The objective of this study was to investigate the beating properties of two types of cotton pulps such as "cotton lint mixed pulp" and "cotton linter pulp". In order to improve refining characteristics, the effects of carboxymethyl-cellulose (CMC) pre-treatment, mixing ratio changes of cotton lint mixed pulp and cotton linter pulp, and refining load changes were analyzed. In mill application, it was possible to improve the refining characteristics and maintained the strength properties of the paper by applying increasing ratio of cotton linter pulp mixing and controlling the refining methods.
