Bagasse Pulping by Using Caro's Acid

  • Published : 2001.12.01

Abstract

Caro's acid (persulphuric acid) has been proposed as a promising reagent used in pulping of lignocellu-losic materials. Bagass was subjected to caro's acid pulping under different pulping conditions of per acid concentration (2~8 percent), pulping temperatures (40~$60^{\circ}C$) and pulping time (120~240 min). The influence of different parameters of caro's acid pulping process on the chemical and strength properties of the produced pulps had been studied. Peracid concentration and pulping temperature are the most important variables of the pulping process. High degree of delignification and good deliberation were achieved at moderate pulping conditions in the studied range. Pulping experiments of bagasse by using caro's acid had been carried out for determination of the optimum comditions of the process. In inch case to effectively tackle the problem, a specific design of an experiment is selected depending on the goals to be achieved in the experimentation. The study could enable us to excepect the bagasse pulp properties (yield, Kappa number, DP) that be stated as function of the independent variables of caro's acid pulping process (per acid concentration, pulping temperature and pulping time).
