摘要

This study focuses on using agricultural straw—specifically sugarcane bagasse—as the raw material and employs single-factor optimization and response surface modeling strategies to develop a low-temperature NACO pulping process. A mathematical prediction model was constructed to explore the leaching patterns of chemical components in sugarcane bagasse, reveal the reaction mechanism of selective lignin removal through the new oxygen-alkali synergistic approach, and elucidate the green pulping mechanism of the low-temperature NACO method. The research findings indicate that at a temperature as low as 114.3 °C and a Na2CO3/ NaOH mass ratio of 1.86, the paper pulp exhibits optimal performance, with a freeness yield of 52.83%, a viscosity of 675.77 ml/g, a whiteness of 40.95% ISO, and a kappa number of 19.85. At this condition, only 43.96% of the silicon element enters the black liquor. Response surface variance analysis shows that the studied variables have statistically significant effects on different response levels, with all correlation coefficients (R2) greater than 0.93, indicating that the model has good predictive capability for the low-temperature NACO pulping process. Finally, the paper produced from the pulp under the optimal conditions exhibits excellent physical properties, with a tear index of 4.9 kPa·m2·g⁻1, burst index of 3.8 mN·m2·g⁻1, tensile index of 70.9 N·m·g⁻1, and ring crush index of 11.6 N·m·g⁻1, which are 1.9, 1.8, 1.6, and 2.3 times, respectively, compared to the performance of paper made by traditional oxygen-alkali chemical pulping methods.
