Abstract

Enzyme-aided bleaching of softwood and hardwood kraft pulps by a xylanase preparation from an alkalophilic fungus Cephalospotium sp. RYM-202 was studied. Maximal solubilization of Pulp xylan was obtained at 5$0^{\circ}C$ in both kraft pulps. The optimum pH of the enzyme for the hydrolysis of pulp xylan was 8.0 and more than 90% of the maximal activity was detected at 9.0. The positive effects of xylanase pretreatment on bleachability of softwood and hardwood kraft pulps were observed. The kappa number of softwood and hardwood kraft pulps was decreased by 3.7 and 2.0 units, respectively. The pulp fibre integrity was not significantly affected by xylanase pretreatment when the physical properties of handsheets made from xylanase-treated pulps were compared with those of handsheets from untreated pulps. These results indicate that the alkaline xylanase of Cephalospotium sp. RYM-202 is well suitable for application in enzymatic prebleaching of softwood and hardwood kraft pulps under the alkaline conditions.

침엽수와 활엽수 펄프내의 리그닌(lignin) 제거 효과를 개선하기 위해 호알칼리성 균류인 Cephalospotium sp. RYM-202의 xylanase를 표백 전처리하고 이에 의한 펄프의 표백 증진 효과를 조사하였다. 두 종류의 펄프 모두 5$0^{\circ}C$에서 효소반응을 수행하였을 때 펄프내 xylan의 가수분해가 가장 높게 나타났다. 펄프내 xylan의 가수분해를 위한 효소의 최적 pH는 8.0이었으며, pH 9.0에서도 최대활성의 90%이상이 유지되었다. 각각의 펄프 재료에 효소를 전처리한 결과 표백(리그닌 제거)과정의 증진 효과를 보였으며, 침엽수와 활엽수의 kappa number는 각각 3.7과 2.0 ISO units 만큼 감소되었다. 아울러 효소처리 혹은 효소 미처리 펄프를 각각 표백한 후 수초지를 제조하여 종이의 물성을 상호 비교한 바, 효소처리는 종이의 섬유 구조에 큰 영향을 끼치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과들은 호알칼리성 Cephalospotium sp. RYM-202의 알칼리내성 xylanase가 알칼리 조건하에서의 펄프 전처리 과정에 매우 적합함을 의미한다.
