Abstract:
Carbon dioxide is used to adjust the pH of cellulosic pulp or biomass to 6.5 to 7.5 prior to or during the application of enzymes to and the interaction of the enzymes with the cellulosic pulp. The carbon dioxide is applied as a gas into a pulp stream or biomass and tends to disperse more uniformly throughout the pulp or biomass.
