   Subscribe/Renew Journal


Laboratory scale experiments were carried out on the production or newsprint grade pulps from kenaf by chemi-mechanical pulping processes. Cold-soda, and alkaline sulphite processes were adopted. which could give pulps in high yield (≈7l-88%) having satisfactory strength properties, brightness and opacity. Blending of these pulps with a commercial bleached bamboo pulp further improved the strength properties and brightness.
