Abstract In recent years, environmental problems of irregular wood harvesting and shortages of raw materials made wood and paper Ind. & country to be faced serious crises. And some researchers and industry experts have led to fundamental and long-term solution for supplying raw materials to these industries. This present study aimed to determine the optimum conditions of pulping and bleaching for several hardwood forest species (as a separate cooking & Combining with 40% popular, 15% beech and hornbeam 45%) and paper evaluation. After preparing CMP in accordance with the terms of an 85% efficiency , Different cooking times (25-60 minutes, temperature of 170 °C, the ratio of L TO W & 7 TO 1 and Making hand sheet with standard 60 gram per square meter, Optical and mechanical properties of paper was evaluated. The results showed that, A species that was used in cooking, Poplar were better in terms of total properties with mechanical and optical properties. Also in Bleaching stage, the tensile strength index is decreased & Burst and tear strength index is improved. The maximum brightness is related to poplar species with mixing and without species and after bleaching the beech is the lowest ones. In both methods the rate of opacity and yellowness is decreased.

The objective of this study was determination of the best method of bleaching including refining and bleaching (RB) or bleaching and then refining (BR) on chemical mechanical pulp (CMP) for the production of newsprint. Wood raw material consists of mixed wood forest species was chipped and air dried to calculate the moisture content. Wood composition percentages for CMP pulping was 40% poplar, 30% maple, 7.5% oak, 7.5% alder, 7.5% willow, and 7.5% Persimmon. In order to remove heavy metal ions of pulp, the chelating was carried out with DTPA. TCF Bleaching carried out by 3% H2O2 and 2.5% NaOH based on dry weight of pulp with initial brightness of 44.6% ISO. Pulp bleaching was done in two stages, before and after the refining by laboratory PFI mill beater. Finally, handsheets were made from the RB and BR treated pulps and the sheet properties were evaluated according to TAPPI test methods. The results showed that BR treatment increased tensile, burst, tear indices, brightness, scattering coefficient, and density, but reduced yellowing, opacity, and light absorption coefficient. The results confirmed the conventional method of CMP pulp treatment (BR) in MWPI.

Importing of wood is a solution to supplying raw material in the Iranian paper industry because of wood shortage. Therefore, the effect of mixing the imported aspen roundwood with the two hardwood native forest species including hornbeam and beech were perused on the optical and mechanical properties of CMP pulp. Cooking constant conditions consist of maximum temperature were 170 °C with a liquor-to-wood ratio (L/W) of 7, and chemical content of 20% based on the oven-dry weight of the wood chips. CMP pulps were prepared at different cooking times of 30 to 120 minutes using 20, 30, 40, 60, and 100% aspen wood in combination with the two species to achieve the yield of nearly 85%. Standard laboratory handsheets were made after pulp refining by 300 ml CSF, and then the strengths and optical properties were measured. Statistical analysis of result showed that there were significant differences among of the properties of CMP pulps by increasing the aspen wood ratio. All the properties have been improved except opacity paper. The required strength of newsprint and printing/writing paper made in Mazandaran wood and paper industries (MWPI) could be achieved by mixing of 20 and 30% imported aspen wood to the native species used in currently, respectively.
