Biorefinery Integrated in Paper Recycling: Extraction, Characterization and Valorization of Starch from Recycled Paper and Board
Short Introductive summary
Starch and its derivatives are widely used additives in papermaking. However, when paper and board are recycled and reused in papermaking, part of the starch they contain is released into the process waters, where it undergoes microbiological degradation, leading to biofouling, corrosion and odor issues in paper mills. Moreover, the starch biodegradation products can increase the chemical and biochemical oxygen demands (COD/BOD) of paper mills effluents. To address these issues, this work aims to integrate the concept of biorefinery into paper recycling operations, by extracting starch from recovered paper and board prior to the papermaking process, in order to valorize it as a polymer or to convert it into platform molecules. This study focuses on the development of green and sustainable extraction processes, including enzymatic and green oxidative treatments.
