| Abstract: | Scarcity of cellulosic fibrous raw materials in India has compelled to search for fast growing and high pulp yielding trees, which can he grown in all types of soils like semi and arid regions. Anatomical, morphological, and chemical studies of L. leucocephala show that It can sustain an adequate supply of raw materials for the pulp and paper industry. With some drawback, like the presence of Ca or Mg oxalates L. leucocephala has porous wood structures, longer fibre than that of other hard woods, high holocellulose and α-cellulose and low lignin content with xylan type hemicellulose. Anatomy, morphology, and proximate chemical analys is of L. leucocephala are directly reflected to good quality and quantity of pulp, shorter cooking cycle and chemical dosing. |
