Neutral sizing is required for linerboard to solve the troubles in strength and process caused by recycled raw materials. AKD sizing efficiency can be influenced by process condition like white water quality, fines retention and so on. Therefore, this study was aimed to evaluate sizing performance of general and fast cure type AKDs using process water obtained from linerboard mill. To evaluate effect of process water quality on AKD sizing, white water was diluted with tap water at the different dilution ratios and UKP slurry was sized using the prepared water. Also, effects of inorganic and organic ion material on sizing were examined. When white water was used for stock forming, UKP sheet showed very low sizing degree. Sizing degree of sheet was increased with increase of dilution ratio because water quality was improved. Especially anionic organic material had a greater influence on AKD sizing than inorganic material. When white water quality was deteriorated, fast cure type AKD showed superior sizing performance to general type AKD.

For the purpose of manufacturing water-resistant corrugated board boxes for agricultural products in the cold chain system, the effects of fiber types, wet strength agents and a moisture-proof chemical on the properties of the base papers were investigated first. PAE(polyamide amine epichlorohydrin) showed better performance than MF(melamine formalde-hyde) over broad stock pH ranges, which was prefered as wet strength agent for the paper grade. When short fibers(AOCC, KOCC) were mixed with long fiber(UKP) in certain ratios, some physical properties of the paper made with mixed fibers were similar to those of the paper made with UKP only. Paper containing AOCC showed the biggest increase in water resistance when PAE was added to the stock. Synergistic effects in moisture-proof and some mechanical properties of paper were appeared when PAR was added internally, together with the coating of a moisture proof chemical on the sheets.

Micro inorganic solids and dissolved materials contained in the white water of linerboard process was obtained by centrifugation, and their characteristics were analyzed along with their effects on the mechanical properties of linerboard. Micro inorganic materials had little influence on tensile index and ZDT of UKP sheets. They showed rather a positive effect on mechanical properties of KOCC sheets due to adsorbed polymer. Mechanical properties of KOCC sheets decreased remarkably when the concentration of dissolved materials increased especially above 4000 ppm.

한지의 제조에 있어서 부원료인 점질물은 초지시 매우 중요한 역할을 하는데 그 주된 역 할은 다음과 같다. 먼저 점질물은 섬유의 분산을 용이하게 하고 종이의 강도를 증가시키며, 양지와는 달리 박엽지의 제조가 편리하고, 종이의 경도를 증가시키며, 습지의 처리를 용이하 게 하며, 점성으로 인하여 섬유의 침전올 방지하고, 종이의 광택을 향상시키는 둥 매우 중요 한 역할을 한다. 그러나 한지 제조시 이러한 식물성 점제의 미묘한 작용은 현재 대다수의 한지 제조 공장에서 사용하고 있는 합성점제인 PAM이나 PEO 등의 합성 고분자 화합물에 서는 기대하기 어려운 작용이라 여겨진다. 이와 같은 사실에서 본 연구에서는 전통적인 천 연점질물인 황촉규근의 점질물과 합성점제인 PAM 및 우리 나라에서 전혀 사용되지 않고 있는 나무수국 내수피의 점질물을 이용하여 한지를 제조하고 이들 한지의 특성을 SEM 및 A AFM(Atomic Force Microscopy)를 이용하여 분석하였다. 먼저 각각의 점질물로 제조한 한지를 SEM으로 관찰한 결과 닥나무 인피섬유의 최외층에 투명막이 존재하는 사실을 발견할 수 있었다. 이러한 투명막은 닥나무나 뽕나무 인피섬유에 만 존재하고 삼지닥나무나 산닥나무 둥과 같은 기타 인피섬유에는 존재하지 않으므로 한지 의 원료 섬유의 식별에 매우 중요한 요소가 된다. 또한 이러한 투명막은 섬유간 결합을 증 대시켜 한지의 강도 발현에 기여한다고 사료된다. 천연점질물인 황촉규근과 나무수국 점 질물을 이용하여 제조한 한지를 SEM 및 SEM-EDXA를 이용하여 분석한 결과, 황촉규근 점질물로 제조한 한지에는 상당량의 전분입자가 폰재하고 있었으며 나무수국 점질물로 제 조한 한지에는 침상의 수산칼슐 결정이 상당량 존재하고 있는 사실을 발견하였다. 이러한 사실은 한지 제조시 사용된 점질물의 식별에 중요한 요소라 사료된다. 한지의 원료인 닥나무 인피펄프와 침엽수 미표백 크라프트 펄프를 AFM을 이용하여 분석 한 결과, 닥나무 인피펄프의 마이크로피브릴 폭은 5-10nm로 Sw-UKP의 마이크로피브릴 폭 lO-20nm보다 매우 가늘고, 치밀한 세포벽 구조를 하고 있었다. 닥나무 인피펄프의 이러 한 세포벽 구조 및 마이크로피브렬의 형태가 Sw-UKP보다 높은 섬유강도를 나타내는 원인 이라 사료된다. 각각의 점질물을 이용하여 제조한 한지의 섬유표면을 AFM을 이용하여 관 찰한 결과, 원료펄프의 표면관찰에서와는 달리 초지시 사용된 점질물이 섬유표면을 피복하 고 있어 명확한 형태의 마이크로피브렬을 관찰할 수 가 없었다. 따라서 점질물의 이러한 역 할이 한지의 강도 및 보존성 향상에 기여하리라 사료된다.

The effects of Condebelt press drying on the densification of recycled sheets made from KOCC , AOCC UKP and BKP were examined using CLSM (Confocal Laser Scanning Microscope) and thermal image analysis techniques. It was shown that significant improvement in sheet density, compression strength, tensile strength, surface smoothness was obtained by Condebelt drying. Densification effect by press drying was most prominent for recycled KOCC sheets. And this beneficial effect of Condebelt drying of increasing sheet density and strength was shown to provide opportunities of reducing the utilization ratio of AOCC for cost saving.

A screening has been performed to find hyper-ligninolytic fungi, which degtrade beech and pine lignin extensively in order to broaden the understanding of the ligninolytic enzymes elaborated by various white-rot fungi. One hundred and twenty two ligninolytic strains were selected from decayed woods with a selective medium for screening ligninolytic wood-rotting fungi. Two of them, Phanerochaete sordida YK-624 and YK-472, showed much higher ligninolytic activity and selectivity in beech-wood degradation than typical lignin-degrading fungi, phanerochaete chrysosporium and Coriolus versicolor. They also degraded birch dioxane lignin and residual lignin in unbleached kraft pulp(UKP) much more extensively than P. chrysosporium and C. versicolor. During fungal treatment of beech wood-powder, the fungus strain P. sordida YK-624 showed higher activity of extracellular manganese peroxidase (MnP) in the medium than P. chrysosporium. It also showed MnP activity, which would not be lignin peroxidast during treatment of oxygen-bleached kraft pulp(OKP) and under enzyme-inducing conditin.

In order to determine the most appropriate recycling line to treat old corrugated container (OCC) to substitute unbleached kraft pulp (UKP) for the manufacture of kraft paper, three recycling lines were evaluated in pilot scale tests. The recycling line consisting of kneading, flotation, washing, dispersion and screening steps was able to produce pulp with acceptable appearance. Kneading was shown to be more efficient treatment to reduce specks than dispersion. In addition, 0.2 mm slot screen was very effective to remove specks. Severe damages on fiber morphology such as shortening of fiber and formation of fines were not observed during mechanical treatments such as kneading and dispersion. Most of strength properties of the kraft paper produced with the recycled pulp were found to be slightly increased after treated in the recycling lines.

Increasing consumer demand for recycle of most paper products is challenging manufacturers to use lower value raw materials while maintaining high quality. This study was carried out to investigate the composition of old corrugated containers (OCC) and to manufacture printing and writing papers of over 85% (ISO) brightness by ECF and TCF bleaching from OCC. Fiber length of American old corrugated container (AOCC) was longer than that of Korean old corrugated container (KOCC) in fiber length. The former was composed of unbleached kraft pulp (UKP) of about 80 percentage, the latter about 20 percentage. OCC is feasible for manufacturing of pulps i.e., AOCC is for printing and writing papers and KOCC is for whiteboards, in the aspects of brightness and mechanical properties on the other hand, the cost of manufacturing upgraded papers by OCC is high because of bleaching chemicals. Neverthless, considering various aspects, especially environment, there are many advantages in recycling. In case of the treated AOCC pulp, over 85% (ISO) brightness can be achieved through TCF or ECF bleaching step, while the treated KOCC pulp did not allow high brightness through TCF bleaching. The tensile index of the bleached KOCC pulp was lower than that of the bleached AOCC pulp, but the burst and tear index of KOCC was higher than that of AOCC.

It is generally known that paper industry is the second largest industry in the use of process water, and also have the highest environmental impact load in the contaminant sources. Paper is produced from the mixtures composed of 1% fibrous raw materials and 99% water. The optimum use of process water effects on the quality properties of paper and the environmental impact load of waste water treatment. In this research, the kinds of fibrous raw material & additives used in the paperboard production line were investigated, and the quantification of environmental loads and the environmental effects of process water on COD potential were evaluated. The NBDCODs were also analyzed from process water by the method of waste water treatment in paper mill and applied for the optimum use of recycling water, and zero effluent process. In the fibrous raw materials, KOCC caused the highest COD potentials, and sack paper & UKP was comparatively low. The NBDCOD of KOCC largely reduced after biological treatment because of easily biodegradable properties, but AOCC contained non-biodegradable materials. In chemical additives, COD was high in turns of rosin>starch>deaeration agent>dye, NBDCOD greatly reduced in starch and deaeration agent. In the case of 2 kinds of paperboard product, the COD potentials was mainly high in starch, AOCC and KOCC.
