친수성의 도공층을 갖고 있는 컬러 잉크제트 용지의 특성을 동적주사 흡액측정, 망점의 화상해석 및 도공층 표면을 주사 전자현미경(SEM)으로 관찰하여 검토하였다. 비잉크제트 용지와 도공지에 비하여 잉크제트 용지는 단시간 동안에 현저한 표면 흡액특성을 나타내었지만 그 특성은 제품에 따라 다르게 나타났다. 망점 특성으로부터 평가한 잉크 방울의 흡수시간은 망점의 면적과는 상관관계를 나타내진 않았으나 진원도와는 부의 상관관계를 나타냈다. 즉 빠른흡액특성은 원형의 망점을 형성하는데 유효하였다. 광택 처리제품과 광택처리를 하지 않은 제품을 비교할 경우 광택처리 제품의 진원도가 낮게 나타났는데 이것은 주사전자현미경의 관찰 결과로부터 도공층을 칼렌더 처리할 때 발생하는 할열 때문인 것으로 나타났다.

Image Analyser를 이용하여 종이표면에 존재하는 특정패턴을 조사하여 이 패턴의 유래를 분석 확인하였다. 종이내에 존재하는 패턴을 Image Analyser에 입력하여 2차원 고속 Fourier 변환처리에 의하여 특징을 추출한 후 잡음으로 간주되는 신호를 제거하여 이를 다시 화상으로 변환시켰다. 재구성된 화상의 패턴이 잡음이 아닌 것을 확인한 후, 이 패턴이 초지기상의 어느부분에서 유래되었는가를 조사.분석하였다. 나아가 이를 바탕으로 초지기의 특정부분의 제반조건을 재설정.조정함으로써 종이품질의 향상은 물론 생산성 향상에도 기여하게 되었다.

Alkaline peroxide bleaching of (chemi) mechanical pulp is a very complicated system where various process factors affect the bleaching performance and pulp properties. Traditional on-factor-at a time method is ineffective and costly in finding the optimal bleaching conditions. In this study statistical experimental methods which include three steps. I. e. screening, response surface modeling and optimization, were used to find the conditions for maximal brightness development during one stage alkaline peroxide bleaching of TMP which had an initial brightness of 54.5% Elerpho. The TMP was pretreated with EDTA(0.5% on O. D. pulp. consistency, $30^{\circ}C$ for 60 minutes) and bleached in a 2L Mark V Quantum Reactor at 750rpm, 7.5% of bleaching consistency and with 0.05% magnesium sulfate addition. The ranges of other factors studied were 1~5% hydrogen peroxide on O. D plup, 1~4% sodium hydroxide on O. D pulp and 1~4% sodium silicate on O. D pulp, reaction temperature 50~$90^{\circ}C$ and reaction time 40~180minutes. A models with good predictability was established and the maximal brightness after one stage bleaching was found to be 70% Elerpho at $50^{\circ}C$, 50 minutes 5% hydrogen peroxide on O. D. pulp 3.2~3.4% sodium hydroxide on O. D. pulp 3.2~3.4% sodium hydroxide on O. D pulp and 4% silicate on O. D pulp. However further studies on other pulp properties such as strength and brightness stability shall be carried out in order to find out the optimal bleaching conditions.

The use of genetically cloned xylanase acquired from Bacillus strearthermophillus improves bleachability for oak kraft pulps. Combination of xylanase(X). oxygen(O), ozone(Z). peroxide(P), alkaline extraction(Eo. Eop), and chlorination(C/D, D) have been tested in a variety of bleaching sequences. The effectiveness of xylanase pre-treatment(XO) and post-treatment(OX) in oxygen bleaching is mainly compared. With xylanase treatment the brightness increase by 1.5-2.1% ISO in OZEP, OZEoP, OZEopP and OPZP sequences. There is only numerically difference of brightness gains between OX and XO sequences. With xylanase treatment chemical requirements for bleaching decrease by 42.6-48.6% in OC/DEoD sequence and 47.9-54.7% as active chlorine in OC/DEopD sequence at the same brightness. the reduction of bleaching chemicals is higher in XO sequence than those in OX sequence. Following xylanase treatment the viscosity increases from 11.7-12.0 mPa·s to 12.4-13.5 mPa·s and the brightness stability is considerably improved however the difference of effectiveness between XO and OX sequence is not present. Compared to tensile index vs tear index, the physical properties are similar for TCF bleaching sequences with and without xylanase treatments. However in OC/DEoD and OC/DEopD sequences the physical properties decrease with xylanase treatment. There is no difference in the physical properties between XO and OX sequences. COD, BOD and color of bleaching effluents increase slightly with xylanase treatment, however the discharge of COD end-load into environmental impact decrease.

In order to investigate the influencing factors of flotation fractionation. flotations were performed at varied conditions. The selectivity of fines fractionation is mainly affected by long fibers flocculating degree and if it were not for sufficient flocculation of long fibers, increase of long fibers loss could not be avoided. The amount of flotation reject totally depends on the stability of forth floated on the stock surface. only the small size fines stabilize the froth as they hinder the drainage of liquid lamella in flotation-froth. Two important factors of flotation conditions are improving the flocculation of long fibers and increasing the amount of flotation reject. Changing a flotation flux or an air-mixing ratio with aims of increasing the flocculation of fibers and reject ratios is in conflict. In order to satisfy the both conditions for reducing long fiber loss and for increasing flotation reject a new fractionation promoter is urgently required.
