Design of Batch Reactors for Pulping of Plantain Pseudostem
Abstract: Plantain pseudostem has little application in Africa and constitute major domestic waste and often problematic to manage. It however contains a high content of lignocellulose that can be used for production of pulp. With the geometric decline of feedstock for pulp production due to dwindling wood resources, plantain pseudostem becomes a ready alternative. This study developed design models for batch reactor for the plantain pulping process under isothermal, non-isothermal and …
