Water Sources Derived Bio Retting Effect on Kenaf Fiber Compositions
Journal of Natural Fibers, 2022 Concurrent eutrophication and scarcity of water have made the difficulties for kenaf retting; hence, seawater (SW), freshwater (FW), and municipal wastewater (MTW) were assessed for kenaf retting feasibility.

Effect of Warm-Water Retting Pretreatment on the Physical Properties of Banana Stem and Its Fibre. [PDF]
Materials (Basel), 2022 In this paper, warm-water flax retting was used as a pretreatment method for banana-fibre extraction. To determine the optimum conditions for flax retting, the physical properties of various parts of stems and fibres in the process of flax retting were analysed. By studying the tensile strength, elongation at break, diameter, moisture regain, and other

Composites with Flax and Hemp Fibers Obtained Using Osmotic Degumming, Water-Retting, and Dew-Retting Processes. [PDF]
Materials (Basel)This study presents the application of flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) and hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) fibers into composites with polyethylene matrices. The applied fibers were obtained using osmotic, water-retting, and dew-retting processes. The study determined the impact of the fiber extraction method on the properties of the composites obtained from ...

An approach to improve the existing ribbon retting of jute fibre using concrete tank and natural catalyst [PDF]
Heliyon, 2023 The ribbon retting method has been developed as a remedy for the issues associated with the conventional water retting method. But this method has not yet gained popularity among jute growers due to the unavailability of catalyst, inadequate training and

Potential of jute seeds crop waste for textile applications: a novel machine-based approach for sustainable resource utilization [PDF]
Scientific ReportsSeed-producing jute plants are commonly harvested solely for their seeds, leaving the fibre-rich stems unutilized and often burned, which contributes to environmental pollution and resource loss.
