Week 5: Paper production on a laboratory paper machine - evaluation of selected properties of prepared papers. 6th week: Grinding of pulp (waste paper) - grinding on laboratory mills - preparation of test sheets of paper. 7th week: Pulp grinding (collecting paper) - grinding on a semi-operational Dutcher - preparation of test sheets of paper. 8th week: Pulp grinding (waste paper) - evaluation of grinding curves and properties of the prepared papers. 9th week: Evaluation of printing papers from the point of view of the printing process - color reception, printing penetration, dustiness. 10th week: Determination of the optical properties of pulp and paper - whiteness, color, opacity. 11th week: Determination of optical properties of pulp and paper - calculation of light scattering and absorption coefficients. 12th week: Evaluation of the mechanical properties of cardboard, cardboard - stiffness, 3-point bending, compression during short clamping. Week 13: Evaluation of the mechanical properties of cartons, cardboard and vacuumed products - tensile strength.

Learning activities and teaching methods
Laboratory work
  • Practical training - 143 hours per semester
Learning outcomes
The course follows on from lectures on paper production technology, especially the part of the so-called paper testing industry. Students will practically test the operation of some technological procedures on a laboratory and semi-operational scale, they will also perform comprehensive analyzes of paper/cardboard/ on the department's available devices.
Subject is conceived as a laboratory and serves to knowledge acquisition and practice on pilot equipments. Student is able at the end of this final laboratory course to self-dependent work on diploma thesis.
Prerequisites
Condition is the completion of the course - Discipline Laboratory I.

Assessment methods and criteria
Home assignment evaluation

Student submits reports on the tasks. The final evaluation takes into account the supplied protocols, their debate and the overall work in the laboratory. It investigated degree of acquired knowledge and practical skills.
