Comparative Properties of Soda Pulps from Stalk, Bast, and Core of Malaysian Grown Kenaf
نویسندگان
چکیده
Soda pulping was performed using kenaf stalk, core, and bast as raw materials. It was observed that all these components could yield good paper characteristics when the resulting pulps were beaten to a freeness of 200 to 300 mL. Soda pulp made from the stalk was comparable to the frond from oil palm in sheet properties, but the latter would require higher beating energy to reach similar freeness as compared to the former.

Kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus L., Malvaceae) is a high-yielding tropical plant traditionally grown for the long, strong bast fibers that develop in the bark layer of the stem. Cultivation spread internationally in the early to mid-twentieth century, but interest waned, particularly in developed counties, as raw materials for cordage and related products shifted from biological to petrochemical sou...

The present work aims at the chemical characterization of several non-woody fibers from herbaceous plants used for manufacturing high quality paper pulps, with especial emphasis in the composition of lignin and lipophilic compounds. Among the fibers studied are bast fibers from flax, hemp, kenaf and jute and leaf fibers from abaca and sisal. Flax and hemp showed the lowest lignin content (< 5%)...

If kenaf lines differ in woody core fiber length and cellulose content, it may be possible to increase the pulp quality of kenaf through breeding. Forty-eight cultiYars, breeding lines, and accessions of cultivated kenaf (HibisCIlS camzabinus L.) were analyzed for diHerences in woody core fiber length and monethanolamine (MEA) cellulose, yield, and plant size. All commercial culth-ars of kenaf ...
