ABSTRACT
In Indonesia, pulp industry has increased
in the last two decades. In 1987, the pulp production capacity was only 0.5
million tons and increased to 6.5 million ton in 2007. Until now, 70% of pulp`s
raw material came from natural forest. Wood as pulp`s raw material need to be
reduced due to environmental concern and its availability continue to decline. Bagasse and cornstalk were
lignoselulose which have potential as an alternative resource for pulp. Chemimechanical
process were pulpmaking process that combining chemical and mechanical process.
This research was studied the physical properties of pulp with liquid to solid
ratio (8/1, 10/1, and 12/1) and cooking time (2, 3, and 4 hours). The result
shows that bagasse pulp have yield of 58.17% - 61.04%, lignin 18.27% - 21.34%. Furthermore,
cornstalk pulp have yield of 53.43% - 58.50%, and lignin 11.35% - 13.91%. Yield
pulp from bagasse and cornstalk has been achieved requirement for chemimechanical
pulp.
