PROSES PEMBUATAN PULP BERBASIS AMPAS TEBU: BATANG PISANG DENGAN METODE ACETOSOLVE
ABSTRACT: In Indonesia, pulp
and paper production generally uses wood.
Intensive forest explotation causes deforesting, global warming,and
lessen the wood deposit and forest area.
Therefore, government should seek alternative raw material such as
bagasse for pulp and paper production, with naturally friendly environment
pulping method, such as acetosolve method. In this research bagasse and banana
fiber were used as raw material for pulp production. Then, raw material analyses was conducted for
chemical content which were cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin, and ash, and pulp physical properties. The best result in pulping process was 70:30
ratio of bagasse and banana fiber with 80% acetate acid concentration which
resulted 56% of cellulose, 27,4% of hemicellulose, 16,2% of lignin, 66%
rendemen, 16.1 GE of brightness index,
0,83 (kPa.m/g) of break index,
2,05 Nm2/Kg Of tear index, 19 Nm/g of
tensil strength, and 93% of paper opacity.
