Study on Direct Delignification with Laccase/Xylanase System

摘要

Direct degradation of lignin with laccase/xylanase system (LXS) instead of the expensive laccase/mediator system (LMS) was investigated. The optimal treatment conditions with LXS were determined. The lignin degrading ability and the physical properties of enzyme treated pulps were compared between LXS and LMS. The results indicated that the optimum treatment conditions of pine kraft pulp with LXS were pH 4.2, temperature 45°, pulp consistency 3%, time 3 h, laccase dosage 10 IU/g. LXS has as strong an ability to delignify with good selectivity as LMS. The strength of pulp was obviously enhanced by LMS treatment to the same extent as LMX when compared with the control at 30 ~0SR. Thus, LXS can entirely replace expensive and complicated LMS for bio-delignification application.
