Abstract

Bagasse was cooked in plastic bag or in autoclave using cold soda pulp method with/without NH4NO3 at different degrees of temperatures and different periods of times. The pulping liquor was in the ratio of 1:6 based on bagasse. The effect of pulping processes variables was investigated. Bagasse produced acceptable unbleached pulp at 80o C in plastic bag and at 105o C in autoclave, with different yield % from 43 % - 61%. The mechanical and physical properties of bagasse pulp sheet using different concentrations ratios of starch and/or borax as added filler during sheets making were investigated. The prepared sheets have been characterized by breaking length, tear index, burst index density and air permeability tests. Starch and/or borax filler added during sheet making improved the mechanical and physical properties of bagasse pulp sheet.
