The extremely halophilic archaebacterium Haloarcular sp. EH-1 was isolated from solar salts. Amylae production from Halonrcular sp. EH-1 have been studied. The results obtained were as follows. The optimal medium composition for the production of amylase from Haloarcular sp. EH-1 were soluble starch 1.5%, yeast extract 1.0%, MgSO$_4$ 7h$_2$O 2.0%, KCI 0.1%, NaCl 25% (pH 7.5). The incubation temperature, aeration rate and agitation speed were 4$0^{\circ}C$, 100 $m\ell$ medium / 500 $m\ell$ shaking flask, and 110 rpm. The cell growth and enzymatic activity was highest at 9 days of incubation. So amylase production appeared to be a growth-related phenomenon.

As production of LCD increases, it has become necessary to find an economically efficient way of treating LCD wastewater with high concentration of fluoride. This study focuses on the calcium sources : $CaCl_2$, $Ca(OH)_2$ and $CaCO_3$ for the treatment of the LCD wastewater including high concentration of fluoride. Of course considering removal efficiency and economical aspect, study is continued. Then this study have objective giving aid to field. Consequently, each calcium source's removal efficiency was measured in various pH, calcium dosage, reaction time, and mixing intensity. The optimum operational conditions for $CaCl_2$ were found to be pH of 7, calcium dosage of 0.4[Ca]/[F] (mol / mol), 1 hr of operation and 200 rpm of mixing intensity. For $Ca(OH)_2$, they were pH of 7, calcium dosage of 30 mL/L, 1 hr of operation, and 200 rpm of mixing intensity. While $CaCO_3$ had operational conditions of pH of 4, calcium dosage of 30 mL/L, 1 hr operation and 200 rpm of mixing intensity. But it is recommended to use calcium sources according to various field conditions.

The removal of ferrous iron (Fe(II)) in groundwater is generally achieved by simple aeration or the addition of oxidizing agent. Aeration followed by solid-liquid separation is the most commonly used as physico-chemical treatment method for iron removal. In general aeration has been shown to be very efficient in insolubilizing ferrous iron at the pH level greater than 6.5. In this study pH was maintained over 6.5 using limestone granules under constant aeration to oxidize ferrous iron. In batch experiments, oxidation rate of ferrous iron was investigated under different conditions including limestone granule size. initial concentration of the ferrous iron, pH, temperature and ionic strength in groundwater. The pH in groundwater was presumed as the most important factor determining oxidation rate of ferrous iron. According as the size of the limestone granules decreased, the pH of the iron contaminated water increased quickly and oxidation of the ferrous iron was achieved immediately too. The oxidation rate of the ferrous iron was found to be proportion to initial concentration of the iron contaminated water, temperature and ionic strength, respectively.

Optimum conditions of the hydrogenation of PNA to pure PPD were determined in a three-phase slurry reactor with suspended Pd/C catalyst particles. Minimization of mass transfer resistances at the interfaces of both gas-liquid and liquid-catalyst particles and control of overall reaction rate on catalyst surface leaded to decrease the hydrogen starvation on reaction active sites and to reduce the side reactions during hydrogenation. The optimum temperature, pressure, and catalysst concentration were confirmed to be in the range of $60^{\circ}C$, 60~70 psig, and 1~2 g-cat/L, respectively. Reaction rate was zero order with respect to the concentration of PNA and 1st order with respect to the pressure of hydrogen(P). Overall rate expression of the reaction was $R_A=6.44{\times}10^6{\cdot}H{\cdot}P{\cdot}m{\cdot}$exp(-4659/T) where H is constant, m is concentration of catalyst, and T is temperature.

본 연구에서는 인산염을 이용여 납으로 오염된 Clay 사격장과 인위적으로 오염시킨 자연토양의 중금속의 고정화 실험을 수행하였다. 인산염 고정화제로는 DAP (diammonium phosphate)를 사용하였다. DAP를 투입한 중금속 오염토양을 고정화 실험과 TCLP로 용출 하였을 때, 99% 정도 고정화되었다. 인산염 투여양이 증가할수록 고정화 효율은 증가하는 것으로 나타났으며, 최적 인투입량은 128 mmol as P/kg인 것으로 나타났다. DAP 투입양이 증가할수록 토양의 pH는 증가하는 것으로 나타났으며, 토양의 초기 pH 변화에 따라 고정화 효율은 크게 변하지 않은 것으로 나타났으나, pH가 높을수록 고정화 효율은 작은폭으로 증가하는 것으로 나타났다.

A laboratory experiment was coducted to investigate the relation of various soil phosphorus and some soil chemical properties which affect the composition of inoganic phosphorus and soil phosphorus with 149 phosphorus accumulated soil samples. Soil pH and exchangeable Ca were showed positively high significant correlation with 1.25 $N-NH_4$ OAc-P, Saloid-P, Ca-P and Total-P, however the soil pH was not showed significant relationship with $0.01M-CaCl_2-P$, Al-P, and Fe-P, respectively. Active Al and available phosphorus, water soluble P, and inoganic phosphorus were showed negatively high significant correlation, but Al-P and Fe-P were not. Also active Fe were showed positively significant correlation at 1% level for Fe-P and total-P. In the relationahips between soil pH and active Al, and exchangeable Ca, active Al were showed negatively high significant correlation with log regression equation, and exchangeable Ca were showed positively high significant correlation with liner regression equation. P sorbed by soil from p 20ppm solution was showed negatively high significant correlation with available phosphorus, water soluble P and $0.01M-CaCl_2-P$ in soil and positively with active Al, but was not significant with Ca-P.

The heat decomposition rate of guanosine-5'-monophosphate was investigated in pH range from 5.52 to 7.00, and 0.1 of the ionic strength. The result showed that the rate was a first-order reaction and the rate of guanosine-5'-monophosphate loss was maximum near $pKa_2$. The loss of guanosine-5'-monophosphate was temperature dependent and followed to the Arrhenius equation in the temperature region from $93^{\circ}C$ to $108^{\circ}C$. The rate constant as function of temperature ($93^{\circ}C$ to $108^{\circ}C$) and neutral pH($pKa_2$, 6.0, to 7.0) was correlated by least-square fit of the experimental data; $$K=4.19{\times}10^{26}\;{\exp}\;[-1.3(pH+E/RT)]$$

In order to examine efficient L-threo-2,3-Dihydroxyphenylserine (L-threo-DOPS) synthesis process using whole cell biocatalyst, a thermostable L-threonine aldolase (L-TA), which cloned from Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) and improved for stability, was expressed in a Corynebacterium glutamicum R strain. The constructed Corynebacterium expression vector, pCG-H44(1) successfully expressed L-TA in C. glutamicum R strain, but showed very low expression level. In order to improve the expression level, the expression vector named pCG-H44(2) was reconstructed by eliminating 1 nucleotide between SD sequence and start codon of L-TA. The pCG-H44(2) vector plasmid was able to overexpress L-TA approximately 3.2 times higher than pCG-H44(1) in C. glutamicum R strain (CGH-2). When the whole cell of CGH-2 was examined in a repeated batch system, L-threo-DOPS was successfully synthesized with a yield of 4.0 mg/ml and maintain synthesis rate constantly after 30 repeated batch reactions for 130 h.

ISFET (ion sensitive field effect transistor)는 용액 중의 각종 이온 농도를 측정하는 반도체 이온 센서이다. ISFET는 작은 소자 크기, 견고한 구조, 즉각적인 반응속도, 기존의 CMOS공정과 호환이 가능하다는 장점이 있다. ISFET의 기본 구조는 기존의 MOSFET (metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor)에서 고안되었으며, ISFET는 기존의 MOSFET의 게이트 전극 부분이 기준전극과 전해질로 대체되어진 구조를 가지고 있다. ISFET소자의 pH 감지 메커니즘은 감지막의 표면에서 pH용액 속의 이온들이 감지막의 표면에서 속박되어 막의 표면전위의 변화를 유발하는 것을 이용한다. 그 결과, ISFET의 문턱전압의 변화를 일으키게 되고 드레인 전류의 양 또한 달라지게 된다. ISFET의 높은 pH감지능력을 얻기 위하여 높은 high-k물질 들이 감지막으로서 연구되었다. Al2O3와 HfO2는 높은 유전상수, non-ideal 효과에 대한 immunity 그리고 높은 pH 감지능력 등 많은 장점을 가지고 있는 물질로 알려졌다. 본 연구에서는, SiO2/HfO2/Al2O3 (OHA) 적층막을 이용한 EIS (electrolyte- insulator-silicon) pH센서를 제작하였다. EIS구조는 ISFET로의 적용이 용이하며 ISFET보다 제작 방법과 소자 구조가 간단하다는 장점이 있다. HfO2은 22~25의 높은 유전상수를 가지며 높은 pH 감지능력으로 인하여 감지막으로서 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있는 물질이다. 하지만 HfO2의 물질이 가진 고유의 특성상 화학적 용액에 대한 non-ideal 효과는 다른 금속계열 산화막에 비하여 취약한 모습을 보인다. 반면에 Al2O3의 유전상수는 HfO2보다 작지만 화학용액으로 인한 손상에 대하여 강한 immunity가 있는 재료이다. 이러한 물질들의 성질을 고려하여 OHA의 새로운 감지막의 적층구조를 생각하였다. 먼저 Si과 high-k물질의 양호한 계면상태를 이루기 위하여 5 nm의 얇은 SiO2막을 완충막으로서 성장시켰다. 다음으로 높은 유전상수를 가지고 있는 8 nm의 HfO2을 증착시킴으로서 소자의 물리적 손상에 대한 안정성을 향상시켰다. 최종적으로 화학용액과 직접적인 접촉이 되는 부분은 non-ideal 효과에 강한 Al2O3을 적층하여 소자의 화학적 손상에 문제점을 개선시켰다. 결론적으로 감지막의 적층 모델링을 통하여 각각의 high-k 물질이 가진 고유의 특성에 대한 한계점을 극복함으로써 높은 pH 감지능력뿐만 아니라 신뢰성 있는 pH 센서가 제작 되었다.
