Abstract

In this study, the chemical composition of each agrowaste sample was analysed for cellulose, lignin, ash, and moisture content. Three agrowaste samples—corn husk, pineapple crown, and plantain stalk—were sun-dried and chipped for easier digestion. The effect of the catalyst, H₂SO₄, was assessed by pulping 10g of each sample with 0%, 0.5%, 1%, and 1.5% H₂SO₄. At the end of the experiment, three types of paper were produced from the different agrowaste samples; each of them demonstrates good brightness. The mechanical properties of the pulp were measured, yielding the following results: for corn husks (grammage: 356.25 g/m², thickness: 0.35 mm, tensile strength: 25.675 kN/m², tear index: 2.88 Nm²/g, modulus of elasticity: 151.03 kN/m², and elongation at break: 3.4mm), for pineapple crown (grammage: 231.25 g/m², thickness: 0.13 mm, tensile strength: 21.05 kN/m², tear index: 3.64 Nm²/g, modulus of elasticity: 155.93 kN/m², elongation at break: 2.2 mm), and for plantain stalk (grammage: 325.25 g/m², thickness: 0.07 mm, tensile strength: 23.625 kN/m², tear index: 2.91 Nm²/g, modulus of elasticity: 393.75 kN/m², and elongation at break: 1.20 mm). In summary, Agrowastes present a feasible alternative to wood for papermaking. The Acetosolv pulping method yields a higher amount of pulp while minimizing environmental impact.
