Jute stick is the woody portion of jute plant. It remains as the leftover after extracting the fibre. The ratio of the stick to fibre is about 2.5:1. For producing dissolving pulp, prehydrolysis is carried out prior to pulping to remove hemicelluloses from the lignocelluloses. In this investigation ethylenediamine (EDA) was used with the cooking liquor to remove hemicelluloses from the jute stick. Increasing EDA charge in soda and kraft liquor decreased pentosans content in the pulp. EDA in kraft liquor showed lower kappa number and pentosans content than in the soda-liquor. Prehydrolysis further improved cellulose content and kappa number of jute stick pulp with the sacrifice of pulp yield. The bleachability of soda-EDA pulp was inferoior to the kraft-EDA and prehydrolysed soda-EDA in ECF bleaching sequences. The final brightness of soda-EDA pulp was 85.1% and kraft-EDA pulp 89.7%. Degraded cellulose (R18-R10) in soda-EDA and kraft-EDA pulps was lower than prehydrolysed pulps. Dissolving pulp can be produced to 93% purity without prehydrolysis by reinforcing EDA in kraft liquor.Bangladesh J. Sci. Ind. Res. 50(1), 7-14, 2015

Comparative studies of retted jute fiber, jute cuttings and jute caddis were carried out in producing dissolving and paper grade pulp. Fiber length of jute fiber was longer than jute cutting and caddis. Klason lignin content was lower and α-cellulose content higher in jute fiber than cuttings and caddis. Extractives content in caddis was higher than jute fiber and cuttings. Pulping of these raw materials was done in soda-anthraquinone process. Higher pulp yield and lower kappa number was observed in jute fiber than that of jute cuttings and caddis. Jute fiber pulp showed better papermaking properties than jute cuttings and caddis. The tear index of these raw materials was similar to softwood. The bleachability of jute fiber pulp was also better than that of cuttings and caddis. These three raw materials were also evaluated in producing dissolving pulp by prehydrolysed kraft process. Pulp yield and bleachability was higher and kappa number lower for jute fiber than jute cuttings and caddis, but α-cellulose, S10 and S18 values and viscosity were almost similar in these three raw materials.

The kenaf taken from Malang-East Java was four to five months old and used as the raw material of dissolving pulp. Morphology and chemicals content of kenaf was analyzed based on Indonesian National Standard (SNI). Kenaf fibre has the fibre length average of 2.59 mm for stem and 3.63 mm for bast and it is classified on the long fiber, fibre length > 1.60 mm. It contains alpha cellulose in the amount of 45.45% for bast and 39.46% for stem. Kenaf was cut with the length of 3 to 5 cm to make chips. Before cooking, pre-hydrolyzed using water and dilute acid (0.4% H2SO4) was done to remove pentosan (hemicellulose) by soaking chips in water and 0.4% H2SO4 in the ratio of 1 : 5 at temperature of 135oC for 2 hours. The results was mixed with cooking liquor which contains Active Alkali (AA) of 16% and Sulfidity (S) of 28%. Ratio of raw material and cooking liquor was 1 : 5 at temperature of 160oC for 3 hours. Bleaching process was done in the five stages consisted of X0D0E0D1D2 (Xylanase, Oxygen delignification, Chlorine Dioxide, Oxygen Ectraction, Chlorine Dioxide 1st, Chlorine Dioxide 2nd). Bleaching process in the stage of X use xylanase enzyme (bio-bleaching). Every stage was washed with hot soft water up to neutral pH. Dissolving pulp was analyzed for brightness, alpha cellulose content and other chemicals content. Pulp viscosity is very high, which means that the pulp bleaching process is not much cause degraded cellulose Keywords: bio-bleaching, dissolving pulp, pre-hydrolyzed, kenaf, xylanase  ABSTRAKKenaf berasal dari daerah Jawa Timur Malang - berusia empat sampai lima bulan dan digunakan sebagai bahan baku dissolving pulp.

Rayon Fiber

The garment industry is the backbone of Bangladesh’s economy, which imports 30000 metric tons of rayon fiber every year. Bangladesh used to have a rayon plant, but it was shut down a long time ago. At present, the establishment of a new rayon plant in Bangladesh has become an objective. As a forest deficient country, non-wood plants need to be explored for rayon grade dissolving pulp production. Therefore, in this paper, prehydrolysis potassium hydroxide (KOH) pulping process has been investigated for dissolving pulp production from rice and wheat straws, corn stalk, dhaincha and jute stick. The lowest prehydrolysis yield was 70.1% obtained for corn stalks and the highest prehydrolysis yield was 92.1% for wheat straw. The KOH cooking of prehydrolysed rice straw, wheat straw and corn stalks with 14% alkali charge produced pulps with kappa numbers of 5.7, 4.5 and 8.8, respectively, while prehydrolysed dhaincha and jute stick needed 18% alkali charge to get a bleachable pulp. Dhaincha showed the highest pulp yield (37.3%) with the highest α-cellulose content (92.24%) and the lowest residual pentosan content (5.37%). Further purification with cold KOH extraction increased purity by 3% for rice straw pulp and by 1% for dhaincha, wheat straw, corn stalks and jute stick pulp. Thus, the dissolving pulp produced in this study by the prehydrolysis KOH process can meet the criteria for rayon grade pulp.

Abstract The potential use of coir fiber for pulping and papermaking has been investigated. This research aimed to study effects of pulping processing variables (temperature, pulping time, and alkali charge/solvent pulping) on the properties of pulp (residual lignin, alpha cellulose, kappa number and pulp yield) from coir fiber. For this purpose, the coir fibers were cooked using alkali charge (10 to 20% oven dried, as NaOH), pulping time from 60 to 120 min and temperature from 65 to 180oC. Results indicated that alkali charge and pulping time gave more impact on the properties of pulp than temperature. Pulping at high temperature, long pulping time, and high alkali charge resulted in decreasing of lignin, pulp yield, and kappa number but instead on alpha cellulose content.

Pulp Production

The objective of this study was to evaluate the possibility of producing dissolving grade pulp from tobacco stalk through combining SO2-ethanol-water (SEW) fractionation, alkaline extraction, and bleaching with oxygen (O), chlorine dioxide (D), alkaline extraction with hydrogen peroxide (Ep), and hydrogen peroxide (P) (OD0(Ep)D1P). The results showed that the optimum SEW cooking condition to remove the original xylan and lignin in tobacco stalk to an acceptable level was 6% SO2 charge (by weight) at 135 °C for 180 min. A bleachable pulp (Kappa number of 21.5) was produced from the SEW-treated tobacco stalk via a subsequent 1% NaOH extraction. After the OD0(Ep)D1P sequence bleaching, the bleached pulp showed a high brightness (88.1% ISO) and a high α-cellulose content (94.9%). The viscosity (15.8 cP) and the residual xylan content (4.4%) of the pulp were within acceptable levels for dissolving pulp production. Thus, tobacco stalk was shown to be a viable raw material for dissolving pulp production following a SEW treatment, alkaline extraction, and a conventional bleaching sequence.

Eucalyptus dunii has been commercially used in southern Brazil because of its relatively good frost tolerance and adequate productivity in the winter months. More recently, interest has grown in cultivating Eucalyptus benthamii Maiden & Cambage, which presents even superior frost tolerance compared to E. dunii and is highly productive as well. The quality of E. benthamii for pulp production is not yet proven. Thus, the chemical, anatomical, and technological aspects of pulp made from E. benthamii were compared with those of E. dunii for unbleached paper production. Samples of E. benthamii chips were obtained and analyzed for their basic density, chemical composition, higher heating value, trace elemental analysis, and chip size distribution. The chips were kraft cooked using conditions that produced a 74 ± 6 kappa number. The pulps were characterized for kappa number, yield, viscosity, and morphologic characteristics (e.g., length, wall thickness, and coarseness). Black liquor was analyzed for total solids, organics, inorganics, sodium sulfide, sodium hydroxide, and sodium carbonate. Brownstocks were beaten at five different energy levels in a Valley beater, and the physical strength properties of 120 g/m² handsheets were measured to develop a beater curve. The results of this study showed differences in delignification between the two woods and lower pulp yield for E. benthamii , which are related to their chemical compositions and basic densities. The E. benthamii studied in this work exhibited higher amounts of lignin and extractives, lower carbohydrate content, and lower basic density. However, cooking a blend of the two woods afforded good results in pulping and in physical pulp properties.

Jute cutting, jute caddis, and cutting-caddis mixtures were prehydrolyzed by varying time and temperature to get about 90% prehydrolyzed yield. At the conditions of 170°C for 60 min of prehydrolysis, the yield for 100% jute cutting was 76.3%, while the same for jute caddis was only 67.9%. But with prehydrolysis at 150°C for 60 min, the yield was 90% for jute cutting, where 49.94% of original pentosan was dissolved and prehydrolysis of jute caddis at 140°C in 60 min yielded 86.4% solid residue. Jute cutting-caddis mixed prehydrolysis was done at 140°C for 30 min and yielded 92% solid residue for 50:50 cutting-caddis mixtures, where pentosan dissolution was only 29%. Prehydrolyzed jute cutting, jute caddis, and cutting-caddis mixtures were subsequently kraft cooked. Pulp yield was only 40.9% for 100% jute cutting prehydrolyzed at 170°C for 60 min, which was 10.9% lower than the prehydrolysis at 140°C. For jute cutting-caddis mixed prehydrolysis at 140°C for 45 min followed by kraft cooking, pulp yield decreased by 3.3% from the 100% cutting to 50% caddis in the mixture, but 75% caddis in the mixture decreased pulp yield by 6.7%. The kappa number 50:50 cutting-caddis mixture was only 11.3. Pulp bleachability improved with increasing jute cutting proportion in the cutting-caddis mixture pulp.

In this paper, chia plant was characterized in terms of chemical, morphological, and anatomical properties. Chia plant was characterized with low α-cellulose (30.5%); moderate lignin (23.2%) with syringyl to guaiacyl ratio of 1.41; and shorter fiber length (0.67 mm) with thinner cell wall (1.91 μm) and good flexibility coefficient (71.44). Anatomical features showed that chia plant consists of vessels, fibers, parenchyma cells, and collenchyma cells. Chia plant pulping was evaluated in soda-anthraquinone (soda-AQ) and formic acid/peroxyformic acid (FA/PFA) processes. Chia plant was difficult to delignify in the alkaline process. The FA/PFA process produced higher pulp yield at the same kappa number than the soda-AQ process. Unbleached soda-AQ chia pulp exhibited good proper-ties in terms of tensile, bursting, and tearing strengths, even at the unrefined stage, due to high drainability of the pulps. Alkaline peroxide bleached FA/PFA pulp exhibited better papermaking properties and 2% higher brightness than the D0(EP)D1 bleached soda-AQ pulp.
