닥나무는 항산화, 항암 효과뿐 아니라 천연 미백기능성분으로 인정받아 화장품 원료로 사용되며 닥나무의 잎과 가지는 식약처에 등재된 식용이 가능한 원료이다. 닥나무는 아시아에서 종이 제조 및 한의학적 용도로 사용되었고 항당뇨 등의 효능이 있으며, 다양한 플라보노이드와 알칼로이드를 포함하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 닥나무 추출물의 피부 염증성 알러지 반응에 대한 효능을 평가하기 위하여, HaCaT 각질형성세포의 피부염증 억제와 RBL-2H3 세포의 알러지 반응 억제와 관련된 인자들에 미치는 영향에 관하여 연구하였다. HaCaT 및 RBL-2H3 세포에 대한 70% 에탄올 추출물의 세포독성은 나타나지 않았다. HaCaT 세포에서 TNF-𝛼와 IFN-𝛾의 자극으로 케모카인(TARC, MDC, RANTES) 생성이 증가하였으며, 시료처리에 따라 농도의존적으로 유의성 있게 감소하였다. 한편, IgE 처리로 활성화된 RBL-2H3 세포에서 증가하는 𝛽-hexosaminidase 방출과 염증성 사이토카인 TNF-𝛼, IL-4 생성이 시료 처리로 유의적으로 감소하는 것을 확인하였다. 따라서 닥나무 가지 추출물은 알러지 염증반응 완화 효과를 갖는 천연물 화장품 및 식품 원료로 활용이 가능할 것으로 예상된다.

Large efforts have recently been made on research and development of sustainable and energy-efficient short-cut nitrogen removal processes owing to strong attention to the energy neutral/positive wastewater treatment system. Anaerobic ammonium oxidizing bacteria (anammox bacteria) have been highlighted since 1990's due to their unique advantages including 60% less energy consumption, nearly 100% reduction for carbon source requirement, and 80% less sludge production. Side-stream short-cut nitrogen removal using anammox bacteria and partial nitritation anammox (PN/A) has been well established, whereas substantial challenges remain to be addressed mainly due to undesired main-stream conditions for anammox bacteria. These include low temperature, low concentrations of ammonia, nitrite, free ammonia, free nitrous acid or a combination of those. In addition, an anammox side-stream nitrogen management is insufficient to reduce overall energy consumption for energy-neutral or energy positive water resource recovery facility (WRRF) and at the same time to comply with nitrogen discharge regulation. This implies the development of the successful main-stream anammox based technology will accelerate a conversion of current wastewater treatment plants to sustainable water and energy recovery facility. This study discusses the status of the research, key mechanisms & interactions of the protagonists in the main-stream PN/A, and control parameters and major challenges in process development.

This study aimed to develop a compact partial nitritation step by forming granules with high Ammonia-Oxidizing Bacteria (AOB) fraction using the Air-lift Granulation Reactor (AGR) and to evaluate the feasibility of treating reject water with high ammonium content by combination with the Anammox process. The partial nitritation using AGR was achieved at high nitrogen loading rate ($2.25{\pm}0.05kg\;N\;m-3\;d^{-1}$). The important factors for successful partial nitritation at high nitrogen loading rate were relatively high pH (7.5~8), resulting in high free ammonia concentration ($1{\sim}10mg\;FA\;L^{-1}$) and highly enriched AOB granules accounting for 25% of the total bacteria population in the reactor. After the establishment of stable partial nitritation, an effluent $NO_2{^-}-N/NH_4{^+}-N$ ratio of $1.2{\pm}0.05$ was achieved, which was then fed into the Anammox reactor. A high nitrogen removal rate of $2.0k\; N\;m^{-3}\;d^{-1}$ was successfully achieved in the Anammox reactor. By controlling the nitrogen loading rate at the partial nitritation using AGR, the influent concentration ratio ($NO_2{^-}-N/NH_4{^+}-N=1.2{\pm}0.05$) required for the Anammox was controlled, thereby minimizing the inhibition effect of residual nitrite.

The positive temperature coefficient of resistivity (PTCR) effect in (1-x)$BaTiO_3$ - $x(Bi_{0.5}K_{0.5})TiO_3$ doped with $Nb_2O_5$ was investigated. $(Bi_{1/2}K_{1/2})TiO_3$ (BKT) is more environment-friendly than $PbTiO_3$ in order to use in PTC thermistors. The incorporation of 1 mol% BKT to $BaTiO_3$ increased the Curie temperature (Tc) to $148^{\circ}C$. Doping of $Nb_2O_5$ to $Ba_{0.99}(Bi_{0.5}K_{0.5})_{0.01}TiO_3$ (BaBKT) ceramic has enhanced its PTCR effects. For the sample containing 0.025 mol% $Nb_2O_5$, it showed good PTCR properties; low resistivity at room temperature (${\rho}_r$) of 30 $\Omega{\cdot}cm$, a high PTCR intensity of approximately $3.3\times10^3$, implying the ratio of maximum resistivity to minimum resistivity (${\rho}_{max}/{\rho}_{min}$) in the measured temperature range, and a large resistivity temperature factor (a) of 13.7%/$^{\circ}C$ along with a high Curie temperature (Tc) of $167^{\circ}C$. In addition, the cooling rate of the samples during the sintering process had an influence on their PTCR behavior. All the samples showed the best ${\rho}_{max}/{\rho}_{min}$ ratio when they have cooled down at a rate of $600^{\circ}C$/min.

A positive temperature coefficient of electrical resistivity (PTCR) was investigated in a ferroelectric lead-free perovskite-type compound $(Bi_{0.5}K_{0.5})TiO_3$ within $BaTiO_3$-based solid solution ceramics. The electrical properties and the microstructure of (1-x) $BaTiO_3$ - x $(Bi_{0.5}K_{0.5})TiO_3$ (BBKT) ceramics made using a conventional mixed and have been synthesized by an ordinary sintering technique. The Curie temperature was obviously increased with increasing of $(Bi_{0.5}K_{0.5})TiO_3$ content. The BKT ceramics (x=0.05) sintered at $1400^{\circ}C$ for 4h display low resistivity values of $10^1-10^2$ ohm cm at room temperature, PTCR effect(jump) of 1.05*$10^3$, and the Curie temperature of $T_c=141^{\circ}C$.

In this study, piezoelectric and dielectric properties of Lead-free $0.97[(K_{0.5}Na_{0.5})(Nb_{0.97}Sb_{0.03})O_3]+0.03[(Bi_{0.5}K_{0.5})TiO_3]$ (abbreviated as 0.97NKNS-0.03BKT)ceramics synthesized by conventional solid-state reaction process were investigated as a function of $K_{5.4}Cu_{1.3}Ta_{10}O_{29}$ addition. The results indicated that the $K_{5.4}Cu_{1.3}Ta_{10}O_{29}$ addition significantly improved the sinterability, grain growth and piezoelctric properties of 0.97NKNS-0.03BKT ceramics. The optimum values as planar piezoelectric coupling coefficient ($k_p$= 0.355), piezoelectric constant ($d_{33}$= 207 pC/N) and mechanical quality factor ($Q_m$= 128) were obtained when 0.009KCT was added. The electromechanical coupling factor($k_p$) was slightly decreased according to the increasing temperature.

Activated carbon is carbon produced from carbonaceous source materials, such as coconut shells, coals, and woods. In this study, an activated carbon production system was analyzed by carbonization and activation in terms of environmental impact and human health. The feedstock of wood wastes for the system reduced fossil fuel consumption and disposal costs. Life cycle assessment methodology was used to analyze the environmental impacts of the system, and the functional unit was one tonne of wood wastes. The boundary expansion method was applied to analyze the wood waste recycling process for activated carbon production. An environmental credit was quantified by avoided impact analysis. Specifically, greenhouse gases discharged from 1 kg of activated carbon production system by feeding wood wastes were evaluated. We found that this system reduced global warming potential of approximately $9.69E+00kg\;CO_2-eq$. compared to the process using coals. The environmental benefits for activated carbon production from wood wastes were analyzed in contrast to other disposal methods. The results showed that the activated carbon system using one tonne of wood wastes has an environmental benefit of $163kg\;CO_2-eq$. for reducing global warming potential in comparison with the same amount of wood wastes disposal by landfilling.

가축분뇨 슬러지는 유기물의 농도가 높고 일부 중금속이 높은 농도로 혼합되어 있어 해양에 배출될 경우 환경에 부정적인 영향을 끼칠 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 가축분뇨 슬러지 처리에 열가수분해 기술을 적용하여 연료화 가능성을 판단하고 최적 운전조건을 도출하고자 하였다. 밀폐형 고압반응기를 사용하여 가축분뇨 슬러지를 $170{\sim}210^{\circ}C$까지 온도변화를 주면서 열가수분해 하였고, 반응 후 생성된 액상생성물과 탈수케이크의 분석을 실시하였다. 반응온도 $190^{\circ}C$로 운전하는 것이 가장 효과적인 것으로 나타났으며, 반응온도 $190^{\circ}C$일 때 고체생성물의 고위발열량은 5,050 kcal/kg, 저위발열량은 4,740 kcal/kg으로 연료로서 충분히 가치가 있는 것으로 판단되었다.

본 연구에서는 열가수분해 기술을 이용하여 AI 발생으로 인해 살처분된 가금류 사체를 처리하고 연료화 가능성을 판단하고자 하였다. 실험결과 가금류 사체는 일부 모래를 제외하고 모두 액상화 되었으며, 운전온도 $190^{\circ}C$, 운전시간 60분에서 최적효율을 나타냈다. 열가수분해 후 발생한 액상생성물은 탄소 함유량과 발열량이 높고 회분의 함량이 낮아 연료화 하기에 좋은 조건을 가지고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 별도의 보조연료 투입 없이 연소 시 발생하는 폐열만을 활용해 열가수분해 설비를 운전하는 것이 가능하였으며, 연소 시 발생하는 배출가스는 대기에 미치는 영향은 적은 것으로 나타났다.
