Abstract
Paper mulberry (Broussonetia papyrifera) wood and bark may be successfully pulped by Kraft, Soda and Alkaline Peroxide Mechanical Pulping (APMP) processes. Kraft pulp from Paper mulberry whole wood has the superior strength properties compared to the Soda or APMP pulps. However, APMP process gives the higher yield than Soda or Kraft pulps. High yield pulp from Paper mulberry bark may be used for the supplementation to the hardwood or non-wood pulps to improve their tear properties. The present study fully justify the establishment of Paper mulberry plantations on private and government land in the country.
