Pengaruh Tingkat Konsentrasi Naoh Terhadap Karakteristik Pulp Dari Bambu Hias (Bambusa Glaucophylla)
ABSTRACT
The pulp and paper industry contributes to 20% of deforestation in Indonesia, leading to greenhouse gas emissions and highlighting the need for non-wood raw materials. Bamboo, a fast-renewable resource with rapid growth and regenerative abilities, presents an attractive alternative. Among bamboo species, Bambusa glaucophylla is considered a promising material due to its high cellulose content and abundant availability. This study aims to discover the characteristics of pulp produced from ornamental bamboo (Bambusa glaucophylla) by analyzing the effect of NaOH concentration during the soda pulping process. The pulping process was conducted using NaOH concentrations of 13%, 18%, and 23% at a cooking temperature of 170°C for 2 hours. Analyses included the chemical composition of raw materials, fiber morphology, pulp yield, lignin content, kappa number, crystallinity index, and functional group analysis. The results indicated that the 23% NaOH treatment produced the highest pulp yield (42,3%) with low lignin content (3,29%) and a low kappa number (34,88), which demonstrates efficiency in the delignification process. In contrast, the 18% NaOH concentration was most effective in preserving the pulp's crystallinity index at 14,23%, without causing excessive degradation of cellulose.
