Influence of Cellulase to Filtration and Fiber Morphology of Bleached Softwood Pulp

Abstract:

Cellulase named as Celluclast 1.5L was used to deal with bleached softwood pulp. By analyzing the changes of fiber polymerization, fiber length and pulp freeness before and after enzymatic treatment, studied the influence of cellulase to filtration and fiber morphology of bleached softwood pulp, and discussed the mode of action of cellulase to bleached softwood pulp. The results show that while the enzyme dosage increasing, the degree of cellulose hydrolysis increases; the pulp polymerization degree decreases; fiber length decreases and the content of fines increase. Pulp filtration first increases and then decreases, but fiber surface does not appear the phenomenon of fibrillating. It indicates that the action of cellulase to fiber is from the inside to outside.
