    Under world-wide increasing concerns for environmental issues and as an influence of the trend toward neutrality of papermaking conditions, difficulties are being added tothe paper stock situations year after year. Increased mix of deinked pulp or coated broke not only deteriorates the wet-end properties such as fiber retention and drainage and paper quality such as paper strength, sizing, etc., but also is responsible for stain troubles in papermaking equipment. Countermeasures against stain on a papermaking machine are currently one of the major problems for improving productivity and runnability. In a papermaking machine system, slime troubles due to microorganisms and foreign matters such as pitches, anion trashes, etc. are sources of stain in correlation each to the other. It is believed therefore that a possibility would be accomplished for improvements of productivity and runnability by totally addressing these matters together and by undertaking rapid and adequate action therefor.
    By utilizing the know-how accumulated over years for handling microorganisms with a slime controlling agent as the center item and the experience relative to “Realizer” as a wet-end improver which addresses foreign matters such as pitches and anion trashes, we are makingvarious proposals for countermeasures against stain troubles in a papermaking machine addressed totally and analyzed as a comprehensive matter.

    This paper deals with an optical method for continuous analysis of suspended materials. It will find its main use in the pulp and paper industry e. g., for the analysis of pulp, white water and effluents from a mill. The instrument is based on the transmit measuring method. One of the unique features of the instrument is the possibility to simultaneously obtain separate values for the large particle (fibers) and fine particle content (fillers/fine) of the suspension. Changes in particle size will therefore have practically no influence on the total consistency measurement. This is normally a large problem for optical consistency meters. especially instrument for the measurement of turbidity.
    The sensor is based on fiber optics and its design guarantees high reliability with a minimum of maintenance. Clogging of the measuring gap is practically impossible. Furthermore, the sensor is equipped with a device for automatic cleaning. This means that the measurement neither will be affected by variation in light intensity nor by contamination of the optical surface.
    These analyzers have been installed. in different positions in the pulp and paper industry, with good experience. After presenting the great advantages of the measuring method. this paper will then explain different applications and mill installations.

    Anionic trashes (AT) are released into the water phase from contaminated reused water, recycled fibre, or broke, and form deposits at papermaking process including the wet-end, press section, machine fabrics and rolls. The AT can cause lowering of productivity by defective products; sheet breaks; short shutdown duration.
    The lab and field trials showed that troubles from AT can be controlled by dosing cationic fixing chemicals. This paper examines: the mechanism of troubles from AT, variable wet-end factors, selection of the most compatible additive; and monitoring machine performance.

    Since its introduction, single-tier dryer section-equipped with DuoStabilizers and ropeless tail threading technology-as proven extremely-successful. The complete single-tier TopDuoRun is now the preferred dryer section configuration, especially for high-speed paper machines and lightweight paper grade.-Furthermore, in combination with double-tier dryer groups-the CombiDuoRun-for heavy grades and at somewhat lower speeds, it permits high runnability through stable web run and-reliable, fast tail transfer.
    The newly developed and already successfully installed ProRelease Stabilizer now offers further optimization potential in the particularly sensitive area of the first dryer groups by reducing the required tension of the still wet weak paper web during detachment from the dryer.

    Alkenyl succinic anhydride (ASA) is well known as one of the synthetic sizing agents widely used in neutral papermaking and its role at higher pH range sizing has become important because of environmental issues, the lifting ratio of recycling pulp, anion trash increase in papermaking system and so on.
    Although many literatures on ASA have been published, we studied the mechanism of ASA sizing by using both ASA and ASAcid (hydrolyzed ASA) in order to obtain further comprehension. In this experiment. sizing treatment was carried out under ideal conditions where the filter paper was immersed in ASA emulsion or in the toluene solution of ASA, so as to retain the same quantity of sizing material in filter paper. The same procedure was adopted in the case of ASAcid. Contrary to our expectations, the most notable fact from the results obtained is that the sizing effect of the filter paper treated with ASA emulsion is superior to that of ASA toluene solution.
    These results suggest that the most essential factor to develop sizing is morphology of sizing material distribution on fibers. We speculate that the entirely uniform distribution of sizing material, like a uniform thin film, is not necessary for sizing development but the scattered distribution, like dots, is required.

    We have developed an overlay method for continuous digesters that substitutes the lining of stainless steel plates. We carried out the overlay (110 m2) at the NKP Continuous Digester in Daio Paper Co., Ltd. in March this year.
    The superior points of our overlay method are the high welding quality achieved by using new automatic welding machines, the short term of the work and the high safety level for assembly, inspection and dismantling that employed an automatic scaffolding system.
    Our method of overlay is capable of preventing corrosion of the welded parts that stainless steel lining plates have and corrosion of the cladding of continuous digesters.

    The Kraft process consists of the cooking process and the bleaching process mainly. In Kraft process, the weakest point is the low of the yield of pulp in the cooking process. The kinds of quinone derivatives or polysulfide derivatives are widely used as cooking agents to improve it.“Cooking Accelerator” is the agent to accelerate the function that these agents have and to raise the yield of pulp furthermore.
    In the bleaching process. chlorine is used as one of the bleaching agents. But it may cause the occurrence of dioxin. so it is better to decrease the amount of chlorine consumption from the environmental point of view.“Oxygen Bleaching Accelerator” can raise the ratio of delignification yield and decrease the amount of not only chlorine but also sodium hydroxide and chlorine dioxide.
    Both agents are useful in the Kraft process. and can be expected in the future.

    Paper manufacturers and end-users have become more critical about shade variation and product appearance. These requirements span the entire grade structure from tissueto multilayer board, including the whites through to deeply dyed grades. While invisible quality variables, such as basis weight, moisture and caliper may be undetected although well outside specifications, small differences in shade can be easily detected by a relatively untrained eye, potentiallyresulting in substantial product rejection. The requirement for minimum color variation in paper products has forced papermakers either to maintain a group of operators whose time is nearly 100% dedicated to controlling product color manually, or to implement closed-loop color control. Over the past twenty years, the popularity of supervisory closed-loop color control has increased significantly and has produced excellent results.
    In a push for greater efficiency, the industry has been seeking ways to reduce color change times and resultant broke losses. Typically, manually controlled color changes can require up to one hour, depending on the complexity of the change. Today's trends toward reduced inventories and faster delivery to paper customers denies papermakers the luxury of scheduling a well-established progression of shades and forces shorter production runs of each shade, resulting in frequent, more difficult shade changes.
    As the new solutions for above requests, the Honeywell new color controls provide robust models which are both responsive and capable of maintaining the color coordinatescloser to target than ever before.

    Chloroform was readily converted to formic acid through the nucleophilic attack of hydroxyl anion under the certain reaction conditions (pH>12, temp.>70°C). When guaiacol was reacted with hypochlorite at such reaction conditions, the generation of chloroform was almost completely reduced. Successful reduction of the chloroform generation was also observed in alkaline hypochlorite bleaching of kraft pulps and DIP without any loss in pulp quality.
    Even when the hypochlorite bleaching was carried out under the open system (no sealing of the reaction vessel). nearly 90% of the generated chloroform was converted to formic acid.

    An elastic analysis for side plates (breadth L=240-302.5 mm and height 207.5 mm) of the corrugated fiberboard case with grip holes (length ΔLO=0.0-62.5 mm of parallel line, hole side radius r=12.5 mm of semicircle arc) applied uniform applied stress p in ΔLO range was performed by finite element method, and from this analysis, stress components of their plates were considered.
    Large absolute values of normal stresses σx and σy in breadth and height directions and shear stress τxy concentrate near upper edges and sides of holes. Maximum of |σx| is at centers of hole upper edges in ΔL0<1.6 r and at centers of plate upper edges in ΔL0>1.6 r, and maximum of |σy| is at centers of hole upper edges in ΔL0<1.6 r and at hole sides in ΔL0>1.6 r. And τxy is negative value and maximum of |τxy| is at centers of hole upper edges in ΔL0<1.6 r and at positions r/2 along upper direction from hole sides in ΔL0>1.6 r. Maximum values for σx and σy increase and maximum absolute values for minimum σy decreases with the ΔL0 increase, and maximum absolute value for minimum σx and τxy decrease initially and increase with the ΔL0 increase.
