A filtration membrane comprising cellulose fibres, the membrane having a pore size distribution such that the modal pore diameter is between 10 nm and 25 nm and/or wherein less than 5% of the pore volume comprises pores of greater than 40 nm and having a total porosity greater than 30%.

A rolling paper is formed according to a modified conventional paper-making process. The end product is infused with cannabinoids from an oil extract from the cannabis plant. Since paper-making is highly water intensive and the cannabinoid containing cannabis extract is an oil that is ordinarily immiscible in the water, an emulsifier is used to allow the cannabinoids to evenly disperse in the making of the paper. The addition of the cannabinoids and the emulsifier is done prior to the drying of the paper. Preferably, the emulsifier and cannabinoids are added during the sizing step of the paper-making. Preferably the emulsifier is a starch-like carbohydrate, a modified starch, more preferably hydroxy-propyl-methyl-cellulose. The cannabinoid containing cannabis extract can be added at the pulping, web-forming step and/or preferably at the sizing step of paper-making.

A wrapping material is disclosed that contains from about 10% to about 60% of a tobacco material. The tobacco material has a relatively large particle size. For instance, the tobacco material may have a particle size distribution such that greater than 80% of the tobacco particles and fibers have a greatest dimension of greater than about 0.025 inches. The tobacco material is combined with bleached pulp fibers and a filler and formed into a web using a papermaking process. The wrapping material has a distinct natural appearance and a less papery taste in relation to conventional cigarette papers. The wrapping material has a brighter, whiter look than conventional reconstituted tobacco wrappers and produces a smoother smoke with better ash appearance.

A method of manufacturing pulp using corn stalks may include cutting the corn stalks into pieces having a length of 10 to 60 mm, separating and discharging the cut corn stalks into rind and pith using a separation unit while crushing the cut corn stalks, pretreating the corn stalks by filtering the rind and pith of the corn stalks and flakes of the rind, removing a portion of hemicellulose of the rind, and cooking the rind from which the portion of hemicellulose has been removed, using caustic soda and sodium carbonate.
