摘要

The aim of this study was to assess the potential of the fungus Phellinus linteus in the biopulping process of Pinus sp. and Eucalyptus sp. woods chips. The physical and chemical properties of wood chips, their behavior during the Kraft pulping process, as well as the quality of the cellulose pulp and paper produced, were evaluated. Basic density, extractive content, and lignin content were lower in the biotreated wood chips compared to the control. Eucalyptus and Pinus woods treated with Phellinus linteus required less active alkali for cooking, with 20.8% active alkali for Eucalyptus and 21.1% for Pinus, respectively. A higher gross yield was observed in the treated Eucalyptus sp. chips, while Pinus sp. chips showed no significant difference compared to the control. Paper strength was greater in the biotreated Eucalyptus, whereas in Pinus, the untreated chips exhibited higher strength. The fungus Phellinus linteus shows potential for use in the biopulping process, with reduced chemical consumption and benefits in yield and paper quality.
