Abstract
Natural Com Starch(NCS) spray system has been widely used In multiply board mill for the better bonding strength between board layers. However the unsuitable NCS spray system could lead to a drop in plybond efficiency of multiply board. It could also result in the accumulation of unretained-starch in the white water system, which could not only rise in BOD and COD level but also reduce the effects of rosin-alum sizing system and other additives. In this study, the simple and rapid method by UV-spectroscopy for measuring the starch contents in the white water was proposed, and the quantitative analysis for dissolved starch content in white water was carried out in two kinds of board production process. It could be confirmed that about 150 ppm of oxidized starch was retained in white water dewatered from undertop ply of multiply board process, and about 470 ppm of natural starch was dissolved in white water originated from unsuitable spraying system in the multiply board production lines for cup base paper.
