Sponge Gourd Potential for the Raw Material of Paper and Dissolving Pulp
Jurnal Ilmu dan Teknologi Kayu Tropis, 2023Sponge gourd (Luffa cylindrica) provides a sustainable and cheap source of lignocellulosic materials potential for the raw material of paper and dissolving pulp. In the present works, sponge gourd fruits 5 and 8 months old were pre-hydrolyzed in an acidic (pH of 5) and neutral (pH of 7) at 165 C for 3 hours, and successively soda pulped at a maximum ...
