Robinia pseudoacacia

) and silver maple (Acer saccharinum) with emphasis being placed on fiber yield. Black locust had longer fibers, a higher Seifert cellulose content, and a lower lignin content compared to the maple. The results were higher strength and bleached pulp yield for the black locust. The final yields were 49.5% for black locust and 47.7% for maple. These values are significantly higher than the 40–42% that is normally obtained for bleached softwood kraft pulps.
