Hy. Zhan et al., STUDY ON THE CHARACTERISTICS OF POTASSIUM-BASED AND SODIUM-BASED SULFITE PULPING OF BAGASSE, Cellulose Chemistry and Technology, 29(2), 1995, pp. 173-180
Technological characteristics of bagasse potassium-based and sodium-ba
sed sulfite pulping have been studied. Pulp properties and bleachabili
ties of neutral potassium sulfite, neutral potassium sulfite-A Q, alka
line potassium sulfite and neutral sodium sulfite pulping have been co
mpared. The results indicate that K-based sulfite pulping is very comp
etitive with the traditonal Na-based system and bagasse pulps with hig
h yield, good strength and good bleachability can be produced by neutr
al or alkaline potassium sulfite pulping.
