We investigated the bioethanol production using wood biomass hydrolysate which obtained from the supercritical water (SCW) treatment. SCW-treated hydrolysate was used C-source of culture medium in shaking flask culture for bioethanol production. When the concentrated SCW-treated hydrolysate (SCW3) was used, yeast cell growth was slower compared with those in other SCW-treated hydrolysate (SCW1, SCW2). In addition, the bioethanol productions were 0.51 to 0.56 (%,w/v) when SCW1, SCW2, and SCW3 were used. Therefore, we removed the toxic phenolic compound in SCW-treated hydrolysate by pretreatments of activated charcoal and calcium hydroxide. Activated charcoal reduced more efficiently the phenolic compounds in SCW3 by 94.6%. Finally, when we pretreated SCW3 by activated charcoal and this was used for bioethanol production, 0.96 (%,w/v) bioethanol was produced and the ethanol yield based on reducing sugar reached 0.5.

The polyacenic semiconductor material (PAS) electrode prepared by the pyrolytic treatment of phenol-formaldehyde resin is one of useful electrodes. As an anode material of lithium rechargeable batteries, amorphous carbon materials have been studied extensively because of their high electrochemcal performance and cyclicability. Carbon materials do not lead to the formation of lithium dendrite which is one of the most serious problems in applying Li-based materials to an electrode of batteries. The polyacene materials prepared from phenol resin at relatively low temperatures $(550\~750^{\circ}C)$ show a highly Li\doped state up to $C_2Li$ state without liberation of Li cluster. We prepared each polyacene materials at various temperature and investigated electro- chemical properties. We tried to change the mole ratio of [H]/[C] which is $0.24\~0.4$ range. Considering of electrochemical properties of PAS material, the PAS material is one of the most suitable materials for electrodes of a polymer battery.

A coupled thermomechanical analysis of composite structures in pyrolysis and ablation environments is performed. The pyrolysis and ablation models include the effects of mass loss, pore gas diffusion, endothermic reaction energy, surface recession, etc. The thermal and structural analysis interface is based upon a staggered coupling algorithm by using a commercial finite element code. The characteristics of the proposed method are investigated through numerical experiments with carbon/phenolic composites. The numerical studies are carried out to examine the surface recession rate by chemical and mechanical ablation. In addition, the effects of shrinkage or intumescence during the pyrolysis process are shown.

This study was carried out to investigate the properties of woodceramics made from thinned logs of Cryptomeria japonica. In order to find the effect of steam injection time on the woodceramics fabricated with boards, boards were made with the non-steamed treatment and steamed treatment 1, 5, 10 min. at $250^{\circ}C$. The percentage of weight loss was proportional to the increased density of board The reducing rate of length and thickness, however, decreased with increasing density of board. The rate of weight loss, length and thickness reduction in non-steamed board were slightly higher than those of steamed board. When the resin impregnation rate increased, the bending strength and compressive strength of woodceramics had a tendency to increase. The bending strength and compressive strength of woodceramics in non-steamed board was higher than those of steamed board. But there was little difference between dimensional and strength properties of woodceramics and steam injection time of board.

Recently, our circumstances are threatened by an accident that leakage of under ground storage tank and illegal dumping of synthetic organic compounds at chemical plants and many treatment methods, Activated carbon adsorption, Ozonization, Membrane filtration and Photocatalystic oxidation, are developed to remove such a synthetic organic compounds. And it has reported that Activated carbon adsorption have a great removal efficiency to nondegradable matters and organic compounds which have a high molecular weight. Comparing with other adsorbents, Activated carbon adsorption have a worse efficiency when ad desorption speed is low. Thus improved type of adsorbents was invented and one of those is Activated Carbon Filter. The purpose of this study was getting information about adsorption characteristic phenol which can be applied Activated Carbon Fiber and Granular Activated Carbon. In detail, With comparing removal characteristics of phenol in the presence Humic Acid using Activated Carbon Fiber(ACF) and Granular Activated. Carbon(GAC), it is to certify an effective application of Activated Carbon Fiber. At the range of this study, Batch test, Isotherm adsorption test and Factorial analysis, following conclusion were obtained from the results of this study. Batch test was carried to know time of adsorption equilibrium. In this study about time of adsorption equilibrium by ACF was faster than GAC's, for developed micropore of ACF. From the result of phenol adsorption test, High removal rate of adsorption is shown at pH 5. The result of lsotherm adsorption test, it has represented that the Freundlich's isotherm is most suitable one in others, that a ACF's adsorption capacity is more excellent than GAC's. Adsorption of phenol exiting humic acid is decreased getting raised humic acid concentration. Since ACF's micropore is developed at this time, an effect of high molecular humic acid is lower. Factorial analysis was carried to know about Main effect which was injection dosage of adsorbent in the range of this study.

The specific capacitance characteristics which were of the electric double layer capacitors(ELDC) made of phenol based activated carbon fiber(ACF) electrodes and organic electrolytes has been investigated with respect to different specific surface area of electrodes and different kinds of organic electrolytes. Throughout charge-discharge cell tests, it has been found that larger surface area and larger pore diameter of electrodes contribute to increase the specific capacitance. Binary mixture of organic solvent with propylene cabonate(PC) and tetrahydrofuran(THF) for 1 M-$LiClO_4$ electrolyte has a higher specific capacitance than single solvent of PC or mixed solvent with PC and diethyl cabonate(DEC). Also, even though 1 M-tetraethylamonium perchlorate(TEAPC) of organic electrolyte shows higher specific capacitance, it has longer charge time because of its lower ion mobility.

The Quality characteristics of pH, ginsenosides, fatty acid, phenolic compounds were studied for their changes during growth of Candia parapsilosis. The yeast growth not only scarcely affected the total amount of saponins and ginsenosidvs of recd ginseng tail root extract, but also was not affected by the saponin C. pnrapsilosis did not utilize the ginsenosides as a carbon source. Glucose, fructose and free sugars were utilized in the initial phase of growth, whereas sucrose and maltose were used as the growth continued and completely redured after 43 hours of incubation. Unsaturated fatty acids were significantly reduced with cell growth, showing a relationship between unsaturated fatty acid content and the yeast growth, whereas the amount of saturate[1 tatty acids in red ginseng extract was not affected by the yeast growth. Generally, there were no changes in major organic acids and phenolic compounds (vanillie acid , m-coumaric acid) except the 50% reduction in maltol and ferulic acid in the ginseng extract. The amounts of amlno acids were gradually decreased, but that of arginine was remarkably reduced.

In this paper, the surface recession of ablative materials was quantitatively analyzed using a high-speed camera and a three-dimensional profilometer. The ablation tests of the graphite and carbon/phenolic composite samples were performed using a 0.4 MW arc-heated wind tunnel for simulating the atmospheric re-entry environment. The real-time images during the ablation test were captured by the high-speed camera, and analyzed to calculate the surface recession and recession rate. Also, the surface data of samples were obtained using a three-dimensional profilometer, and the surface recession was precisely calculated from the difference of height between the surface data before and after the test. It is effective to complement the two measurement results in the comprehensive analysis of surface recession phenomena.

The formation of soluble microbial products(SMP) and molecular weight distribution on loading rate were observed in batch-type culture medium, which phenol was fed as a substrate. The molecular weight destribution was obtained by using 30K, 100K dalton and $0.45{\mu}$ membrane filters. When the phenol concentrationas a substrate was 120, 230 and 440 mg/L , the specific substrate utilization rate(q) showed 0.639, 1.281 and 1.744 mgTOC/mgMLSS/day, respectively. The endogenous biomass decay rate constant($K_d$) at each substrate concentration was 0.00536, 0.0661 and 0.0749($day^1$), respectively. The $SMP_e$ product rate constant($k_{SMP}_ e$) showed 0.006, 0.0058 and 0.0057($day^1$), respectively. The initial influent substrate during the course of time degraded and produced $SMP_s$. The $SMP_s$ was converted to the $SMP_{nd}$ and endogenous phase converted to the $SMP_e$ ingredients. The molecula weight distribution on loading rate was converted to a higher MW during the course of time.
