Chemical Composition of Straw as an Alternative Material to Wood Raw Material in Fibre Isolation

Wood is still the most widely used raw material for pulp and paper production in the world. However, due to the necessity to supply the paper industry with raw materials used in the extraction of cellulose fibres and the overexploitation of forests, new sources of primary pulp fibres had to be ident...
