  • Use of hemicellulase composition in mechanical pulp production
    Publication number: 20050000666
    Abstract: Methods for reducing energy required for a pulp refining processes by treating a mechanical pulp with a hemicellulase composition are presented. The enzymatic treatment can be carried out at a temperature of from about 10° C. to about 90° C., and/or at a pH of from about 2 to about 10. Paper made from the treated pulp has improved strength over paper made from untreated pulp.
