Abstract
An orthogonal experimental design was employed to study the effects of the bath ratio, time, and alkali dosage of alkali treatment on the chemical composition, fineness, average length, and staple rate of hemp fiber. Through normalization and average weight distribution of multiple indices, the quality of hemp fiber was quantified. Results of range analysis showed that the optimum quality of hemp fiber can be achieved under the following conditions: alkali treatment bath ratio, 1:10; time, 5 h; alkali dosage, 10 g/L; and length of hemp fiber, 16 mm to 29 mm. The reliability and repeatability of the best experimental conditions were further confirmed.
