A method for depolymerization of PET by catalyzed glycolysis with an excess ethylene glycol(EG) to recover bis-hydroxyethyl terephthalate(BHET) was investigated. The product was analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography(HPLC). Effects of operation variables such as reaction temperature, reaction time, EG/PET weight ratio were examined and kinetics of the glycolysis was studied. High temperature increases the rate of depolymerization and the yield of BHET. But, repolymerization rate was also high at too high temperature and the yield at $250^{\circ}C$ was shown to be lower than that at $230^{\circ}C$. First order reaction model was proposed to describe the glycolysis reaction. Activation energies for the reaction were obtained to be 37.8 kJ/mol above $210^{\circ}C$ and 149.6 kJ/mol below $210^{\circ}C$, which shows the glycolysis reaction is a multiple reaction. A maximum yield of BHET of 71% was achieved at a reaction temperature of $230^{\circ}C$ for 6 hr with an EG/PET weight ratio 4.

Plasma/catalyst combined reactor was designed to overcome the limits of plasma and catalyst technologies. Optimum reductant and catalyst was selected from screening test. Experiments about the concentrations of reactant and $H_2O$ and the effect of temperature were carried out. Hydrocarbons with double bond such as propylene and so on were more reactive than any other reductants in plasma/catalyst condition. Photocatalyst, especially hombikat >$TiO_2$ with the largest surface area among the catalysts tested, showed the highest DeNOx efficiency in plasma/catalyst reaction. As the concentration of $H_2O$ increased, the removal of NO was enhanced. The increased concentration of >$O_2$ promoted the reaction of NO which was oxidized to$NO_2$.

It has known that the intermediates formed in acid reactions occuring during anaerobic reactions for instance, acetic acid, propionic acid and butyric acid have significant effects or the formations of biogases(e. g. mainly CH$_{4}$ and CO$_{2}$). A study on the effects of these intermediates for the formations of biogases, however, is still on initial stage due to the type and structural problems of reactor. The primary objective of this reserch program is to provide a funadmantal mechanism of involved reactions using a modified downflow multistage pecked bed bioreactor. As a first stage of this reaserch program, the following theoretical principles was applied 1. Principle of electroneutrality where the molar concentrations of cation and anion in solution are the same. 2. Relationship between the concentration of bicarbonate anion and pH as follows [HCO$_{3}^{-}$]= $K_{H}P_{T}Y_{CO_{2}}10^{pH-K_{1}}$ Based upon the above two principles, a series of experimental works was conducted to elucidated the relationship between the concentration of CO$_{2}$ and the pH related to the concentrations of cations and anions.

Metal exposed to high temperature/high pressure/oxidizer-rich environment may cause rapid oxidation(ignition and combustion). Therefore, this study was performed for the selection of metal appropriate for high temperature/high pressure/oxidizer-rich environment. In order to make the high temperature, high pressure and oxidizer-rich environment, the test facility utilizing the catalytic reaction of hydrogen peroxide was constructed and the metal oxidation and ignition of the STS series metals were evaluated. The result showed that the change of the selected material (discoloration) and the surface roughness were observed, but the change in the weight and thickness of the specimen was not significant.

Flame onset and propagation within hydrogen premixed gas mixture are numerically investigated in an rectangular enclosure. A detailed chemistry for hydrogen reaction is applied to anticipate the thermochemical behavior of intermediate species appropriately. To facilitate computation, 10 species and 16 elementary reaction steps for hydrogen combustion are taken into account. On the basis of 30 % of hydrogen concentration in hydrogen-air mixture, the effects of position and quantity of ignition sources on the flame evolution are analyzed. From the simulation results, the means that can lessen the possible hazard caused by flame propagation are suggested.

The characteristics of flow field and turbulent mixing efficiency of SS in non-aerated contacting reactor are critical design parameters directly affecting on the efficiency of the overall process of wastewater treatment system. To this end, in this study numerical fluid dynamic calculation has been made to investigate the flow field and concentration distribution of SS in terms of specification(shape and dimension) of impeller and other operating conditions. As the first step, the performance of the computer program developed was successfully evaluated by the comparison of the typical flow field with the type of impeller with that appeared in open literature. Further, a series of parametric investigations are made in terms of interesting parameters such as the type and dimension of impeller, location, and number of impeller, etc. A number of useful conclusions obtained by numerical calculation are the superiority of mixing efficiency of pitched type than the flat one together with the visible increase of the overall mixing effect by the employment of the larger impeller and increase of the impeller number, etc.

DBPs(Disinfection By-Products) are most formed through the reactions between chlorine and NOM(Natural Organic Matter) in water treatment. In this study, occurrence of DBPs including THMs(Trihalomethanes) is evaluated. Also, influencing factors by the seasons and raw water quality were investigated for correlation among them and the characteristics of THMs formation by prechlorination process. This study investigated the operation condition for THMs removal depending on raw water quality. Water treatment plant from intake station to gauging well flows for about 10 hours in Y Water Supply Office. It is limited to control of THMs formation because of excessive reaction time between chlorine and THMs precursors in the intake station. Therefore, as multi-points prechlorination from intake station to gauging well, THMs formation was decreased in the water treatment, and it was willing to prevent overdosage of chlorine. The concentration of THMs was 0.021 mg/L in the summer, 0.015 mg/L in the winter, respectively. Also, THMs formation showed that 0.013 mg/L in the water of gauging well after prechlorination, 0.014 mg/L in the flocculation/sedimentation/filtration, 0.016 mg/L in the water after postchlorination, respectively. THMFP(Trihalomethane Formation Potential) removed 42.7% and 50% through the flocculation/sedimentation and filtration, respectively, and it is similar TOC removal efficiency. In this study, multi-points prechlorination from intake station to gauging well decreases in contact time and concencrations of NOM and chlorine. Also, it decreases in THMs and amount of chlorine uesd. In the result of multi-points prechlorination in the summer, the concentration of THMs was 0.013mg/L in the treated water. In view of these facts, THMs formation can be decreased approximately 50%.

기능성 아웃도어 제품을 제조하기 위해서 사용되어지는 멤브레인은 크게 미세다공형과 친수무공형으로 구분할 수 있다. 최근에는 소비자들이 기능성 아웃도어에 쾌적성을 요구하고 있으며, 그 측면에서 본다면 미세다공형 멤브레인이 친수무공형보다 유리하다. 기존의 미세다공형 멤브레인은 고가이며, casting이 불가능한 단점을 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 분자구조 및 유화제 첨가에 따른 casting이 가능한 미세다공형 폴리우레탄 멤브레인의 특성에 대하여 연구하였다. Casting용 미세다공형 폴리우레탄은 soft segment와 hard segment의 비가 1/2일 때, 그리고 사용되는 용제가 MEK 단독일 때 안정적인 반응성과 이상적인 필름의 물성을 보이는 것을 확인 하였으며, 수지에 첨가되는 분산유화제의 양이 10%이상일 때 상분리 현상이 발생하지 않음을 확인 할 수 있었다. 개발된 수지의 적용성을 평가한 결과, J-knife를 이용하여 knife over roll 방식으로 25~35$g/m^2$ (dry add on)를 도포하여 $80/120/140^{\circ}C{\times}10m/min$의 다단건조 공정으로 진행했을 때 최적의 물성을 얻을 수 있었다.
