Pengaruh Jenis Larutan Pemasak Terhadap Kualitas Pulp Daun Pisang

The need for paper continues to increase, indicating that there is an alternative wood material can be used as a base making pulp. Materials are dried banana leaves which contain cellulose. quality of the pulp obtained by characteristics produced. This study was conducted determine effect type solvents on leaves. has been made using delignification process with addition 3% NaOH or Na2CO3 and heating up 120 minutes, at 105 °C. Pulp from results analysis, cellulose content, water physical appearances qualitative analysis FTIR. From content FTIR instruments, solution better suited where resulting 4.96%, smooth fibrous texture, rich color, produces hydroxyl absorption band stronger than Na2CO3. However, lower yield (56.5%) (26.07%) 3%. Dried in making.
