Background
The disclosure of this background section is only intended to increase the understanding of the general background of the invention and is not necessarily to be construed as an admission or any form of suggestion that this information forms the prior art already known to those of ordinary skill in the art.
With the increasing awareness of environmental protection and the growing shortage of plant resources, the recycling of waste paper is receiving more and more attention from pulp and paper enterprises. The waste paper has low price and wide sources, can effectively solve the shortage of paper making raw materials, and is beneficial to solving the environmental pollution in the pulping and papermaking process. However, with the increase of recycling times, after the fiber is subjected to processes of swelling, high-temperature drying, squeezing and the like for many times, the fiber is keratinized, so that the strength of the finished paper is reduced, and the recycling of waste paper is limited to a certain extent.
At present, the paper strength of the waste paper pulp is improved by means of mechanical pulping, chemical auxiliary agent addition, biological enzyme pretreatment and the like. In the existing pulping method, mechanical pulp occupies a larger share in the whole pulping industry by virtue of the advantages of simple process, low cost, high yield, small pollution and the like. However, this pulping process retains a substantial portion of the lignin in the raw material, which results in its tendency to yellow during subsequent use and lower mechanical strength of the finished paper, which greatly limits the recycling of this type of waste paper. Numerous researchers have found that after the waste paper pulp with higher lignin content is treated by laccase, the waste paper pulp is grafted and modified by amino acid, and the carboxyl content on the fiber surface of the waste paper pulp is obviously improved, so that the swelling property of the fiber is increased, the softness of the fiber is improved, the bonding energy of the fiber in a paper sheet is improved, and the paper strength of the waste paper pulp is improved. However, the above method requires treatment with biological enzymes, and the reaction conditions are relatively severe, so that large-scale application is difficult to realize.
