LIGNO CELLULOSIC ORGANIC WASTE AS A SOURCE OF RAW MATERIAL FOR HANDMADE PAPER MAKING

摘要

The present invention relates to utilization of ligno cellulosic organic material to provide a cost effective process for preparation of ligno-cellulosic raw material for manufacturing of handmade products while addressing the problem of solid waste disposal and issue related to global warming in right perspective. The process comprises treatment of ligno-cellulosic waste with an enzyme followed by a chemical treatment with an alkali and a sulfite. The digested pulp after chemical treatment is defibrilated and refined to produce treated pulp. The process is economic and eco-friendly.
