Effect of beating on recycled properties of unbleached eucalyptus cellulose fiber

► Effects of beating on recycled properties of eucalyptus cellulose fiber were studied. ► The content of fines became stable when the beating time was more than 25 min. ► WRV increased with an increase in beating degree. ► Crystallinity of cellulose increased, and then decreased with an increase in beating degree. ► Beating can improve the structure of pore of recycled cellulose fiber.
