Investigations were carried, out on the Kraft Pulping of Albizzia
moluccana , a fast growing exotic wood species • In the pulping process
the cooking time was of 3 hours’ duration – 1 hour to raise the temperature
to 17O°C and 2 hours at that temperature . Pulp yield of 49 38$ was
obtained at the optimum condition . The properties indicate that high
quality writing, printing and wrapping paper can be manufactured from this
pulp at low chemicals and bleachability
