Abstract

As the demand for paper continues to grow and the importance of recycled paper, white ledgar(WL) and old newspaper pulp(ONP), continuously increase. In addition, usage of recycled paper is essential in terms of forest conservation and environmental protection issues. However, optical and mechanical properties of recycled paper have some drawbacks than regular paper's properties that is indispensable. In order to complement these problems of recycled paper, precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) was synthesized by the In-situ process with a recycled pulp. Depending on the size of PCC is divided into 2 types, $0.01{\mu}m{\sim}0.09{\mu}m$ colloid type ultra-fine particle and $0.1{\mu}m{\sim}0.9{\mu}m$ cubic type particles. In this study, we analyze how the different shape and size of precipitated calcium carbonate affects in the optical and mechanical properties of the recycled paper used as a filler. Furthermore, we mixed with chemical pulp for overcome reduce of mechanical properties, without using other chemicals, when we use PCC as a filler. The results has the possibility to meet in GR excellent recycling certification mark, standard was proposed.

종이에 대한 수요가 꾸준히 증가함에 따라 백상지 고지(White ledger)나 신문지 고지(Old newspaper pulp)등의 재활용지에 대한 중요성이 지속적으로 증가하고 있다. 또한 재활용지의 사용은 산림자원의 보호와 지구온난화 등의 환경문제 차원에서 더욱 부각되고 있다. 하지만 재활용지의 경우 종이에 필수적인 광학적 성질이 저하하고 기계적 성질이 감소하는 등 일반 종이에 비해 단점을 가지고 있다. 이러한 재활용지의 문제점을 보완하기 위해 입자 크기에 따라 $0.1{\mu}m{\sim}0.9{\mu}m$의 교질형 초미립자와 $0.1{\mu}m{\sim}0.9{\mu}m$의 입방형 미립자로 나눠지는 침강성 탄산칼슘을 In-situ 공정으로 재생펄프 표면에 합성하였다. 서로 다른 결정 형태와 크기가 다른 침강성탄산칼슘이 재활용지의 광학적 기계적 물성에 어떠한 영향을 주는지 연구하였다. 또한 화학펄프와의 혼합을 통해 침강성 탄산칼슘이 코팅된 재생펄프의 기계적 물성을 감소시키는 점을 보완하여 다른 첨가물에 전혀 의존하지 않고도 우수 재활용 인증마크인 GR규격을 만족하는지 알아보았다.
