After completing deacidification process and evacuating rest of solvent, white fine particles of MgO are found on the surface of archival materials, such as books and documents. When MgO particles remain on the surface of archives, instead of being well dispersed and absorbed into cellulose fiber of archives, such white fine particles are found. These particles have raised concerns for employees' deacidification environment and their health; however, the concerns have not been addressed. To find the cause of white fine particles on the surface of archives after deacidification process and to propose the its solution, an acidic paper and wood free paper were applied with deacidifying chemicals. We analyzed the domestic and abroad deacidifying chemicals' physical properties and conducted deacidifcation processes to find effects of different contents and sizes of MgO on white fine particles. When the size of MgO particle was 847 nm, there was significantly less amount of white fine particles on the surface of archival materials. This means that the size of MgO particle plays a significant role in producing white fine particles on the surface of archives.

Hobun(Oyster shell White) is a traditional material used as extender and white pigment from ancient times. The production method of it, however, has been discontinued. We have studied the traditional production method of Hobun by weathering oyster shell, which is one of the traditional ways for preparing Hobun. Reproduction study of manufacturing method of the discontinued traditional material is an important accomplishment of our research. Also this study provides solid background knowledge to stabilize the production and supply of Hobun for the cultural asset repairing materials. The result can be summarized as follows: The production process of Hobun by weathering method takes 5 steps - (1) weathering shells ${\rightarrow}$ (2) washing ${\rightarrow}$ (3) pulverization ${\rightarrow}$ (4) separating fine powder by submerging in water ${\rightarrow}$ (5) drying. The major aim in step (1) is to eliminate organic impurities. In the step (4), the fine particles smaller than $25{\mu}m$ are separated by extracting the supernatant from stirred suspension after heavy particles are submerged. Also, the soluble inorganic impurities can be eliminated through the powder submerge in 15 times water and stirring the suspension 6 hours and changing the water 3~4 times. The final products have high quality with 94.03, 0.52, 2.05 for L, a, b, less than $25{\mu}m$ particle size, fine resistance for discoloration by light and environmental pollution and good workability.

Effect of inclusion of hard vs. soft wheat bran with different particle size on diet digestibility, growth performance and some slaughter traits was evaluated in fattening rabbits. Four isonitrogenous and isocaloric diets were used according to the origin of wheat bran (hard (HWB) - Triticum durum - and soft (SWB) - Triticum aestivum) combined with wheat bran particle size sieved by 2 mm (fine: 2) or by 8 mm (coarse: 8) in a bifactorial (2${\times}$2) study. A growth trial was conducted to measure the effect of treatments on performance in one hundred and twenty New Zealand White${\times}$Californian rabbits fed experimental diets from 50 to 87 days of age. Faecal apparent digestibility was determined within the last week in twenty animals per diet. Digestibility of nutrients was higher (p<0.05) in the diet containing HWB2, except for crude protein, ether extract and ash, than fine and coarse soft wheat bran diets. Final live weight, feed intake and feed consumption of rabbits on the diet with fine hard wheat bran were higher and resulted in greater daily weight gains (p<0.01) than for animals on the other diets. The slaughter yield and percentage value of organs were not significantly (p>0.05) affected by the diets fed; however, the diet containing fine hard wheat bran led to lower (p<0.05) percentages of skin, abdominal fat and carcass drip loss than the other dietary treatments. It is concluded that fine hard wheat bran can be better included in the diet than soft wheat bran to maximize growth performance without affecting carcass traits of fattening rabbits.

Mineral compositions were determined using quantitative X-ray diffraction analysis on the three kinds of Youngdong illite consisting of white, yellow and refined yellow samples. Mean particle size and their size distribution patterns were measured by laser particle size analyzer. The characteristics of phosphate adsorption on illite were studied through batch adsorption experiments. The white illite has less illite content, but is finer than that of yellow. The refined yellow illite has more illite content and finer particle size compared with those of raw yellow illite. The adsorption rate of phosphate generally increases when the mass of illite increases, whereas adsorption quantity decreases with ascending pH. The phosphate adsorption usually increases with ascending illite content or descending particle size. Although the white illite has lower illite content than the yellow, the former has higher phosphate adsorption quantity than the latter. This can be ascribed to the fine particle size, high interlayer charge, and low substitution in tetrahedral site of white illite. The adsorption isotherms of white illite are well fitted with the Langmuir equation, however those of yellow one are better with Freundlich equation.

Wastewoods (logging residues) generated in Korea were used to make lignocellulosic fillers for papermaking. Lignocellulosic fillers could play great roles to increase retention efficiency and thus decrease turbidity of white water in papermaking process. In addition, lignocellulosic fillers could be used to improve physical properties of paper through their high affinity to cellulosic fibers, leading to the less use of chemical additives like retention aids. Wastewoods including Pinus densiflora and Quercus variabilis were chemically and mechanically treated for making fine particles passing through 100 mesh wire. The newly generated fillers showed larger particle size distribution than ground calcium carbonates but similar distribution to talc. In particular, pretreatment by hot water was more effective to generate smaller particle size than by alkali treatment. Lignocellulosic particles mixed with ground calcium carbonates under intense hybridizing condition greatly contributed to surface coverage of organic fillers in addition to filling to lumen and pits.

Because paper industry spends lots amount of water, the recycling of water is very important in economical as well as environmental aspects. In order to optimize the process water recycling system, the efficiency of unit operation for water circulation, such as save-all system, CDS and settling tank, plays an important role in. In this study, the sedimentation efficiency of process water was evaluated by SS measurement with the different amounts of flocculent addition. 3 different kinds of process water were collected from fine paper mill, and applied in laboratory sedimentation equipment for the measurement of settling efficiency of SS materials. The addition amounts of alum and PAC were resulted in optimum efficiency of sediments in the condition of 100 ppm of alum and 500 ppm of PAC respectively. In the comparison of sedimentation efficiency between alum and PAC, alum showed more economical and efficient results. The SS of spill water and the particle size of suspended materials treated by alum flocculents were below 50 ppm and about 1 $\mu$m. It would be considered that the spill water can be substituted to superclear water grade.

$Ho^{3+}/Yb^{3+}/Tm^{3+}$ tri-doped $NaY_{1-x}(WO_4)_2$ phosphors with proper doping concentrations of $Ho^{3+}$, $Yb^{3+}$ and $Tm^{3+}$ ($x=Ho^{3+}+Yb^{3+}+Tm^{3+}$, $Ho^{3+}$=0.04, 0.03, 0.02, 0.01, $Yb^{3+}$=0.35, 0.40, 0.45, 0.50 and $Tm^{3+}$=0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04) were successfully synthesized via the microwave sol-gel route, and their upconversion properties were investigated. Well-crystallized microcrystalline particles showed fine and homogeneous microcrystalline morphology with particle sizes of $1-2{\mu}m$. The optical properties were comparatively examined using photoluminescence emission and Raman spectroscopy. Under excitation at 980 nm, the doped particles exhibited white emissions based on blue, green and red emission bands, which correspond to the $^1G_4{\rightarrow}^3H_6$ transitions of $Tm^{3+}$ in the blue region, the $^5S_2/^5F_4{\rightarrow}^5I_8$ transitions of $Ho^{3+}$ in the green region, the $^5F_5{\rightarrow}^5I_8$ transitions of $Ho^{3+}$, and the $^1G_4{\rightarrow}^3F_4$ and $^3H_4{\rightarrow}^3H_6$ transitions of $Tm^{3+}$ in the red region. The pump power dependence of the upconversion emission intensity and the Commission Internationale de L'Eclairage chromaticity coordinates of the phosphors were evaluated in detail.
