dc.description.abstractFour xylanase preparations that are commercially available, namely Cartazyme from Sandoz, Ecopulp from Alko-ICI, Irgazyme from Ciba-Genencor and Pulpzyme HB from Novo Nordisk, were tested in bleaching experiments of kraft pulps from Pinus radiata. The main objective of this study was to optimize a reduction in the consumption of chlorine dioxide in the bleaching sequences C-90/D(10)E(o)DED, C-70/D(30)E(o)DED and D(100)EDED. Enzymatic treatments led to savings of ClO2 between 3.5 and 3.9 kg per air-dried tons (ADT) in the three bleaching sequences, without affecting the target brightness of the pulps. In these assays, some minor although reproducible differences in the performance of the enzymes were observed. In most cases, xylanase treatment partially affected the beatability of the pulps, measured as the number of revolutions in the PFI mill required to reach the same tensile index as the respective controls.
