Abstract: The fiber morphology and chemical composition of five kinds of eucalyptus(Eucalyptus urophylla×E.grandis,E.grandis×E.urophylla,E.urophylla,E.globules,E.tereticonis) wood chips were analyzed. Their properties of chemi-mechanical (P-RC APMP) pulping by preconditioning refiner and chemical alkaline peroxide were studied. The results showed that the holocellulose contents of the five different eucalyptus woods were between 77.96 %-81.36 %, in which E.tereticonis had the highest and E.grandis×E.urophylla the lowest. The lignin contents of these woods ranged from 23.18 %-26.62 %, in which E.urophylla had the highest and E.globules the lowest. Besides, there was very small difference in the fiber average length of the woods and it was between 755 and 785μm. Then five different eucalyptus wood chips were processed by P-RC APMP under the condition of impregnating with H2O2 5.0 % and NaOH 4.5%. As a result, E.tereticonis showed the highest pulp yield up to 86.7 %, while the pulp yield of E.grandis×E.urophylla was the lowest, 84.2 %. In addition, with the same Canadian Freeness Standard, E.globules pulp exhibited the best strength and optical properties and the lowest pulping power consumption. On the contrast, E.grandis×E.urophylla pulp showed the worst strength and optical properties, and the highest pulping power consumption.
