The reduction of the energy consumption in papermaking process become more important issue because of the regulation of green house gas (GHG) emission. Since more than half of energy for papermaking process is consumed during drying process, the increase of the drying efficiency would be very important solution for saving energy and reduction of GHG emission. The improvement of drying efficiency could be very difficult for the liner board mill because the liner board are usually made of recycled paper, OCC (old corrugated container). The short fiber and fines originated the OCC lead to compact sheet structure and delay the water flow out during wet pressing process and drying process. The application of lignocellulose spacer could provide more loose wet sheet structure and result in the higher drainage rate and the improved drying efficiency. In this study, the effects of the application of lignocellulose spacer to the liner board mill were evaluated based on the mill trial. In order to overcome the common disadvantage of the spacer, the loss of strength properties, the spacer was pretreated with amphoteric polyelectrolyte during mill trial. The results showed the application of pretreated spacer improved the drying efficiency by reducing steam consumption. And the loss in the strength properties by the spacer could be supplemented by the pretreatment.

A mill trial was performed in a kraft paper mill in order to evaluate the possibility of utilizing dual polymer dry strength aids system consisting of cationic PVAm and anionic PAM. It was found that the cationic PVAm - anionic PAM dry strength additives can improve paper strength without significantly disturbing the stability of the kraft papermaking process when virgin UKP was used as a furnish. Tensile strength (25.3% in machine direction, 48.4% in cross machine direction), elongation of paper (31.6%, 15.6%) and tensile energy absorption (48%, 54%) were improved. Air permeability of the kraft paper was improved as well (22%). Tear strength was decreased with PVAm dry strength aids system, but it can be compensated with decreasing refining degree. In addition, the mill trial results indicate that highly air permeable kraft sack paper can be produced by the addition of PVAm dry strength agents at the stock with reduced freeness.

In the previous study, we investigated the physical properties of new organic fillers made from major agricultural byproducts, including rice husks, peanut husks and garlic stems, and we estimated that rice husk was the best candidate for use as new organic fillers in paperboard. In this study, an organic filler prototype was produced with rice husk and the mill trials were carried out in a white liner chipboard (duplexboard) mill. The rice husk organic filler was added to the middle ply of SC $350g/m^2$ to determine the optimal conditions for the manufacture of rice husk organic fillers. The mill trials were performed three times and the bulk improvement and drying energy reduction were measured to identify the functionality of the rice husk organic filler compared to that of the commercial wood powder. In the first mill trial, the test failed because the surface roughness of the duplexboard had deteriorated after the rice husk organic filler was added to the OCC stock. As all of the particles remaining on the 60 mesh sieves were removed and the particle size was decreased by increasing the length of the grinding process, the surface roughness of the duplexboard did not be deteriorated in the second mill trial. However, the bulk improvement and drying energy reduction were not observed. In the final mill trial, as the particle size of the rice husk organic filler was controlled by increasing the portion of particles passing through the 60 mesh sieves and remaining 100 mesh sieves, higher bulk improvement and drying energy reduction were acquired compared to the commercial wood powder.

Recent worldwide trends are to develop the environmental friendly chemicals and processes in order to reduce the global warming and climate change phenomena. One of similar efforts in paper industry is to substitute the petroleum-based SBR latex by starch-based biobinder. The disadvantage of biobinder found through laboratory scale study was the lower dry pick strength than SBR latex. The objective of this study is to confirm the substitutability of SBR latex with biobinder through mill trial. Although biobinder itself gave lower dry pick strength, it was found that the use of SBR latex and biobinder mixture (50:50) could improve the dry pick strength. The introduction of biobinder into coating binder system improved the opacity of coated paper. Optical properties (brightness and whiteness), ink trapping, print gloss and mottling level of paper coated with biobinder system were similar to those of SBR latex.

사이즈 프레스용 전분은 주로 산화전분이 이용되고 있으며, 전분업체에서 공급되는 것과 제지공장에서 자가변성으로 제조하여 이용하는 것으로 나눌 수 있다. 자가변성의 경우 경제적 측면에서 원가절감이 가능한 장점이 있는 반면 전분 품질이 다소 미흡한 단점이 있다. 자가변성 산화제로는 APSCAmmonium persulfate), 효소 등이 이용된다. 효소는 APS에 비해 전분 분자 내의 1,4결합만을 가수분해 시키고 점도안정성과 전분 용액 색상이 양호한 특성을 보인다. 또한 온도/농도/점도 등의 상관성을 자유롭게 이용하여 요구하는 전분 용액 품질을 얻을 수 있다. 제지용 전분 산화용으로는 주로 알파 -아밀라아제가 이용된다.본 실험은 산화전분을 효소변성을 이용한 생전분으로 가능성을 알아보고자 진행되었다. 일차적으로 실험실에서 하였고, 몇 차례의 mill trial을 통해 효소변성 전분 적용을 최적화하고자 하였다. 실험실적으로 효소변성을 위한 반응조건으로 온도, 시간, pH, 투입량 등을 설정하였 고, 각 조건별로 제조된 전분 용액의 점도를 측정하여 효소 반응성을 평가하였다. 실험 결과 전분 용액의 점도는 낮았고, 점도 안정성 또한 양호한 수준을 보였다. Cooking농 도는 20%로 하였으나 보다 고농도 cooking의 가능성을 확인할 수 있었다. 시트 물성도 전반적으로 산화전분 대비 대등한 수준을 나타내었다. Mill trial은 무림제지에서 실시하였고 사이즈 프레스 조제식을 이용하였다. 전분 농도는 초기에 20%로 시작하여 30%까지 올려서 trial을 실시하 였고, 그 외 작업조건들은 산화전분 적용 시와 동일하게 하였다. 효소 반응시간으로 인해 cooking시간이 다소 많이 걸렸으나 전반적인 조제 작업은 큰 문제 없이 이루어졌고, 효소변성 전분 용액의 점도는 낮은 수준으로 유지되었다. 사이즈 프레스 작업성이나 시 트 물성도 산화전분 적용 시와 대등한 수준을 보였으나, 전분 차이로 인한 색상 차이로 부가적인 염료 조정이 이루어졌다. 한편 폐수부하 증가를 우려하였으나, 이에 따른 문제는 크게 발생되지 않았다.

The high speed machining center(HMC) has been widely applied to manufacture a die and trial product in many machine industry. Because the evaluation fer the HMC is not sufficiently performed and the efficient cutting conditions aren't selected, a great loss has been caused in the cost aspect. In this study, the need of preliminary running time and unstable spindle speed is presented from the analysis of acceleration in idling. The Machinability fur the TiAlN coated flat end mill and STD11( $H_{R}$C60) is evaluated from the trends of tool wear and cutting force according to cutting conditions and slenderness ratio and a low response of tool dynamometer in high speed is proved. The resonance spindle speed is identified through the tool wear and natural frequency test.t.

This study was conducted to develop a functional feed additive for pig with spent $Lycium$ $chinense$ Mill fruit. We investigated the optimum conditions for the extraction of polyphenol from spent $Lycium$ $chinense$ Mill using methanol. Methanol concentration as a solvent for extraction, extraction time and the volume of solvent per a gram of solid (ground spent Lyceum chinense Mill) were selected as parameters. Three levels of parameters were configured according to Box Behnken experiment design, a fractional factorial design, and total 15 trials were employed. Total polyphenol concentration from each trial was used as response from experiment system and effects of parameters on total polyphenol extraction efficiency were determined using response surface model. As a result, all terms in analysis of variance, regression ($p$ = 0.001), linear ($p$ = 0.002), square ($p$ = 0.017) and interaction ($p$ = 0.047) was significant and adjusted determination coefficient ($R^2$) was 94.7%. Total polyphenol extraction efficiency was elevated along increased methanol content and decreased solvent to solid ratio. However extraction time did not affect the efficiency. This study provides a primary information for the optimum extraction conditions to maximize total polyphenol recovery from spent Lycium chinens Mill fruit and this result could be applied to re-use of argo-industrial by-products and to develop of functional feed additives in organic farming.

Generally, paper multilayering was performed before wet pressing process. However, sheets whose characteristics are different could be put together at the dry state by adhesives for the specialty paper products. In this paper, potential adhesives such as PVAc, oxidised starch, latex, and PVA were chosen and multilayering of several sheets was performed in laboratory scale. The effects of base paper properties and the composition of adhesives on the physical properties of multilayering paper were investigated. Physical properties such as bonding strength and stiffness were measured. For the practical reasons, mill trial was also executed. According to the result of laboratory tests and mill trial test, the physical properties of multilayered paper were greatly affected by the composition of adhesives and it was found that PVAc showed the best performance in all its aspects among four adhesives. Oxidised starch had an advantage of high stiffness and PVA gave high bonding strength to the multilayered paper. And it was also found that the properties of base paper showed the great influences not only on multilayering process, but also on the physical properties of the multilayered paper.

Stiff competition and skyrocketing prices of raw materials are increasingly demanding the optimal design and operation of iron and steel mills minimizing trial and error. Computer simulation can provide the methodology in accordance with requirements. The purpose of this paper is to suggest a simulator for the design and operation of the steelmaking and continuous casting mill. The simulator was developed using Arena, popular simulation software and input and output interface based on MS Excel. It allows easy access for the maintenance and extension of the model. One of distinct features of the proposed simulator is the inclusion of complex transportation modules composed of transfer cars and overhead cranes. The simulator can be used for evaluating various alternative designs of a projected mill via throughput analysis and material flow analysis. Also, one can utilize it effectively to search for the best product mix suitable for many types of situations. It could be an invaluable tool evaluating the performance of operation patterns and improving the accuracy.

There are various characteristics called for in work roll and intermediate rolls for cold rolling mills. Among these characteristics, the two main requirements are to ensure the quality of the rolled products and to reduce roll cost. To achieve these needs, resistance to wear, to thermal shock and to contact fatigue are especially important. This paper describes that new material(named DSR1) for intermediate rolls which greatly increases rolling campaign and improves resistance to wear has been developed. DSR1 was successfully manufactured and has been used in the cold rolling mill. It showed that Trial product was homogenous in hardness distribution and sufficient usable diameter. Also in service test, trial product is much more excellent rolling performance than conventional $5\%Cr$.
