Research was carried out on production of the pulp of newsprint grade from giant leucaena by CTMP process using NaOH and Na
2SO
3 as pre-treatment chemicals. The optimum amounts of the chemicals were determined by measuring the qualities of pulp and the required refining energy. The results are as follows :
(1) The increasing amount of NaOH in the constant concentration of Na
2SO
3 (ca. 3.5 % on chip) markedly improved the strength of pulp sheet and reduced the required refining energy, but lowered the brightness. On the other hand increasing amount of Na
2SO
3 in the presence of NaOH (ca. 1.6 % on chip) required the slightly increased refining energy and improved the strength and brightness of the pulp, especially in the range of small addition amount of Na
2SO
3. The optimum addition amount for NaOH and NaNa
2SO
3 were found to be 1.62.0 % and 0.81.0%, respectively.
(2) The CTMP pre-treated with the optimum amounts of chemicals satisfied the JIS (Japanese Industrial Standard) specification except the brightness and the opacity. The CTMP was required to be bleached with 2 % H
2O
2 in order to attain to the brightness level of 50 point.
(3) The amount of COD discharged from this CTMP process using the optimum amounts of chemicals was about 39 Kg/o. d. T. pulp.
