As an alternative method to solve air pollution problem and difficulty of pulp bleaching of kraft pulping process, NaOH-Urea pulping was applied. The properties of NaOH-Urea pulp were compared to those of NaOH and kraft pulps. Addition of urea in low alkali charges retarded delignification rate compared to NaOH pulping. But, in high alkali application, delignification was significantly enhanced not from the addition of urea but from the high alkalinity. It was disclosed that urea did not participate on delignification reaction by the experiment using lignin model compound. Compared to paper strengths at the same level of sheet density, NaOH-Urea pulp gave as almost same breaking length and tensile index as those of kraft pulp. Especially tensile energy absorption and burst index were higher than those of kraft pulp.

The objective of this study was to examine the impact of pruning (P treatment) and transplanting (T treatment) of Acer palmatum on cambial growth and compartmentalization of pruning wounds for one year after treatments. Changes of cambial electrical resistance (CER), sizes of pruning wounds, cambial growth of trunks and stems near the wounds, and total phenols at branch unions during the period were examined using a total of 49 trees. After harvesting, areas of discolored wood behind the wounds, relative proportions of extractives, holocellulose and lignin at branch unions were also determined. CER and the cambial growth of trunk at 30 cm above the ground (TGR) were inversely correlated, and differences of CER and TGR among three treatments were significant. TGRs of control, P treatment and P+T treatment after the treatments were 112.2%, 72.4% and 52.5% of the annual growth for the year before the treatments, respectively. The cambial growth rate of stem (SGR) at 1.5 cm above the branch bark ridge and the closure rate of pruning wound (WCR) for one year after treatments were positively correlated, and WCR of P treatment of 39.8% was significantly higher than that of P+T treatment of 31.8%. Wounds of P+T treatment formed greater discolored area per unit area of pruning wound (D/W Ratio) than those of P treatment significantly. Lower WCR and higher D/W Ratio of P+T treatment suggested less ability of compartmentalizing the wounds than P treatment. Total phenols at branch core of pruning wound for both treatments heightened a month after treatment, and then lowered. The contents at below core of the wound were higher than those at control ones continuously, while they became similar each other at above core. Relatively high phenol contents of the extractives at P+T treatment implied that trees with P+T treatment allocated more energy to compartmentalize their wounds. Holocellulose and lignin contents at the branch core of treated branch unions of both treatments were lower and higher, respectively, than at the same part of the union with living branch, as results of the tree reaction to protection from wounding and microbial invasion.

Pretreatment of cellulosic biomass is necessary before enzymatic saccharification and fermentation. Extrusion is a well established process in food industries and it can be used as a physicochemical treatment method for cellulosic biomass. Aqueous ammonia soaking treatment at mild temperatures ranging from 60 to $80^{\circ}C$ for longer reaction times has been used to preserve most of the cellulose and hemicellulose in the biomass. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of extrusion treatment on aqueous ammonia soaking method. Extrusion was performed with miscanthus sample conditioned to 2mm of particle size and 20% of moisture content at $200^{\circ}C$ of barrel temperature and 175rpm of screw speed. And then aqueous ammonia soaking was performed with 15%(w/w) ammonia solution at $60^{\circ}C$ for 1, 2, 4, 8, 12 hours on the extruded and raw miscanthus samples respectively. In the combined extrusion-soaking treatment, most compositions removal occurred within 1~2 hours and on a basis of 1 hour soaking treatment values, cellulose was recovered about 85% and other compositions, including hemicellulose, are removed about 50% from extruded miscanthus sample. The combined extrusion-soaking treated and soaking only treated samples were subjected to enzymatic hydrolysis using cellulase and ${\beta}$-glucosidase. The enzymatic digestibility value of combined extrusion-2 hours soaking treated sample was comparable to 12 hours soaking only treated sample. It means that extrusion treatment can shorten the conventional long reaction time of aqueous ammonia soaking. The findings suggest that the combination of extrusion and soaking is a promising pretreatment method to solve both problems for no lignin removal of extrusion and long reaction time of aqueous ammonia soaking.

TFormic acid-hydrogen peroxide (or performic acid) pulping process needs milder reaction condition than other chemical pulping process. Two-step formic acid-hydrogen peroxide pulping process can produce the chemical pulp with similar pulp yield and lignin content compared with soda-anthraquinone process. Formic acid-hydrogen peroxide pulp can be produced less xylan content than other alkaline pulps, which favor for dissolving pulp production. Formic acid-hydrogen peroxide pulp showed better response beating than soda-anthraquinone(AQ) pulps with reaching target freeness with less beating. Also, formic acid-hydrogen peroxide pulp had better tensile index at similar freeness level compared with soda-AQ pulps.

This research was to investigate the polyester preparation using waste ethylene glycol (EG) generated from the wastepaper pretreatment process. Waste EG was obtained from using EG five times repeatedly in the pretreatment of wastepaper. The hydroxyl value of the waste EG was 441 mg KOH/g and its composition was 0.68% cellulose, 6.5% hemicellulose, 6.1% lignin, and 86.7% EG. Maleic acid was used as carboxylic acid. The effect of reaction temperature and time except carboxyl group/hydroxyl group ratio on the crosslinkage of the prepared polyester was marginal. Citric acid, lithium hydroxide and dicumyl peroxide were used as additive or catalyst to enhance the crosslinkage of polyester. Among them, 10% of citric acid was found to be most effective. The crosslinkage was 86% when the polyester was prepared at an optimum condition such as $130^{\circ}C$ and 15 minutes, 1.5 of C/H ratio, and 10% of citric acid, and its insoluble percentage in boiling water for 6 hours was 47%. The weight loss of the prepared polyester was approximately 40% when it was buried in damp soil for 5 months, indicating that it is readily biodegradable. This results can provide some information for future development of wastepaper pretreatment by organic solvent.

Chopped wheat straw (0.5-1.5 cm) was subjected to different treatment combinations in a $5{\times}4$ factorial arrangement involving the five levels of urea (0, 2, 3, 4 and 5%, w/w) and four levels of lime (0, 2, 4 and 6%, w/w) at 50% moisture and kept for 3 wk reaction period at about $35{^{\circ}C}$ in laboratory. Treated wheat straw samples were analyzed to study the associative effect of urea and lime on chemical composition, in sacco and in vitro digestibilities. Results showed that cell wall constituents (CWC) solubilized significantly (p<0.01) due to urea and lime treatment on one hand and substantially increase the crude protein (CP) on the other in wheat straw. The main effect on synergism of both chemicals was noticed on organic matter (OM), neutral detergent fibre (NDF), hemicellulose (HC), acid detergent lignin (ADL) and silica by solubilising their contents as a result of considerable increase in cell contents in treated wheat straw. The respective decreases were 5.45, 13.0, 37.23, 44.95 and 26.16% in different treatment combinations. The most interesting feature of the treatment was evident by increase in ash content on each level of lime application. CP content increase up to 12.78% due to urea treatment in comparison with untreated wheat straw (2.56%). The effect of solubilization of structural carbohydrates and increased crude protein due to synergistic effect of urea and lime were clearly seen on improved digestibility of OM and DM. The increase in ISOMD, ISDMD, and IVDMD were 21.67, 21.67, 16.24, and 17.5 units. The increase in digestibility were relative to additions of both chemicals and digestibility values increased with increasing levels of urea plus lime concentration in different treatment combination. The maximum improvement was noticed at 4% urea and 4% lime levels at 50% moisture for 3 wk reaction period in treated wheat straw.

In chlorine dioxide delignification and bleaching the formation of chlorate is undesirable because it does not react with lignin and is harmful to the environment. Chlorate is mainly formed from the in-situ generated hypochlorus acid which is also the main reason for AOX formation. In previous literature scavengers of hypochlorous acid such as sulfamic aicd, DMSO, and hydrogen peroxide have been added to bleaching stages to reduce AOX formation but less attention has been paid to chlorate reduction. This paper thus focuses on the reduction of chlorate content caused by the following additives, sulfamic acid, DMSO, hydrogen peroxide, and oxalic acid. The results show that only sulfamic acid and DMSO reduce chlorate formation under our chlorine dioxide prebleaching conditions. Results by UV spectroscopy and pH adjustment show that scavengers react with hypochlorous acid much faster than with chlorine. Hydrogen peroxide and oxalic acid react with HClO/$Cl_2$much slower than DMSO and sulfamic acid do. The reason for the ineffectiveness of hydrogen peroxide and oxalic acid is ascribed to their slow reaction rates with HClO compared to that of chlorate formation. The fact that only 30-35% of the chlorate can be reduced by sulfamic acid and DMSO when charged in same mole ratio to chlorine dioxide, suggested that the reaction rate of DMSO and sulfamic acid with hypochlorous aicd are of the same magnitude as that of chlorate formation.

참나무의 전처리에 과산화수소가 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 반응온도는 $170^{\circ}C$이고 전처리에 사용된 반응용액은 암모니아, 황산 그리고 순수 물이었다.10% 암모니아용액을 사용한 경우 산을 사용하는 경우에 비해 리그닌 제거율은 55%로 상당히 높았지만 헤미셀룰로오스 회수율은 26%로 상당히 낮았다. 그래서 헤미셀룰로오스 회수율을 높이기 위해 암모니아 용액에 산화제인 과산화수소를 첨가하여 반응시켰는데 과산화수소 첨가량의 증가에 따라 리그닌 제거율과 헤미셀룰로오스 회수율의 증가는 크지 않았다. 그리고 과산화수소 첨가량의 증가에 따라 액상으로 용해된 당의 분해가 증가하여 전체 헤미셀룰로오스와 셀룰로오스의 물질수지에 문제가 있었다. 반응기에 주입된 과산화수소는 주로 반응기의 전반부에 충진된 기질과 반응하는 것으로 나타났다. 헤미셀룰로오스 회수율을 높이기 위해서는 알카리용액보다 산성용액에서 기질을 전처리하는 것이 필요하였고 산보다는 물을 사용하였을 때 과산화수소의 효과가 더 컸다.

유동층반응기에서 바이오매스 급속 열분해의 모델화를 통해 열분해로부터 발생되는 바이오오일(Bio-oil) 및 비응축 가스(Non-condensable gas) 성분의 예측과, 이를 통한 수율 향상을 목표로 한다. 본 연구의 목적은 유동층반응기 내부에 투입된 바이오매스가 급속 열분해되는 동안 발생되는 생성물의 수율 예측과 실험 및 시뮬레이션 값을 비교 및 분석하는 것이다. 급속 열분해의 시뮬레이션을 위해 전산유체역학(Computational Fluid Dynamics, CFD) 프로그램이 사용되었으며, 바이오매스의 급속 열분해의 시뮬레이션을 위해 바이오매스 하위 구성 성분의 상세한 열분해 반응 경로가 적용되었다. 이 열분해 반응은 세부적으로 셀룰로오스(Cellulose), 헤미셀룰로오스(Hemicellulose) 및 리그닌(Lignin)의 반응을 포함하고 있으며, 열분해로부터 발생되는 주요 가스 성분은 이산화탄소($CO_2$), 일산화탄소(CO), 메탄($CH_4$), 수소($H_2$), 에틸렌($C_2H_4$)이다. 본 모델의 예측치와 기존 문헌(Mellin et al., 2014)의 실험 및 시뮬레이션 결과를 비교하였으며, 그 결과, $CH_4$, $H_2$ 및 $C_2H_4$의 경우, 각각 3.7%p, 4.6%p 및 3.9%p로 비교적 일치하게 예측되었지만, $CO_2$ 및 CO의 경우, 각각 9.6%p 및 6.7%p로 높게 예측되었다. 이러한 차이가 발생하는 이유는 이차 열분해 반응에서의 세부 반응조건에 해당되는 각각의 인자의 부재에 기인한 것으로 판단된다. 연구 결과, 시뮬레이션을 통한 모델화 접근이 가능한 것으로 판단되며, 추후에 연구된 모델화를 통해 바이오오일 및 기타 성분들의 예측도 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구에서는 옥살산 전처리 바이오매스의 액상가수분해산물에 포함된 발효저해물질을 전기투석과 XAD 수지 처리하여 제거한 후 에탄올을 생산하였다. 전기투석 과정에서 아세트산은 대부분 제거되었으며(95.6%), 비이온성 발효저해물질(Total phenolic compound: TPC, 5-hydroxymethyl furfural: HMF, furfural)은 XAD 수지 처리에 의해 효과적으로 제거되었다. 전기투석과 XAD 수지 처리된 액상가수분해산물로 발효를 수행한 결과 XAD 수지의 침지시간이 짧을수록 에탄올 생산이 향상되었다. 최대 에탄올 생산은 발효 72시간 후 $6.16g/{\ell}$로 전기투석 후 액상가수분해산물을 XAD-4 수지에서 5분 침지하였을 때 나타났다. 리그닌 유래 발효저해물질 중 syringaldehyde는 저농도(1 mM, 2 mM)에서 에탄올 생산을 향상시켰으며 5 mM에서는 발효에 부정적인 영향을 주었다. 리그닌 유래 발효저해물질의 시너지 효과를 확인하고자 합성배지로 발효를 수행하였으며, Syringaldehyde (1 mM)와 ferulic acid (1 mM) 합성배지를 이용하여 발효를 수행한 결과 syringaldehyde보다 ferulic acid의 영향으로 에탄올 생산이 감소했다.
