Effect of Cationic Starch and Chitosan on Dry Strength of Bleached Soda Pulps Made of Pre-Extracted and Non-Extracted Bagasse

This study focused on the properties of alkaline pulp obtained from the soda pulping of pre-extracted bagasse and the effects of dry strength polymers on mechanical properties of paper in comparison to a paper obtained from nonextracted bagasse. Hot-water pre-extraction was carried out at 135°C for...

description This study focused on the properties of alkaline pulp obtained from the soda pulping of pre-extracted bagasse and the effects of dry strength polymers on mechanical properties of paper in comparison to a paper obtained from nonextracted bagasse. Hot-water pre-extraction was carried out at 135°C for 30 min. Consequently, soda pulping and ECF bleaching were performed on pre-extracted and un-extracted bagasse, under similar conditions. It was found that pre-extraction of about 50% of hemicelloluse of the bagasse decreased total pulping yield, kappa number and increased bleachability of pulps and resulted in a significant loss in tensile and burst strengths of hand-sheets. Then, reinforcing effect of the pulps with chitosan and cationic starch applied in the wet-end were investigated. The results obtained with suitable amounts of chitosan and cationic starch were encouraging, because comparable strengths were obtained from pre-extracted and un-extracted bleached soda bagasse pulps with 1% chitosan and 1.5% cationic starch. According to the results, drop in paper strength due to hemicellulose pre-extraction of the bagasse could be compensated using suitable dry strength polymer.
