The aim of this work was to study the influence of operational variables in the orange tree pruning kraft pulping, such
as temperature (155-185 ºC), processing time (40-90 min) and active alkali concentration (10-16%) at constant values
of liquid solid ratio, anthraquinone and sulfidity concentration of 8:1, 1% and 20%, respectively, on the pulp yield,
lignin content, Kappa number and viscosity of the pulps and the tensile index, burst index, tear index and brightness of
the paper sheets. The experimental data obtained were used to estimate the parameters or constants in the equation for
the neural fuzzy model. The predictions for the yield, Kappa number, lignin content, viscosity, tensile index, burst
index, tear index and brightness differ by less than 9, 8, 21, 14, 17, 21, 9, and 6% from their respective experimental
values.
