Extraction and Characterization of Hemicelluloses from a Softwood Acid Sulfite Pulp

Hemicelluloses were extracted from a softwood acid sulfite pulp in a three-step procedure. Further delignification step resulted in a holocellulose pulp containing only 1.7 wt.% of the lignin left. Cold caustic extraction (CCE) with 18 wt.% NaOH at 60 °C for 1 h was performed to solubilize hemicellu...
