Enhancement of Wood Pulps by Cellulase Treatment, 2005 Engineering, Pulping & Environmental Conference
Earlier reports of the use of cellulases on pulp fibers have provided mixed results. A hitherto unreported cellulase source for the pulp and paper industry, Chrysosporium lucknowense, is now a commercial reality. This cellulase has now been evaluated in a variety of pulp and paper applications. The results of mill scale trials where the Chrysosporium cellulase has been applied to a variety of raw materials in mill settings will be shared as part of this presentation.
