Residual Mineral Oil Levels for Paper Production

摘要: Compositions comprising enzyme compositions are provided. Also provided methods of treating virgin fiber and recycled wastepaper containing mineral oils using the compositions. The generally originate from wastepapers with oil based inks certain other hydrocarbon-based chemistries used during manufacturing, paperboard converting, packaging process. enzymes break down or modify present in paper, mobilize liberate them fibers, increase removal paper recycling, pulping papermaking processes. method results modification components wastepaper, pulp, products by so that can be more efficiently detached removed. resulting pulp has much reduced concentration less problematic forms is beneficial for making food products.
