Disclosed is a method for improving
fiber softness of high yield pulp, including a high yield pulp; the method comprises: treating the high yield pulp with
ozone; and treating with
cellulase; the disclosure offers the following advantages: The high yield pulp in the present disclosure is sequentially treated with
ozone and
cellulase. Removal of
lignin on the surface with
ozone increases the softness of the
fiber and loosens the
fiber structure. Therefore, treating the fiber with ozone can open a "channel" for the entry of
cellulase. Then the cellulase allows water molecules to enter the fiber, and the distance between fiber
macromolecule chains increases, which causes the fiber to deform with reduced stiffness, thereby improving the softness. Therefore, by treating with cellulase based on the pretreatment of high-yield pulp with ozone, the present disclosure increases the
accessibility of cellulase and fiber. Besides, ozone as a green agent can improve the softness of the fiber without or with little
pollution to the environment.
