Abstract
Pulping of whole jute plant is done by sodium hydroxide and ethylenediamine (EDA) or monoethanolamine (MEA) within 1 hour of cooking. The pulp yield i s considerably higher than for the control soda and kraft pulps. Pulps obta ined are better in physical properties as compared to kraft and soda pulps. Thr apparent density of soda-EDA pulps decreases with the increase of EDA in the soda liquor whereas the apparent density of soda-MEA pulps increases with the increase of MEA in soda liquor.
