Mild potassium hydroxide pulping of straw
This research focused on the pre-extraction of rice and wheat straws by potassium hydroxide (KOH) at 90 °C prior to alkaline pulping to remove silica and some of the lignin and hemicelluloses. Pre-extraction removed 76 and 73% lignin, 50.5 and 26.8% pentosans and 81 and 87% silica from the rice and...
