Abstract

The article delves into the potential of banana plant waste as a sustainable alternative for wood in pulp production. It meticulously examines the chemical composition, morphological properties, and anatomical structure of banana stem, leaf, and peduncle. The study compares two pulping processes—soda-anthraquinone and formic acid/peroxyformic acid—and evaluates the papermaking properties of the resulting pulps. Notably, the research highlights the high α-cellulose content and long fiber length of banana wastes, which contribute to superior paper strength. Additionally, the study underscores the challenges posed by high ash content and the presence of parenchyma cells, which affect pulp yield and drainage. The findings suggest that banana wastes can be effectively utilized in small-scale pulp mills, particularly with the formic acid/peroxyformic acid process, offering economic and environmental benefits.
