{"product_id":"banana-paper-manufacturing-von-francis-alphonse","title":"Banana paper manufacturing","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe world consumption of paper has not stopped increasing despite the development of NTICs. The search for new raw materials for paper manufacture is therefore becoming a matter of great international concern in the face of the decline in the world's forests. The present study establishes the ability of 4 banana varieties to provide acceptable quality fiber for paper making and derived products. It was found that the yield of banana fiber (2-3%) is low compared to that found in Japan (10%), that the extraction technology used in Haiti is not very efficient, and that the specific weight of forest species (over 300 kg\/m3) far exceeds that of banana fiber (11-15.8 kg\/m3). It was further noted that the musk variety gives the best fiber yield (3%), while the highest possible yield per hectare (2641 Kg) is obtained with the exotic variety Irfa-909. Banana fibers contain less cellulose (24 to 35%) than wood (40 to 52%). The Irfa-909 and Musquée varieties with the highest lignin content (39.76 and 36.82) have a higher resistance to stretching.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9786205874363\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePerformance of 4 varieties compared\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9786205874363","offer_id":46479620505925,"sku":"9786205874363","price":26.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/1ec65b43-993c-4815-a02d-da0c62df8b02.jpg?v=1758516156","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/en\/products\/banana-paper-manufacturing-von-francis-alphonse","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
