METHOD FOR SIMULTANEOUS ENZYMATIC DESIZING AND KIERING OF CELLULOSE-CONTAINING MATERIAL

摘要

A process for simultaneously desizing and scouring cellulose-containing material involving: (a) providing a first aqueous solution containing at least one pectinase; (b) providing a cellulose-containing material; (c) contacting (b) with (a) at a pH of less than 7 and a temperature of about 50° C. to form a treated cellulose-containing material; (d) providing a second aqueous solution containing a dispersant and a complexing agent; and (e) washing the treated cellulose-containing material in the second aqueous solution at an elevated temperature to form a washed cellulose-containing material.
