This research investigates the mixture proportioning of waste newsprint paper fiber for thin-cement product. Waste newsprint paper fibers obtained through shredded mechanically by a dry process. Waste newsprint paper fiber reinforced cement composites was manufacted by slurry-dewatering method. The waste newsprint paper fiber reinforcement conditions (fiber mass fraction, level of substitution of virgin fibers, level of fiber beating) and processing variables (pressed, unpressed) are optimized through experimental studies and statistical analyses based on factorial design of experiments and analyses of variance. The optimized recycled waste newsprint paper fiber reinforced cement composites were technically evaluated. The results are shown to possess acceptable properties and strong potentials of the recycling of waste newsprint paper of the reinforcement of thin-cement products.

This paper deals with historical changes in the market of Korean newsprint paper since 1945. Particularly, this paper does not examine only the structure of supply and demand in the newsprint paper market, but also general dynamics of the market from a perspective of Harold Innis's socioeconomic history. As a result, this paper concludes that the general dynamics of Korean newsprint paper market has persistently responded to a stimulus from external markets due to a scarcity of natural resources. To more concretely put it, until 1967 when the newsprint paper market was opened, Korean government had tried to control both newspaper industries and paper manufacture businesses by the matters of price and distribution of the newsprint paper. But since the market was opened, a general dynamics of the Korean newsprint paper market has been vulnerable to uncoordinated properties of external markets. Consequently, even though 'self-sufficiency' of newsprint papers was achieved in 1974, the price of newsprint papers has been often rising and falling.

In this paper, to investigate the deinkability of domestic and Australian old newsprint according to aging time, two types of newsprint printed with commercial offset ink in domestic(K; Korean newsprint, C; Canadian newsprint), Japanase(J) and Australian(A) old newsprint were aged naturally for 10, 30, 90, 180 days, and then yield, brightness, fiber length, and physical properties (tensile index, tear index, burst index) were evaluated according to aging time. As the aging time increased, the yield and brightness of respective samples decreased. The brightness and yield were decreased in the order of A, K, J and C. The brightness and strength of newsprint varied according to the ink formulation and kinds of pulp and wood. The decreasing order of strength is subsequently J, K, C and A.

Recently, interest in utilization plan of recycling paper have been enhanced. Therefore, this research aimed to develop the manufacture process of cellulose acetate using old newsprint by acetosolv pulping process. And the manufactured cellulose acetate was also analyzed, especially based on chemical properties. The summarized results in this research were as follows; Reaction time, kind and amount of catalyst, and ratio of liquor to material were varied during acetosolv pulping process of old newsprint. Ratio of liquor to material did not give the significant difference in reaction product. Delignification rate was increased with increasing reaction time during acetosolv pulping, but yield and degree of substitution decreased with increasing reaction time. Sulfuric acid are better catalyst than hydrochloric acid in acetosolv pulping process for old newsprint, and optimal addition amount of catalyst was 1% based on reaction material. Delignification, yield, and degree of substitution were influenced by the catalyst and reaction time. Under pulping condition of $120^{\circ}C$ in 1/12 liquor to material ratio and 60min, degree of substitution was about 0.7. The acetylation reaction was not completely caused by these reaction condition. The examination of the FT-IR spectra revealed that absorption band(1200$\textrm{cm}^{-2}$, 1,750$\textrm{cm}^{-1}$) caused by carbonyl group were confirmed.

This study was to evaluate applications of the alkalophilic enzymes from Coprinus cinereus 2249 with old newsprint(ONP). A enzymatic deinking process based on alkalopholic enzymes was investigated . It was found that alkalophilic enzymes could effectively deink old newsprint. When applied on deinking of the old newsprint, it increases the freeness and brightness due to effect of hydrolysis at 0.1% enzyme concentration . Also, the physical properties of deinked pulp were improved.

The effect of soft nip calendering variables including pressure, temperature, nip residence time and moisture on newsprint properties was investigated. The change of bulk, opacity, smoothness, and gloss were determined. It was found that the influence of calendering pressure and temperature are more significant compare the Influence of sheet moisture content and nip residence time on newsprint properties. Calendering conditions of 16$0^{\circ}C$ of temperature, 78kg$_{f}$/cm of line load and 4ms of nip residence time were considered to be optimum conditions to obtain reasonable gloss and smoothness while minimizing the loss of bulk and opacity for newsprint.

Measuring ink penetration is one of the best ways to know paper printability. Ink penetration was effected by physical properties of newsprint paper. This study was carried out for the purpose of improvement printability with ink penetration of domestic newsprint paper. The samples were prepared by means of 20 newsprint paper manufacture company in Korea, and were tested by IGT printability tester. The results of this experiments showed that the depth of ink penetration according to the printing pressure. The maximum points in ink transfer curve and the coefficients of oil absorption of the papers also depend mainly upon the situation of anchor points.

A residue from the newsprint waste was investigated as a filler in adhesive for bonding southern pine plywood. The residue was prepared by drying the wet residue to 8% moisture content and grinding the dry material using a laboratory Wiley mitt with a 75-${\mu}m$(200-mesh) screen. The residue was compared to a commercial filler commonly used in structural plywood adhesives. A total of 48 three-ply panels. 12.7mm nominal thickness and 0.3 by 0.3 m in size, were fabricated at two press times(4 and 5 min) and three assembly times(20, 40 and 60 min). Evaluations of the residue were carried out by performance tension shear tests after two 4-hour boil accelerated aging tests on plywood. The test results included tension shear strength and estimated wood failure values. All plywood made with the residue filler were comparable to the control-bonded plywood. These results indicate that residue from the newsprint waste streams would be suitable as filler for plywood adhesives.

The possibility of real time analysis about hot melt resins and pressure sensitive adhesives in newsprint stock was investigated by performing comparative tests using conventional image analysis method and real time contaminants analyzer. Based on the test results, the performance of real time contaminants analyzer in terms of detecting primary stickies in newsprint stock could be verified. Real time stickies analysis showed good precision and over-estimation of hot melt resins and under-estimation of pressure sensitive adhesives could be corrected by adapting new method. Real time analysis of primary stickies in the actual newsprint stock also showed good correlation with conventional image analysis and the performance of real time contaminants analyzer could be verified again. Adjustment of the contrast sensitivity of real time contaminants analyzer was enough to set the proper monitoring conditions for primary stickies in newsprint stock.

This study was performed to investigate the deinkability of Korean old newspaper(KONP) and the properties of newsprint made from deinked pulp with some addition of virgin pulp. When the samples of composed of 50% Australian old magazine(AuOMG) and 50% KONP were compared with the samples 50% AuOMG and 50% AuONP, the yield, opacity, strength properties of the former were high, but its brightness was low. When the mixing ratio of AuOMG : AuONP : KONP was 30:20:50, the brightness and strength properties were obtained the similar or better than those obtained samples having other mixing ratio. The brightness and opacity of samples made from deinked pulp with the some addition of TMP and BKP can meet the minium qualifications of brightness and opacity specified by Japanese Industrial Standard. The samples, which DIP, TMP, and KP were mixed with the ratio of the 85:10:5 and 90:5:5, maintained higher brightness and strength comparing to the samples containing higher amount of virgin pulp. Since the newsprint samples made from KONP was not inferior to those from imported old newspaper, the more use of KONP in producing newsprint is recommended.
