- Abstract
Depithed Mexican bagasse was pulped using the alkaline Sulfite-antraquinone pulping process. The effects of the addition of small amounts of ethanol and varied amounts of AQ as well as different alkali ratios were investigated. 20 mins cooking time results in pulps with good yields, high brightness and excellent strength properties. Despite of short cooking time delignification can be performed to extremely low kappa numbers without pulp degradation which provides an easy bleaching. The addition of a small amount of ethanol retards the delignification rate and increases the rejects and the strength properties of the pulp, but after bleaching the improvement in strength is neglectable. With respect to yield, rejects content and physical properties of the pulp, the Optimum alkali ratio (Na2SO3: total alkali) is 0.75 and the favourable amount of AQ is 0.05 to 0.1% based on o.d. bagasse. Pulp bleaching can be done in two or three stages with chlorine or hypochlorite yielding high brightness and good pulp strengths.
