Variations in fiber length and some pulp chemical properties of Leucaena varieties

The study confirms the feasibility of the MD-organocell pulping process for Leucaena varieties. MD-organocell pulping provides an efficient delignification. In this process, the operation temperature, among studied, has a positive effect pulp measured properties. Large amounts of lignin from 83.24 to 95.05% of the initial content are removed during the pulping process, depending on the Leucaena variety.
