Water Prehydrolysis of Moso Bamboo Dissolving Pulp

The chemical comcomposition and water prehydrolysis of moso bamboo were studied to prepare high grade dissolving pulp. The results indicated that the moso bamboo was an appropriate none-wood material for great dissolving pulp goten as its high cellulose content. By single factor method, the optimum prehydrolysis conditions which were 150°C, 120minutes and 1:8 of liquor-to-wood tatio, were obtained. Based on the optimum conditions, the yield was 90.35%, and the retention rate of cellulose, pentosan, acid accumulator insoluble lignin, and ash were respectively 96.30%, 88.22%, 88.13%, and 11.71%.
