Abstract
Mixed office waste (MOW) pulp was biodeinked with crude enzyme extracted from Penicillium citrinum NCIM-1398. Crude enzyme dose was charged having activities of endo β-1,4-glucanase 6I U/g, xylanase 876.19 IU/g, and amylase 26.53 IU/g. The present study aimed to bleach the biodeinked MOW pulp with 3% H2O2 in the presence of a stabilizing agent viz. 0.1% ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and 0.1% magnesium sulfate (MgSO4), which improved the pulp brightness up to 4.2% and the ERIC value was reduced by 24.1%. The residual H2O2 left in the pulp slurry after bleaching was subjected to peroxidase treatment using enzyme dose 0.017 U/g at 20 °C for 3 h at 200 rpm. Horseradish peroxidase reduced residual H2O2 in the pulp slurry from 0.30 to 0.05 g/L and improved the brightness of pulp to 88.1%, while the ERIC value was reduced by 20.9%. Potato peroxidase reduced residual H2O2 from 0.30 to 0.04 g/L, reduced the ERIC value by 30.9%, and improved the brightness to 89.2%. Peroxidase treatment was not only observed to consume the residual hydrogen peroxide left after the bleaching stage but also may come up as eco-friendly technology to recycle MOW paper as writing printing grade paper.
