Abstract
A method for re-claiming fibers from peanut shells is disclosed wherein the shells are first flattened, the flattened shells are milled to produce a fraction containing fibers and a residue fraction and then the fiber fraction is separated from the residue. The fibers obtained are relatively long staple length fibers and can be used as an absorptive medium, in the form of continuous webs and the like.
