The use of bagasse
1, fuel alcohol production, converts the cellulose in bagasse into sugar and into alcohol or feed yeast. The bagasse alcohol production technology developed in Brazil in the 1980s is a world leader. Used and patented in over 10 countries, the new technology was used to extract 100 litres of alcohol from 1 tonne of bagasse, increasing the production of sugarcane alcohol from 7,740 to 13,800 litres and doubling the area planted with sugarcane (14.8 billion litres/year) 2003/2004), reducing costs by 40%
2. Sugarcane bagasse is used as feed, mixed with urea or amine (100:2 water, 14kg pressure, heated for 2 hours, when the temperature drops to about 25°C, mixed with yeast and fermented, degassed after fermentation. Dried and crushed into fine powder, can be used as feed.
3, paper making, using bagasse instead of wood to produce paper cup raw paper, fully degradable paper agricultural land film, paper catering equipment, etc.. Among them, the fully degradable paper-based agricultural land film uses 100% bagasse pulp, which can be repeatedly used for paper making and can naturally solve the problem of white pollution. As a new achievement, sugarcane bagasse tableware is highly white and dense, has excellent temperature and oil resistance, is non-toxic and odourless, and can be completely decomposed within three months, with no waste pollution in the manufacturing process, even in less than three months. It is used to produce much lower cost pulp moulded fast food containers
4. Sugarcane bagasse is a dense composite material with a chemical composition similar to wood, making it a suitable raw material for the manufacture of panels. Use bagasse resources to produce high density composites. Due to the low specific gravity of bagasse and the good quality of the fibres, the panels produced have excellent properties such as high strength and light weight. Fire resistance and excellent flame resistance, good machinability and decorative properties, suitable for furniture, construction, vehicles, ships, packaging boxes and other manufacturing industries. The product is highly plastic and can replace various moulds and templates to directly produce various plates and profiles, which has great market value
