PENGOLAHAN BIOMASSA BERLIGNOSELULOSA SECARA ENZIMATIS DALAM PEMBUATAN PULP: STUDI KEPUSTAKAAN
ABSTRACT: Pulp (cellulose
fiber suspension) is the main raw material in paper and medium density fiber
(MDF) board industry. The critical process in pulping is to break down the
linkage of cell wall component among lignin, hemicellulose and cellulose in
order to get individual fiber of cellulose. To enhance fiber refining,
pretreatment method can be applied on biomass before pulping either chemical,
mechanical, thermal, biological or combination of the processes. Biological
process can be chosen due to its ability to degrade the lignin so that the
cellulose fiber can be taken easier. This process, called biopulping uses a set
of enzymes produced by white rot fungi. This paper reviews broad improvement of
biopulping and its impact to the environmental friendly goal.
