Laccase from Trametes sp. I-62 Production, characterization, and application as a new laccase for Eucalyptus globulus kraft pulp biobleaching
The production of laccase from Trametes sp. I-62 was optimized, and then it was applied for the first time in biobleaching in order to contribute to solve some problems associated with pulp bleaching. When wheat straw and copper sulfate were used in combination as inductors, the maximum laccase activity was obtained. The resulting enzymatic fluid was applied at optimum pH and temperature jointly with acetosyringone in a pretreatment stage (L) aimed to enhance the subsequent bleaching consisting of an alkaline extraction (E) and a hydrogen peroxide stage (P). Results showed that, even when a significantly lower amount of hydrogen peroxide was consumed in the LEP sequence (41.9% vs 89.9% for EP), higher delignification (40.6% vs 33.4%) and brightness (63.6 vs 56.3% ISO) were achieved. After accelerated aging, the optical properties of the biobleached pulp were found to be less stable but still remained higher than those of control pulps. © 2013 American Chemical Society.
