The effect of initial pore volume and lignin content on the enzymatic hydrolysis of softwoods

摘要: Four Douglas-fir pulps, a refiner mechanical pulp (RMP), sulphonated RMP, delignified RMP and kraft were used to determine whether the lignin content initial pore volume affected cellulase adsorption substrate hydrolysis. When compared on basis of content, it was apparent from treatment that proportion did not affect enzyme when fibres sufficiently swollen. However, observed does always translate fast complete Pore data revealed although modification resulted in dramatically increased fibre saturation point median width accordingly. In contrast, had higher hydrolyzed more completely, suggesting steric hindrance residual may be rate limiting characteristic this situation. Hydrolysis indicated larger average particle size might have been an inhibiting factor, since slowly than despite having lower content.
