Nowadays, the bleaching techniques of thermomechanical pulp(TMP) are fast developing on the strength of some benefits, mainly on low production cost and good fiber property. In this study, the optimum concentration of bleaching chemicals and the environmental load of bleaching wastes were considered to improve the bleaching efficiency of thermomechanical pulp using Korean redpine(Pinus densiflora) under the peroxide-based bleaching system. The optical property of TMP after bleaching was planned to use higher grade of paper, like printing & writting paper, not general newspaper. The concentration of bleaching chemicals, NaOH, $Na_2SiO_3$ and EDTA, in hydrogen peroxide bleaching system, on the basis of O.D. pulp was closely influenced on the improvement of TMP brightness. Final target of bleaching efficiency was set up to above 76%-ISO brightness. The optimal target brightness of Korean redpine TMP was reached to 76.45%-ISO under the conditions of $H_2O_2$ 7% with NaOH 2.20%, $Na_2SiO_3$ 0.63% and EDTA 0.02%. The concentration of NaOH, $Na_2SiO_3$ and EDTA was correlated functional to the residual peroxide content of wastewater, pH value and electric conductivity of TMP fibers after bleaching treatment. The optimal bleaching conditions by controlling the addition amount of chemicals were positively contributed to the brightness stabilization and environmental load of TMP.

Hydroxide free KCI single crystals are prepared and doped with samall amounts of KSH or $K_2$S. The samples are subjected to neutron irradiations while keeping them under the condition of liquid nitrogen temperature in the dark. The irradiated ones are then bleached by using a U.V. lamp and analysed as four different kinds of chemical forms in $^{35}$ S whose valence states are -2, 0, +4 and +6. It semms that the sulphide fraction of $^{35}$ S in doped crystals is higher than that in pure crystals. In addition, two distinct patterns in bleaching process up to 30 minutes results in a fast increase in the sulphide fraction and then the sulphide levels off to a slowly increasing region upon prolonged bleaching. A detailed description on the distribution of $^{35}$ S valence states will be made in connection with point defects in the crystals.

In chlorine dioxide delignigication or bleaching, chlorate is mainly formed by the reaction between chlorite and hypochlorous acid, thus scavengers of chlorine or hypochlorous acid can be used to reduce the formation of chlorate which is unfavorable to environment. In this study, additives such as sulfamic acid, DMSO, hydrogen peroxide, or sodium chlorite was added to chlorine solution or pure $ClO_2$ solution to check their reactivity with $Cl_2$ and $ClO_2$. These additives were also added directly into general $ClO_2$ solution which contained certain amount of chlorine, then the additive-treated $ClO_2$ solution were used in bleaching stages. The aim of this procedure was to remove the original amount of chlorine that was thought to be possibly the main reason for the formation of chlorate and AOX. The additives were found to be able to eliminate chlorine very fast and selectively, but $H_2$ $O_2$ should be used under pH4, otherwise it also reacts with $ClO_2$. After the additives reacted With $Cl_2$, DMSO turned into an inactive product $(CH_3)_2SO_2$, While Sulfamic acid turned into $HClSO_3H$ that still remained active in oxidation, and $NaClO_2$ produced $ClO_2$. The addition of $HNaClO_2$ showed significant improvement in delignification but the deeper delignification led to higher formation of chlorate. When the additive-treated chlorine dioxide solutions were used in bleaching, both sulfamic acid, DMSO, and hydrogen peroxide showed no significant changes of DE brightness and Kappa number. The formation of chlorate was reduced by addition of sulfamic acid, DMSO and hydrogen peroxide.

We have developed photosensitive electrochromic smart windows that does not require any transparent conducting oxide (TCO) substrate. In our previous study, we demonstrated that a flexible film-type device made with a low temperature curing WO₃ sol and TiO₂ sol could show a reversible and rapid switching between colored and bleached state via incorporation of platinum catalysts on the surface of WO₃ layer. However, when these devices were exposed to sunlight over 4 hour, it was confirmed that they did not return to fully bleached state in the darkened state due to their overcoloring process. In this study, we added 4-hydroxy-(2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-yl)oxyl (TEMPOL) as an additive to the electrolyte of photosensitive electrochromic device to effectively prevent the undesired overcoloring process. The resulting device with TEMPOL indeed did not undergo excessive coloration and showed great reversibility even after being exposed to sunlight for over 4 hours. Various concentrations of TEMPOL were applied to compare changes in the visible transmittance and coloring/bleaching kinetics of devices. In terms of energetic point of view, we proposed a plausible mechanism of TEMPOL to prevent excessive coloration.

In this thesis, Lohmann's algorithm and FFT (fast Fourier transform) are used to synthesize binary-phase holograms. FFT computing is carried out for the calculation of complex wavefronts of $128{\times}128$ sampling points of an object that is numerically specified. Then using the Lohmann's algorithm, the amplitude and the phase of complex wavefronts are encoded in binary holograms on each sampling points. PC (personal computer) and laser printer are used to plot binary-phase holograms and CGH (computer generated holograms) films are obtained from this plot by photographic reduction. Holographic images of numerically specified objects are reconstructed from the He-Ne laser and the inverse Fourier optics system. We estimate the quality of holographic images according to the sampling number, application of random phase, amplitude clipping and bleaching the CGH film. We derive optimized conditions to reconstruct better holographic images and to reduce the speckle noise. FFT and Lohmann's algorithm are implemented with MS Visual BASIC 6.0 for the programming of binary-phase hologram.
