Homogeneous precipitated calcium carbonate(PCC) was synthesized by calcinations, hydration and carbonation of limestone which has been deposited in Danyang, Korea. In the reaction process, shapes(scalenohedral and cubic) and sizes(0.2~0.3μm and 2.0μm) of the powder were controlled by reaction temperature. Synthesized PCC was applied to hand-made paper as filler and coated paper. For the prepared papers, physical/optical properties(brightness, whiteness, opacity, roughness, gloss, tensile strength, internal tearing strength, stiffness, bursting strength) and printability(ink gloss, ink set-off, dry pick, wet pick) were characterized

Cracking at the fold is a quality defect sometimes observed in coated paper and board. Although tensile and compressive stresses occur during folding, test methods to measure the compressive strength of a coating have not been available. Our objective was to develop a method to measure the compressive strength of a coating layer and to investigate how different mineral coatings behave under compression. We used the short-span compressive strength test (SCT) to measure the in-plane compressive strength of a free coating layer. Unsupported free coating films were prepared for the measurements. Results indicate that the SCT method was suitable for measuring the in-plane compressive strength of a coating layer. Coating color formulations containing different kaolin and calcium carbonate minerals were used to study the effect of pigment particles’ shape on the compressive and tensile strengths of coatings. Latices having two different glass transition temperatures were used. Results showed that pigment particle shape influenced the strength of a coating layer. Platy clay gave better strength than spherical or needle-shaped carbonate pigments. Compressive and tensile strength decreased as a function of the amount of calcium carbonate in the coating color, particularly with precipitated calcium carbonate. We also assessed the influence of styrene-butadiene binder on the compressive strength of the coating layer, which increased with the binder level. The compressive strength of the coating layer was about three times the tensile strength.

This research has been conducted to maximize the calcium carbonate usage without optical brigthening agent additional. The improvement on printing properties and a high degree of white paper was addressed the problem of meta-stable materials coated on the submicron of crystalline vaterite precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) by composite it with latex. This study characterized the coating pigment, preparation of coating color, applied to paper sheets and compared with previous research and Indonesia National Standard specification of coated printing paper (SNI 0154:2010). The use of mixed submicron PCC (SPCC) and regular PCC (RPCC) as a white-coated paper produces a high brightness, low roughness, low oil penetration, high picking strength, high gloss, and low water absorption. Mostly those testing parameters meet the requirement of the Indonesia Standard National of printing coated-paper SNI 0154: 2010. Improvement also achieved on composite of submicron PCC-binder latex. A significant improvement of gloss value of the laboratory-scale processes was equal with supercalender using the paper machine and 23.6-28.9% of increasing of brigthness prior to previous study. ABSTRAKPenelitian ini bermaksud untuk memaksimalkan penggunaan pigmen kalsium karbonat tanpa menggunakan tambahan optical brigthening agent. Sifat cetak dan derajat cerah kertas ditingkatkan dengan cara mengatasi masalah meta-stabil pada bahan salut presipitat kalsium karbonat (PCC) submikron bentuk kristal vaterit melalui pembentukan komposit dengan lateks. Penelitian ini meliputi tahap karakterisasi bahan salut, pembuatan bahan salut, dan aplikasinya pada kertas, serta analisis sifat fisik, cetak dan optis pada kertas cetak salut, lalu membandingkannya dengan penelitian sebelumnya dan SNI spesifikasi kertas cetak salut SNI 0154:2010. Penggunaan campuran PCC submikron (SPCC)dengan PCC reguler (PCC) sebagai bahan salut menghasilkan derajat cerah kertas tinggi, kekasaran rendah, penetrasi minyak rendah, ketahanan cabut tinggi, kilap tinggi, dan daya serap air rendah. Sebagian besar parameter tersebut memenuhi standar SNI spesifikasi kertas cetak salut (SNI 0154 : 2010). Peningkatan juga terjadi pada komposit PCC submikron (SPCC) dengan binder lateks. Peningkatan signifikan terjadi pada analisa kilap kertas cetak salut skala laboratorium yang menunjukkan hasil sama dengan superkalender pada mesin kertas, dan terjadi peningkatan derajat cerah yaitu sekitar 23,6 – 28,9% terhadap penelitian sebelumnya.Kata kunci: bahan salut, kertas cetak salut, kilap tinggi, SNI 0154:2010

Transjøen, a lake in S.E. Norway investigated hydrographically from October 1969 to October 1971, consists of two basins, both of which are meromictic (lake with lower layer which does not participate in the periodic circulations). The lake has a large influx of groundwater of very varying chemical composition. The calcium content is high and precipitated calcium carbonate and electrolyte rich groundwater is assumed to be the main reason for the meromictic stability. The redox potentials of monimolimnion (the lower layer which does not participtate in the periodic circulation) are extremely low, but in spite of this fact the content of sulphate is high.
