Abstract: This paper deals with the fiber morphology,beating performance and papermaking performance of tobacco stem (a kind of reconstituted tobacco raw material) after the extraction with alkaline ionic liquid[MMIM]DMP by means of IR and component analysis.The results show that (1) after the extraction with [MMIM]DMP,a small amount of honeycomb structure may occur in the epidermal tissue of tobacco stalk,and the filler among fiber cells decreases significantly,while the porosity increases; (2) as the aromatic substances and lignin in tobacco stems dissolve well in the alkaline ionic liquid,the relative content of cellulose in the raw material remarkably increases; and (3) the tobacco stem after partial delignification is of uniform fiber dispersion,good beating and papermaking performances,high tensile strength (with an increment of 35%) as well as optimized bulk and porosity parameters.

Key words: tobacco stem, fiber morphology, beating performance, papermaking performance, alkaline ionic liquid
