Abstract There is increasing attention to the production of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) from lignocellulosic biomass by enzymatic hydrolysis with cellulase. In this study, feasibility application a cellulase system engineered strain Penicillium oxalicum cEES in CNCs was assessed. Using commercial eucalyptus dissolving pulp (EDP) as substrate, were successfully obtained cEES, and total yields ...

Electro-oxidation reactions using a nickel anode were carried out on the calcium-spent liquor effluent obtained from Sappi Saiccor (formerly South African Industrial Cellulose Corporation) dissolving pulp mill as well as on ligninand lignan-type compounds previously identified in the effluent. Voltammograms were obtained for each solution in order to identify the oxidation potentials of the com...
