Chemical Pulps and Writing and Printing Papers from Sabai Grass (<I>Eulaliopsis binata</I> Retz.)

Abstract

Laboratory experiments on the production of chemical pulps by the soda and sulphate processes from sabai grass (Eulaliopsis binata Retz.) are described. Results of experiments on the bleaching of sabai grass pulp are also included. Six pilot-plant trials on the preparation of writing and printing papers from this grass are described. Three samples of printing papers made from sabai grass are appended to this publication.
