The benefits of using enzymes to modify lignin are:
- Improve physical and mechanical properties of paper and board
- Reduce use of expensive strengthening agents
- Improve the runnability of the paper machine
- Increase mill productionl
- Manage effluent more efficiently and cost-effectively
- Decrease level of expensive fiber included in pulp blends
Simple solution for addressing lignin in effluent
Lignin and related phenolic compounds are unwanted in effluent due to color, toxicity, and biological and chemical oxygen demand. These compounds are often difficult and expensive to remove.
Laccase and peroxidase offer a simple way to face the lignin challenge. Enzymatic activation of soluble lignin and phenolic compounds helps separation from effluents.
