Taiwania (Taiwania cryptomerioides) and eucalyptus (Eucalyptus grandis) chips were pulped with either a 50% aqueous ethanol solution or a 50% alkline aqueous methanol solution containing l.5N NaOH. The ethanol pulping was carried out at the maximum temperature of 180°C for 3 hours, and the alklaine methanol pulping was carried out at the maximum temperature of 150℃ for 2.5 hours. It was found that both methods could be successfully used to pulp eucalyptus but not taiwania. The alkaline methanol pulping showed a much better selectivity in delignification than the ethanol pulping did, resulting in a higher pulp yield and lower residual lignin content in the alkaline methanol pulp. The alkline methanol eucalyptus pulp was far superior than the ethanol eucalyptus pulp. The pulp yield of alkaline methanol eucalyptus pulp exceeded that of conventional kraft pulp by 8% while had stregth properties, especially tear strength, equivalent to those of the conventional kraft pulp of the same species.
