ABSTRACT
High-purity cellulose from paper pulp can be obtained after appropriate treatments involving pure xylanases and cellulases/endoglucanases. This study investigated the efficacy of using crude xylanase and cellulase instead of commercial ones to improve process economics. Kraft paper grade pulp produced from veneer waste, hardwood, and non-wood sources was utilized as a more sustainable option. Crude xylanase and cellulase from isolated soil bacteria Bacillus pumilus 3GAH and Bacillus subtilis PJK6 were used for process optimization. The correlation between Fock reactivity, chain scission, and crystallinity after crude-cellulase treatment was established through chemical, FTIR, and XRD analyses. Pentosans in kraft pulp were reduced from an initial 18.7% to 4.9% through sequential treatments with crude xylanase and alkali. Subsequent crude-cellulase treatment, even at 8 U/g o.d. pulp, improved Fock reactivity from 28.2% to 61.2%, fulfilling a major criterion for viscose. Thus, crude enzymes can be effectively used for the efficient and economical upgrading of paper pulp to dissolving pulp.
