Evaluation of a Screening Method for Classifying Virgin and Recycled Paper and Board Samples
Resumen: This paper deals with the study of volatile compounds released by recycled paper and board. The aim of the study was to demonstrate the feasibility of headspace procedure coupled to gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) applied to
complex paper-based samples together with a chemometric procedure as a powerful method for screening potential volatile contaminants released by the recycled and virgin paper samples. Using this procedure, the identification of virgin or recycled paper could be achieved based on the identification on specific markers of the recycled pulp. Fifteen different samples within virgin and recycled paper were studied. After equilibration, the vapour phase of the samples was analysed y automatic headspace coupled online to GC/MS. The analytical approach for volatile compounds, their identification and the selection of some compounds as markers for recycled pulp are shown and discussed. A discriminate analysis applied to the set of results obtained allows classification of the samples into four different groups according to the content of recycled pulp (0, 10–30 and > 80% of recycled pulp), the surface treatment of the paper (no surface treatment, clay coating and plastic coating), the grammage (from < 100 to > 300 g/m2) and the sample thickness (from < 300 to > 600 mm). The matrix effect on the volatilization of some compounds from the paper samples and the analytical behaviour are also discussed.
