Pulping of whole jute plant was done at 170 C in soda-HMTA and soda-NB processes. The influencing factors in these pulping processes were cooking time 1-4 hours, 0.05- 0.5% HMTA and 1-10% (on o.d. WJP) for soda-HMTA and soda-NB process respectively. The alkali concentration, material to liquor ratio were kept contant in both processes. The delignification rate was enhanced by the addition of 2% of nitrobenzene after that the delignification rate was retarded with the increase of nitrobenzene percentage in soda-NB process and in soda-HMTA process, the rate was increased with the addition of HMTA. The physico-mechanical characteristics in soda-NB process were more improved than the soda and kraft process and soda-HMTA process showed higher properties than the soda and almost similar to kraft process.
