Garbage composting was studied in a controlled batch reactor with the addition of cooked rice as a biodegradable carbon source to find the effect of C/N ratio control on composting. And composting of bulking agents such as sawdust and wheat straw were tested with the addition of ammonium sulfate as a nitrogen source. As expected, biodegradation of the garbage having low C/N ratio was improved to some extent when foreign carbon was added. But bulking agents used in this study exerted slightly biodegradable carbon potential, indicating that the estimation of the dose of additional carbon considering desirable C/N ratio was not reasonable when lignocellulosic bulking material was added to garbage. It was found that the optimum moisture content increased with sawdust addition meaning the C/N ratio increment. Considering the above results, it was suggested that 78g sawdust per 100g garbage should be mixed to make C/N ratio to 25 and moisture content to 56% for effective composting of the garbage studied in this paper.

차세대 에너지로 연료전지가 각광을 받고 있는 현재, 세계 각국에서는 연료전지의 상용화를 위해 노력하고 있다. 그러나 촉매분야에서 백금계 촉매의 사용량의 문제에 따른 매장량 한계점과 귀금속이라는 문제점이 존재하기 때문에 이에 대하여 대책강구가 필요한 시점이다. 이에 백금 촉매의 활성을 증대하고자 나노 크기의 제어 연구가 진행되고 있다. 또한, 촉매의 구조적인 면에 따라 촉매의 활성이 달라지는 점을 착안하여 백금계의 나노 형상 조절 연구와 백금계 촉매를 대체할 비백금계의 촉매 개발 연구가 활발히 진행되어지고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 백금계 촉매 중 Pd을 polyol process에 의한 나노 형상 조절을 통하여 단위 질량당(or 단위 부피당) 촉매의 활성을 높이고자 하였다. Polyol process에서는 환원제, 계면활성제, 온도, 시간, 기타 첨가제에 따라 나노 형상이 다르게 조절되는데, 이에 계면활성제로 PVP를 사용하고, 반응속도 및 형상조절을 위해 다양한 첨가제를 이용하여 polygonal Pd NPs을 형성하였다. 본 나노 형상 조절에서는 첨가제와 온도가 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 요인으로 착안하여 그에 따른 polygoanl Pd NPs의 사이즈 조절을 통해 전기화학 특성이 차이의 연구에 중점을 두었다. 이에 따라 나노 형상 조절이 된 Pd촉매를 이용하여 상용화된 촉매(Pd/C(XC-72R))에 비하여 전기화학적인 특성의 차이와 Pd 촉매의 촉매적 특성의 효과를 보고자 한다.

The present study examined the anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative effects of Pinus koraiensis (PK) cone shell extracts in vitro. Anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative effects of PK cone shell extracted with hot water, 20% ethanol (EtOH), or 50% EtOH were examined using 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS) radical scavenging assay, superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activites, as well as nitric oxide (NO) and anti-inflammatory cytokine measurements. The 20% EtOH extract of the PK cone shell decreased the NO and inflammatory cytokines secretion, and increased the ABTS radical scavenging, SOD, CAT, and GPx activities. This indicates that the 20% EtOH extract of the PK cone shell would be helpful in inflammation and oxidation systems. Therefore, the 20% EtOH extract of PK cone shell has great potential as a useful health food.

Lightweight geopolymers were fabricated with non-milled IGCC slag and Si sludge as a bloating material. The relationship between addition amount of Si sludge and physical/chemical properties of lightweight geopolymers was investigated. When the geopolymers were made by mixing IGCC slag, alkali activator, and more than 10 wt.% Si sludge, the temperature of the geopolymer pastes reached higher than 130℃ in a few minutes. This exothermic reaction accelerated the geopolymer reaction; however, it was difficult to make geopolymer specimens because of a rapid bloating reaction. Both compressive strength and density of the specimens tend to decrease with an addition of Si sludge; however, there was little difference in both compressive strength and density with addition of Si sludge more than 10 wt.%. Because there was a limit to get low density geopolymers by simply increasing the addition of Si sludge, the control of pore size and distribution of geopolymer is more important by controlling flow rate of the paste through the control of W/S ratio. Therefore, it is important to control process conditions, appropriate W/S ratio for the bloating than the control of Si sludge. The optimum W/S ratio was 0.20 for the addition of Si sludge less than 30 wt.% and W/S ratio should be more than 0.28 for the addition of Si sludge more than 30 wt.%, although there was no practical application in fact.

본 논문에서는 배터리의 온도를 고려하여 효율적으로 고속 충전할 수 있는 방법에 대해 제안하였다. 제안된 방법은 충전하고자 하는 배터리의 온도에 따라 충전에 필요한 전압과 전류의 양을 조절하여 최적의 충전 환경을 만들어 배터리의 수명을 감소시키지 않는 최적의 충전 환경을 제공하는 것이다. 충전으로 인하여 배터리 내부에 있는 전해액, 활물질, 분리막 등의 반응성이 증가되어 배터리의 온도 상승과 수명 단축이 발생되는 현상을 고려하여 배터리의 열 발생으로 저하되는 충전량을 보상할 수 있도록 전압 또는 전류의 량을 조절하여 초기의 충전량을 유지할 수 있도록 하는 고속 충전 방법이다. 제안한 방법의 효율성을 검증하기 위해 리튬이온 배터리를 이용하여 일반적인 충전과 비교하여 실험하였다. 실험 결과 존 논문에서 제안한 방법이 기존의 충전방법보다 고속으로 충전되어 효율성이 입증되었다.

We report on the simple preparation method of large-scale structured catalysts by temperature-regulated chemical vapor deposition with a high cell-density ceramic honeycomb monolith. And the feasibility for dry reforming of methane catalysts was evaluated. The NiO/Cordierite (CDR) catalyst was prepared by controlling coating conditions at each temperature step, leading to a conformal deposition of NiO inside the cordierite honeycomb monolith with the cell density of 600 cpsi. The catalytic conversion of $CH_4$ and $CO_2$ for dry reforming of methane were about 83% and 90% with gas hourly space velocity of $10,000h^{-1}$ at $800^{\circ}C$, respectively. As a result, it exhibited that the temperature-regulated chemical vapor deposition method can be expedient for the preparation of large-scale structured catalysts.

원자층 증착(Atomic Layer Deposition: ALD) 방법은 반응물질들을 펄스형태로 챔버에 공급하여 기판표면에 반응물질의 표면 포화반응에 의한 화학적 흡착과 탈착을 이용한 박막증착기술이다. ALD법은 기존의 화학적 기상증착(Chemical Vapor Deposition: CVD)과 달리 자기 제한적 반응(self-limiting reaction) 에 의하여 반응가스가 기판 표면에서만 반응하고 가스와 가스 간에는 반응하지 않는다. 따라서 박막의 조성 정밀제어가 쉽고, 파티클 발생이 없으며, 대면적의 박막 증착시 균일성이 우수하고, 박막 두께의 정밀 조절이 용이한 장점이 있다. 이러한 ALD 방식으로 3차원의 반도체 장치 구조물에 산화막 등을 형성하는 공정에서 중요한 요소 중의 하나는 전구체의 충분한 공급이다. 따라서 증기압이 높은 전구체를 선호하는 경향이 있다. 그러나 증기압이 낮은 전구체를 사용할 경우, 공급량이 부족하여 단차 도포성(step coverage)이 떨어지는 문제가 있다. 원자층 증착 공정에서 전구체를 충분히 공급하기 위해전구체 온도를 증가시키거나 전구체의 공급시간을 늘리는 방법을 사용한다. 그러나 전구체 온도를 상승시키는 경우, 전구체의 변질이나 수명을 단축시키는 문제점을 발생시킬 수 있으며. 전구체를 충분히 공급하기 위하여 전구체의 공급시간을 늘이는 방법을 사용하면, 원하는 박막을 형성하기 위하여 소요되는 공정시간과 전구체 사용량이 증가된다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 반응기 안에서 전구체 노출 시간을 조절하는 새로운 ALD 공정을 소개한다. 특히 이러한 기술을 적용하면 나노튜브를 성장시키는데 매우 유리하다. 본 연구에서 전구체 노출 시간을 조절하기 위하여 사용된 ALD 장비는 Lucida-D200-PL (NCD Technology사)이며 (TEMA)Zr와 H2O를 사용하여 ZrO2 나노튜브를 폴리카보네이트 위에 성장시켰다. 전구체의 노출 시간은 반응기의 Stop 밸브를 이용하여 조절하였으며, SEM, TEM 등을 이용하여 나노튜브의 균일성과 단차피복성 등의 특성을 관찰하였다. 그 결과 전구체 노출시간을 조절함으로써 높은 종횡비를 갖는 나노튜브를 성장 시킬 수 있음을 확인하였다. 또한 낮은 증기압을 가지는 전구체를 이용하여도 우수한 특성의 나노튜브를 균일하게 성장시킬 수 있었다.

Light is essential to the growth and development of plants, and it is perceived by phytochromes, which are one of the photoreceptors that regulate physiological responses in plants. Ethylene regulates the dormancy, senescence, growth, and development of organs in plants. This research focused on the interaction of phytochromes and ethylene to control hypocotyl growth and gravitropism using phytochrome mutants of Arabidopsis, phyA, phyB, and phyAB, under three light conditions: red (R) light, farred (FR) light, and white light. The mutant phyAB exhibited the most stimulation of gravitropic response of all three phytochrome mutants and wild type (WT) in all three light conditions. Moreover, phyB in the R light condition showed more negative gravitropism than phyA. However, phyB in the FR light condition showed less curvature than phyA. The hypocotyl growth pattern was similar to the gravitropic response in several light conditions. To explain the mechanism of the regulation of gravitropic response and growth, we measured the ethylene production and activities of in vitro ACS and ACO. Ethylene production was reduced in all the mutants grown in white light in comparison to the WT. Ethylene production increased in the phyA grown in R light and phyB grown in FR light in comparison to the other mutants. The ACS activity coincided with the ethylene production in the phyA and the phyB grown in R light and FR light, respectively. These results suggest that the Pfr form of phyB in R light and the Pr form of phyA in FR light increased ethylene production via increasing ACS activity.

Styrenated phenol alkoxylates (SP-A) were prepared from styrenated phenol (SP) and ethylene oxide (EO) under a homogeneous base catalyst. However, to use EO that is difficult to handle, a high-pressure reaction device capable of controlling the reaction process should be used. Additionally, when a homogeneous base catalyst is used, a neutralization process is required to remove residual bases after the reaction, and it is also difficult to separate the catalyst and the product. Therefore, in this study, we report the results of SP-A prepared from the reaction of SP and EC using only heterogeneous base catalysts. The heterogeneous base catalyst was obtained by supporting KOH on $La_2O_3$ and calcintion. Using EC instead of EO, it was possible to produce SP-A under the atmospheric rather than high-pressure reaction condition. Average molecular weights of synthesized SP-A varied greatly depending on reaction conditions. The average molecular weight of SP-A prepared using the $KOH/La_2O_3$ catalyst could be controlled arbitrarily by controlling the reaction temperature and added catalyst and EC amounts.

Resol type phenol-formaldehyde (PF) resin was synthesized by addition reaction of formaldehyde (F) and phenol (P). And the PF resin was synthesized by condensation reaction in which water was removed. In this work, we studied the influence of experimental parameters in the addition reaction, such as F/P mole ratio, amount of catalyst, reaction temperature, reaction time, and so on. Also, we studied the influence of molecular weight and viscosity of PE resin as a function of condensation time. As a result, in addition reaction, the reaction time decreased remarkably as the catalyst concentration increased, and the time decreased with increasing reaction temperature at a constant catalyst concentration. Also, in condensation reaction, the viscosity of resol type PF resin increased from 1500 to 9000 cps as a function of condensation time; molecular weight showed from 500 to 1100 g/mol.
