MRPG: Determining the Topchemical Effects of Enzyme Pre-treatment on Delignification in Conventional Kraft Pulping

0003984雅各布斯-杨本提案是根据《少数民族科学家和工程师研究规划补助金和职业发展奖指南》(NSF 94-147)提交的，更具体地说是对本公告中的少数民族研究规划补助金(MRPG)机会的回应。本研究的目的是研究在硫酸盐法制浆过程中对木屑进行酶处理以减少纸浆厂的排放和废水的效果。以前的工作已经证明了木浆的酶预处理是有效的，并研究了切屑厚度、种类和酶组合的作用。本论文主要研究硫酸盐法制浆中酶预处理对脱木素的拓扑效应。这笔规划补助金将使私人投资公司有机会获得初步结果，以此为基础制定全面的研究方案。***

0003984 Jacobs-Young This proposal was submitted under the guidelines for Research Planning Grants and Career Advancement Awards for Minority Scientists and Engineers, NSF 94-147 and is more specifically in response to the Minority Research Planning Grants (MRPG) opportunities of this announcement. The objective of this research is to study the effect of enzyme pretreatment of wood chips in the Kraft pulping process as a means of reducing pulp mill emissions and effluents. Previous work has shown enzyme pretreatment of wood pulp to be effective and has looked at the role of chip thickness, specie and enzyme combinations. The current work will be focused on the topological effects of enzyme pretreatment on delignification in Kraft pulping. This planning grant will afford the PI the opportunity to obtain preliminary results on which to base a full research proposal. ***
