THE EFFECT OF ORGANOSOLV TREATMENT ON THE PHYSICOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF PULP AND PAPER FROM HORSE GRASS (ANDROPOGON TECTORUM).

Journal of Chemical Society of Nigeria, 2020
The delignification of horse grass (HG) was carried out using methanol and water (organosolv pulping); varying the cooking conditions at 30min, 60min and 90min with ratios: 1:1, 1:2 and 1:3, Methanol-water, cooked in autoclave at 1050C. The pulp obtained were selected and macerated in equal volume of glacial acetic acid (ethanoic acid) and hydrogen ...

Thermal and Chemical Characterization of Bleached Cellulose From Horse Grass (Andropogon Tectorum)

Abstract Horse grass fibers were pretreated with 10% (w/v) sulfuric acid solution to eliminate hemicelluloses and obtained cellulose fibers. Cellulose fibers obtained were then de-lignified with 25% methanol, 60 min cooking time at 1210C, and later subjected to hydrogen peroxide–acetic acid (HPAC) bleaching process.
