Construction and Characterization of Fitting Equations for a New Wheat Straw Pulping Method

Abstract

The pretreatment of pulp with enzymes has been extensively studied in the laboratory. However, due to cost constraints, the application of enzymes in the pulp and paper industry is very limited. In this paper, an environment-friendly and efficient pulping method is proposed as an alternative to traditional pulping and papermaking methods. This new method overcomes the low efficiency and extreme pollution problems associated with traditional pulping methods. In addition, fitting equations for the new pulping method are constructed using data on enzyme treatments, which reflect the effect of enzymes and enable the realization of real-time control of the pulping process. The experimental results show that the efficiency of the pulping and papermaking process can be improved using biological enzymes, and the separation of cellulose can be facilitated using mixed enzymes, which have a better effect than single enzymes.
