Abstract

The suitability of wood and noon-wood species for using in pulp and paper industry can be predicted by their morphological and chemical characteristics. In these research morphological and chemical properties of four spices of Ulmacea family, Ulmus glabrar, Ulmus compestris, Zelkova carpinifolia and Celtis australis have been compared. From each species three cross section, 5 cm thickness has been selected. Wood slivers of tree zones: near to pith, middle part and near to bark wood have been macerated in mixture of acetic acid and hydrogen peroxide at 60°C for 48 hours. Biometric coefficients of fibers in three zone and four species have been measured and analyzed by factorial, complete randomized block design. Result showed that, Zelkova carpinifolia has least lignin, ash and extractives and highest cellulose. The fibers of, Zelkova carpinifoliahas has highest Slenderness ratio, Runkel ratio and hence in Ulmacea family is most suitable species for paper industry. Fiber length, wall thickness in near to bark zone in comparison to near to pith was higher significantly. Therefore it is predicted that the mechanical properties of pulp of this three zones are different
