Effect of Xylanase Modification on Pulp and Paper Properties of Masson Pine Mechanical Pulp

In this paper, the effects of xylanase modification on pulp and paper properties of masson pine mechanical pulp were investigated. After the modification, the Zeta potential of pulp and the cationic demand of whitewater increased，the drainage property of the pulp increased obviously. At the same time, the amount of shives decreased, it showed that using bio-enzyme could improve the utilization rate of raw materials as well as reduces the energy consumption of the mechanical pulp. On the other hand, xylanase modification had great effect on the dynamic contact angle, with the dosage of xylanase increased, the contact angle of the pulp first increased and then reduced.
