This study aimed to investigate growth rate and nutrient removal efficiency of Chlorella vulgaris according to nitrogen sources and frequency of pH adjustment. Nitrogen and phosphorus removal efficiencies were evaluated in the three different conditions using $NO_3{^-}$, $NH_4{^+}$ as a sole nitrogen source and mixed condition. Initial nutrient concentrations in artificial wastewater were 30 mg-N/L and 3 mg-P/L similar to secondary wastewater effluent. When nitrogen source was $NO_3{^-}$, there was no inhibition on the growth of C. vulgaris with adjusting pH every 24 hr while growth inhibition occurred with $NH_4{^+}$ caused by pH drop. N, P removal efficiencies were no significant depending on the nitrogen sources. As pH was adjusted to 7 by pH-stat, growth rate and nutrient removal efficiencies were increased compared to adjusting pH every 24 hr, however, growth rate and nutrient removal efficiencies were no significant depending on the nitrogen sources.

In order to obtain the basic data for recycling of coal mine tailings, the characteristics of coal mine tailings, the formation of AMD from the tailings and the leaching of heavy metal from the tailings were studied. The samples were characterized in terms of chemical composition, mineral composition and content of heavy metal of the tailings were investigated. The effects of time, temperature, content of pyrite, sulfide minerals on the formation of AMD were also investigated. For the leaching tests, the KS method, TCLP method and column test were used. From the investigated data, we can see that the coal mine tailings can be used as aggregate for filling used gallery. We can also see that the formation of AMD from coal mine tailings can be prevented by mixing 4% or more limestone with it.

With the development of IT convergence technology and the construction of master plan for the four rivers restoration of the government, the importance of the eco-friendly water pollution management is being spotlighted. In this paper, we proposed the effective water pollution management using the reservoir tank automatic classification for improving the water quality and on-line managing efforts of ceo-friendly reservoir tanks. The proposed method defined the seven factors of water pollution evaluation and managed the water pollution according to hydrogen ion concentration(pH), chemical oxygen demand(COD), suspend solid(SS), dissolved oxygen(DO), count of coliform group(MPN), total phosphorus(T-P), and total nitrogen(T-N) using the sensors. We measured the values for the seven factors from the reservoir tank and normalized to ranging from 1 to 9. To evaluate the performance of the water pollution management using the reservoir tank automatic classification, we conducted F-measure so as to verify usefulness. This evaluation found that the difference of satisfaction by the traditional system was statistically meaningful.

The influence of the flour types, including bread flour and cake flour on sourdough preparation was investigated. As starters, mixed probiotic microorganisms, including Bifidobacterium longum KCTC 5734, Enterococcus faecium KCTC 13410, and Lactobacillus acidophilus KCTC 3925, or Saccharomyces cerevisiae fermented separately for 15h at $30^{\circ}C$, were combined and then fermented for 10h at $30^{\circ}C$. The combined process with cake flour showed a 100-fold and two-fold increase in [$H^+$] and titratable acidity, respectively. This was also reflected in the viable cell counts and lactate concentration in sourdough. These results show that bread flour and cake flour may be useful for the production of sourdough.

최근 들어 다결정 SiGe은 MOS(Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor)에서 기존에 사용되던 다결정 Si 공정과의 호환성 및 여러 장점으로 인하여 다결정 Si 대안으로 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 고농도로 도핑된 P type의 다결정 SiGe은 Ge의 함량에 따른 일함수의 조절과 낮은 비저항으로 submicrometer CMOS 공정에서 게이트 전극으로 이용하려는 연구가 진행되고 있으며, 55$0^{\circ}C$ 이하의 낮은 온도에서도 증착이 가능하고, 도펀트의 활성화도가 높아서 TFT(Thin Film Transistor)에서도 유용한 재료로 검토되고 있다. 현재까지 다결정 SiGe의 증착은 MBE, APCVD, RECVD. HV/LPCVD 등 다양한 방법으로 이루어지고 있다. 이중 HV/LPCVD 방법을 이용한 증착은 반도체 공정에서 게이트 전극, 유전체, 금속화 공정 등 다양한 공정에서 사용되고 있는 방법으로 현재 사용되고 있는 반도체 공정과의 호환성의 장점으로 다결정 SiGe 게이트 전극의 증착 공정에 적합하다고 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 HV/LPCVD 방법을 이용하여 게이트 전극으로의 활용을 위한 다결정 SiGe의 증착 메카니즘을 분석하고 Ex-situ implantation 후 열처리에 따라 나타나는 활성화 정도를 분석하였다. 도펀트를 첨가하지 않은 다결정 SiGe을 주성엔지니어링의 EUREKA 2000 장비를 이용하여, 1000$\AA$의 열산화막이 덮혀있는 8 in 웨이퍼에 증착하였다. 증착 온도는 55$0^{\circ}C$에서 6$25^{\circ}C$까지 변화를 주었으며, 증착압력은 1mtorr-4mtorr로 유지하였다. 낮은 증착압력으로 인한 증착속도의 감소를 방지하기 위하여 Si source로서 Si2H6를 사용하였으며, Ge의 Source는 수소로 희석된 10% GeH4와 100% GeH4를 사용하였다. 증착된 다결정 SiGe의 Ge 함량은 RBS, XPS로 분석하였으며, 증착된 박막의 두께는 Nanospec과 SEM으로 관찰하였다. 또한 Ge 함량 변화에 따른 morphology 관찰과 변화 관찰을 위하여 AFM, SEM, XRD를 이용하였으며, 이온주입후 열처리 온도에 따른 활성화 정도의 관찰을 위하여 4-point probe와 Hall measurement를 이용하였다. 증착된 다결정 SiGe의 두게를 nanospec과 SEM으로 분석한 결과 Gem이 함량이 적을 때는 높은 온도에서의 증착이 더 빠른 증착속도를 나타내었지만, Ge의 함량이 30% 되었을 때는 온도에 관계없이 일정한 것으로 나타났다. XRD 분석을 한 결과 Peak의 위치가 순수한 Si과 순수한 Ge 사이에 존재하는 것으로 나타났으며, ge 함량이 많아짐에 따라 순수한 Ge쪽으로 옮겨가는 경향을 보였다. SEM, ASFM으로 증착한 다결정 SiGe의 morphology 관찰결과 Ge 함량이 높은 박막의 입계가 다결정 Si의 입계에 비해 훨씬 큰 것으로 나타났으며 근 값도 증가하는 것으로 나타났다.

The objective of this research is to analyze a possibility for the utilization of carbonized bark and develop the technique for carbonization of bark for using as the adsorbent, the soil improvement agent, the carrier for microbial activity, health products, and so on. The properties of bark charcoals such as methylenehlue adsorption (MBA), equilibrium moisture content (EMC), far infra rad emissivity, pH, water retention and caloric value were analyzed. The MBA values of bark charcoals carbonized for 8 hr of carbonization time at $800^{\circ}C$ of carbonization temperature for Larix leptolepis, Pinus koraiensis, Pinus rigida were greater than 110 mg/g. The bark charcoals pH values of all three species that were carbonized for 4 hr of carbonization time at $400^{\circ}C$ of carbonization temperature was 6.6 and carbonized for 4 hr at 600 and $800^{\circ}C$ was about 9. Therefore the bark charcoals of those species could be used as charcoals if the carbonization temperature and time were controlled.
