ADVANTAGE - The reactivity for acetylation can be nearly optimised and the process can be integrated with production of the pulp or purification of the linters.de608668Verfahren zur Verbesserung der Reaktionsaktivitaet von Cellulose zur Herstellung von CelluloseacetatIncreasing reactivity of pulp or linters to optimum level for cellulose acetate production - involves treatment in aqueous dispersion with cellulytic enzyme, preferably cellulase and/or xylanase, which can be integrated with pulp production or purification of linters.patent1996-19621784
