Thermomechanical pulping process uses large amounts of energy, mostly electricity to run electrical facilities. Thermomechanical pulp (TMP) made from Pinus densiflora also has a big drawback that refining consumes 90 per cent of the total energy used in TMP process. This study explored to draw up a way to save refining energy through different thermal treatment at the stages of presteaming and refining. Presteaming temperature was $80^{\circ}C$, $100^{\circ}C$, and $120^{\circ}C$. After presteaming at each temperature, refining was carried out at $100^{\circ}C$, $120^{\circ}C$, and $140^{\circ}C$ respectively. In a presteaming stage, steaming temperature over $120^{\circ}C$ greatly contributed to the decrease of refining energy leading to earlier attainment of a target freeness, irrespective of refining temperature. In addition, NaOH treatment with presteaming enhanced better development of fiber properties during refining than presteaming without NaOH. High temperature refining at $140^{\circ}C$ produced a high strength paper, and wood chips treated by alkali responded better to refining than at over $120^{\circ}C$. Improved softening effect on wood chips led to the decrease in shives contents but it gave no effect on pitch contents of TMP.

The effect of presteaming on native oak specimens(Quercus serrata) of 2.5cm thick were investigated by measuring specific gravities, internal moisture gradients, residual extractives, and transport rates of free and bound water. The specific gravities and internal moisture gradients of the presteamed samples did not much deviate from those of the controls, but after presteaming discrepancy in moisture content between specimens lessened. The amount of residual hot-water extractives of the presteamed samples were less than those of the controls by 25%. The transport rates of bound water were determined by measuring steady-state diffusion coefficients with a vapormeter cup. After presteaming the diffusion coefficients in radial direction increased by 35%, but decreased those in the tangential direction.

The effectiveness of presteaming for improving CCA treatability on refractory Japanese larch heartwood was investigated in this study. Presteaming was effective on improving treatability, and the extent of improvement was dependent on moisture contents of wood specimen and steaming conditions. Green wood showed higher average value in both preservative retention and penetration than dry wood, and steaming under pressure conditions also had higher treatability than steaming at atmospheric conditions. The degree of improvement for treatability was increased with the extension of steaming period. Treatability of dry wood pres teamed under pressure conditions more than 6 hours and green wood for 3 hours was similar to that enhanced by conventional incising. Presteaming green wood under pressure conditions more than 6 hours was more effective than conventional incising in improvement of CCA treatability, and resultant treatability satisfied a minimum value required for CCA-treated wood for being used at the regions of hazard class H3 and H4. In addition, an improvement of treatability by presteaming was due to an increase in permeability resulted from the degradation of hemicelluloses within aspirated pit membrane and cell wall, not the removal of extractives from pit membrane. The reduction in strength, measured as longitudinal compressive strength, due to pres teaming was related with the degradation of hemicelluloses, and was increased as steaming conditions were severe. The degree of strength reduction associated with presteaming treatment to obtain required treatability could be quantified from the relatively good relation between the increase in treatability and the decrease in strength.

To increase drying rate and reduce drying degradation, pretreatments such as prefreezing and presteaming have been widely used in wood industries. Presteaming lumbers prior to kiln drying is known positively to improve its permeability, to increase diffusion coefficient and to reduce discoloration, but negatively to increase collapse. Prefreezing lumbers prior to kiln drying is also known to reduce significantly its drying defects and its shrinkages. Thus it is no doubt that the pretreated lumbers shrink diversely from the untreated. In this study the shrinkage behaviors of the pretreated specimens are investigated by drying two tropical hardwoods (Apitong and Taun) in three different dying conditions: high temperature and slow drying rate (drying in a closed cylinder), high temperature and rapid drying rate (drying in an oven) and low temperature and slow drying rate(drying at room temperature). The prefrozen specimens show the least volumetric shrinkages in most drying conditions. The specimens dried in cylinders shrink most among all drying conditions. In general the pretreated specimens reached the 30 % moisture content faster than the untreated by about 30 %.

Persimmon boards of 30mm thick were dried, their temperatures were monitored during drying with 490 and 200watt microwave, and the drying efficacy and problems were investigated. The effects of pretreatments such as presteaming and prefreezing were also examined. The persimmon green lumbers of 80% moisture content were dried to 10% for only 50~60 and 110 minutes with 49watt and 200watt microwave, respectively. Severe internal checks were, however, found in all boards. The presteamed boards collapsed on their surfaces earlier than the controls. It may attribute to the high temperature inside boards during microwave drying and the decrease of their internal tensile strength caused by the presteaming treatment. To increase the internal tensile strength of the pretreated boards and to reduce their internal checks, they were air-dried at room temperature. The air-dried boards could be dried to 10% moisture content clearly and free from defects with 200watt microwave. The heating efficiency were also calculated with the maximum weight loss per minute of 490watt and 200watt.

기존의 촉진양생 연구는 1960~1970년대에 주로 실행된 것으로, 전체 증기양생기간이 18시간 또는 24시간인 경우에 대하여 연구되었고, 상기 연구 결과는 수동식 항온항습조를 사용하였으므로 온도상승구배의 효과에 대하여 명확한 규명을 할 수 없다고 판단되었다. 따라서 국내 PC공장 여건에서 그 직접적인 적용이 불가능한 실정이다. 본 연구는 효과적인 콘크리트 촉진양생에 대한 기본 자료를 정립할 목적으로, 국내 PC 공장에서 사용하는 배합표를 근거로 시험공시체를 제작한 후, 각 해당 양생주기 조건을 변화시켜 가면서 실험하였다. 탈형시 및 수중양생 재령28일의 측정하고 비교 검토한 결과, 재령 28일 후 설계강도값을 초과하는 가장 효과적인 촉진양생조건, 본 실험조건 하에서 전양생시간은 커다란 영향을 미치지 않았으며, 온도상승구배는 $30^{circ}C/hr$ 이하로, 최고양생온도는 $82^{\circ}C$이하로 양생해야 하며, 또한 촉진양생 후 2차 양생으로 강도증진을 도모함이 촉진양생의 효과를 증대시킬 수 있다고 판단되었다.

국내에서 대부분 시공되어지고 있는 현장타설 콘크리트 라이닝은 여러 가지가 문제점을 나타내고 있다. 그 중에 특히 라이닝의 균열 발생은 사회적 및 경제적인 문제로까지 제기되고 있으며 라이닝의 미관뿐만 아니라 안정성에도 영향을 미치게 되므로 막대한 보수보강 공사비의 지출을 유발해 국가 예산을 소모시키고 있다. 국내 콘크리트 2차 제품 생산업체의 생산기술은 아직 선진국 수준에 미치지 못하며, 고품질 제품 생산에 있어 가장 중요한 증기양생 방법 또한 규정되어 있지 않은 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 터널용 PC 패널의 증기양생조건 중 전양생시간, 온도상승구배를 달리하여 물리적 특성을 검토하였다. 시험결과, 고강도 PC패널의 전양생시간은 최소 1시간 이상이 바람직하였으며 온도상승구배는 최대 $20^{\circ}C$가 물리 역학적으로 가장 우수한 성능을 나타내었다.

This study was carried out for deresinning the larch boards dried in a conventional kiln. Prior to heat treatment they were steamed in an autoclave for 5 hours or frozen for 24 hours at a temperature of $-35^{\circ}C$. The velocities of ultrasound transmitted through the specimens were measured to examine the correlation with their resin contents. It was found that the specimens heated at $100^{\circ}C$ for 5 hours contained less resin that those heated at $200^{\circ}C$ for an hour. Both treatments of steaming and freezing were effective for deresinning and the former was better than the latter. The ultrasonic velocities measured before the heat treatment showed a negative correlation to the resin contents of the specimens, but those measured after the heat treatment a positive correlation. This difference may be attributed to the viscosity of resin.

The presteamed or prefrozen persimmon blocks of 10cm ${\times}$ 10cm ${\times}$ 15cm were air-dried at room temperature until about 30% moisture content, and then were dried in a MW oven. During drying their internal temperatures were monitored with thermo-couple probes. The presteamed and prefrozen blocks didn't show any improvement in drying rate and moisture gradient when compared with the controls. Checks appeared on the surfaces of most presteamed blocks during air-drying. It has been clearly revealed that the maximum weight, loss must, be less than 2g/min during MW drying to prevent internal checking and that MW drying reduced moisture gradients inside blocks. MW dried the persimmon blocks 440 times faster than conventional kiln.
