Perhaps we often do not know that nature is often an inspiration for us in creating environmentally friendly technologies. Biopulping is one of them. This is imitating the process of microorganisms in the weathering process for use in industrial level.
Nature often provides good ideas for human life. Call it weathering process of wood, twigs, the leaves or other. As the materials melt, decomposition occurs which makes it destroyed the natural joint. There is no garbage or waste. When examined in more detail, the process is driven by microorganisms.
Microorganisms which consists of a number of microbes help the natural weathering process so that the waste is broken down, back into the soil in the form of topsoil. The work of microorganisms which produce no pollution is perfect to give inspiration to our scientists to use in the industrial sector.
Paper and pulp industry is famous for its waste is difficult to overcome. This waste is derived from chemicals such as caustic soda, sulfite and sulfide in the salt content of lignin removal process. These chemicals are considered a source of environmental pollution. The process of polluting the air and sulfur use has been banned in several developed countries such as Germany.
The ideal pulp processing biopulping, namely processing of pulp with the help of microbes. Bambang explained that the benefits biopulping that stand out are saving energy and reducing the use of chemicals. The process of making pulp and paper pulp alias usually done by cooking wood chips, straw or bagasse. Overall use of chemicals. The purpose of this process is to separate the lignin component.
In biopulping, the chemicals had been replaced by a similar microbial enzyme that can remove and degrade lignin. These microbes are the class of fungus or wood rot fungi that are often found in the wild. Bleach paper that had been using chemicals such as chlorite and hydrogen peroxide can be replaced by the enzymes released by fungal rot. Several enzymes are well known to degrade lignin is a manganese peroxidase, laccase and lignin peroxidase.

Need Time
There are some shortcomings in this biopulping than the conventional process, ie it takes more time in operasionilnya. Biopulping is only one of the many benefits of biomass weathering process. Another benefit call it ethanol production that can be used as a fuel substitute derived from premium.Ini fermentai processes simultaneously, namely to break the cellulose into sugars and ferment the sugar into ethanol.

Weathering likewise inspire scientists to use it as a substitute for plastic and composite materials. Weathering on the wood or biomass material effect on the easily accessible material or polymer resin, which can be used to produce materials such as wood plastic composite. In addition, wood rot fungi can also produce plastics from natural fibers.
