The Effect Of Filler Distribution On Sheet Optical Properties, David T. Rasley
The Effect Of Filler Distribution On Sheet Optical Properties, David T. Rasley
Paper Engineering Senior Theses
It is becoming increasingly important to the paper industry to be able to produce paper with high brightness and opacity. Good formation is also highly important. For these reasons, the industry is investigating the way the fines, fiber, and filler are distributed using the different types of paper machines.
Through this thesis work, it will be investigated how the filler distribution affects the optical properties of a sheet and what filler distribution will give maximum scattering power, brightness and opacity. From this it may be possible to suggest what paper machine variables will give filler distributions with improved optical properties.
The Effect Of Pulp Mill Effluents On The Carbon Dioxide Evolution Of Three East Texas Soils, John C. Morris
The Effect Of Pulp Mill Effluents On The Carbon Dioxide Evolution Of Three East Texas Soils, John C. Morris
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Two pulp mill effluents, NaOH extraction water from the pulp bleaching process and water from the chlorination step of the pulp bleaching process, were applied to jars containing three East Texas soils. Carbon dioxide evolution was then measured with an infrared gas analyzer to determine the effect of the effluents on the respiration of soil microorganisms. The relationship between effluent treatments was not statistically significant, though detrimental effects were observed in the heavier soil. Irrigation of clays and clay loams with the effluent is not recommended. Irrigation of sandy soils should be possible if there is no danger of sub-surface …
A Study Of The Influence Of Reworked Fibers On Dimensional Stability And Physical Characteristics Of Paper, Martin L. Smith Jr.
A Study Of The Influence Of Reworked Fibers On Dimensional Stability And Physical Characteristics Of Paper, Martin L. Smith Jr.
Paper Engineering Senior Theses
Secondary or re-pulped fibers, refined to the same degree in terms of freeness, exhibit different physical and optical characteristics than the same fiber in the virgin state. Paper which contains various ·per cent of secondary fibers have better opacity, less sensitivity to moisture and humidity, in the sense of hygro-expansivity, reduction of tendency to curl with addition of moisture to one side of the sheet, and less tensile elongation. The advantages listed above are offset to some extent by a loss in tensile strength, fold endurance and porosity.

It was also conducted to determine the degreed relationship between this estimated average ring fibril angle and various factors such as position in the tree, latewood percent, specific gravity, and growth rate.
Change In The Urban-Rural Ecotone, Paul E. Matthiae
Change In The Urban-Rural Ecotone, Paul E. Matthiae
Field Station Bulletins
Conversion of the rural Wisconsin landscape from farms to housing poses serious wildlife management and utilization problems. The problems are aggravated by the unregulated and unplanned nature of the land use changes. Purchase of farms for future development often results in removal of the entire farm from crop production. Occasionally the choicest tillable acres are rented or leased to a neighboring farmer, but even so, the remaining land is allowed to lie fallow and undergo old field succession. In a few cases pine plantations or wildlife food patches may be established or a pond constructed.
Dogwoods In Wisconsin, Peter J. Salamun
Dogwoods In Wisconsin, Peter J. Salamun
Field Station Bulletins
Many persons who have taken early spring trips to the southern and southeastern sections of our country frequently remark about the attractiveness of the Flowering Dogwood (Cornus florida L.) which they observed in the woodlands of this area. They also ask why this small tree does not grow in Wisconsin. According to the publication, "Growing the Flowering Dogwood" (USDA, 1970), this plant cannot be successfully grown where the winter temperatures go below -15°F; therefore, it is not considered hardy in our climate. We can take some solace, however, because there are a number of attractive native dogwoods which bloom in …

Mycological Research At The Field Station, John Baxter
Field Station Bulletins
During the past three years, several mycological research projects have been conducted partially at the Field Station or have used research material obtained at the Station. These include a study of cellulose-digesting fungi from soils of the area (Gatford, 1969), an investigation of lignin digestion by wood-rotting fungi collected at the Station (Flashinski, 1970), and life cycle studies of certain rust fungi of southeastern Wisconsin (Baxter, 1971). At the present time two new mycological research projects are being planned.
Population Dynamics Of The Black-Capped Chickadee, Charles M. Weise
Population Dynamics Of The Black-Capped Chickadee, Charles M. Weise
Field Station Bulletins
The Black-capped Chickadee is an abundant, familiar bird in Wisconsin, known to almost everyone. In summer it is widespread in nearly all kinds of woods, although it is more numerous in younger second-growth forests, swamp forests or along forest-edges than in mature climax types. In winter, it becomes more restricted to dense thickets, bogs or swamps, especially where conifers like cedars or hemlocks occur; however, it also congregates in large numbers in towns or suburban areas wherever it can find artificially provided food at bird-feeding table. ecology. Since 1968 we have been concentrating our efforts more and more on a …

Urban Botany - An Essay On Survival, Forest Stearns
Field Station Bulletins
Botany is today's most needed urban science. It deals with life and with objects which man can understand, for which he reaches and with which he feels comfortable. The technological and economic problems of the city are horrendous—transportation, waste disposal, air pollution, and housing to name a few.
High Temperature, High Pressure Oxidation Of Primary Sludges, Dale R. St. Peter
High Temperature, High Pressure Oxidation Of Primary Sludges, Dale R. St. Peter
Paper Engineering Senior Theses
The problem of disposal of high ash papermill sludges has yet to be resolved. High temperature, high pressure wet air oxidation may have the potential to fill this gap in our technology.
A sample of high ash primary sludge was obtained, thickened, wet air oxidized, purified, and evaluated for brightness and abrasiveness. The product was grossly discolored with iron oxide. However, removal of the oxide yielded a high brightness product with low abrasiveness. This product appeared to be well suited for use as a filler material.
In order for this process to be acceptable as a method for obtaining a …
"The Effects Of Steam Stripping Contaminated Kraft Condensates", Joseph A. Buckholz
"The Effects Of Steam Stripping Contaminated Kraft Condensates", Joseph A. Buckholz
Paper Engineering Senior Theses
The effects of steam stripping contaminated Kraft condensates were evaluated in relation to the removal of odorous sulfur-containing compounds. The investigation was carried out in a packed distillation column. The mill streams investigated were multiple effect evaporator condensates, waste heat evaporator condensates, and concentrator condensates.
Measured volumes of distillate were removed and analyzed for chemical oxygen demand by oxidation, and for component make-up by gas chromatography.
This study indicates that the use of steam stripping not only reduces the amount of sulfur-containing compounds, but reduces mill water requirements and the BOD load placed on effluent treatment facilities.

The Effectiveness Of Some Enzyme-Containing Detergents Of The Deinking Of Newsprint, Peter T. Aylward
Paper Engineering Senior Theses
With an ever increasing use of wood by the paper industry and pollution of our waterways, it is only natural that we turn to recycling of our products.
The purpose of this paper was to investigate the possible use of enzymes detergents as a means of deinking newsprint. It was decided to deink several issues of newspaper by varying the concentration of enzyme detergent over a wide interval of temperature. The pH of the systems was monitored so as not to denature the enzyme. This method yielded pulp with a brightness three or four points over that of the untreated …

The Effects Of Selected Pilot Paper Machine Variables On Web Shrinkage, John Hughes
Paper Engineering Senior Theses
The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of certain machine variables on shrinkage and also to determine a shrinkage and strength profile across the width of the sheet. Machine conditions varied were the draws and the amount of pressure on the presses. Cross direction shrinkage was measured by using felt marking pens to mark three sections across the web. Machine direction shrinkage was determined by using a cogged wheel to punch a series of small holes into the sheet which could then be measured at the reel. Press loading was shown to have no effect on cross …
An Investigation Of The Relative Water Holding Capabilities Of Various Synthetic Adhesives, Kenneth J. Long
An Investigation Of The Relative Water Holding Capabilities Of Various Synthetic Adhesives, Kenneth J. Long
Paper Engineering Senior Theses
During the investigation of the water holding capacity of various latexes, the Hercules Size Tester, appeared to be the most consistent and convenient instrument for determining this characteristic. The latexes used in this investigation were those recommended by suppliers as excelling in this capacity.
It was hoped that a correlation could be found between water retention time and ease of obtaining gloss through supercalendering. However, no such correlation was found. In a routine control situation, through backlogging of data on a unchanging coating system, a correlation would be more likely to appear.
The Effect Of Sample Length, Fiber Length And Rate Of Loading On Tensile And T.E.A., Rajendra Patel
The Effect Of Sample Length, Fiber Length And Rate Of Loading On Tensile And T.E.A., Rajendra Patel
Paper Engineering Senior Theses
The purpose of this investigation was to study the effect of fiber length, sample length and rate of loading on tensile and TEA. The most important aspect of this study was the elimination or controlling of variables which appeared in all related studies to date. With this in mind, an experimental procedure was drawn up which would eliminate or control these variables. The original pulp was taken without any cutting, formed into handsheets, and pressed. The handsheets were then cut in order to reduce the fiber length while the handsheets were wet. Cutting the fibers was done with a paper …
The Effect Of Clay Particle Size On The Optical Properties Of Filled Handsheets, Arkesh Pandit
The Effect Of Clay Particle Size On The Optical Properties Of Filled Handsheets, Arkesh Pandit
Paper Engineering Senior Theses
In this experiment two coating clays and two filler clays were used as fillers to find the effect of particle size on optical properties on filled handsheets.
Klondyke and Nokarb were used as a filler clays to improve the optical properties. Coating clays, H. T. predispersed and Ultra-white-90 were less effective than filler clays. Scattering co-efficient can be improved with coating clays. The reason may be the smaller the particle size better scattering co-efficient. This experiment suggests alum is not necessary in order to improve the opacity and brightness of filler clays. Retention of Klyondyke and Nokarb increased without alum, …

Planting And Care Of Trees In The Wheatbelt, F Batini
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
THE climate of South Western Australia includes a long summer drought which subjects trees to considerable moisture stress.
Shade trees and shelter belts can be established successfully in the wheatbelt without hand watering, provided a suitable site and variety of tree is selected and a little time is spent in site preparation and care of the young tree.
This article, which is adapted from a Forests Department publication "Catalogue of Trees for growing under Western Australian conditions", sets out the best varieties of trees and establishment methods.

The Effect Of Chemical Cross-Linking Agents On Starch And Starch-Latex Adhesive Mixtures In Coating Color Formulations, Steven F. Rehrauer
Paper Engineering Senior Theses
Various representative coatings were prepared, run, and resulting papers evaluated with great emphasis placed on keeping conditions constant throughout all experimental work. The study was limited to two types of starches; regular and cationic, and two types of insolubilizers; melamine formaldehyde and glyoxal. The effect of adding some latex to the adhesive mixture, with respect to water resistance, was also explored.
Data received substantiated the superiority of glyoxal over melamine formaldehyde in producing wet-rub resistance in starch base coatings. Calculated results also proved the merit of using a cationic starch, in conjunction with the insolubilizing additives, rather than a regular …
