Abstract

In this research Tension Wood (TW) and Normal Wood (NW) of Poplar were analyzed for pulp production using Kraft pulping process. After preparing samples, Biometric characteristics of the NW and TW fibers were measured and samples were converted to pulp. Pulp hand sheets mechanical and physical properties were measured and results were showed that NW fibers compared to TW fibers had a higher Rankle coefficient and aspect ratio. However the flexibility of NW fibers was better than TW fibers. Based on Results, although TW pulp yield was 13 percent greater than NW pulp yield but kappa number in TW was 45 percent lower than NW. Mechanical and physical properties of hand sheets indicated that the tensile and burst strengths of tension wood were comparatively lower than that of normal wood. Also the papers produced by equally mixture of TW fibers and NW fibers were showed higher tensile and burst strengths. Optical and color analyses of samples were showed an improvement in brightness and whiteness for TW hand sheets compared to NW papers. General speaking results were showed that presence of TW fibers inside pulp had not a significant effect on quality of produced pulp and papers.
