Abstract
A process for enhancing the freeness of paper pulp, which comprises the steps of adding to the pulp from about 0.5 to about 2.5 kilograms per ton based on the dry weight of the pulp, of a cellulolytic enzyme at the vertical tank of the papermaking process, allowing the pulp to contact the cellulolytic enzyme for from about 30 minutes to about 60 minutes, adding at least 0.011%, based on the dry weight of the pulp, of a water soluble cationic polymer, adding at least 0.007%, based on the dry weight of the pulp, of a water soluble anionic polymer and forming the thus treated pulp into paper.
