Sugarcane fibre

Sugarcane fibre• Sugarcane is a natural plant fibre, which is

collect from the sugarcane plant.• Mainly sugarcane fiber is called the “bagasse

“

BagasseBagasse is the fibrous material that remains after sugarcane are crushed to exact their juice from sugarcane. It is dry pulp residue left after the extraction of juice from sugarcane

Characteristics of sugarcane fibers

• Crystallinity : between 63 % - 68%• Fibre fineness : according to maturity level.• Moisture absorption : no chance 13% - 18% (no

chance )• Elastic recovery : 50 % - 60%• Torsional rigidity : varies between maturity lavel• Flexural rigidity : 0.015 g/ to 0.032 g/

chemical components of sugarcane fibreComponent Percent

Cellulose 45-55%

Hemicellulose 20-25%

Lignin 18-24%

Ash 1-4%

Waxs <1%

Micro-structure

Morphology Analyses

Fracture surface of unirradiated cement fibre composite with (a) 0% (b) 6% and (c) irradiated cement composite with 6% of SBR content.

Results were also analyzed by varying density of sugarcane fibre with different compositions.

Manufacturing processAt first juice are extract from the

sugarcane

After extraction of juice the bagasse are collected for extraction of fibre

The soft core part pith is removed from the bagasse manually to get outer hard ring

The samples are then taken into hot water treatment

The samples are then dried in the sunlight

Then these samples are in the chemical treatment

After chemicals treatment the fibres are separated

Recycling of Composites

Sugarcane producing areas in

the world

Production in Bangladesh

Bangladesh in sugarcane producing is self sufficient

Rangpur,Rajshshi,Mymensingh,Khulna, jessore, kushtia,faridpur is the

major sugarcane producing area

Uses of sugarcane fibre in textile sector
