Definitions
- the present invention relates to the paper industry and in particular the recycled paper industry and it relates more specifically to a new process for treating paper pulp by means of an enzymatic preparation, allowing in particular good machinability of said pulp during the paper making.
- Pasta in aqueous suspension ready to be placed work on a paper machine can be characterized by various parameters, one of which is particularly significant for predicting the suitability of the pulp for draining.
- the Schopper-Riegler degree (SR) of a pulp is thus defined as being an element of appreciation of the quality of a pulp for the manufacture of paper. It expresses the ability of water to separate from the suspension under the conditions defined by standard NFQ 50 003. On a scale ranging from 0 to 100, a high value of SR translates a low speed of drainage of the suspension while a low value indicates a faster drip speed. It has been observed, for example, that a dough which has undergone a refining operation has its SR more or less increased according to the degree of refining undergone, compared to a dough which has had little or no such operation.
- This parameter plays a particularly important role in the productivity of the paper machine.
- the draining phase must take as little time as possible.
- the enzymatic preparations containing cellulases and / or hemicellulases described are preferably those which have a C1 activity, a C x activity and a xylanasic activity. These three activities are defined by the international nomenclature of enzymes and they can be qualified and expressed in units of the international system per milligram of powder of the enzyme preparation considered.
- the C1 activity is the action of cellobiohydrolase which can be measured on very organized pure cellulose. This activity is manifested by the production of cellobiose and the international system has retained the AVICEL substrate as the reference substrate.
- the activity C x is assayed on modified cellulose, carboxymethylcellulose and it is quantified by a drop in the viscosity of the carboxymethylcellulose or an increase in the reducing ends.
- the xylanasic activity allows hydrolysis of the binding xylans.
- the reaction medium can be more or less suitable for the action of enzymes. Temperature and pH conditions are more particularly suitable for avoiding any risk of denaturation of the enzymes by the medium.
- the pH is thus advantageously between 3 and 7, and the temperature between 20 ° C and 60 ° C. Above 60 ° C, the medium tends to denature the enzyme, and below 20 ° C, the action of the enzymes manifests itself particularly slowly.
- Certain papermaking compositions of recycled fibers may have a high pH and greater than 7. In this case, it may be necessary to lower the pH in order to be in the optimal conditions of action of the enzymatic preparations.
- the reduction in pH is generally effected by the addition of acid such as sulfuric acid.
- acid such as sulfuric acid.
- the addition of an acid can cause disturbances in the formation of the sheet on the paper machine, for example reducing the effectiveness of certain agents such as retention agents. .
- Publication EP-A-0 334 739 also describes a process for treating a paper composition with an enzymatic preparation having an action on cellulosic fibers in order to improve the drainability of the paper composition.
- the invention overcomes the disadvantages mentioned.
- the method according to the invention consists in using, with a view to lowering the SR and improving the drainability of the paper compositions, in particular based on recycled fibers, having an SR greater than 25, enzymatic preparations containing so-called alkaline cellulases, chosen from those produced by the fermentation of the Humicola insolens fungus and those produced by the Cellulomonas bacteria, and in that the treated paper compositions have a pH greater than 6.
- alkaline cellulases preferably used are those obtained from strains deposited with an international depositary authority for microorganisms and referenced CBS 39 269, CBS 14 764, ATCC 16 454, ATCC 26 908, ATCC 34 627 for the fungus Humicola insolens and UDA 8,200, FIMI 11,341 , UDA 11,494 for the bacterium Cellulomonas .
- All these cellulases have a higher CMC activity (C x ) and filter paper activity at pH 7 or 9 than pH 5.
- the filter paper activity corresponds to the measurement of the reducing sugars released by the action of the enzymatic preparation from the filter paper (WHATMAN filter paper).
- a paper pulp in particular a paper pulp based on recycled fibers, is treated with an enzymatic preparation having a maximum activity expressed in relation to lowering the SR degree for pH values greater than 6.
- the enzymatic preparations according to the invention can be used at concentrations of between 0.01% to 2% by weight of the paper pulp expressed dry.
- the paper compositions in aqueous suspensions are used on a conventional paper machine which comprises - a manufacturing table provided with a box providing a jet of pulp in aqueous suspension for the forming a sheet of paper, the manufacturing table being covered with a canvas for draining the dough, - a press section, - a drying section.
- An aqueous suspension of a paper pulp based on recycled fibers is prepared in the following manner: Weigh 1 kg dry of a pulp made entirely of fibers from recycled cardboard boxes. It is made into an aqueous suspension at 3% by weight by adding water to a total weight of 33.333 kg. The pH is adjusted to obtain a pH of 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 according to the examples, then the fibrous suspension is brought to the desired temperature of 50, 40 or 30 ° C according to the examples. Once this temperature has been reached, 3 g of a cellulase-based powder designated under the name Celluzyme® 1500T by the company NOVO are introduced. The enzymes are allowed to react under stirring for 1/2 hour. The aqueous suspension is diluted by adding water to obtain a suspension at 7 g / l and the SR degree is measured. The values obtained are shown in the table below. 15 different examples are thus produced by temperature and pH.
- the procedure is as in the previous examples except that the enzyme preparation is changed, here using a powder based on cellulases designated under the name Celluzyme® 0.7 T by the company NOVO.
- the procedure is as in Examples 6, 8 and 10 respectively, using an enzymatic preparation based on cellulases derived from the strain CBS 14 764 of the fungus Humicola insolens .
- the enzyme preparation is obtained as follows: The strain as supplied by the international depositary authority Centraalbureau Voor Schimmelculturen (CBS) is transferred into a sterile medium containing cellulose, at pH 6. After 7 days of culture at 40 ° C, the mycelium is separated from the medium fermentation by filtration. The filtrate obtained is lyophilized so as to obtain a powder which can be used in an amount of 0.01 to 2% by weight, of the dry weight of the paper pulp to be treated.

Description
La présente invention concerne l'industrie papetière et notamment l'industrie du papier recyclé et elle a plus précisément pour objet un nouveau procédé de traitement de pâtes papetières au moyen d'une préparation enzymatique, permettant notamment une bonne machinabilité de ladite pâte lors de la fabrication du papier.The present invention relates to the paper industry and in particular the recycled paper industry and it relates more specifically to a new process for treating paper pulp by means of an enzymatic preparation, allowing in particular good machinability of said pulp during the paper making.
L'industrie papetière utilise de plus en plus de papiers recyclés. Dans la fabrication du carton ondulé par exemple, on fait de plus en plus appel à des matières premières à base de fibres recyclées, et on augmente parallèlement le nombre des recyclages. Or, à chaque recyclage, la qualité des matières premières se dégrade davantage. Pour retrouver un niveau satisfaisant des caractéristiques mécaniques, on procède alors généralement à un raffinage des pâtes en suspension aqueuse, ce qui entraîne des difficultés de machinabilité, en particulier d'égouttabilité de la composition papetière.The paper industry is using more and more recycled paper. In the manufacture of corrugated board, for example, there is an increasing use of raw materials based on recycled fibers, and the number of recycles is increased in parallel. However, with each recycling, the quality of the raw materials deteriorates further. To find a satisfactory level of mechanical characteristics, a refining of the pulps in aqueous suspension is then generally carried out, which gives rise to difficulties in terms of processability, in particular of drainability of the paper composition.
Les pâtes en suspension aqueuse prêtes à être mises en oeuvre sur une machine à papier peuvent être caractérisées par divers paramètres, et l'un d'entre eux est particulièrement significatif pour la prévision de l'aptitude de la pâte à l'égouttage. On définit ainsi le degré Schopper-Riegler (SR) d'une pâte comme étant un élément d'appréciation de la qualité d'une pâte pour la fabrication du papier. Il exprime l'aptitude de l'eau à se séparer de la suspension dans les conditions définies par la norme NFQ 50 003. Sur une échelle allant de 0 à 100, une valeur élevée du SR traduit une faible vitesse d'égouttage de la suspension tandis qu'une valeur faible traduit une vitesse d'égouttage plus rapide. On a observé par exemple qu'une pâte qui a subi une opération de raff inage voit son SR plus ou moins augmenté selon le degré de raff inage subi, par rapport à une pâte qui n'a pas ou peu subi une telle opération.Pasta in aqueous suspension ready to be placed work on a paper machine can be characterized by various parameters, one of which is particularly significant for predicting the suitability of the pulp for draining. The Schopper-Riegler degree (SR) of a pulp is thus defined as being an element of appreciation of the quality of a pulp for the manufacture of paper. It expresses the ability of water to separate from the suspension under the conditions defined by standard NFQ 50 003. On a scale ranging from 0 to 100, a high value of SR translates a low speed of drainage of the suspension while a low value indicates a faster drip speed. It has been observed, for example, that a dough which has undergone a refining operation has its SR more or less increased according to the degree of refining undergone, compared to a dough which has had little or no such operation.
Ce paramètre joue un rôle particulièrement important dans la productivité de la machine à papier. En effet, pour augmenter la productivité, il faut que la phase d'égouttage prenne le moins de temps possible. Pour des suspensions avec un degré SR élevé, on est obligé d'augmenter la concentration des pâtes pour conserver une même cadence de fabrication. Cela entraine une moins bonne formation des feuilles car les fibres se répartissent plus difficilement. Il est donc particulièrement avantageux de disposer de suspensions présentant un degré SR assez faible.This parameter plays a particularly important role in the productivity of the paper machine. In fact, to increase productivity, the draining phase must take as little time as possible. For suspensions with a high SR degree, it is necessary to increase the concentration of the doughs to maintain the same production rate. This results in poorer leaf formation because the fibers are more difficult to distribute. It is therefore particularly advantageous to have suspensions having a fairly low SR degree.
Dès que des suspensions présentent un degré SR supérieur à 25, il devient soubaitable d'essayer de le faire baisser pour améliorer les conditions de fabrication du papier. Un tel abaissement est souhaitable suivant deux aspects : d'une part, on peut améliorer la productivité de la machine à papier grâce à l'accélération de l'égouttage ; d'autre part, on peut conserver les cadences de fabrication sans avoir à compenser la lenteur de l'égouttage par une moindre dilution de la suspension, avec les risques que cela entrainerait d'une mauvaise formation des feuilles.As soon as suspensions have an SR degree greater than 25, it becomes advisable to try to lower it to improve the conditions for papermaking. Such a reduction is desirable according to two aspects: on the one hand, the productivity of the paper machine can be improved thanks to the acceleration of the drainage; on the other hand, the production rates can be kept without having to compensate for the slow drainage by a lesser dilution of the suspension, with the risks that this would entail poor formation of the sheets.
Dans la publication de brevet européen EP-A-0 262 040, on a décrit un procédé de traitement de pâtes papetières en suspension aqueuse, notamment des pâtes à base de fibres recyclées, possédant un degré SR au moins égal à 25 qui, par utilisation de préparations enzymatiques à base de cellulases et/ou d'hémicellulases, permet d'abaisser le SR et donc d'améliorer l'égouttage de la suspension et la productivité de la machine à papier.In the publication of European patent EP-A-0 262 040, a method of treating pulp pulp in aqueous suspension, in particular pulp based on fibers, has been described. recycled, having an SR degree at least equal to 25 which, by using enzymatic preparations based on cellulases and / or hemicellulases, makes it possible to lower the SR and therefore to improve the drainage of the suspension and the productivity of the paper machine.
Les préparations enzymatiques contenant des cellulases et/ou des hémicellulases décrites sont de préférence celles qui possèdent une activité C₁, une activité Cx et une activité xylanasique. Ces trois activités sont définies par la nomenclature internationale des enzymes et elles peuvent être qualifiées et exprimées en unités du système international par milligramme de poudre de la préparation enzymatique considérée. L'activité C₁ est l'action de la cellobiohydrolase pouvant être dosée sur de la cellulose pure très organisée. Cette activité se manifeste par la production de cellobiose et le système international a retenu le substrat AVICEL comme substrat de référence. L'activité Cx est dosée sur de la cellulose modifiée, la carboxyméthylcellulose et elle est quantifiée par une chute de la viscosité de la carboxyméthylcellulose ou une augmentation des extrémités réductrices. L'activité xylanasique permet une hydrolyse des xylanes de liaison.The enzymatic preparations containing cellulases and / or hemicellulases described are preferably those which have a C₁ activity, a C x activity and a xylanasic activity. These three activities are defined by the international nomenclature of enzymes and they can be qualified and expressed in units of the international system per milligram of powder of the enzyme preparation considered. The C₁ activity is the action of cellobiohydrolase which can be measured on very organized pure cellulose. This activity is manifested by the production of cellobiose and the international system has retained the AVICEL substrate as the reference substrate. The activity C x is assayed on modified cellulose, carboxymethylcellulose and it is quantified by a drop in the viscosity of the carboxymethylcellulose or an increase in the reducing ends. The xylanasic activity allows hydrolysis of the binding xylans.
Comme décrit dans le document cité, le milieu réactionnel peut être plus ou moins approprié à l'action des enzymes. Des conditions de température et de pH conviennent plus particulièrement pour éviter tout risque de dénaturation des enzymes par le milieu. Le pH est ainsi avantageusement compris entre 3 et 7, et la température entre 20°C et 60°C. Au delà de 60°C, le milieu tend à dénaturer l'enzyme, et en dessous de 20°C, l'action des enzymes se manifeste particulièrement lentement.As described in the cited document, the reaction medium can be more or less suitable for the action of enzymes. Temperature and pH conditions are more particularly suitable for avoiding any risk of denaturation of the enzymes by the medium. The pH is thus advantageously between 3 and 7, and the temperature between 20 ° C and 60 ° C. Above 60 ° C, the medium tends to denature the enzyme, and below 20 ° C, the action of the enzymes manifests itself particularly slowly.
Avec les préparations enzymatiques décrites dans ce document, il est recommandé de se placer à un pH compris entre 3 et 7 environ.With the enzymatic preparations described in this document, it is recommended to place yourself at a pH of between 3 and 7 approximately.
Certaines compositions papetières de fibres recyclées peuvent présenter un pH élevé et supérieur à 7. Dans ce cas, on peut être amené à diminuer le pH pour se situer dans les conditions optimales d'action des préparations enzymatiques.Certain papermaking compositions of recycled fibers may have a high pH and greater than 7. In this case, it may be necessary to lower the pH in order to be in the optimal conditions of action of the enzymatic preparations.
La diminution du pH s'effectue généralement par addition d'acide tel l'acide sulfurique. Outre l'inconvénient d'être une opération supplémentaire, l'addition d'un acide peut provoquer des perturbations au niveau de la formation de la feuille sur la machine à papier, par exemple diminuer l'efficacité de certains agents tels les agents de rétention.The reduction in pH is generally effected by the addition of acid such as sulfuric acid. In addition to the drawback of being an additional operation, the addition of an acid can cause disturbances in the formation of the sheet on the paper machine, for example reducing the effectiveness of certain agents such as retention agents. .
De plus, dans le cas des papiers impression-écriture par exemple, il est nécessaire d'ajouter une quantité importante d'acide ce qui diminue l'intérêt économique du procédé de traitement par les enzymes.In addition, in the case of printing-writing papers for example, it is necessary to add a large amount of acid which decreases the economic advantage of the treatment process with enzymes.
La publication EP-A-0 334 739 décrit aussi un procédé de traitement d'une composition papetière par une préparation enzymatique ayant une action sur les fibres cellulosiques en vue d'améliorer l'égouttabilité de la composition papetière.Publication EP-A-0 334 739 also describes a process for treating a paper composition with an enzymatic preparation having an action on cellulosic fibers in order to improve the drainability of the paper composition.
L'invention obvie aux inconvénients cités.The invention overcomes the disadvantages mentioned.
On a maintenant trouvé selon l'invention des préparations enzymatiques à base de cellulases et/ou d'hémicellulases qui ne nécessitent pas de modifications du procédé de formage de la feuille et qui peuvent être utilisées à des pH supérieurs aux pH utilisés jusqu'à présent.We have now found, according to the invention, enzymatic preparations based on cellulases and / or hemicellulases which do not require modifications to the sheet forming process and which can be used at pH values higher than the pH used up to now. .
Le procédé selon l'invention consiste à utiliser en vue d'abaisser le SR et d'améliorer l'égouttabilité des compositions papetières, notamment à base de fibres recyclées, présentant un SR supérieur à 25, des préparations enzymatiques contenant des cellulases dites alcalines, choisies parmi celles produites par la fermentation du champignon Humicola insolens et celles produites par la bactérie Cellulomonas, et en ce que les compositions papetières traitées présentent un pH supérieur à 6.The method according to the invention consists in using, with a view to lowering the SR and improving the drainability of the paper compositions, in particular based on recycled fibers, having an SR greater than 25, enzymatic preparations containing so-called alkaline cellulases, chosen from those produced by the fermentation of the Humicola insolens fungus and those produced by the Cellulomonas bacteria, and in that the treated paper compositions have a pH greater than 6.
Les cellulases alcalines utilisées de préférence sont celles obtenues à partir des souches déposées à une autorité de dépôt international de micro-organismes et référencées CBS 39 269, CBS 14 764, ATCC 16 454, ATCC 26 908, ATCC 34 627 pour le champignon Humicola insolens et UDA 8 200, FIMI 11 341, UDA 11 494 pour la bactérie Cellulomonas.The alkaline cellulases preferably used are those obtained from strains deposited with an international depositary authority for microorganisms and referenced CBS 39 269, CBS 14 764, ATCC 16 454, ATCC 26 908, ATCC 34 627 for the fungus Humicola insolens and UDA 8,200, FIMI 11,341 , UDA 11,494 for the bacterium Cellulomonas .
Toutes ces cellulases présentent une activité CMC (Cx) et une activité papier filtre plus élevées à pH 7 ou 9 qu'à pH 5. L'activité papier filtre correspond à la mesure des sucres réducteurs libérés par l'action de la préparation enzymatique à partir du papier filtre (papier filtre WHATMAN).All these cellulases have a higher CMC activity (C x ) and filter paper activity at
