Coupling refining, chemical and enzymatic treatments for improved purification and dissolution of celluloseAdobe PDF DocumentOn March 11, 2022, Gloria Ifunanya Ngene defended a doctoral thesis from the Université Grenoble Alpes prepared under the supervision of Professor Jean-Claude Roux and of Emeritus Professor Dominique Lachenal (Grenoble INP-Pagora / LGP2). She presented the results of her research entitled "Coupling refining, chemical and enzymatic treatments for improved purification and dissolution of cellulose".In this study, mechanical refining was used in conjunction with cold caustic extraction and xylanase treatments. The purpose was to increase the accessibility of chemical and enzymatic agents in the hard-to-reach regions of the fiber for more complete xylan extraction and to improve the reactivity of the pulp to dissolution.
