The production of pulp can be substantially increased by addition of anthraquinone
as a catalyst in kraft and soda pulping. However, a greater benefit can be
achieved in soda pulping. In assessing jute fibre as an alternative raw material for
pulping, it shows a promising prospect. The use of neutral sulphite anthraquinone
process can make conifer-like pulp from jute fibre.
Twelve high density (density range 0.775-1.031 g/cm^ lesser used/unused
hardwood species, viz. bhadi (Lannea coromandelica), bahera (Terniinalia belerica),
haritaki (Tarminalia chebula), jam (Syzygium sp.) kanak (Schima wallichii), minjiri
(Cassia simaea), batna (Quercus spj, goda (Vite.x peduncularis), gutguttya (Protium
surratum), homalium (Homalium bhamanse), itchri (Anogeissus acuminata) and
nageshwar (Mesneferrea) were studied to determine their pulp making characteristics.
An active alkali change of 14% and sulfidity of 25% were used in all cooks. It has
been observed that most of these species produce good quality pulp.
