A kraft recovery boiler produces steam for power generation by the combustion of black liquor from the kraft pulping process. Since saturated steam became superheated in a superheater above the furnace, it is important to increase the heat exchange efficiency for the superheated steam production and power generation. A nose arch at the bottom of the superheater is important for blocking radiation from the furnace which causes corrosion of the superheater. But the nose arch is the main reason for creating a recirculation region and then decreasing the heat exchange efficiency by holding cold flue gas after the heat transfer to saturated steam. In this study, the size of recirculation region and the temperature of flue gas at the outlet were analyzed by the nose arch structure using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). As a result, when the nose arch angle changed from 106.5° (case 1) to 150° (case4), the recirculation region of flue gas decreased and the heat exchange efficiency between the flue gas and the steam increased by 10.3%.

Tensile energy absorption in paper has long been measured as the area under the load-elongation curve. Little effort has been made to define where and how that energy is used within the paper itself. Characterization of tensile energy absorption in paper is discussed. Multiple small elements within newsprint and kraft sack have been defined and the energy absorbed in those elements are discussed. The tensile profiles of the weak paper, newsprint, and the tough paper, kraft sack, are presented as separate strain profiles, stress profiles, and strain energy density profiles. This allows a complete analysis of the energy absorption of both papers for comparison or contrast.

Variations in hexeneuronic acid content in hardwood alkaline pulps were investigated to evaluate their contribution to kappa number. Out of diverse chemical pulps the highest hexeneuronic acid content were measured in yellow poplar kraft pulping, which was assumed to enhance ca. 7.0 of kappa number determined by acid permanganate consumption. In yellow poplar soda-anthraquinone pulping, hexeneuornic acid was contributed to increment of 5.0-6.0 kappa number. In eucalyptus alkaline pulping, hexeneuronic acid content was not significantly different from soda-anthraquinone pulping. Increment of Kappa number by hexeneuronic acid was 4.5-5.6 depending on pulping method and pulping time at target temperature.

Kraft Lignin which is produced abundantly in pulp industry, was chemically degraded into small oligomers and polymerized using horseradish peroxidase. Lignin acidolysis was optimized by controlling reaction time and HCI concentration. Acidolyzed lignin was polymerized and copolymers of acidolyzed lignin and phenol or p-cresol were synthesized. 70% of kraft lignin was degraded after acidolysis. Number average molecular weight of all lignin polymers were from 8,500 to 14,000 and did not show large difference. Differential scanning calorimeter analysis showed that acidolyzed lignin did not show any melting temparature under $300^{\circ}C$, which indicates that newly synthesized lignin polymers can be used in industry under mild condition.

The primary insulation system used in an oil-filled transformer is Kraft paper, wood, porcelain and, of course, oil. Modern transformers use paper that is chemically treated to improve its tensile strength properties and resistance to aging caused by immersion in oil. These insulation papers are mainly aged to thermal stress. Over the course of the insulation paper and oil's life it is exposed to high temperatures, oxygen and water. Its interaction with the steel of the tank and core plus the copper and aluminium of the windings will eventually cause the chemical properties of the oil to decay. High temperature have an effect on mechanical strength of cellulous paper using the layer insulation. We made two aging cell in which thermal aging tests of insulation papers and mineral oil are conducted. It is measured dielectric strength, number of acid, moisture, etc. of insulation paper and oil aged in the aging cells.

High-yield Pinus radiate kraft pulps with various Kappa number were produced from flow-through laboratory pulping. The samples were prepared and scanned using a rapid scan photoacoustic Fourier transform infrared (PAS-FTIR) spectrometer. A partial-least-squares (PLS) model was established based on the spectral data collected at different mirror velocities. The model was used to predict the Kappa number of the pulps and its robustness was statistically evaluated. The outcomes indicate that the PLS model can be used to predict the Kappa number of Pinus radiata kraft pulps with a high degree of accuracy provided that the moving mirror velocity is ${\leq}\;0.5cm/s$.

In pulp and papermaking process, enzymatic treatment of pulp fibres has been a topic of increasing interest in last decade. Lots of patents, papers and research reports were published on the application of enzymes in the fields of enzymatic bleaching, deinking, slime control, pitch control, waste water treatment and fibre modification. Cellulase and hemicellulase are the principal enzymes used for the modification of fibre property. This study was carried out for determinating the behaviors of enzyme to pulp fibres. A commercial enzyme, Denimax BT which is consisted with cellulase and hemicellulase, was treated to the kraft pulp produced from domestic hardwood mixtures. Results were mainly concentrated on the behaviors of freeness, drainability and fines content of fibres, and physical properties of paper with enzyme treatment. The freeness levels and dewatering ability were developed, and the fines contents were decreased. The creation of fines were controlled by the method of pre-enzyme treatment prior to fibre beating. The mechanical strength of paper, like tensile, burst, tear strength and folding endurance, were remarkably improved by the pre-enzyme treatment.
