Estudo da viabilidade de produção de papel artesanal a partir da casca da batata e papelão

Abstract

This work had like goal the viability of the production of craft paper from the potato peel and cardboard box. For this were produced many concentrations of craft paper (100%, 80%, 50% and 30% of potato peel fiber). After this, the paper was subject to dry in three differents methods. Being in a conventional stove, stove with forced air circulation and spouted bed for 75 minutes and velocity of 7,8m / s, measured with the aid of a anemometer. The tests performed allowed to identify the best craft paper is 50% and 50% cardboard box and potato peel fiber that presented qualities for the manufacture of decorative boxes, among others. The best drying methods were the stove with forced air circulation and spouted bed. Both experiments show a constant mass during 60 minutes.
