This invention belongs to the field of comprehensive utilization of
biomass resources and pulping and
papermaking technology, and relates to a pulping method based on coconut shell raw materials and its application in the production of corrugated packaging materials. The method includes:
processing coconut shell raw materials through a twin-screw
extrusion and kneading process to obtain a mixture; obtaining coconut
fiber components through multi-stage sieving; subjecting the coconut fibers to hot water or alkaline cooking;
grinding with a high-consistency
disc mill or defragmenting with a
fiber delamination machine, and sieving to obtain coconut pulp. The obtained coconut pulp is mixed with recycled
fiber pulp, chemical additives are added, and the mixture is then used to produce corrugated base paper or boxboard. This invention achieves efficient and clean separation of coconut shell fibers through a combination of twin-screw
extrusion and kneading + pre-
hydrolysis / alkaline cooking + high-consistency refining /
defragmentation processes, resulting in high pulp yield, good
fiber morphology, and a maximum ring crush index of 8.3 N·m / g and a maximum
bursting index of 3.4 kPa·m. 2 / g, opening up a new source of low-cost, renewable fiber raw materials for the
pulp and paper industry.
