It also targets paper waste since the latter was employed in different mixing ratios (20:80, 40:60, 60:40 and 80:20). Accordingly, the study investigated the production of paper from the non-wood fibre for subsequent uses hinged on its physical and mechanical characteristics. Its comparable cellulosic content to wood resources in the pulp and paper industry corresponds to its suitability as a substitute in view to reduce our dependency on wood and in line with sustainability. The bamboo biomass is widely available in tropical countries and is actually being used for papermaking on a commercial scale in other countries. orientalis of 50:50 can be used in improving digester yield. To reach 85% brightness, bamboo pulp needed 40 kg ClO2/ton pulp, while mixed chips pulp (50:50) needed 35 kg ClO2/ ton pulp. Bleaching was carried out by ECF sequences, and the bleached pulps were beaten in a PFI mill and tested for optical and physical properties. Tear was obtained at 50:50 chips mixture. The tensile index of the produced was increased with increasing T.

orientalis proportion in the fiber mixture. Pulp yield was increased and kappa number decreased with increasing T. Cooking wasĬarried out for five different chip mixtures (0, 25, 50, 75, and 100%). orientalisĬhips mixtures were kraft cooked and resulting pulp and paper properties were investigated. orientalis with bamboo can compensate digester yield. Optimum pulping conditions of these raw materials were similar. On the other hand basis wood density of bamboo is quite high. orientalis is low, which consequently decreases digester yield.

Recently Trema orientalis is found as the fastest growing wood suitable for pulping. Bamboo is the main fibrous raw material for pulping in Bangladesh.
