The 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…mehr

The 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.
