Chemical Characteristics and Application for Kraft Pulp of Bed Log Wastes

표고골목의 화학적 특성과 펄프재로서의 이용방안

This research studied the utilization of the bed log wastes as a papermaking grade pulp. Five different bed log samples from shiitake mushroom (Lentinus edodes (Berk.) Sing) cultivation were collected by the cultivating periods of 1 to 5 years. The wood chemical composition and the characteristics of kraft pulping of each sample were investigated. The results of chemical composition showed that the rate of carbohydrate (glucose and xylose) content in sapwood was decreased as the cultivation period was increased. In heartwood, there was no significant difference. The screening yield of non-cultivated bed log from kraft pulping was higher than that of cultivated one, but the reject of cultivated one, especially for 5 year-cultivated, was lower than non-cultivated bed log. The fiber length and width was continuously decreased as the cultivation period was increased. Therefore, the freeness of the pulp from the cultivated bed log was sharply decreased comparing to non-cultivated due to the fiber cutting and the increased fine content. The dry strengths were increased according to the increasing addition level of bed log kraft pulp to KOCC and non-cultivated wood pulp. From the overall results, the pulp from 5 years cultivated bed log can be reasonably used if it is mixed with long fiber pulp for advantages such as reducing beating time.

연구는 폐표고목을 제지용 원료로 활용하기 위한 기초자료로 1년부터 5년 동안 재배한 표고골목을 이용하여 목재 성분 조성과 크라프트 펄프화 특성을 평가하였다. 그 결과 화학조성의 경우 변재에서는 재배기간이 증가함에 따라 글루코스와 자일로스의 감소가 크게 나타났으나 심재부에서는 큰 차이가 나타나지 않았으며 정선수율과 리젝트 함량 모두 재배기간이 증가함에 따라 감소하였다. 펄프 특성에서도 재배기간 증가에 따라 섬유장과 폭, 여수도는 감소하였으며 폐표고골목 크라프트 펄프를 국산 폐골판지에 첨가 시 종이의 건조 강도가 향상되었다. 이상의 결과로 폐표고목 크라프트 펄프를 다른 장섬유 펄프와 혼합사용 시 강도 향상과 고해 에너지 감소를 기대할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
