Eco-Friendly Pulp Extraction for Paper Production Using Groundnut Shells
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: This study presents a sustainable approach to paper production by utilizing groundnut shells, an agricultural residue, as a raw material. Through a modified Kraft process, cellulose was extracted effectively, achieving a recovery rate of 76.18%. The resulting pulp demonstrated properties similar to those derived from traditional hardwood and bamboo sources, validating groundnut shells as a viable alternative. This research highlights the potential of agricultural waste in promoting cost-effective and eco-friendly paper manufacturing.
