Abstract:
      This study systematically investigated the mechanism by which alkali-enzyme synergistic pretreatment affected the properties and dissociation energy consumption of eucalyptus CTMP. The experimental results indicated that under optimal alkali-enzyme synergistic pretreatment conditions (NaOH dosage of 6%, cellulase dosage of 8 FPU/g), pulp properties were significantly improved, and refining energy consumption was substantially reduced. When the pulp freeness reached 150 mL, the energy consumption of the alkali-enzyme synergistic pretreatment was 1 104.01 kWh/t, significantly lower than that of the single alkali pretreatment (1 498.68 kWh/t), and 32.2% lower compared to mechanical refining (1 627.81 kWh/t). Meanwhile, the tensile index (24.4 N·m/g) and bursting index (1.29 kPa·m²/g) of the paper formed via alkali-enzyme synergistic pretreatment increased by approximately 32% and 46%, respectively, compared to the paper formed via mechanical refining (18.5 N·m/g and 0.883 kPa·m²/g). However, the strength properties were slightly reduced compared to the paper formed via single alkali pretreatment. The mechanistic studies revealed that the reduction in refining energy consumption with alkali-enzyme synergistic pretreatment was primarily attributed to the dissolution of lignin and hemicellulose by alkali treatment, which disrupted the lignin-carbohydrate complex structure and caused fiber swelling. The subsequent enzymatic treatment further dissolved part of the cellulose and hemicellulose, increased fiber porosity, and loosened the fiber structure, thereby facilitating fiber separation. The slight decline in the strength properties of the paper formed via alkali-enzyme synergistic pretreatment was related to the dissolution of carbohydrates on the fiber surface during the enzymatic treatment process.
