인체접촉시 니켈도금의 알러지 반응을 억제하기 위한 대체 도금기술인 비 시안계 Cu-Sn 합금도금을 개발함에 있어서, 황산구리5수화물과 황산제일주석을 금속염으로 하여 황산 및 계면활성제, 유화제 등을 포함한 각종 유기첨가제를 포함하였고 특히 은백색조의 외관 색상과 안정적인 Cu-Sn 합금전착을 위해 2종의 착화제인 EDTP (Ethylenediaminetetrapropanol, $C_{14}H_{32}N_2O_4$)와 TEA (Triethanolamine)를 첨가한 비 시안계 Cu-Sn 합금 도금액을 도출하였다. Cu-Sn 합금도금 피막 조성의 균일화를 도모하기 위해서는 합금 도금액중의 Cu와 Sn 금속이온 농도를 일정하게 유지하는 것이 필요하다. 그러나 합금 도금액 중 2가 주석이온($Sn^{2+}$)은 수용액 중에서 4가 주석이온($Sn^{4+}$)으로 산화됨으로써 도금액 색상이 백탁이 되고 Stannic Hydroxide($Sn(OH)_4$, $SnO_2{\cdot}2H_2O$)이 생성되어 대량의 침전물이 침강하는 문제점이 발생되는 등시간 경과에 따른 도금액의 경시 변화가 발생되었다. 상기 침전물은 연속여과에 의해 제거 가능하나 합금 도금액 중 $Sn^{2+}$ 농도가 지속적으로 감소하게 된다. 이는 합금 도금액 중 금속이온 비율이 변동함으로써 합금도금 피막의 조성비를 일정하게 유지하는 것이 곤란해진다. 이에 $Sn^{4+}$ 침전물 생성을 방지하기 위한 산화방지제를 개발하고 또한 산화방지제의 첨가에 따른 도금 피막 외관에 미치는 영향을 평가하여 외관 개선을 위한 광택제를 개발하고자 한다. 본 연구의 결과를 토대로 니켈도금과 동등 이상의 기능 특성을 갖는 비 시안계 Cu-Sn 합금도금액을 개발하여 실용화하는 것을 목적으로 하였다.

We investigated the antioxidative effect of black garlic extract (BGE) on paraquat (PQ)- induced oxidative stress in mice. A DPPH radical scavenging activity assay showed that BGE had potent free radical scavenging activity, comparable to that exhibited by vitamin C. Mice were administered with either vitamin C or two levels of BGE by oral gavage for 10 days, with PQ being injected intraperitoneally on day five. It was found that BGE reduced the liver enzyme levels induced by PQ injection in mice. The concentrations of plasma and hepatic malonedialdehyde were both significantly reduced in the BGE groups compared with the levels in the PQ group, whereas the hepatic superoxide dismutase and catalase activities were significantly increased in the BGE groups compared with the PQ group. These findings suggest that BGE has potent antioxidative activities in vivo and thus could prevent the oxidative stress induced by PQ injection in mice by two mechanisms: the induction of antixoxidative enzyme systems and direct scavenging of reactive oxygen species.

This study was conducted in order to evaluate the antioxidant activity of extruded ginseng in different extracted fractions. Each of the fractions obtained from extruded ginseng and ginseng (control) were extracted with 80% ethanol, and then the lipophilic components were removed with ether while the hydrophilic components were separated with water-saturated butanol. Each of the 80% ethanol/butanol/water layers were collected and evaporated to acquire samples for tests of saponin content and antioxidant activity. The antioxidant activity of extruded ginseng fractions and ginseng fractions were determined via the oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) assay. Overall, the extruded ginseng samples harbored saponin contents of 2.2 (Rg1), 2.3 (Re), 1.2 (Rc), 1.3 (Rb2), and 2.2 (Rd) times that measured in the ginseng prior to extrusion. Antioxidant capacity was also higher, not only in the 80% ethanol/butanol which harbor a significant quantity of saponin, but also in the water fractions, which harbor relatively low quantities of saponin as compared to the control samples. All three of the fractions extracted from extruded ginseng evidence significantly higher antioxidant capacity than the controls (0.05

Deactivation of SCR catalysts applied in coal, orimulsion, and LNG power plants in Korea were studied for the regeneration of the deactivated catalyst. The catalysts were characterized by XRD, ICP-AES, BET and SEM, and were examined for ammonia SCR. Deactivation of SCR catalyst applied in coal power plant was mainly caused by the blockade of the pore due to the deposition of sulfate and particulate related to the ingredients of the fuel. The surface area of SCR catalyst applied in orimulsion power plant decreased considerably by the accumulation of the compounds of vanadium, sulfur, and magnesium on the surface of the catalyst. The compounds of vanadium and sulfur were related to the ingredients of the fuel, and the compound of magnesium was related to the additive of the fuel. The activity of the deactivated catalyst for ammonia SCR, however, decreased slightly. Despite the long use for more than two-year, deactivation of SCR catalyst applied in LNG power plants hardly occurred.

Aminated poly(ether sulfone)(APES) was prepared by amination of nitrated poly(ether sulfone)(NPES) after poly(ether sulfone)(PES) was nitrated with mixed acid of nitric acid and sulfuric acid(sulfuric acid is a catalyst). As a results of the FT-IR spectrum analysis, the nitration of PES was confirmed by the bands of asymmetric stretching and symmetric stretching of $NO_2$ group at 1537 and $1351cm^{-1}$, respectively. Also when the NPES was aminated, it was disappeared to absorbance peaks of $NO_2$ group. And It was confirmed by the bands of asymmetric stretching and symmetric stretching of $NH_2$ group at 3470 and $3374cm^{-1}$, respectively. The optimum condition of the nitration on PES(5 g; 21.55 mmol.) was 12 hr of reaction time, $120^{\circ}C$ of reaction temperature, nitric acid of 28.00 mmol. and sulfuric acid of 52.00 mmol. As a result of the elemental analysis of APES, reapeating unit per amine groups were induced to 0.89. The adsorption rate of NO gas was lower than that of silica gel and active carbon. But the adsorption capacity of NO gas was higher than that of these. When the APES was absorbed to NO gas, the chemical adsorption rate was lower than the physical adsorption rate. But the chemical adsorption capacity of it was higher than physical adsorption capacity.

A microorganism which produced D-glucose isomerase was identified to be similar to Streptomyces antibioticus on the morphological, cultural and physiological characteristics except the spore chain and the utilization of sucrose. D-xylose grown cells of Streptomyces sp. strain K-17 were disrupted by grinding with sea sand. D-glucose isomerase was partially purified with the fractionation by ammonium sulfate, Mn-treatment, DEAE-cellulose column chromatography, DEAE-sephadex (A-50) column chromatography and gel filtration of sephadex G-200. The enzyme was purified about 380 fold with 25 ％ recovery.

Fucoidans are sulfated fucosylated polymers from the cell wall of brown algae. We assessed the effects of Fucus evanescens fucoidan on ultraviolet-B (UVB)-induced expression of matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) protein, mRNA, and promoter, and the phosphorylation of mitogen-activated protein kinases in vitro using an immortalized human keratinocyte cell line. Pretreatment with 10 and $100\;{\mu}g/ml$ fucoidan significantly inhibited UVB-induced MMP-1 protein, mRNA and promoter activity, compared to UVB irradiation alone. Extracellular signal regulated kinase activation was markedly inhibited by treatment with fucoidan, though c-JUN N-terminal kinase activity and p38 activation were only marginally affected by fucoidan. F. evanescens fucoidan may be a potential therapeutic agent for the prevention and treatment of skin photoaging.

Fresh, washed ginseng can be contaminated with microorganism loads as high as 6.5 log CFU/g for total bacteria and 4.3 log CFU/g for mold. The goal of this study was to test eight antibacterial agents on ginseng. Immersing fresh ginseng washed in 1% (w/w) sodium citrate, sodium diacetate, sodium acetate, citric acid, and sodium lactate solution for 1 h resulted in a bactericidal effect of 31.0-97.5% for total bacteria. Among the organic acids, sodium citrate had the best antibacterial effect, with total bacteria reduced from 6.5 log to 4.9 log CFU/g. A 1% (w/w) vitamin B₁ lauryl sulfate solution with surfactant function by hydrophilic and hydrophobic sites can reduce 2.7 log CFU/g (99.8% inactivation) on total bacteria. In the 1% (w/w) calcium oxide solution, total bacteria were reduced by 3 log, showing an excellent inactivation effect of 99.9%. Calcium oxide is a highly useful material for inactivation of microorganisms in fresh ginseng.

The deactivation of $V/TiO_2$ catalyst used in SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) using ammonia as a reductant to remove the nitrogen oxides (NOx) in the exhaust gas from fired power plant has been studied. The activity and surface area of the catalyst (Used-cat) which was exposed to the exhaust gas for long period have considerably decreased. The characterizations of these SCR catalysts were performed by XRD, FT-IR, FE-SEM, and IC/ICP. The crystal structure of $TiO_2$ both fresh and used catalyst has not been changed. However, $(NH_4)HSO_4$ deposited on the used catalyst surface verified from FT-IR, FE-SEM, and IC/ICP analysis. Moreover, the durability of $SO_2$ was increased by diminishing sulfate ($SO_4^{-2}$)f form.
