Abstract in Portuguese
O presente trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar os efeitos de celulases comerciais na superfície de fibras celulósicas branqueadas de eucalipto, bem como o impacto destes efeitos durante o refino. Após tratamento enzimático realizado em laboratório sob condições controladas, as polpas de fibra seca foram submetidas a refino em moinho PFI em vários níveis de energia e os resultados foram avaliados por meio dos ensaios físico-mecânicos realizados em folhas manuais formadas em laboratório e ensaios de morfologia de fibra, que tinham como objetivo evidenciar alguns efeitos provocados pelas enzimas utilizadas como auxiliar de refino. As análises dos dados obtidos mostraram que para a fibra seca tratada com produto denominado Maxymize 2530, foi possível obter valores 31% maiores de resistência à tração e 21% maiores de resistência interna (Scott Bond), valores estes sem refino mecânico. Estes valores foram similares aos encontrados para a fibra nunca seca, o que mostrou que a enzima pôde compensar o efeito "Hornification" causado pelo processo de secagem da fibra. Para a fibra seca pré-tratada com celulase e refinada em moinho PFI, foi possível obter um valor de Scott Bond de 100 lb.ft/in² com um consumo específico de energia 36% menor quando comparado com a fibra seca refinada em moinho PFI sem pré-tratamento enzimático. O mesmo aconteceu para os valores de resistência a tração, onde se obteve um valor de 70 kNm/kg com consumo específico de energia 57% menor. O planejamento experimental realizado contribuiu para a otimização de dosagem e variáveis do pré-tratamento enzimático, e com isso tornou possível a viabilização financeira da aplicação de celulases como auxiliar de refino. Todos os resultados foram ilustrados por imagens de Microscopia Eletrônica de Varredura (MEV), que evidenciou o aumento do nível de fibrilação externa das fibras tratadas com enzimas.

Abstract in English
This study aimed to evaluate the effects of commercial cellulases on the surface of bleached eucalyptus fibers, as well as the impact of these effects during refining. After enzymatic treatment performed in the laboratory under controlled conditions, the dried pulps were subjected to refining in PFI mill at various energy levels and the results were evaluated by physical-mechanical tests performed on handsheets formed in laboratory and morphology fiber tests, which were intended to show some effects caused by the enzymes used as an aid to refining. The data analysis showed that for the dry fiber treated with compound Maxymize 2530, it was possible to obtain values 31% higher tensile strength and 21% higher Scott Bond test, these values without mechanical refining. These values are similar to those found for the never dried fiber, which showed that the enzyme could compensate the "Hornification" caused by the drying process of the fiber. To the dried fiber pre-treated with cellulase and refined in a PFI mill, it was possible to obtain a value of Scott Bond 100 lb.ft /in² with a specific energy consumption was 36% lower when compared to the dried fiber refined in a PFI mill without pre -enzymatic treatment. The same happened to the values of tensile strength, which presented a value of 70 kNm/kg with a specific energy consumption with 57% lower. The experimental design carried out contributed to the optimization of dosage and variables of enzymatic pre-treatment, and thereby made possible the financial feasibility of the application of cellulases as an aid to refining. All results are illustrated by images of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), which showed an increase in the level of external fibrillation of fibers treated with enzymes.
