Abstract

High-purity cellulosic pulps with cellulose contents above 98% were produced from bleached softwood paper-grade pulp by applying an enzymatic treatment followed by caustic-borate extraction. In acetylation experiments, the extracted pulp samples having the lowest amounts of residual hemicelluloses resulted in very low yellowness, even as low as 0.18. However, those samples also showed a low transmittance of the triacetate dope, which is undesirable as regards the production of an acetate-grade pulp. This decrease in transmittance is believed to be due to the formation of Cellulose II and its hornification upon removing the water from the pulp.
