This research examines the pulping and bleaching processes of Trema orientalis, a fast-growing native species in Bangladesh suitable for paper production. Various cooking techniques such as soda, alkaline-sulfite-AQ, and formic acid are evaluated for their efficacy in pulp yield and quality. Prebleaching methods like oxygen and xylanase treatments impact delignification and improve paper strength properties. The ASAM process demonstrates superior results in pulp yield and brightness. This study highlights the potential of Trema orientalis for sustainable fiber sourcing in the Bangladesh pulp and paper sector.

Lay-out of the presentation • Introduction • Pulping of T. orientalis in different processes • Pre-bleaching of T. orientalis pulp in different processes • ECF and TCF bleaching • Conclusions
Present scenario of Pulp and Paper Mill in Bangladesh Introduction } 26 paper mills based on recycled and imported pulp
Allocated Forestland for KPM: 51,000 ha Allocated Forestland for SPPM: 24,000 ha Forestland in Bangladesh: 10.2 % Population density: 1079/ Km2 It is almost impossible to increase forestland for industry. So we have to increase fiber yield using existing allocated forestland.
The most potential fast growing species in the environment of Bangladesh • Exotic species-Raintree(Samanea saman), Acacia spp., Eucalyptus spp. • Native species- Gmelina arborea, A species named Trema orientalis has been found which has faster growth than any other species in Bangladesh
Chemical and morphological properties of trema orientalis Trema orientalis can substitute of short length fibrous raw material in pulp mill, which is needed for printing quality paper
Goal • Increased fiber yield for pulping • Increased pulp yield • Better bleaching
Cooking process Pulping • Soda • Soda-anthraquinone (AQ) • Kraft • Alkaline-sulfite-AQ-MeOH (ASAM) • Formic acid • Acetic acid
Evaluation of papermaking properties In papermaking, it is common practice to refine/beat pulp for improving strength properties by mechanical treatment of fiber, which facilitates fiber bonding.
Prebleaching • Oxygen • Xylanase • Peroxyacid

CONCLUSIONS • Trema orientalis is a high biomass producing, shorter length fiber tree for papermaking. • It is a brighter in appearance thus easier to bleach. • The ASAM process produced pulp of higher yield, lower kappa number, higher viscosity and initial brightness. • Prebleaching reduced kappa number by 10-50 % depending on prebleaching treatment. Oxygen prebleaching reduced the highest kappa number. ASAM process showed the best and soda process showed the least results in oxygen treated DED and QPP bleaching. • Enzyme prebleached pulp gave better brightness in subsequent DED bleaching. ASAM process showed the best results in enzyme treated DED bleached pulp among the four processes. • Peroxyformic acid treated pulp responded very well in QPP bleaching. In this process, maximum brightness 83 % was attained in formic acid pulp, but strength properties were inferior. • Soda-AQ pulp responded poor bleachability.
