Influence of xylan content on the oxygen delignification performance of eucalypt kraft pulps as studied using prehydrolysis and xylanase treatments

Common metrics for evaluating the efficiency of oxygen delignification include the kappa number and Klason lignin content. As a change in xylan content often leads to a change in HexA content, the kappa number must be corrected for the HexA contribution before evaluating the degree of oxygen deligni...
