The base paper of corrugated board is mainly produced from Korean old corrugated container (KOCC), and thus the recycling rate of KOCC is very high. However, there is a problem that the pulp quality is very low while the recycling rate of OCC is high. The fines content in KOCC, the main source of the corrugated board, amounts to nearly the half of the total stock, and its formation increases as recycling process repeats due to the hornification of fiber. There have been attempts to improve the drainage property of OCC by increasing the headbox concentration of the paper machine or by applying drainage-promoting polymer additives. However, these conventional methods have problems of weakened paper strength and lowered converting fitness caused by paper formation hindrance. The strength of linerboard could not be increased in case KOCC is used, because hornified OCC pulp can-not be sufficiently refined due to the lowered drainage property caused by fines formation. We studied about a new technique consisting of froth-flotation for fractionating pulp stock into a long fiber portion and fines fraction. This study will be developed in order to enhance the drainage and strength properties of a recycled OCC pulp by selective treatment of flocculant on fractionated OCC Fines.

Impurities removal from waste carbon black was carried out to produce high-grade carbon black. A lot of hydrophilic carbon black is produced as a byproduct of the hydrogen production process by flame decomposition of water. Due to its impurity content such as sulphur, iron, ash and etc., it can only be used as low-grade carbon or burnt out. High-grade hydrophilic carbon black is 3-5 times more expensive than oil-based carbon black because of its process difficulties and requires pollutant treatment. Hydrophilic carbon is normally used far conductive materials for batteries, pigment for plastics, electric wire covering, additives for rubber, etc.. In these applications, hydrophilic carbon must maintain its high purity. In this study magnetic separation, froth flotation and ultrasonic treatment were employed to remove impurities from the low-grade hydrophilic carbon black. As results, the ash, iron and sulphur content of product decreased to less than 0.01wt.%, 0.0lwt.% and 0.3wt.% respectively, and the surface area of product was about 930 $m^2$/g.

Electro-thermal production of white phosphorus(WP, P4) generates substantial amount of highly toxic phossy water and sludges. Because of their high phosphorus contents and lack of reliable processing technology, large tonnages of these hazardous wastes have accumulated from current and past operations in the United States. In this study, two different methods for treatment of phosphorus sludge were investigated. These were bulk removal of WP by physical separation(froth flotation) and transformation of WP to oxyphosphorus compounds by air oxidation in the sludge medium. Kerosene, among other collectors, resulted in selective flotation of WP from the associated mineral gangue. Solvent action of kerosene occurring on the WP surface(by rendering WP particles hydrophobic) might produce the high selectivity of WP. The WP recovery in the froth was 79.3% from a sludge assaying 34.2% of WP. In the oxidation study, air gas was dispersed in the sludge medium by the rapid rotation of the impeller blades. The high level of sludge agitation intensity caused a fast completion of the oxidation reactions and it resulted in the high percentage conversion of WP to PO4-3 with PO3-3 making up almost all portion of oxyphosphorus compounds. The WP analysis on the treated sludge showed that supernatant solution and solid residue contained an average of 4.2 μg/L and 143 ppm respectively from the sludge containing about 26 g of WP. Further investigation will be required on operational factors to better understand the processes and achieve an optimum condition.

국내 석탄발전소에서 배출되고 있는 비산회의 재활용에 가장 큰 문제점은 비산화에 혼입되어 있는 미연탄소분이다. 본 연구는 기존 포말부유선광법으로 유연탄비산회의 미연탄소분을 제거할 때 기포제종류 및 첨가량의 영향, 포집제 첨가량의 영향을 실험하고, 여기에서 수율, 회수율, 미연분제거율, 공정효율을 구하였다. 또한 비산회정제 전후의 화학적 성분을 분석하여 성분변화를 확인하였다. 실험결과는 유연탄 비산회 중의 미연탄소분을 92.4%까지 제거할 수 있었으며, 그 결과 비산회의 순도를 99.4%까지 높일 수 있었다.

The effect of a rhamnolipid biosurfactant produced by a Pseudomonas aeruginosa MA01 strain on desulfurization of iron concentrates was studied. Surface tension measurement and frothing characterization indicated better surface activity and frothability of rhamnolipid compared to methyl isobutyl carbinol (MIBC) as an operating frother. Reverse flotation tests using rhamnolipid either as a sole frother or mixed with MIBC, showed that the desulfurization process is more efficient at pH 4.5 and high concentration of rhamnolipid in the presence of MIBC. However, under these conditions water recovery decreased due to the change in rhamnolipid aggregates morphology. Results from the present study seemed promising to introduce the biosurfactant from Pseudomonas aeruginosa as a new frother.

Natural graphite is obtained from an abandoned open-cast mine and purified by a simple, eco-friendly and affordable beneficiation process including ball milling and flotation process. Both raw graphite (55 wt %) and its concentrate (85 wt %) were electrochemically tested in order to evaluate these materials as anode materials for Li-ion and Na-ion batteries. It was found that both raw and purified graphites exhibit good electrochemical activities with respect to lithium and sodium ions through completely different reaction mechanisms. The encouraging results demonstrated in this work suggest that both raw and graphite concentrates after flotation could be used respectively for stationary and embedded applications. This strategy would help in developing local electrical storage systems with a significantly low environmental footprint.

Demands of thermal recording paper have been increased significantly by increase in usage of invoice, fax, and label. Thermal recording paper was mainly made based on virgin fiber. It is necessary to find a suitable alternative to virgin fiber in terms of environment protectional resources conservation. In this paper, deinking properties of different recovered papers were analyzed in order to use the recovered paper as raw material of thermal recording paper. Recovered paper were ONP, OMG and white ledger. Flotation reject of OMG was high because inorganic pigments in coating layer could be removed by upstream of froth. Brightness of white ledger and OMG were much higher than that of ONP. Therefore, properties of pulp made from the recovered paper could be enhanced with increase in blending ratio of white ledger and OMG. However, blending ratio of OMG caused the increase of flotation reject. Consequently, the optimum blending ratio of ONP, OMG, and white ledger was 3:3:3 for eco-friendly thermal recording paper. Under the condition, brightness was about 70% and ERIC was below 300 ppm.

플라이애시의 부유선별 과정에서 교반속도와 공기주입량과 같은 기계적 요소 변화에 따른 영향을 알아보고자 본 연구를 실시하였다. 본 연구에서는 미연탄소 함량이 약 3.4 ~ 3.7% 수준인 화력발전소 플라이애시를 사용하였다. 대표적인 부유선별의 선별 요소인 pH, 교반속도, 포수제 첨가량, 기포제 첨가량 변화에 따른 영향을 살펴보았을 때, Safflower oil을 포수제로 사용하여 첨가량을 800 g/ton, pH 7, 교반속도 1,200 rpm, 기포제 첨가량이 400 g/ton였을 때, 미연탄소 회수율과 미연탄소 함량이 각각 63%, 34%로 나타났다. 이 때 부상물 SEM/EDS 분석을 통해 알아본 결과, 구형의 플라이애시 미립자가 미연탄소 내에 고용되거나, 광액 내에 가라앉지 못하고 기포와 함께 부유함으로써 미연탄소의 함량을 낮추는 것으로 나타났다. 교반속도와 공기주입량과 같은 기계적 요소를 변화시킨 실험에서는 공기주입량 8L/min, 교반 속도 900 rpm에서 미연탄소 회수율 74%, 미연탄소 함량 67%인 것으로 나타났다. 이는 낮은 교반속도와 추가 공기주입으로 인하여 광액 내 와류의 강도가 낮아져, 미립의 플라이애시 입자가 미연탄소와 함께 부유되는 현상을 방지됨으로써, 미연탄소 회수율과 미연탄소 함량이 향상된 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 교반속도와 공기주입량을 각각 800 rpm, 6 L/min으로 설정하였을 때 미연탄소 회수율과 미연탄소 탄소함량이 각각 80%, 70%로 향상되어 가장 우수한 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구에서는 석탄 광산배수에 함유된 중금속을 부유선별로 제거하기에 앞서 부유선별 조건에 영향을 미치는 철, 망간, 알루미늄 이온의 침전특성을 알아보았다. Fe(III), Mn(II), Al(III) 이온을 NaOH와 반응시켜 1 h 동안 침전시키면 Fe(III)은 pH 5.0 이상에서, Mn(II)은 pH 10.0 이상에서 그리고 Al(III)은 pH $6.0{\sim}9.0$의 범위에서 대부분 침전되어 여액에 $1.0mgL^{-1}$ 이하로 잔류되었다. Fe(III), Mn(II), Al(III)의 혼합 용액에 포수제인 올레인산나트륨을 첨가하였을 경우, 각각의 중금속 이온은 올레인산나트륨과 반응하여 불용성 염을 거의 형성하지 않았기 때문에 침전 부선법으로 광산배수에 함유된 중금속을 제거해야 하는 것으로 나타났다.
