Activated carbon is carbon produced from carbonaceous source materials, such as coconut shells, coals, and woods. In this study, an activated carbon production system was analyzed by carbonization and activation in terms of environmental impact and human health. The feedstock of wood wastes for the system reduced fossil fuel consumption and disposal costs. Life cycle assessment methodology was used to analyze the environmental impacts of the system, and the functional unit was one tonne of wood wastes. The boundary expansion method was applied to analyze the wood waste recycling process for activated carbon production. An environmental credit was quantified by avoided impact analysis. Specifically, greenhouse gases discharged from 1 kg of activated carbon production system by feeding wood wastes were evaluated. We found that this system reduced global warming potential of approximately $9.69E+00kg\;CO_2-eq$. compared to the process using coals. The environmental benefits for activated carbon production from wood wastes were analyzed in contrast to other disposal methods. The results showed that the activated carbon system using one tonne of wood wastes has an environmental benefit of $163kg\;CO_2-eq$. for reducing global warming potential in comparison with the same amount of wood wastes disposal by landfilling.

To investigate the dying properties of the extracts from different parts of Neolitsea sericea Koidz on Hanji, the dye materials were prepared from the extraction methods using $1{\ell}$ of hot water and alkaline solution with 40 g of leaves, bark, and wood each. K/S values and H (V/C) values of the Hanji dyed at different pH, temperature, time, and concentration of extract were determined using a spectrophotometer, and the maximum absorption wavelength of the dyed Hanji was 400 nm. From the analyzed data, the optimum dying conditions were pH 5 of dying solution, $70^{\circ}C$ of dying temperature, 40 minutes of dying time, and 100% of dye concentration. The color of dyed Hanji was Y to YR and color R- and RP-type could also be formed from the different treatment conditions. From the dyeing using mordants, amount of the bound dye materials was high in the pre-mordanted Hanji and in Hanji treated with extracts from the leaves. Also, the amount of the bound dye materials in the pre-mordanted Hanji was higher when aluminum and iron mordant was used rather than other mordants. Not likely with this, amount of the bound dye materials in the post-mordanted Hanji was higher when copper mordant was used. In color, Hanji treated extracts from the leaves appeared as Y-type and ones treated with extracts from bark and wood showed YR-type.

Paulownia tomentosa is one of fast-growing wood species in Korea. In order to evaluate the solid bioenergy properties of Paulownia tree, this study examined the heating value, moisture content (MC), pH and proximate analysis of stem, branch, root, bark and leaf. The heating values of wood parts were slightly higher than those of bark and leaf, and that of branch was the highest among all the samples. The higher moisture content of bark and leaf referred to their lower heating value. Also, the pH of stem, branch and root was similar and lower than those of bark and leaf. The ash content of bark and leaf was much higher than that of wood parts, which is the one of the reasons for effect on the lower heating value and higher pH. While, the volatile matter content (VMC) of bark and leaf was lower than those of wood parts. The bark showed the highest fixed carbon content (FCC), while the FCC of stem was the lowest among all the samples. The obtained results are encouraging that the Paulownia tree could be totally utilized as alternative fuels for bioenergy production.

This study is to research on printing method by use of colorants extracted from Sappan wood. As for the research, the stability of paste added by mordants, steaming condition, optimal mordant concentration, change of surface color and colorfastness were measured. The experiment showed that guar gum were stability among the sodium-alginate, modified starch, guar gum. And the surface color was best when the streaming time was 60 minutes, mordant concentration 3g/l. And for colorfastness experiment, colorfastness to drycleaning was good, but colorfastness to light and colorfastness to washing showed no desirable result.

Interaction between wood-destroying basidiomycetes and blue stain fungi were studied during conjoint cultivation on 2% malt extract agar. The ability of basidial cultures to decolourise dark pigments of ophiostomatoid fungi was the main characteristics estimated during this investigation. Antrodiella hoehnelii(S28/91), Bjerkandera fumosa(137), Gleophyllum odoratum(124), Trametes versicolor (B18/91) cultures were found to be the most active in decreasing dark colour of blue stain fungi colonies. The cultures were recommended for further development as agents of biopulping and control of blue stain fungi in wood chips.

Commercial micro pulps(Arbocel) were coated with three kinds of polymers using spray method. These coated micro pulps were used to papermaking additives to evaluate retention, drainage and physical properties of paper. The retention and drainage were improved with addition of polymer coated micro pulp. The bulk index of paper was also increased, but tensile and tear strength were decreased slightly, probably due to weakening of internal bonding. These results showed that the use of polymer coated micro pulp was an effective method to improve retention, drainage and bulk index of paper.

The wood-degrading fungus Trichophyton sp. LKY-7 (T. LKY-7) was immobilized in ca-alginate beads for laccase production and PCP bioremediation. The immobilized T. LKY-7 enabled the repeated use of this fungus for laccase production and produced high amount of laccase throughout 5 cycles incubation. As a laccase inducer. oak wood meal (Quercus variabilis) seemed to be effective laccase inducer for T. LKY-7, and the optimum addition amount was 1％ (W/W) in glucose-peptone medium. Bioremediation of pentachlorophenol by the immobilized T. LKY-7 reached an efficency of up to 90％ without toxic inhibition. The immobilized T. LKY-7 might thus be applicable for semicontinuous laccase production and bioremediation to serve inoculum for reactor system.

Proton-NMR spectroscopic method was applied to kinetics study of concentrated sulfuric acid hydrolysis reaction. Xylan was used as model compounds. Without neutralization steps in proton-NMR methods, this analysis method is valid for analysis of xylose, furfural and formic acid in acid hydrolyzates.

The annals of Joseon Dynasty has been known as one of the UNESCO's Memory of the World Heritage. Some of the annals of Joseon Dynasty was composed with wax coated book. Especially the waxed book have been severely damaged by various reason. To find out the safety preservation method of the annals of Joseon Dynasty waxed book, the characteristics of reinforced dewaxed Hanji was evaluated in this paper. From strength properties of MC treated dewaxed Hanji after dewaxing with different method, dewaxing ratio was been high, polymer treated dew axed Hanji showed a better strength. As the aging time, polymer layer on dewaxed Hanji was became brittle and cracked.
