Now water, adhesives and other assistants are severely wasted because the extractive of Eucalyptus wood is enriched. What's worst, water pollution becomes more serious because of the polluting extractives of Eucalyptus wood. Therefore, based on the single-factor method, the fresh E. camaldulensis shavings were treated in the sorbitic extractor and supersonic wave extractor. The extractives were analyzed by ZETA and SIZER to find out the leaching rule of nano particles from E. camaldulensis wood, hence to obtain the way to lower the negative effect of the extractives. The results were following as: (1) the regression curve showed that the extraction mass increases when the extracting time extends in the sorbitic extractor; (2) diameters of leached nano particles distribute from 37.8 to 106 nm by volume evaluating indicator, and 28.2 to 91.3 nm by number evaluating indicator in the sorbitic extractor. The particles with diameters of 4150~5560 nm, 1110~6440 nm and 4150~5560 nm are too few to test, and their volume are only 0.3%, 2.6% and 0.3% respectively, however, they can bring barrier of wood extractives on wood permeability and obstructive action of wood turpentine on pulping; (3) the volume of the particles with diameter of 28.2~78.8 nm was 80.1%, the number of the particles with diameter of 24.4~50.7 nm was 89.0%, and the volume of 190~396 nm particles is 15.2%, but its number was very less. Therefore, not only extraction mass is increased but also the grouping number of leached nano particles from E. camaldulensis is lowered in supersonic wave extractor.
