The chemical components of Fargesia edulis were investigated.The results showed that the content in bamboo culms were as follows:the ash for 1.82%,the SiO2 for 0.33%,the hot-water extractive contents for 8.69%,the toluence-alcohol extractive for 3.54%,the holocellulose for 70.38%,and the ligin for 21.51%.According to the standards of pulping raw material,F.edulis is suitable for using as pulping raw material,because of superior holocellulose,and medium or low ligin and extractives,what's more,fewer ash and SiO2.
