Non-wood dissolving pulp from Hibiscus rosasinensis for sustainable viscose fibre production

Key Points

• This research aims to convert Hibiscus stem waste into high-purity dissolving pulp for producing sustainable viscose fibres.
• Utilized PHK processing to extract dissolving pulp from Hibiscus rosasinensis stems.
• Assessed performance of regenerated cellulose fibres in comparison to wood-derived viscose.
• Conducted analysis of textile properties to evaluate suitability for commercial production.
• Regenerated cellulose fibres exhibit textile properties comparable to those of wood-derived viscose.
• High-purity dissolving pulp successfully produced, indicating the potential for sustainable fibre production.
• Transformation of waste material into valuable resources supports bioeconomy initiatives.
