"donax arundo pulp, paper products and particle board". composite and pulp panels, and pulp paper products, are produced from donax arundo. In the manufacture of composite panels, donax arundo is comminuted (20) to a suitable size, combined with a binder (40, 50) and consolidated (80) into panels that meet the standards for the construction and / or supply of grade panels. donax arundo particles can be combined with wood particles to produce a mixed source that can be used in the preparation of composite panels. The comminuted arundax is treated in conventional pulping processes to produce a high tensile strength pulp that can be used in papermaking. the pulp is lighter in color than wood pulp and thus uses less bleach chemicals to achieve a desired whiteness. Pulp can be combined with wood pulp to produce various products. |
