Abstract:
Enzyme-treated papermaking sludges are provided, as are methods of making the enzyme-treated sludge. Papermaking processes that incorporate the enzyme-treated papermaking sludges into papermaking pulp are also provided as are paper and paperboard products made from the resultant pulp.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method of improving sizing in a paper or paper board product comprising combining a papermaking sludge with an enzyme composition to form an enzyme-treated sludge; combining said enzyme treated sludge with a papermaking pulp to form a treated pulp, forming a paper or paperboard product from said treated pulp, wherein said product has improved sizing compared to the sizing of an identical paper or paperboard product but not having the sludge treated with enzyme composition, wherein said enzyme composition comprises at least one polyamide oligomer and at least one cellulitic enzyme or alternatively a protease, esterase or a lipase.

Abstract:
Methods and systems are provided for producing market pulp which include treatment of pulp before pulp drying. An anionically charged compound and enzyme are used to treat pulp before pulp drying to improve pulp dewatering performance and efficiency in the production of market pulp. Market pulp products containing the treatment compounds are also described.

Abstract:
WATER-SOLUBLE MIXTURES OF QUATERNARY AMMONIUM POLYMERS, NONIONIC AND/OR CATIONIC VINYL-ADDITION POLYMERS, AND NONIONIC AND/OR CATIONIC SURFACTANTS Water-soluble polymeric mixtures prepared by mixing 1 to 10 parts by weight of a quaternary ammonium polymer with 0.5 to 7 parts by weight of a high molecular weight nonionic and/or cationic vinyl-addition polymer, and 0.1 to 5 parts by weight of a nonionic and/or cationic surfactant have utility in many diverse applications.
