녹비작물은 천연비료로서 화학비료 사용량을 감소시키고 이산화탄소를 흡수해 농업분야에서 온실가스 저감을 위해 사용하고 있다. 녹비작물을 이용하여 지속가능한 친환경 농업의 필요성이 증대되고 있는 실정이다. 화본과 녹비작물은 두과 녹비작물에 비해 탄소 물질의 함량과 biomass가 상대적으로 높아 토양 내 유기물증진을 위한 재배에 적합하다. 이에 화본과 녹비작물 중 하나인 수단그라스의 발아 및 휴면특성 검정을 진행하여 발아 적정조건을 찾아 유기종자 생산기술 개발을 위한 자료로 활용하고자 한다. 본 연구에서는 수단그라스 4품종(GW104G, Cadan99B, TE-Evergreen, Sweet home)을 공시품종으로 사용하였다. 표준발아검사에 따라 각 품종별 종자를 100립씩 3반복 치상하여 10일간 발아검정 진행 후 발아율, 발아세, 평균발아일수, 발아속도를 조사하였다. 첫 번째 실험은 침종시간 및 치상온도별 실험으로 시간별(무처리/5/10/15/20/25hr)로 침종한 후, 생장상(10/20/30/40℃)에 보관하여 정상아 개수를 파악하였다. 두 번째 실험은 휴면타파 실험으로 1~5일 동안 종자를 예냉(무처리/5/10/15℃)과 고온(50℃) 처리한 후, 첫 번째 실험 결과에 따라 발아 최적 조건(침종 20hr, 치상온도 20℃)에서 발아시킨 후 정상아 개수를 파악하였다. 수단그라스 4품종의 치상온도별 발아율은 20℃에서 평균 92±6.9%로 가장 높았으며, TE-evergreen의 경우 치상온도 10℃에서 10시간, 20℃에서 20시간, 30와 40℃에서 15시간 침종한 값이 유의적으로 높은 발아율을 보였다. 수단그라스 4품종의 평균발아일수(MGT)는 침종 20시간과 치상온도 30℃일 때 평균 1.21±1.14일로 가장 빨랐으며 발아속도(GR)는 침종 20시간과 치상온도 20℃의 조건일 때 89.9±5.92로 가장 빨랐다. 수단그라스 4품종의 휴면타파 온도별 발아율은 10℃에서 평균 92±9.3%로 가장 높았다. TE-evergreen의 경우 휴면타파 온도 5, 10, 15℃에서 4~5일 동안 처리한 값이 무처리와 50℃처리에 비해 유의적으로 높은 발아율을 보였다. 수단그라스 발아검사 결과, 20시간 침종 후 20~40℃에서 2~3일간 발아시킬 경우 90%이상의 발아율을 보이므로 파종을 위한 종자 전처리를 할 경우 이와 같은 조건에서 진행하는 것이 바람직 할 것으로 사료된다.

Critical minerals such as nickel, cobalt and lithium, are known as materials for cathodic active materials of lithium ion batteries. The consumption of the minerals is expected to grow with increasing the demands of electric vehicles, resulting from carbon neutrality. Especially, the demand for LIB (lithium ion battery) recycling is expected to increase to meet the supply of nickel, cobalt and lithium for LIB. The recycling of EOL (end-of-life) LIB can be achieved by leaching EOL LIB using inorganic acid such as HCl, HNO₃ and H₂SO₄, which are regarded as hazardous materials. In the present study, the potential use of MSA (Methanesulfonic acid), as an alternative lixiviant replacing sulfuric acid was investigated. In addition, leaching behaviors of NCM black mass leaching with MSA was also investigated by studying various leaching factors such as chemical concentration, leaching time, pulp density (P/D) and temperatures. The leaching efficiency of nickel (Ni), cobalt (Co), lithium (Li), and manganese (Mn) from LIB was enhanced by increasing concentration of lixiviant and reductant, leaching time and temperature. The maximum leaching of the metals was above 99% at 80℃. In addition, MSA can replace sulfuric acid to recover Ni, Co, Li, Mn from NCM black mass.

In this study, impurities such as Li and F were removed from waste graphite through citric acid treatment, and changes in structural properties, capacity, and cycle stability of regenerated graphite were observed accordingly. Regenerated graphite pretreated in a nitrogen atmosphere was treated with citric acid, and its structure and characteristics were analyzed through SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope), FT-IR (Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy), XRD (X-ray Diffraction), and XPS (X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy). Waste graphite that was not treated with acid had a rapid decrease in capacity before 70 cycles, but graphite that had been treated with citric acid showed a capacity of 302.9 mAh g^-1 and a capacity retention rate of 93.1% at 100 cycles. In addition, despite changes in current density in rate performance, samples treated with citric acid showed 340.2 mAh g^-1 performance at 1.0C without change in capacity. As a result, it was confirmed that citric acid treatment not only effectively removed impurities and showed a high capacity retention rate, but also showed stability even at high current densities.

There is a growing interest in eco-friendly materials to achieve carbon neutrality, and many studies have been published on the use of functional nanoparticles in natural fibers as smart composites. This study is about the optimization of manufacturing parameters for carbon nanotube (CNT) growth by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) on the surface of basalt fiber. Co-Cu-based metal catalysts were prepared by co-precipitation method for CNT growth on the surface of basalt fiber. The catalyst was fixed to basalt fibers through a spray process. The effect of heat treatment temperature conditions and fiber surface conditions on the growth of CNT was evaluated. The growth of CNT was investigated using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to observe changes in their shape and diameter. The tensile strength of the composites using CNT/basalt fiber fabrics and amine-based epoxy as the base material prepared at different heat treatment temperatures was compared and evaluated according to ASTM D3039. We have observed that stable CNT are manufactured at temperatures above 600℃, while carbon nanofibers (CNF) are fabricated at temperatures above 400℃. The sizing material present on the surface of the basalt fiber was a hindrance to CNT growth.

This study was carried out to clarify the effects of antifungal Streptomyces sp. isolated from the soil grown kiwifruit on the growth inhibition of fruit rot (Botryosphaeria dothidea) infected in kiwi fruit plants in the southwestern districts of Jeonnam. Two hundred and fifty microorganisms were isolated and examined into the antifungal activity against Botryosphaeria dothidea. We screened and isolated six bacterial strains which have a strong inhibition against Botryosphaeria dothidea. And the best antifungal strain designated as the strain #120 showing 96.0% antifungal activity against Botryosphaeria dothidea was finally selected. The strain #120 was identified as Streptomyces sp. #120 based on its morphological, physiological, biochemical and chemotaxonomic characteristics.

Recently, there is a growing interest in vegetable oils, cheap and abundant renewable natural resources. Vegetable oils can be used as raw materials for ecofriendly biodegradable polymer materials. In this study, poly(${\beta}$-amino esters) were synthesized by polymerization reaction of acrylated epoxidized soybean oil (AESO) and 2-aminoethanol. Various polymer films were prepared by changing the molar ratio of AESO to 2-aminoethanol. The formation of C-N bonds in poly(${\beta}$-amino ester) was confirmed using FT-IR. Gel contents higher than 98% confirmed the synthesis of crosslinked polymer networks. Tensile strengths and elongation at breaks of polymer films ranged from 0.3 to 1.3 MPa and 32 to 55%, respectively. Polymer films degraded 2 to 7% of the initial weight in 35 days in phosphate buffer solution (pH 7.2) containing lipase enzyme.

Chlorine-resistant sulfonated poly(arylene ether sulfone) random copolymer (SPAES)-thin film composite (TFC) membranes for desalination are prepared using monoglyme as a selective solvent, which dissolves SPAES, but should be inert to porous polysulfone layer (e.g., Udel$^{(R)}$). Different from formic acid and diethylene glycol used as other selective solvents, monoglyme is environmentally friendly and has much lower boiling temperature. After a pretreatment of Udel$^{(R)}$ support film in isopropyl alcohol-glycerine mixture to minimize pore penetration leading to fairly reduced water flux, coating of SPAES solution in monoglyme onto the support and stepwise drying processes are conducted for defect-free TFC formation. The transport behavior through SPAES-TFC membranes is observed, correlating with the effects of sulfonation level, protonation, and physical and chemical crosslinking of SPAES selective layers.

In this study, the boric acid which is a by-product in the esterification process to obtain norbornene diester derivatives was recovered, and then its reusability for esterification of norbornene was investigated. Four types of trialkyl borate (tributyl borate, tripentyl borate, and triisopentyl borate, trihexyl borate) were synthesized through the esterification with boric acid and four types of alcohol. Then, diester derivatives were synthesized by esterification with the synthesized trialkyl borate and norbornene dicarboxylic acid. The conversion of norbornene dicarboxylic acid is 89.50~99.31%. The boric acid which is a by-product in the esterification were recovered with NaCl salt and used for synthesizing trialkyl borate. The recovery rate was 92.43~99.35 %. When the recovered trialkyl borate was used in esterification, there are little losses of the yield. Since boric acid which is a major by-product is able to be recovered, the process is expected to be a clean technology to prevent an environmental pollution by the emission of chemical compounds.

Owing to the increasing worldwide interest in green technology and renewable energy sources, flywheel energy storage systems (FESSs) are gaining importance as a viable alternative to traditional battery systems. Since the energy storage capacity of an FESS is proportional to the principal mass-moment of inertia and the square of the running speed, a design that maximizes the principal inertia while operatingrunning at the highest possible speed is important. However, the requirements for the stability of the system may impose a constraint on the optimal design. In this paper, an optimal design of an FESS that not only maximizes the energy capacity but also satisfies the requirements for system stability and reduces the sensitivity to external disturbances is proposed. Cross feedback control in combination with a conventional proportional-derivative (PD) controller is essential to reduce the effect of gyroscopic coupling and to increase the stored energy and the specific energy density.

Recently, the treat of sludge is usually progressed by ocean disposal. But it will be totally banned by content of its heavy metal according to London Dumping Convention, gradually. The stable way of treat of sewage sludge should be examined urgently. To solve the problem, recently, there are efficient and environment-oriented method. One of them is to produce absorbent through the activation. This study produces absorbent through steam activation. As basic experiment, optimum activation condition for preparation of good absorbent is researched through study of the fellowing variables : steam flow rate, activated temperature, activation time. As the result of this with standard on iodine adsorptivity, it is chosen, that steam flow rate "30 mL/hr", activation temperature $"500^{\circ}C"$, activation time "60 minutes". At the time, iodine adsorptivity and yield shown that 228.4 mg/g, 77.23%. And also, by using nitrogen adsorption, SEM and EDS are confirmed that pore development, specific surface area, mean pore size, chemical component and content. Pore developed by steam activation is also confirmed that it is micropore.
