Since its establishment, the Papermaking Institute has been committed to the research and development of applied technology. In various economic development periods after the founding of the People's Republic of China, it has promoted the technological progress of the papermaking industry to varying degrees and achieved fruitful results.

Since 2010, China's paper industry has been subject to resource, environmental and other constraints as well as intensified market competition. Industrial upgrading and structural adjustment have become the main tone of industrial development. During this period, the Papermaking Technology Research and Development Center of the Papermaking Institute emerged as the times require. Combining their own technical characteristics and keeping up with industry needs, they successively developed water saving, emission reduction, efficient fiber utilization, and household paper pulp preparation technologies in the pulping and papermaking production process. direction research.

They insist on improving the practicality of scientific research and technological achievements as the foundation, carry out scientific research work in-depth in enterprises, and actively participate in the research of key technologies of enterprises on the basis of fully understanding the needs of enterprises, and promote technological transformation and product upgrading of enterprises. At the same time, they will also bring new technologies and results developed by research and development to enterprises to accelerate their promotion, application and industrialization in enterprises. "We hope that through 'real-life' field scientific research, on the one hand, we can solve the technical problems that plague enterprises, and on the other hand, we can timely discover practical problems that cannot be touched in the laboratory. It can also help us train our team and hone our technology. Serve as a catalyst.”

The starting point is good, but the actual process is difficult. As we all know, companies focus on input-output, and scientific research is uncertain. Therefore, companies also adopt a cautious wait-and-see attitude towards technological innovation. Can the idea of the process be accepted by the enterprise? Can process debugging bring expected benefits to the company? How can we gain the trust of enterprises and achieve long-term cooperation? These issues are always on the minds of the members of the center. While taking on the heavy responsibility of research and development, they constantly put pressure on themselves.

Success belongs to the brave and the wise. They faced the pressure and faced difficulties. They fully communicated with the company in the early stage of the cooperation, carefully designed the plan, and demonstrated it from multiple angles in the laboratory. During the implementation period, they repeatedly discussed with the company's technical staff and operators, and continued to debug. After countless runs-in, , finally found a way to cooperate with enterprises. After more than ten years of hard work, the Papermaking Technology R&D Center has provided high-quality technical services to many household paper-related enterprises such as Zhengda Fiber Science, Tranlin, Vinda and Lee & Man, creating considerable economic benefits for the enterprises. .

In-depth enterprise scientific research activities are indeed a win-win cooperation. While serving enterprises, the center has accumulated a large amount of technical reserves, grasped the needs and development directions of the industry, actively participated in the application of national projects, and continued to promote the research of applied technologies using national projects as a carrier, laying a solid foundation for the subsequent development of industrialization. Base. For more than ten years, the center has successively undertaken the national science and technology support plan projects and national key research and development plan projects of the "11th Five-Year Plan", "12th Five-Year Plan", and "13th Five-Year Plan", mainly focusing on key pulping and papermaking water-saving technologies, pulping Research on process pollution emission reduction integrated technology, clean pulping and papermaking technology research and development and industrialization has achieved good results through the integration of industry, academia and research among scientific research institutes, universities and enterprises, as well as the development, innovation, integration and industrial application of technology. Economic and environmental benefits. Among them, the research results of the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" project won the second prize of the 2010 China Light Industry Federation's Scientific and Technological Progress Award. The center also attaches great importance to the research of new raw materials and the development of high-value application technologies in papermaking. The relevant results of its participation in research and development won the first prize of the China Light Industry Federation's Science and Technology Progress Award in 2018. Currently, the center is committed to the development of paper lightweight technology. The application of research results will effectively reduce the fiber raw material consumption and production energy consumption of paper products, reduce logistics and transportation costs, and achieve efficient resource utilization and energy conservation and emission reduction.

Paper brings not only civilization to mankind, but also the crystallization of wisdom; papermaking is transforming from a polluting industry that everyone is worried about to clean production. There is a long way to go, and the Papermaking Technology R&D Center will work with colleagues in the industry to jointly promote the development of the papermaking industry toward a modern large-scale industry with high quality, low consumption, low emissions, and low pollution.
