The document discusses producing and evaluating fluting paper from semichemical bagasse pulp. Bagasse is pulped using the soda process. The physical and mechanical properties of fluting paper made from the bagasse pulp are compared to hardwood pulp produced using the NSSC process. The bagasse pulp produced stronger fluting paper and could reduce wood consumption.

Abstract1

f
Soda is the most important pulping process for production of semichemical pulp
from agricultural residues especially bagasse. Technical specifications and

o
characteristics of fluting paper produced from agricultural residues are similar to
those produced from wood species by using common NSSC process. In the present

e
study, the potential of semichemical soda bagasse pulp and the comparison of its
physical and mechanical properties with hardwood NSSC pulp produced in

v
Mazandaran Wood and Paper Industries (MWPI) at laboratory scale were

i
investigated. 8 percent active alkali and cooking time of 20 minutes at 160 °C, was
selected as optimum condition for making semichemical soda bagasse pulp with

h
pulp yield of 64.5 percent and kappa number of 74. Properties of fluting paper from
semichemical soda bagasse pulp were compared with hardwood NSSC pulp. It was

c
shown that flutting paper produced from soda bagasse pulp had much superior
physical and strength properties than hardwood NSSC. As a result, in the case of

r
using bagasse semichemical pulp for production of fluting paper in mills like
MWPI, not only stronger paper may be produced but also significant reduction in

A
forest based wood consumption can be achieved.
