METHOD FOR PROCESSING ANTIBIOTIC BAMBOO

摘要

PURPOSE: A method for processing antibiotic bamboo is developed to enhance antibiotic efficiency of bamboo and to preserve it for a long time and tolerance against crack or scratch in order to accomplish higher quality of bamboo product. CONSTITUTION: A method for processing antibiotic bamboo is based on the use of Chitosan solution at a specific composition. Particularly, The processing method is performed by primarily giving the bamboo into a bleaching solution composed of 10% hydrogen peroxide and 1% NaOH in a mole ratio of 1.5:1-2:1. In a next step, the bleached bamboo is under the neutralization process by washing it with 1% HCl solution. In a third step, the neutralized bamboo is treated with Chitosan composition by dipping the bamboo into 1% Chitosan solution and dried to result in the final product.
