| Riassunto: | Currently, there is a great demand for paper and the trees are still used as the main raw material. In a world where everything is constantly changing, why do not we use another option? Many industrial wastes are considered trash. Pineapple is a fruit very valued mainly for its taste, but also has other attributes, such that it helps to eliminate toxins and fat, and boosts metabolism, among other benefits. However, what we consider important is not the pulp but the crown, which is commonly known as bud. In the process of pineapple harvest, the bud is discarded. This agro product is the raw material that was used in the development of ecopaper, through a process that was adjusted for paper manufacturing. These adjustments were needed due to the fact that wood and pineapple bud are very different. However the concept is the same: to take the cellulose from the plant to prepare the paper. In this work, we evaluated the use of pineapple crowns obtained from harvesting, for the manufacture of cellulose pulp for paper, in order to reduce wood consumption and contribute to reduce imports of pulp and paper in the country. |
