AbstractDeinking of recycled office (MOW) paper was carried out by using a flotation column and adding separately sodium hydroxide, and the enzyme Cellulase Thricodema Sp., as defibrillators.The de-inked cellulose fibers were characterized according to the standards of the paper industry, to compare the efficiency of the deinking of each chemical reagent used to hydrolyze the fibers and defibrillate them.The computational simulation of the molecular coupling between the enzyme and cellulose was performed, to establish the enzyme-cellulose molecular complex and then to identify the principal amino-acids of endo-β-1,4-D-glucanase in this molecular link, which are responsible for the hydrolysis of the cellulose.Experimental results show the feasibility to replace sodium hydroxide with the enzyme Cellulase Thricodema Sp., by obtaining deinked cellulose with similar optical and physical properties.The use of the enzyme instead of sodium hydroxide avoids the contamination of the residual water; in addition to that, the column is operated more easily, taking into consideration that the pH of the system goes from alkaline to neutral.

Using mathematical programming with activity-based costing (ABC) and based on the theory of constraints (TOC), this study proposed a green production model for the traditional paper industry to achieve the purpose of energy saving and carbon emission reduction. The mathematical programming model presented in this paper considers (1) revenue of main products and byproducts, (2) unit-level, batch-level, and product-level activity costs in ABC, (3) labor cost with overtime available, (4) machine cost with capacity expansion, (5) saved electric power and steam costs by using the coal as the main fuel in conjunction with Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF). This model also considers the constraint of the quantity of carbon equivalent of various gases that are allowed to be emitted from the mill paper-making process to conform to the environmental protection policy. A numerical example is used to demonstrate how to apply the model presented in this paper. In addition, sensitivity analysis on the key parameters of the model are used to provide further insights for this research.

The paper industry generates solid waste such as wastewater sludge and paper mill rejects. The rejects from recycled paper processing are varies from 5 % to 25 % dependent on the recovered fiber quality and process used in the mill. The composition of the rejects is consisted of fiber bundles, plastics pieces, foils and polystyrene containing large quantities of plastics. One of the limitations of solid waste for energy is bulky and high moisture content which is difficult to be stored, transported, and utilized. To overcome this limitation, it is needed a solidification process. Pelletizing of paper mill solid waste is one of solidification processes to ease in storing, handling, and transporting of solid waste. Experiment on solid wastes utilization in the pellet form as fuel has been carried out. Solidification process of paper mill solid waste is consisted of drying, shredding and  pelletizing processes of solid waste. Pellet of paper mill solid waste and coal and pellet of combination of rejects waste were analyzed for their proximate, mineral content of ash and ash fusion temperature (AFT) to see slagging and fouling potency. The results shows that paper mill reject contain high calorific value of 5,987 calorie/gram and low content of sulphur and ash. Ash has low content of total alkali (Na2O and K2O) and high initial deformation temperature (IDT) of 1,193oC. Mixed of 95% coal and 5% pellet of reject waste has low content of total alkali (Na2O and K2O) and high initial deformation temperature (IDT) of 1,315oC. The result  indicates low slagging and fouling potency of reject waste when it is utilized as a boiler fuel.Keywords: solid waste, sludge, rejects, pellet, fuel, slagging, fouling  ABSTRAK Industri kertas menghasilkan limbah padat seperti limbah lumpur dan limbah reject. Jumlah limbah reject dari pengolahan kertas daur ulang bervariasi dari 5% sampai 25% tergantung pada kualitas serat dan proses yang digunakan di pabrik. Komposisi limbah reject terdiri dari gumpalan serat, potongan plastik dan foil. Salah satu keterbatasan dari limbah padat untuk energi adalah ruah dan kadar air-nya tinggi yang menyulitkan dalam penyimpanan, transportasi, dan penggunaannya. Untuk mengatasi keterbatasan ini diperlukan proses solidifikasi. Pembuatan pellet dari limbah padat industri kertas merupakan salah satu proses solidifikasi untuk memudahkan dalam penyimpanan, penanganan, dan pengangkutan limbah padat. Penelitian pemanfaatan limbah padat dalam bentuk pelet sebagai bahan bakar untuk energi telah dilakukan. Proses solidifikasi limbah padat pabrik kertas terdiri dari proses pengeringan, proses pencacahan dan proses pembuatan pellet. Pellet limbah padat industri kertas dan campuran dari batubara dan pellet limbah reject diuji untuk analisis proksimat, kadar mineral abu, kadar abu dan suhu fusi abu (AFT) untuk mengetahui potensi slagging dan fouling. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa limbah reject industri kertas mengandung nilai kalor tinggi 5.987 kalori/gram dan rendah sulfur dan abu. Abu mengandung alkali total (Na2O dan K2O) rendah dan suhu deformasi awal tinggi (IDT) yaitu 1.193oC. Campuran dari batubara 95% dan pellet limbah reject 5% mengandung alkali total (Na2O dan K2O) rendah dan suhu deformasi awal tinggi (IDT) yaitu 1.315oC. Hal ini menunjukkan potensi slagging dan fouling rendah bilamana limbah reject digunakan sebagai bahan bakar boiler.Kata kunci: limbah padat, lumpur, reject, pelet, bahan bakar, slagging, fouling
