Lauryl alcohol was used as extracting solvent of ethanol, and its toxicity on the free cells or immobilized cells was tested. To increase ethanol productivity, extractive fermentation method combined with ethanol fermentation and ethanol recovery was applied to the immobilized batch and continuous fermenter. As the concentration of LaOH was increased, the lag phase became longer, but specific growth rate did not change greatly. And a cell entrapment technique could protect the yeast cells against both substrate inhibition and solvent toxicity. When the glucose concentration was 400 g/l and the LaOH/fermentation medium ratio was 4, total ethanol productivity increased with the enhancement of LaOH volume, and maximum productivity was 2.75 g/l.hr in the immobilized batch fermentation.

In this study, batch or semi-continuous reactions, introducing site-specific carboxylic acids in ${\beta}$-1,3-glucan structures, were performed to increase water solubility and gel forming ability, using TEMPO/hypobromite with or without NaBr as catalysts. Regio-selective carboxylic acid formations were determined with infrared (IR) and $^{13}C$ nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopic analyses. The regio-selective reactions with and without NaBr gave oxidation yields of 92.5 and 85.6%, respectively, in the batch type, and yields of 93.9 and 86.4%, respectively, in the semi-continuous type. The reaction times in the batch and semi-continuous reactions without NaBr were delayed by 100 and 150%, respectively, as compared to those with NaBr. A combination of IR and $^{13}C$ NMR analyses were used to confirm the formation of carboxylic acids in ${\beta}$-1,3-glucan. From the batch reactions with and without NaBr, the water solubilities of oxidized products were 50.0 and 55.6%, respectively, and in the semi-continuous reactions they were 52.6 and 53.5%, respectively; while the water solubility of the native ${\beta}$-1,3-glucan was less than 1.0%. Finally, as compared to the native ${\beta}$-1,3-glucan, the gel forming ability of the reaction products was greatly increased irrespective of the presence of NaBr or the reaction type.

Phenolic acids are regarded as harmful materials in food and environment science. But recently, regarded as useful materials by their characteristics which bind metal ions and have pharmaceutical effect. It was necessary to remove or recover phenolic acids from solutIon containing phenolic acids. Continuous fixed-bed adsorption was adapted in order to separate phenolic acids from diluted solution and the breakthrough curve was predicted by nonlinear curve fitting method. The larger bed length showed the longer breakpoint time and the slow mass transfer coefficient. Ferulic acid among the phenolic acids was passed through the breakpoint first and the second and. third were p-coumaric acid and gallic acid. These orders were caused by not only ionic strength between adsrobent and adsorbate but also molecular weights.

The performance of Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket(UASB) reactor for treatment of corn starch wastewater was investigated using continuous and batch experiment. Results showed that the corn starch wastewater had different characteristics in terms of biodegradability and methane potential, depending on the manufacturing precess. COD removal efficiencies were maintained over 70% up to the loading rate of 3.2 kg $COD/m^3{\cdot}day$ and the maximum gas production rate was about 55 l/day, equivalent to 3.5 l/day per liter of reactor volume, at the loading rate of 8.4 kg $COD/m^3{\cdot}day$. In the anaerobic serum bottle test(SBT) carried out along with continuous operation, the sludge activity was found to increase from 0.03 to 0.53 g $COD-CH_4/g\;VSS{\cdot}day$ as granular sludges were developed in 130 days operation. SBT gave valuable informations on the characteristics of wastewaters to be treated as well as on the sludge activity. The overall morphological characteristics of granular sludges cultivated on corn starch wastewaters were similar to those cultivated on various organic industrial wastewaters such as distillery and sugar.

Optimum conditions for production of casein phosphopeptides (CPP) from sodium casenate by immobilized cell culture of Streptococcus faecalis var. liquefaciens were investigated. Immobilized cells were made by mixing 60% sodium alginate solution with an equal volume of culture broth at the end of exponential phase and subsequently dropping the mixture into $CaCl_{2}$ solution. Optimum conditions for CPP production by the immobilized cells were the same as those ($50^{\circ}C$, pH 7.0, and 10% substrate concentration) by the crude enzyme solution from the supernatant of culture broth. Optimum loading volume of the immobilized cells into a batch reactor was 30% (w/v). Using a continuous reactor loaded by the immobilized cells under the identified optimal conditions, we were able to produce CPP continuously up to 30 days with a maximum CPP conversion efficiency of 20%.

Continuous operation for 24h was carried out to establish the optimum condition at the magnesium fused salt electrolysis using a self made 150 ampere mono-polar type cell. An electrolyte composition of $MgCl_2$ 25%, NaCl 55%, $CaCl_2$ 19%, $CaF_2$ 1% was electrolyzed with applied voltage 7V, cathode current density $0.7-0.75A/cm^2$, electrode distance 6cm at $720{\sim}740^{\circ}C$ for 24 hours. Changes of applied current, composition of the electrolyte, current efficiency were investigated. Through the experiments, there were not any operating troubles with the self-made electrolytic cell. Purity of the electrolyzed magnesium metal was above 99%, and 89% of current efficiency was achieved. Some basic data for scale-up of the magnesium electrolysis equipment which would be necessary for commercialization were obtained.

Vanadium and tungsten can be obtained by separating/recovering the leaching solution from a spent SCR DeNO_X catalyst using the soda roasting-water leaching process. Therefore, in this study, the adsorption/desorption mechanism of vanadium and tungsten in an ion-exchange column was investigated using Lewatit MonoPlus MP 600, a strong basic anion exchange resin. The operating conditions for the separation of vanadium and tungsten in the ion-exchange column was intended to present. By conducting a continuous adsorption experiment in a pH 8.5 solution, the adsorption capacity of vanadium and tungsten was found to be 44.75 and 64.92 mg/(g of resin), respectively, which showed that the adsorption capacity of tungsten was larger than that of vanadium because of the difference in ion charge. Vanadium has a higher affinity for MP 600 than tungsten. Consequently, as the vanadium-containing solution is eluted through the ion exchange resin onto which tungsten is adsorbed, the adsorbed tungsten is exchanged with vanadium and desorbed. A continuous experiment was performed with a solution of vanadium and tungsten prepared at the same concentration as the spent SCR DeNO_X catalyst leachate. The adsorption capacity of vanadium was found to be 48.72 mg/(g of resin) and 80% of the supplied vanadium was adsorbed; in contrast, almost no tungsten was adsorbed. Therefore, vanadium and tungsten were separated effectively. The ion exchange resin was treated with 2 M HCl at 15 mL/h, and 97.7% of the vanadium(99% purity) could be desorbed. After desorption, NH₄Cl was added to precipitate ammonium polyvanadate at 90℃ and recover 93% of the vanadium.

본 연구의 목적은 젖소에서 다배란유기법의 확립을 위해서 호르몬을 처리법을 달리한 결과이다. 난포의 발생을 자극하는 FSH 호르몬을 하루에 2번의 호르몬 주사를 하는 데, 이는 혈액내에 난포자극호르몬의 농도를 연속적으로 유지하여 난소에서 다난포 발생의 목적을 달성하고자 하는 방법이다. 하지만 빈번하게 호르몬을 주사하는 방법은 처리하는 노력이 필요하고 공란우도 스트레스로 작용한다. 이러한 단점을 극복하기 위해 한번에 많은 난포의 성숙을 유도하는 다배란처리법에 대한 보고가 많이 있어, 본 연구에서 이 다배란처리 효과를 비교하고자 젖소를 이용하였다. 방법으로는 다회주사법(8회)과 일회주사법(1회)에서 황체수와 수정란의 생산수 등을 조사하였다. 다회주사법은 생리식염수에 융해한 FSH를 1일 50mg씩 2회(12시간 간격)주사하는 법으로 CIDR 질내 주입 9일째부터 4일간 주사하였으며, 질내에 CIDR를 주입하고 11일째되는 날에 PG(25mg, 루텔라이스, 한국)를 주사하고, 12일째는 CIDR를 제거하여 일회주사법과 주기를 맞추었다. 일회주사법은 CIDR를 질내에 주입하고 나서 9일째 되는 날에 400mg의 FSH을 생리식염수에 융해하여 일회주사를 하고 다회주사법과 같이 인공수정과 채란시간을 맞추었다. 인공수정은 황체퇴행제(PG)를 주사하고 나서 48, 72시간에 2회 인공수정을 실시하여 1주일 후 수정란을 채란하였다. 인공수정시는 반드시 GnRH(2.5mg)를 동시에 주사하였다. 채란은 인공수정 후 7일째 되는 날에 비외과적으로 채란을 실시하여 우수한 수정란은 동결을 실시하였다. 다회주사법에서 14두, 일회주사법에서 14두를 공시하여 황체수, 회수수정란수, 배반포수, 동결란수를 조사하였다. 다회주사법에서는 황체수는 8.07$\pm$6.62개, 회수정란수는 6.78$\pm$5.96개, 배반포율은 58.9%, 동결란 생산율은 52.6%의 성적을 얻었으며, 일회주사법에서 황체수는 12.07$\pm$8.07개, 회수수정란수는 10.0$\pm$9.24개, 배반포율은 27.1%, 동결란 생산율은 25.0% 수준의 결과를 얻었으나 결과에 대한 통계분석시 다회주사법과 일회주사리법 간에 유의적인 차는 인정되지 않았다(student T-test, P<0.05). 본 실험의 결과에서 나타나듯이 생리식염수를 용매로 이용한 FSH 1회 주사법이 다회주사법과 비교하였을 때에 수정란 생산효율에서 유의적인 차이가 없으므로 이 방법을 이용한 다배란유기는 노동력과 공란우에 대한 스트레스를 경감할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

In the natural, there exist several kinds of radioactive isotopes. From atmospheric weapon tests and then some isotopes are naturally radioactivity above all things, nuclear power plant operation and man-made radioactive isotopes concern steadily growing in the environment. During the fission process of nuclear weapon tests and nuclear power plant operation, more than 200 radioactive isotopes are generated. Among them, $^{90}Sr$ and $^{137}Cs$ has been regarded as very important isotopes due to characteristics. In this paper, a quantitative analysis method of environment low level $^{90}Sr$ is studied. Radioactivity level of the environmental $^{90}Sr$ is very low, and it emits continuous beta spectrum, and $^{90}Sr$ exists together with $^{89}Sr$, $^{90}Y$ and other radioactive isotopes. It very difficult to make the quantitative analysis of $^{90}Sr$. For the analysis of low level radioactive strontium, enrich and chemical separation of strontium from the other radioactive isotopes are needed. For the estimation of strontium recovery ratio, so called SGAT(Strontium Gravimetric Analysis Technique) was generally used among the domestic research groups, and chemical procedures were developed appropriation for the SGAT, Recently, by using ICP(Inductively Coupled atomic Plasma emission spectrophotometer), amounts of stable atoms can be measured easily and accurately to the extend of ppm or ppb. In this paper, new chemical procedures are developed to exploits the ICP technique. New developed method has simpler chemical treatment procedures and then it gives more accurate results compared with the traditional SGAT.
