Experimental Evaluation of Sugar Cane Bagasse Storage in Bales System

Abstract

An experimental evaluation was carried out on three bagasse storage piles with the following characteristics: wet baled raw bagasse, wet baled depithed bagasse and pre-dried baled depithed bagasse. In each of these formerly mentioned alternatives, the storage time influence was analyzed on temperature profile, humidity behavior, granulometry and morphology, with and without mechanical treatment, solubility in hot water, NaOH and alcoholbenzene extractives. In the same way, the behavior of brightness in mechanical pulps produced from stored bagasse was studied. Storage losses were calculated for each alternative on the basis of obtained results and it wasdemonstrated that pre-dried bagasse as compared with wet bagasse storage, yields lower losses and better conservation of its characteristics.

Ecologically friendly modified green liquor method for enhancing the technological properties of sugarcane bagasse (Saccharum officinarum L.) pulp

“…During pulping with green liquor at 11% (AA), the screened pulp yield was significantly improved 2.6%, kappa number was reduced 23%, rejects reduced 0.9%, and brightness increased 3% compared to conventional kraft pulp. An increase in the active alkali to 13% led to limited improvements in the screened bagasse pulp yield (Lois-Correa et al 2010). Screened pulp yield of Phragmites karka increased as doses of active alkali increased from 9 to 15% (as Na2O) then declined (Kumar et al 2013).…”

Study of the drying kinetics of the malt bagasse in a pneumatic transporter

“…Correa et al [30] made careful measurements and found that the loss in a closely packed stack of bales was 20-25% after only 40 days. Drying the bagasse to 25% moisture reduced the loss to about 3% in 40 days, rising to only 6.5% after 120 days [31].…”
