Summary: | ABSTRACT
This study was carried out to investigate the effect of biological treatment with Phanerochaete chrysosporium Burds fungi on the degradation process of chemical component of wood of Sengon (Paraserianthes falcataria (L) Nielsen) especially lignin, celullose and extractives and efficiency of the pulping process.
The white-rot fungus, P. chrysosporium Burds was cultured at 28 ° C, RH 65 % for 7 days under growth medium, and inoculated to wood chips of Sengon and incubated for 4 weeks. The chips were then analyzed of its chemical components and then cooked by kraft process with 3 variation of active alkali (16%, 14%,12%) and 3 variation of cooking time (2
