The Enzymatic Deinking of Waste Papers by Engineered Bifunctional Chimeric Neutral Lipase – Endoglucanase
نویسندگان
چکیده
Endoglucanase and lipase showed good deinking efficiency for waste papers. The performances could be greatly improved further by the combined use of the two enzymes. To reduce the enzyme production cost and enhance synergistic action of endoglucanase and lipase on laser-printed paper and newspaper, a chimeric enzyme with endoglucanase and lipase activity was constructed and expressed in Pichia pastoris. The data indicated that the chimera Lip-EG1CD improved the ink removal efficiencies and sheet brightness better than a single enzyme or a mixture of two enzymes. The chimera Lip-EG1CD demonstrated an 89% removal of toner on both papers and 91% ISO and 60% ISO sheet brightness for laser-printed paper and newspaper, respectively. Handsheet strength was also clearly improved. It revealed that the combined deinking of endoglucanase and lipase on waste papers could be strengthened by constructing proper chimera due to intramolecular synergistic action. This would be useful for developing an economical process for waste paper recycling.

Two enzymatic extracts obtained from xylan-grown Aspergillus terreus CCMI 498 and cellulose-grown Trichoderma viride CCMI 84 were characterised for different glycanase activities. Both strains produce extracellular endoxylanase and endoglucanase enzymes. The enzymes optimal activity was found in the temperature range of 45-60 degrees C. Endoglucanase systems show identical activity profiles tow...
متن کاملUse of Enzymes in Deinked Pulp Bleaching
To comply with government’s environmental policies and to satisfy the requests of the consumers, recycling of waste paper is essential for reducing the consumption of virgin fibers in pulp and paper industry. However, the poor optical properties of recycled fibers restrict their use in value-added papers. Enzymes, such as lipase and laccase, represent an interesting alternative. The detachment ...
متن کاملRole of Deinking Agent and Its Challenge
The basic deinking process for old newspapers, the role of the deinking agent, the science and the condition for good deinking are reviewed based on the results in our laboratory first. Then, by using this typical deinking process, the deinkability of the pigment―based inkjet printings was examined. In commercial printings, the transition to on―demand printings is in progress, because the on―de...

Deinked pulp fibers produced by three kinds of deinking processes, alkaline deinking, neutral deinking, and enzymatic deinking, were studied by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer (FTIR), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), and CrossPolarization Magic Angle Spinning Carbon-13 Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (CP/MAS 13 C-NMR). There were remarkable differences in both mac...

In this essay, lipase from Burkholderia cepacia was immobilized into 3-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane (GPTMS) and tetramethoxysilane (TMOS) derived sol-gels. GPTMS:TMOS molar ratio of 1:3 was found to yield the best result. The morphological characteristics were investigated based on SEM and BET analysis. Sample mean pore diameter was 39.1 nm, it had a specific surface area of 60 m2/g prior to...
