| Summary, etc. |
This study investigates the potential of groundnut shells as an eco-friendly raw material for<br/>kraft paper production. The primary objectives were to convert groundnut shells into pulp<br/>through chemical pulping, produce kraft paper, evaluate its physical and mechanical<br/>properties, and assess its acceptability based on functionality, workability, economy,<br/>aesthetics, and marketability. Groundnut shells were collected, washed, dried, and<br/>powdered. Chemical pulping was refined using sodium hydroxide and sodium sulfide.<br/>Paper sheets were formed using a 180-mesh silkscreen frame and dried at room<br/>temperature. The final products were evaluated at the Adamson University Technology<br/>Research and Development Center (AUTRDC) for tensile strength, tear resistance, and<br/>water absorption. Results indicated a tensile strength of 6.84 N/20 mm, a tear strength of<br/><br/>0.36 N/40 mm, and water absorption of 20.87%, reflecting moderate performance for non-<br/>waterproof applications such as arts and crafts. Among the various binding agents tested,<br/><br/>only carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) effectively bonded the pulp fibers, with 5.0 grams<br/>yielding optimal results. An acceptability survey conducted among students, faculty, and<br/>printing professionals produced a mean rating of 4.52, placing the product in the “highest<br/>acceptable” category. The findings affirm the viability of groundnut shells as a sustainable<br/>alternative to conventional wood-based kraft paper, contributing to materials innovation<br/>and waste valorization in the printing and packaging sectors. |
