Pengaruh Konsentrasi Naoh, Temperatur Pemasakan, Dan Lama Pemasakan Pada Pembuatan Pulp Dari Batang Rami Dengan Proses Soda
ABSTRACT
Research has been conducted to study the effect of NaOH concentration, cooking temperature and
cooking time on the production of pulp from Rami stalk using soda process. The use of Rami as raw material
under study was because availability of wood as raw material for pulp is getting lesser by time, whilst Rami
stalk may be a good substitute for it. Large stock of NaOH available in the market is the cause of the use of
this chemical for the study. The range of variables studied were : NaOH concentrations at 5-15%, cooking
temperatures of 100-120oC, and cooking time of 60-180 minutes. Analyses of the product was done for
percent yield of the pulp produced, concentration of cellulose in the pulp, and lignin content in the pulp.
Results show that in the range of values studied, the three variables, NaOH concentration, temperature of
cooking and cooking time, did not give any significant effect on the amount of pulp produced and the
concentration of cellulose in the pulp, whilst they give proportional effect on the lignin content in the pulp.
Best condition with smallest lignin concentration of 6.83%, was found at NaOH concentrations of 5%,
cooking temperature of 105oC, and cooking time of 60 minutes.

1) Penelitian dilanjutkan dengan tahapan
proses selanjutnya seperti bleaching
dan pencetakan lembaran kertas.
2) Pulp yang dihasilkan diuji kualitasnya
berdasarkan karakteristik pulp lainnya
