Lignin precipitated from black liquor of soda pulping of bagasse was used to prepare cation-exchange resin. The effect of sulfuric acid treatment, concentration of phenol and formaldehyde on the properties of the prepared cation-exchange resin was investigated. It was found that sulfonated resinified phenolated lignin gave a resin with an ion-exchange capacity higher than that of resin, which resulted from sulfonation of resinified lignin at zero phenol concentration. Infrared spectroscopy of the prepared ion-exchange resin shows anew bands at 1060, 1160, 1280 and $1330\;cm^{-1}$ which indicated to the presence of $SO_{3}$.

The conventional pulping processes in Iran were reviewed in this paper. On account of forest resources restriction, a considerable extent of non-harvestable hardwood forests, the possibility of accessable non-wood resources and Poplar fast-growing species for using in pulp and paper industry was investigate. The cultivated area and abundance of each mentioned raw material (Wheat Straw, Sugarcane Bagasse, Poplars) were specified and the quality of their produced papers were compared in strength and opacity properties. Spruce species data was used for experiments comparisons. Regarding to environmental pollutions, low yield, inflexibility in wood and non-wood species resulted from the existent conventional processes of paper manufacturing, APMP is recommended due to high quality paper, desirable opacity properties, high yield and also the usage for all the raw materials.

본 연구는 사탕수수 부산물 펄프를 Element Chlorine Free (ECF) 표백 처리할 때 마지막 과산화수소 표백단계를 추가하여 최종 표백 펄프의 잔류 이산화염소를 제거하고, 총 이산화염소 사용량을 제거하고자 하였다. 특히 과산화수소 표백단계를 효과적으로 사용하기 위한 킬레이트 처리 단계를 반응 조건이 비슷한 이산화염소 표백 단계와 동시 진행하였을 때, 개별적으로 킬레이트 처리를 진행한 표백 펄프의 표백 특성을 비교하였다. 총 이산화염소 사용량이 4.5%(w/w oven dried pulp)일 때 EDTA의 경우 킬레이트를 동시 처리할 때 백색도와 점도는 각각 87.0% ISO와 25.8 cPs로 개별 처리하는 경우 보다 더 높은 표백 특성(86.4% ISO, 25.2 cPs)을 나타냈다. 반면 DTPA를 킬레이트 화합물로 사용하는 경우 동시처리 시(83.9% ISO, 21.9 cPs) 개별처리(86.8% ISO, 25.6 cPs) 보다 표백 특성이 낮은 수준을 나타냈다. 특히 EDTA를 킬레이트 화합물로 사용시 잔류 전이금속(망간 이온, 철 이온) 농도가 개별처리 시 0.65 ppm, 66.74 ppm으로 나타난 반면 동시 처리시 0.52 ppm과 55.68 ppm으로 킬레이트 처리 효과가 향상됨을 확인할 수 있다. DTPA는 동시 처리시 0.71 ppm과 116.88 ppm의 망간 이온, 철 이온 농도가 나타난 반면 개별 처리시 0.56 ppm, 86.17 ppm의 농도로 동시 처리 시 킬레이트 처리 능력이 감소됨을 알 수 있다. 이를 통해 킬레이트 화합물 종류와 처리 방법에 따라 킬레이트 효과의 차이가 나타나며, 효율적인 공정을 위해서는 EDTA를 킬레이트 화합물로 이산화염소 표백단계와 동시 처리하는 것이 표백 효율과 공정효율을 위해 유리한 것으로 나타났다.

Hydrolysis of biomass for the production of fermentable sugar can be improved by the addition of surfactants. In pulp and paper mills, lignin, which is a by-product of the pulping process, can be utilized as a fine chemical. In the hydrolysis process, lignin is one of the major inhibitors of the enzymatic breakdown cellulose into sugar monomer. Therefore, the conversion of lignin into a biosurfactant offers the opportunity to solve the waste problem and improve hydrolysis efficiency. In this study, lignin derivatives, a biosurfactant, was applied to enzymatic hydrolysis of various lignocellulosic biomass. This Biosurfactant can be prepared by reacting lignin with a hydrophilic polymer such as polyethylene glycol diglycidylethers (PEDGE). In this study, the effect of biosurfactants on the enzymatic hydrolysis of pretreated sweet sorghum bagasse (SSB), oil palm empty fruit bunch, and sugarcane trash with different lignin contents was investigated. The results show that lignin derivatives improve the enzymatic hydrolysis of the pretreated biomass with low lignin content, however, it has less influence on the enzymatic hydrolysis of other pretreated biomass with lignin content higher than 10% (w/w). The use of biosurfactant on SSB kraft pulp can increase the sugar yield from 45.57% to 81.49%.

An alkaliphilic bacterium, Bacillus sp. strain BK, was found to produce extracellular cellulase-free xylanolytic enzymes with xylan-binding activity. Since the pellet-bound xylanase is eluted with 2% TEA from the pellet of the culture, they contain a xylan-binding region that is stronger than the xylan-binding xylanase of the extracellular enzyme. The xylanases had a different molecular weight and xylan-binding ability. The enzyme activity of xylanase in the extracellular fraction was 6 times higher than in the pellet-bound enzyme. Among the enzymes, xylanase had the highest enzyme activity. When Bacillus sp. strain BK was grown in pH 10.5 alkaline medium containing xylan as the sole carbon source, the bacterium produced xylanase, arabinofuranosidase, acetyl esterase, and $\beta$-xylosidase with specific activities of 1.23, 0.11, 0.06, and 0.04 unit per mg of protein, respectively. However, there was no cellulase activity detected in the crude enzyme preparation. The hydrolysis of agricultural residues and kraft pulps by the xylanolytic enzymes was examined at 50$^{\circ}C$ and pH 7.0. The rate of xylan hydrolysis in com hull was higher than those of sugarcane bagasse, rice straw, com cop, rice husk, and rice bran. In contrast, the rate of xylan hydrolysis in sugarcane pulp was 2.01 and 3.52 times higher than those of eucalyptus and pine pulp, respectively. In conclusion, this enzyme can be used to hydrolyze xylan in agricultural residues and kraft pulps to breach and regenerate paper from recycled environmental resources.

The substantial use of fungal enzymes to degrade lignocellulosic plant biomass has widely been attributed to the extensive requirement of powerful enzyme-producing fungal strains. In this study, a two-step screening procedure for finding cellulolytic fungi, involving a miniaturized culture method with shake-flask fermentation, was proposed and demonstrated. We isolated 297 fungal strains from several cellulose-containing samples found in two different locations in Thailand. By using this screening strategy, we then selected 9 fungal strains based on their potential for cellulase production. Through sequence-based identification of these fungal isolates, 4 species in 4 genera were identified: Aspergillus terreus (3 strains: AG466, AG438 and AG499), Penicillium oxalicum (4 strains: AG452, AG496, AG498 and AG559), Talaromyces siamensis (1 strain: AG548) and Trichoderma afroharzianum (1 strain: AG500). After examining their lignocellulose degradation capacity, our data showed that P. oxalicum AG452 exhibited the highest glucose yield after saccharification of pretreated sugarcane trash, cassava pulp and coffee silverskin. In addition, Ta. siamensis AG548 produced the highest glucose yield after hydrolysis of pretreated sugarcane bagasse. Our study demonstrated that the proposed two-step screening strategy can be further applied for discovering potential cellulolytic fungi isolated from various environmental samples. Meanwhile, the fungal strains isolated in this study will prove useful in the bioconversion of agricultural lignocellulosic residues into valuable biotechnological products.
