Biopulping: A glimpse of the future. Forest Service research paper

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5209178

The objective of the consortium research was to evaluate the technical feasibility of biopulping, defined as the fungal pretreatment of wood for pulping. The research focussed on mechanical pulping, specifically on energy savings for the pulping itself, and on paper properties. Past work on biopulping has been minimal, but generally encouraging. In addition to the research objective, the Consortium served an information and education function, interfacing the industrial partners with developments in biotechnology.
