Method For Improving The Metabolic Stability And Survival Of Neonatal Pigs, Tim S. Stahly

Animal and Food Sciences Faculty Patents

A method of improving the metabolic stability of neonatal pigs and increasing their survival rate by administering to the pregnant sow during its latter stages of gestation up to about 80 days prior to parturition an effective amount of a material selected from the group consisting of a dihydroxy alkanol having 3 to 10 carbon atoms; a triglyceride of glycerol and fatty acids wherein at least one of the fatty acid moieties containing 8 to 12 carbon atoms with the remaining acid moieties containing 13 to 20 carbon atoms; the mono and diol esters of said alkanols and said fatty …

Study Of Bagasse Pulps To Obtain Corrugated Medium, Maria A. Carbonari

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

Bagasse was used as raw material to pulp various NSSC, Soda and Kraft liquors and evaluated as corrugating medium. A new pulping procedure with the M & K Digester was developed in order to reach maximum temperature at the shortest practical time.

It was found that a 10% Active Alkali at 5% Sulfidity and an NSSC liquor at pH 10 with 15% SO₂ on pulp gave suitable strength properties. The NSSC cook gave a higher yield but a pulp with more shives.

Keywords: Bagasse, Kraft, Soda, neutral sulfite semichemical, corrugating medium

Cleaning And Upgrading Of Post Consumer Corrugated Containers As A Secondary Fiber Source, Daniel L. May

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

Introduction

The use of secondary fiber as a source of raw material in the paper industry is now an important reality ingrained into papermaking. The reasons for using secondary fiber are many and diversified but most point to economy as the primary factor. With wood and virgin pulp becoming more expensive, secondary fiber will undoubtedly maintain its place in the industry and may increase in the future. Total paper production is approaching 88,000,000 tons. Of this total only 23,000,000 is recycled. With nearly 64% of total paper production going to waste either through landfill, incineration or other disposal methods it …

Aspects Of The Nesting Ecology Of Least Terns And Piping Plovers In Central Nebraska, Craig A. Faanes

Papers in Ornithology

Breeding habitat of the least tern is made up primarily of coastal beaches and inland river sandbars. Populations of the interior (Sterna antillarum athalassos) and east coast (S. a. antillarum) subspecies are now declining (Marshall et al. 1975, Duffy 1977, Jernigan et al. 1978) and the western subspecies (S. a. browni) is endangered (Wilbur 1974). Although coastal populations have received considerable attention (Wolk 1974, Atwood et al. 1977, Blodgett 1978), little research has been conducted on the interior race (Hardy 1957, Downing 1975).

The piping plover inhabits river sandbars and sand beaches and, like …

An Investigation Of The Feasibility Of The Replacement Of Starch By Synthetic Cationic Polymers For The Emulsification Of Alkenyl Succinic Anhydride, Lisa L. Schultz

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

The objective of this study was to determine the feasibility of replacing cationic starch with a synthetic cationic polymer in the emulsification of alkenyl succinic anhydride for use in alkaline sizing.

Three methods of determining the validity of the hypothesis were investigated. The mechanisms encompassed with respect to polymer performance were emulsion stability, retention of ASA, and ASA hydrolysis.

Effect Of Hot Supercalendering On Sheets With High Filler Loadings And Polypropylene Fibers Added, Michael R. Whitescarver

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

This study investigates the effects of hot supercalendering on sheets with high filler loadings and polypropylene pulp added. An uncoated sheet that had sheet and optical characteristics similar to a coated number three sheet. was desired. Research was conducted in two stages, handsheet analysis and a machine trial on Western Michigan University's Fourdrinier Pilot Plant. The hot supercalendering of these sheets with 15% Pulpex resulted in a 111% increase in Scott Bond. Unconsolidated Pulpex has no synergestic effects with clay fillers for gloss, brightness, and opacity. Pulpex that has been consolidated does have a synergistic effect with clay for gloss.

The Use Of Old Corrugated Board In The Manufacture Of High Quality White Papers, Rene H. Kapik

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

Clean corrugated board waste was fractionated into its softwood/hardwood fiber components, repulped using a kraft pulping process, and bleached using a CEHD bleaching sequence in an effort to produce high brightness fiber suitable for use in medium to high quality white paper.

The papers produced has almost equivalent mechanical strengths and opacity, but possessed unsatisfactory brightness and cleanliness when compared to commercially manufactured bleached kraft pulps of identical softwood/hardwood contents.

Based on this experimental data, the use of recycled fiber from corrugated board as a fiber substitute in the manufacture of high quality printing and writing papers is not recommended …

Effects Of Ultrasonic Vibration On A Coating Slurry As It Dries On The Sheet, Craig N. Husted

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

This thesis involves a study of the reaction of coating pigment slurries to ultrasonic vibrations during drying on a sheet of paper. The coating was done with a Meyer Rod and immediately transferred to the surface of a loudspeaker apparatus until dry. Several different coating formulations were used and evaluated with and without ultrasonic agitation. These coatings include combinations of #2 clay, delaminated clay, titanium dioxide, calcium carbonate, and polystyrene plastic pigment. Frequencies of 25,000 Hz and 42,000 Hz were used as well as the control group which was not treated. The amplitude was the highest attainable with the frequency …
