Pulping and Papermaking of Nonwood Plant Fibers

Pulping and Papermaking of Non-wood Plant Fibres

presents the latest technologies associated with the papermaking process.

With chapters specific to each non-wood species, the book provides step-by-step guidance on processes such as pulping, bleaching, blending and beating.

Non-wood fibers are practical for pulp and paper production due to their chemical content of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin percentages.

Beginning with a general overview of non-wood fibers in the papermaking process, chapters then take a deep dive into different raw materials and their processes, including bamboo, corn stalk, pineapple leaves and sugarcane.

This book is an essential resource for researchers, scientists and industry specialists.
