Publication number: 20080078516Abstract: Composite panels and pulp, and paper products of the pulp, are produced from Arundo donax. In the fabrication of the composite panels, Arundo donax is comminuted to a suitable size, combined with a binder, and consolidated into panels that meet standards for construction and/or furniture grade panels. The Arundo donax particulates may be combined with wood particulates to produce a mixed furnish that can be used in the preparation of composite panels. Comminuted Arundo donax is treated, in conventional pulping processes, to produce a high tensile strength pulp that can be used in the production of paper. The pulp has a lighter color than wood pulp, and thereby uses less bleaching chemicals to achieve a desired whiteness. The pulp can be combined with wood pulp to produce a variety of products.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 8, 2007Publication date: April 3, 2008Applicants: NILE FIBER PULP & PAPER, INC., WASHINGTON STATE UNIVERSITY RESEARCH FOUNDATIONInventors: Ernett Altheimer, Michael Wolcott
