유리지방산 함량이 높은 원료의 효율적인 바이오디젤 생산을 위해 다양한 고체산 촉매를 사용하여 회분식 반응기에서 유리지방산의 에스터화 반응에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 고체산 촉매는 상용 촉매인 황산기를 지닌 이온교환수지(Amberlyst-15, Dowex 50Wx8)와 실리카겔에 술폰기 및 염화술폰기 지닌 산성 이온성 액체가 고정화된 촉매($SiO_2-[ASBI][HSO_4]$, $SiO_2-[ASCBI][HSO_4]$), 단순히 실리카겔에 술폰기 및 염화술폰기의 산성적 기능기를 도입한 촉매들을 사용하여 반응특성을 비교하였다. 또한 에스터화 반응 실험변수로써 반응시간, 온도, 반응물간의 몰 비율(메탄올:올레산), 촉매량에 대한 영향을 조사하였다. 사용된 고체산 촉매들 중 실리카겔에 고정화된 알릴이미다졸리움을 포함한 산성 이온성 액체 촉매가 가장 우수한 반응성을 나타내었다. 특히 실리카겔에 3-allyl-1-(4-sulfobutyl)imidazolium hydrogen sulfate가 고정화된 $SiO_2-[ASBI][HSO_4]$ 촉매가 같은 반응조건에서 기존의 알려진 Amberlyst-15보다 더 나은 성능을 보였으며, 353 K 반응온도와 5 wt%의 촉매량, 메탄올/올레산의 몰 비율 20의 조건에서 2시간 동안 약 96%의 높은 전환율을 나타내었다. $SiO_2-[ASBI][HSO_4]$의 높은 촉매 활성은 실리카에 고정화된 강한 브뢴스테드산의 작용기에 기인한 것으로 생각된다. 바이오디젤로부터 촉매의 분리 및 회수는 간단한 경사법 혹은 여과법에 의해 쉽게 분리할 수 있고, 이를 회수하여 재사용이 가능하다.

Acetohydroxy acid synthase (AHAS) is one of several enzymes that require thiamine diphosphate and a divalent cation as essential cofactors. The active site contains several conserved ionizable groups and all of these appear to be important as judged by the fact that mutation diminishes or abolishes catalytic activity. Recently, we have shown [Yoon, M.-Y., Hwang, J.-H., Choi, M.-K., Baek, D.-K., Kim, J., Kim, Y.-T., Choi, J.-D. FEBS Letters 555 (2003), 185-191] that the activity is pH-dependent due to changes in $V_{max}$ and V/$K_m$. Data were consistent with a mechanism in which substrate was selectively catalyzed by the enzyme with an unprotonated base having a pK 6.48, and a protonated group having a pK of 8.25 for catalysis. Here, we have in detail studied the pH dependence of the kinetic parameters of the cofactors (ThDP, FAD, $Mg^{2+}$) in order to obtain information about the chemical mechanism in the active site. The $V_{max}$ of kinetic parameters for all cofactors was pH-dependent on the basic side. The pK of ThDP, FAD and $Mg^{2+}$ was 9.5, 9.3 and 10.1, respectively. The V/$K_m$ of kinetic parameters for all cofactors was pH-dependent on the acidic and on the basic side. The pK of ThDP, FAD and $Mg^{2+}$ was 6.2-6.4 on the acidic side and 9.0-9.1 on the basic side. The well-conserved histidine mutant (H392) did not affect the pH-dependence of the kinetic parameters. The data are discussed in terms of the acid-base chemical mechanism.

본 연구에서는 red mud(RM)를 0.1, 1, 그리고 5M 의 H$_3PO_4$ 용액으로 화학적 표면처리하여 에폭시/RM 나노복합재료를 제조하였으며, RM 표면의 pH, 표면 산-염기도, 표면적, 그리고 기공도를 이용하여 표면처리에 의한 영향을 분석하였다. 또한, 임계응력 세기인자(K$_{IC}$)를 통하여 제조된 복합재료의 기계적 계면물성을 조사하였다. 실험결과로부터, 표면처리에 의한 RM의 표면은 hydroxyl 등의 산성관능기 그룹의 생성과 금속산화물의 반응으로 인하여 표면 산도가 증가하고, 미세기공 및 중기공 구조가 발달하여 비표면적이 증가되었다. K(IC)를 이용한 RM의 기계적 계면성질은 비표면적이 증가함과 동시에 표면산도가 증가함으로 염기성 매트릭스와의 계면결합력이 증대되어 순수 에폭시와 처리되지 않은 에폭시/RM 복합재료보다 더 우수한 기계적 계면물성을 나타내었다.

The advent of photonic technologies in the field of communications and data transmission has been heavily increasing the demand in integrated optical (IO) circuits capable of accomplishing not only simple tasks like signal, but also more sophisticated functions like all-optical signal routing or active multiplexing/demultiplexing. In the last decade, sol-gel technology has been widely used to prepare optical materials. Sol-gel processes show many promises for the development of low-loss, high-performance glass integrated optical circuits. However, crack formation is likely to occur during heat treatment in thick gel films. In order to overcome the critical thickness limitation, the organic-modified silicate has been widely used. In this case coating matrices have been prepared from the organo-silanes of T structures, acidic catalyst and the as-prepared gel films have been heat-treated below 200$^{\circ}C$ to avoid the crack formation and the degradation of organic components. However, the films prepared in the acidic condition and the low heat temperature make the films contain high OH groups which is the major optical loss function. In this work, C$\sub$6/H$\sub$5/SiO$\sub$1.5/ films were prepared on silicon substrate by sol-gel method using base catalyst in a PTMS/NH$_4$OH/H$_2$O/C$_2$H$\sub$5/OH system. The sol showed spinable viscosity at 50 wt% of solid content, and neglectable viscosity change with time. The films were crack-free and transparent after curing at 450 $^{\circ}C$, and highly condensed to minimize OH content in C$\sub$6/H$\sub$5/SiO$\sub$1.5/ networks. The effects of heat treatment of the films are characterized on the critical thickness, the chemical composition and the refractive indices by means of SEM, FT-IR, TGA, prism coupler, respectively.

Corrosion inhibition of mild steel by nevirapine, an antiretroviral has been investigated using potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy technique and weight loss methods. The experimental results suggested, nevirapine is a good corrosion inhibitor for mild steel in 1M hydrochloric acid medium and the inhibition efficiency increased with increase in inhibitor concentration. The kinetic parameters for corrosion process and thermodynamic parameters for adsorption process were calculated and discussed. The adsorption of the inhibitor on the surface of mild steel followed Langmuir adsorption isotherm.

Organophosphorous compounds can be reduced by zinc metal in acidic solution after alkaline hydrolysis. Although phosphates and phosphonates did not evolve any gas, dithioates did evolve hydrogen sulfide and phosphine, thionates and thiolates did evolve only hydrogen sulfide. The evolved gases were qualitatively detected by means of lead acetate and silver nitrate or mercuric bromide papers and determined by spectrophotometrically. The reduction mechanism and analytical method of dithioates were proposed.

It is demonstrated in this study that the nanoliter reactor arrays with an inkjet printing, can be used for high throughput screen of antibiotic function. As a model antibiotic, gramicidin was used in this study. The gramicidin embedded lipid vesicles were immobilized on the surface in the nanoliter reactor structure with control of the volume in the nanoliter reactor. By dispensing acidic drops into the reactor, the gramicidin function was monitored. The technique developed in this research also has a great potential to be used for discovery of drugs.

Sonochemical Reformatsky reaction of aldehydes or ketones with ethyl bromoacetate in the presence of indium afforded $\beta-hydroxyesters$ in good to excellent yields under mild conditions. 2- or 3-Hydroxybenzaldehyde that contains an acidic hydrogen r eacted with ethyl bromoacetate to provide the desired compounds with the same efficiency. In the case of ethyl 2-bromopropanoate and ethyl 2-bromo-2-methylpropanoate, the desired products were obtained in good yields. Reaction of aldehyde with indium reagent in the presence of ketone group proceeded chemoselectively.

The chemistry, antimicrobial properties, organic soil resistance, toxicity, corrosivity and chemical stability of stabilized alkaline 2%, glutaraldehyde solution(SGS) are discussed. SGS retains the maximum antimicrobial activity of alkaline glutaraldehyde solutions and the chemical stability here to fore observed only with acidic glutaraldehyde solutions. These improvements, along with the inherent resistance of glutaradehyde to neutralization by organic soil, allow SGS to be continuously used for 14 days in situations of high dilution, or 28 days in situations of low dilution.
