Pulping and Papermaking of Nonwood Plant Fibers 1st Edition

Pulping and Papermaking of Nonwood Plant Fibers — 1st Edition by Z.M.A. Ainun, S.M. Sapuan, and R.A. Ilyas

Unlock the future of sustainable fiber technology with this authoritative guide to pulping and papermaking from nonwood plant sources. Perfect for engineers, researchers, industrial professionals, and advanced students, this 1st edition delivers clear, practical insight into turning abundant agricultural residues and fast-growing plants into high-quality pulp and paper.

Inside, you’ll find in-depth coverage of feedstock selection (bamboo, bagasse, kenaf, straw, jute and other tropical and subtropical fibers), pulping techniques (chemical, mechanical, semi-chemical, and enzymatic), fiber characterization, process optimization, and papermaking performance. Detailed discussions on environmental impacts, cost-efficiency, and scaling to industrial production make this an essential resource for regions prioritizing sustainable materials — especially Asia, Africa, and Latin America.

Written by leading experts Z.M.A. Ainun, S.M. Sapuan, and R.A. Ilyas, the book balances rigorous research with real-world applications. Expect clear diagrams, case studies, and best-practice recommendations that help practitioners reduce waste, improve paper strength and brightness, and implement greener production strategies.

Whether you’re developing a rural pulp mill, advising policy on circular bioeconomies, or expanding academic curricula in sustainable materials, this title equips you with the technical depth and practical guidance required to succeed.
