Influence of dimethyl formamide pulping of bagasse on pulp properties

Agricultural palm oil tree residues as raw material for cellulose, lignin and hemicelluloses production by ethylene glycol pulping process

“…Yield: EFB ethylene glycol pulping process presented medium yield value (52%) similar to other results previously reported for ethylene glycol pulping of agricultural residues (cotton stalks and vine shoots [25,57] and alternative raw materials (leucaena [60] and tagasaste: C. proliferus [25,59,60]). These references were included in Table 4 with the aim of comparison.…”

“…Tearing resistance is a function Vine shootsethylene glycol [57] Vine shootsethanol [57] Wheat strawformaldehide [58] Bagasse-dimethyl formamide [59] of both fibre strength and fibre bonding [64]. Fibre length has been widely considered important in contributing to the tearing strength of paper.…”

“…Values were in the range of organosolv non-woody pulps [56][57][58][59] as can be seen in Table 3, where chemical composition of different non-woody pulps was included with the aim of comparison. Results obtained for soda pulping process revealed the stronger effect of the traditional pulping process on the fibres, as can be inferred from the higher holocellulose and ␣-cellulose percentages and lower lignin content.…”

White Paper: Demonstration of Equivalency of Cane and Softwood Based Celotex for 9975 Packaging

“…Other minor constituents of softwood and sugarcane bagasse are water insoluble extractives which include terpenes, fatty acids, aromatic compounds, oils, and waxes. Both softwood and sugarcane bagasse may contain approximately 1-7% extractives [3][4][5][6]. The average composition of the primary constituents (i.e.…”

Lignocellulosics as a Renewable Feedstock for Chemical Industry: Chemical Hydrolysis and Pretreatment Processes

“…Other organic solvents such as cyclohexane [200,201], phenol [202,203], and ethylenediamine [204] and dimethyl formamide [205] have also been trialled as pretreatment solvents. In all of these solvents, the enzymatic digestibility of pretreated biomass was increased to some extent, but the solvents are generally considered to be too expensive for large-scale production and require significant solvent recovery processes.…”
