Pulp from oil palm fronds by chemical processes

Abstract To enhance the use of the abundant biomass generated by the palm oil industry in Malaysia a study was conducted in view of exploring the papermaking potential of this industrial byproduct. Fiber strands from the frond of oil palm trees were examined relative to their physical and chemical characteristics and their response to chemical pulping such as sulfite, soda-sulfite and soda processes. Morphologically, the frond fibers are comparable to those of hardwood. They contain high content of holocellulose but low in lignin. Chemical pulps of 45–50% yield produced either by soda-sulfite or soda process exhibit acceptable papermaking properties comparable to those of hardwood kraft pulps. The study showed that frond pulp might be used as a reinforcement component in newsprint production using softwood thermomechanical fibers.
