침엽수와 활엽수 펄프내의 리그닌(lignin) 제거 효과를 개선하기 위해 호알칼리성 균류인 Cephalospotium sp. RYM-202의 xylanase를 표백 전처리하고 이에 의한 펄프의 표백 증진 효과를 조사하였다. 두 종류의 펄프 모두 5$0^{\circ}C$에서 효소반응을 수행하였을 때 펄프내 xylan의 가수분해가 가장 높게 나타났다. 펄프내 xylan의 가수분해를 위한 효소의 최적 pH는 8.0이었으며, pH 9.0에서도 최대활성의 90%이상이 유지되었다. 각각의 펄프 재료에 효소를 전처리한 결과 표백(리그닌 제거)과정의 증진 효과를 보였으며, 침엽수와 활엽수의 kappa number는 각각 3.7과 2.0 ISO units 만큼 감소되었다. 아울러 효소처리 혹은 효소 미처리 펄프를 각각 표백한 후 수초지를 제조하여 종이의 물성을 상호 비교한 바, 효소처리는 종이의 섬유 구조에 큰 영향을 끼치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과들은 호알칼리성 Cephalospotium sp. RYM-202의 알칼리내성 xylanase가 알칼리 조건하에서의 펄프 전처리 과정에 매우 적합함을 의미한다.

The pore structure of paper was modified by the application of the blending of pulp, refining, and filler particle size and ash content. It was conformed that the reflectivity of paper can be modified by the combination of the above parameters. It was also found that the change of reflectivity of paper was greatly dependent on the pore structure, such as average pore size, pore size distribution and porosity. The average pore size was decreased with addition of HwBKP, but the smallest average pore size was obtained from the addition of 80% HwBKP Refining of pulp decreased both average pore size and the reflectivity of paper. The pore size distribution of filled paper can be varied by the combination of filler particle size and ash content

Electron beam irradiation is also an eco-friendly treatment compared to other physical and chemical treatments. In this study, we attempted to evaluate the possibilities of energy savings by applying electron beam irradiation to the refining process. After softwood unbleached kraft pulp (UKP) was irradiated with electron beams at 50 and 100 kGy, it was beaten in a laboratory beater, and then its freeness and fiber properties were analyzed. The physical properties of their fiber handsheet were also and measured. As the irradiation dose of the electron beam and the beating time increased, lower freeness and fiber lengths of the UKP were observed. Handsheets made from UKP that was irradiated by electron beam and beaten showed a reciprocal relationship with the irradiation dose of the electron beam, in particular, the strength of the handsheets decreased dramatically at 100 kGy of irradiation. Therefore, it was confirmed that electron beam irradiation is effective in reducing the beating time or beating energy. But the irradiation dose must be controlled under 50 kGy to minimize the loss of paper strength.

Recycling of wastepaper is very important for the environmental protection. However inferior strength and slower drainage characteristic that are brought by the hornification and the increase of fines respectively limited the increase of wastepaper recycling. The purpose of this study is to obtain some fundamental information that is helpful to develop the technologies which can improve the characteristics of recycled fibers. Softwood bleached kraft pulp was curlated with Hobart mixer at several different consistency. The curlation of fibers can cause the internal fibrillation and decreasing the crystallinity without serious damage of fiber surface. Curl index, kink index, freeness and WRV were increased, but crystallinity was decreased with the increase of curlation consistency.

Increasing the amount of filler in paper is of high interest for paper industry while maintaining its key sheet quality properties. In this study, a MFC-GCC composite, made through a co-grinding NBSK (Northern bleached softwood kraft) pulp with a ground calcium carbonate (Intracarb 60), was used as a strength aid in paper in order to evaluate a potential cost reduction through filler increase without sacrificing paper quality. Hand-sheets were made of NBSK and/or eucalyptus pulp by using white water recirculation in a Tappi sheet former and was compared its properties without or with MFC additions at different filler levels. It was found that the MFC-GCC composite has a large surface area compared to the fiber, allowing the formation of more hydrogen bonds in the web, thus giving natural strength to the paper. Overall results are encouraging that the MFC-GCC composite allows papermaker to reduce basis weight and maintain critical sheet properties.

The effects of wet pressing and drying conditions on the disintegration and physical properties of paper were investigated in order to get the basic information on the resistance of paper for aqueous solution during converting processes. Wet pressing of unbeaten bleached softwood kraft pulp increased WRV at the range of grammage investigated. The increase of WRV with grammage at low wet pressing pressure(50 psi) was obvious, while it was not significant at higher wet pressing pressure(110 psi). The changes of WRV by drying were affected by the grammage and wet pressing pressure. The poorer disintegration of sheet, the higher wet pressing pressure and drying temperature. Although the strength properties were increased with the grammage, wet pressing pressure and drying temperature, results showed different trend from those of beaten pulp.

Hemp bast pulp cooked at temperature below $100^{\circ}C$ followed by defibration by the knife and the valley beater, respectively was mixed with softwood pulp varying the amount of hemp pulp in order to find the optimum condition for making hemp-wood paper. Both the knife and the valley beaters contributed to the dispersion of pulp fiber well. Lots of shives were found when the knife beater was applied exclusively, but the fibers were dispersed well when freeness dropped to 600 mL CSF and 500 mL CSF by the valley beater. Air resistance decreased drastically below 500 mL CSF where rapid disrupture of pulp fiber occurred. As the values for freeness and hemp fiber content increased, so did roughness and bulk. It was apparent that the tear strength of hemp-wood paper was on the rise drastically as hemp fiber content increased. Nevertheless the optimum hemp fiber content of hemp-wood paper would be 20% considering the decrease in both tensile and burst strengths as well as sheet formation.

Internal fibrillation of pulp fiber is an important factor affecting paper properties. Internal fibrillation of pulp fiber is usually introduced with several kinds of modifications of fiber by the mechanical treatment such as refining, high shear and/or high consistency mixing, etc. Unfortunately there are no standardized methods that can characterize the extent of internal fibrillation and its contribution on the paper properties. The purpose of this study is to try and find the potential methods that can characterize the internal fibrillation of pulp fiber quantitatively. Softwood bleached kraft pulp was treated with Hobart mixer to introduce the internal fibrillation without the significant fiber damage and external fibrillation. The extent of internal fibrillation was increased with the increase of mechanical treatment consistency. Several fiber properties were measured to find the potential means that could characterize and quantity the internal fibrillation. Laminated area could not be used as a means for quantifying the internal fibrillation because of the effect of swelling and the different internal fibrillation behavior at different mechanical treatment consistency. Micro and macro internal fibrillation models were proposed for describing the different behavior for the mechanical treatment at low and high consistencies of pulp. The Internal fibrillation showed good correlation with swelling of fiber wall. This trend was confirmed through the measurement of wall thickness and/or cross section area of fiber. Therefore the internal fibrillation possibly can be described as the indices indicating the change of wall thickness and/or cross section area.

The amount of non-lignin components in unbleached and oxygen-delignified kraft pulps and their impact on lignin determinations was investigated. The lignin analyses investigated were kappa number and Klason lignin in conjunction with acid-soluble lignin. The species investigated were loblolly pine, and aspen. The non-lignin components that impacted on lignin determination were residual extractives and hexenuronic acid in unbleached and oxygen-delignified kraft pulps. In the hardwoods, significant amounts of extractives remained after kraft pulping and oxygen delignification. These residual extractives in the hardwood pulps had an impact on the lignin determination, more so on the acid lignin method than kappa number. Hexenuronic acid only impacts on kappa number determination both softwood and hardwood pulps, not on acid lignin. Hexeneuronic acid contributed as lignin content more in aspen than pine pulps, and more in oxygen-delignified than unbleached kraft pulps. Impact of hexenuronic acid on should be corrected both softwood and hardwood pulps for accurate kappa number.
