Abstract

Cotton stalk bark consists of cellulose and non-cellulose substances. The non-cellulose includes hemicelluloses, pectin, lignin, and wax. In this paper, alkali- treatment was used to remove non-cellulose substance, and get and bleach cotton-straw bark cellulose fiber. Through orthogonal experimental, it showed that the condition of degumming was NaOH at 100°C for 30 min. The morphology of the cellulose fiber was observed by using JSM5800 scanning electronic microscopy and crystallinity was calculated.
