Abstract
Uncatalyzed ethanol and methanol pulping of sugar cane bagasse was con ducted and the effects of liquor-to-bagasse ratio, alcohol concentrati on, cooking temperature and cooking time were studied. It was found th at, by optimising the process conditions, pulp with high yield could b e obtained, Also, ii. was found that the washing procedure plays an im portant role for the lignin content of the pulp. Alkali addition to et hanol pulping had a significant effect in increasing selectivity at lo wer cooking temperature.
