Abstract
Totally chlorine free (TCF) and elemental chlorine free (ECF) single and multistage sequences were used to bleach whole stem kenaf pulp. The results indicated that in contrast to unbleached kraft wood pulps, kraft kenaf pulps can be easily bleached to a brightness of 91.4% using a four-stage TCF [Q 1 (PO)Q 2 P] bleaching sequence. The ECF bleaching pulps had slightly higher selectivity and yield than those of the TCF bleached pulps. The strength properties of the TCF [Q 1 (PO)Q 2 P] and ECF (D 1 ED 2 EP) bleached pulps were comparable, with the exception of tear index and tensile index, which were slightly higher and lower for TCF pulps, respectively.
