The efficiency of microwave-assisted acid hydrolysis of seaweeds for the production of ethanol was investigated and its effect on hydrolysis into reducing sugar and fermentation into ethanol evaluated as compared with those by conventional heating. A brown seaweed, Laminaria japonica (10-100g/L) was hydrolysed under dilute acidic condition (0.5N $H_2SO_4$, $100^{\circ}C$) with two sorts of heating: microwave irradiation for ${\leq}10min$ and conventional heating for 10-60min. Microwave-assisted hydrolysis was shown to be more efficient. A similar range of reducing sugar and ethanol yields as with the conventional autoclave heating procedure(${\geq}30min$) was observed, but it was obvious that production of ethanol from microwave-assisted hydrolysis had a 3 times faster reaction rate leading to very short production times, lower energy consumption/loss than from the conventional heating mode, and higher biomass loading without significant reducing ethanol yield, thus microwave-assisted acid hydrolysis is a potential alternative method for more effective hydrolysis of Laminaria japonica.

Spin-coated waterborne polyurethane to protect glass surface from environmental attacks was cured by using microwave heating. The effect of microwave heating on the reaction kinetics, chemical durability, and transmittance of polyurethane was investigated. In comparison to the conventional heating the results show that the microwave heating substantially accelerates the curing process of waterborne polyurethane and the total time for the completion of the reaction is only 1/7 of that in the conventional process. The microwave cured sample showed an excellent caustic resistance compared to conventional cured one. It means that microwave heating produces dense structure during curing process. The dense structure does not affect to the transmittance in the visible region.

마이크로파 가열(microwave heating)에 의하여 제올라이트 NaY를 합성하였으며, 그 결과를 기존의 가열 방법(conventional heating)에 의하여 합성한 결과와 비교하였다. 같은 승온 속도를 사용하였을 때는 마이크로파에 의하여 가열하였을 때가 기존의 가열 방법에 비하여 NaY 결정 생성의 유도 기간(induction period)이 감소하였으며 결정의 생성 속도가 증가하였다. 또한 마이크로파의 사용 여부와 관계없이 승온 속도가 빠를 때도 유도 기간이 감소하고 결정 생성 속도가 증가하였다. 빠른 승온 속도에서 합성하였을 때 최종 결정의 크기가 크며, 이는 마이크로파의 사용에 의하여 더욱 증가하였다. 빠른 승온 속도에서는 반응 시간이 짧아져서 NaY의 합성에 소모되는 에너지 소모량은 감소하였다. 본 연구의 조건에서는 에틸렌글리 콜조(ethylene glycol bath)를 사용한 기존 가열 방법에서의 에너지 소모량이 마이크로파 가열보다 적게 나타났는데, 이는 마이크로파 에너지를 사용하는 것이 항상 효율적인 것만은 아니라는 것을 말해준다. 그러나 승온 속도를 적절히 조절하면 마이크로파 가열에 의해서 에너지 면에서 보다 효율적으로 NaY를 합성할 수 있다는 것을 알 수 있었다

The purpose of this study was to determine the thermal inactivation of Salmonella enteritidis, Salmonella typhimurium and E. coli O111 in liquid cultures treated with microwave energy. Furthermore, this study was to introduce new methodologies for studying nonthermal microwave effects on microorganisms, using controlled microwave energy and specially designed apparatuses. For the automatic temperature control during microwave heating, the real time data acquisition and computation system is designed with BASIC routine. The automatic temperature control system used in the experiments perform relatively stable control at the experiment temperature of 45, 50, 55 60$^{\circ}C$ and 65$^{\circ}C$ for 30 minutes. The effects of microwave heating on liquid cultures was compared with that of conventional heating, still reduces effectively the number of pathogenic bacteria in liquid cultures. While no particular differences between microwave heating and conventional heating was observed in the activation of E. coli at 45$^{\circ}C$ test, the activation of Sal. enteritidis and Sal. typhimurium was slightly reduced during the microwave treatments.

The effectiveness of microwave-assisted protein digestion in different well positions of a 96-well microplate was investigated where microwave-assisted protein digestion of bovine serum albumin was performed in 10 different wells of a 96-well microplate in a microwave oven. Similarly increased sequence coverages (~70%) were generally observed for the 10 microwave-assisted protein digestion samples compared to conventional overnight digestion (63%), which is possibly due to higher miscleavage ratios (~53%) of the samples from microwave-assisted protein digestion than conventional overnight digestion (42.1%). The reproducible results of microwave-assisted digestions from different well positions demonstrate the potential of high-throughput analysis of proteins using microwave-assisted protein digestion.

Benzothieno[2,3-d]pyrimidines (2,3,4) and benzothieno[3,2-e][1,3,4]triazolo[4,3-c] pyrimidines (5a-c) were synthesized from the precursor 2-amino-7-oxo-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1-benzothiophene-3-carbonitrile 1 by employing the conventional method as well as the microwave irradiation technique. The precursor 2-amino-3-cyanothiophene analogue 1 was synthesized by employing the well-known Gewald reaction. In the present work it has been found that the microwave supported syntheses are more efficient than the conventional classical heating methods. The structures of all the compounds were ascertained by spectral and analytical data.

This study was carried out to develop an efficient process far the elimination of phenol pollutant from soils. An microwave-assisted process (MAP) and a conventional Soxhlet extraction method (SEM) were employed to extract phenol from two types of soils. The effects of extraction methods, aged time of the spiked soil samples, extraction solvent and extraction time on the extraction performance were compared. Our results demonstrate that the recoveries from standard soil spiked were at least 10% higher fer MAP than these f3r the conventional Soxhlet. The extraction time by MAP requires significantly shelter time (1 min) than 15 h of the conventional Soxhlet. The recoveries from non-contaminated soil spiked with phenol were also almost identical f3r above results. The reduction of the extraction times with efficiency higher than that afforded by the conventional Soxhlet technique supports the suitability of the MAP method.

PURPOSE. The purpose of this study was to compare the optical properties of pre-colored dental monolithic zirconia ceramics of various thicknesses sintered in a microwave and those in a conventional furnace. MATERIALS AND METHODS. A2-shade of pre-colored monolithic zirconia ceramic specimens ($22.0mm{\times}22.0mm$) in 3 thickness groups of 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 mm were divided into 2 subgroups according to the sintering methods (n=9): microwave and conventional sintering. A spectrophotometer was used to obtain CIELab color coordinates, and translucency parameters and CIEDE2000 color differences (${\Delta}E_{00}$) were measured. The relative amount of monoclinic phase ($X_m$) was estimated with x-ray diffraction. The surface topography was analyzed by atomic force microscope and scanning electron microscope. Statistical analyses were conducted with two-way ANOVA (${\alpha}=.05$). RESULTS. There were small interaction effects on CIE $L^*$, $a^*$, and TP between sintering method and thickness (P<.001): $L^*$ (partial eta squared ${{\eta}_p}^2=0.115$), $a^*$ (${{\eta}_p}^2=0.136$), and TP (${{\eta}_p}^2=0.206$), although higher $b^*$ values were noted for microwave sintering regardless of thickness. Color differences between two sintering methods ranged from 0.52 to 0.96 ${\Delta}E_{00}$ units. The $X_m$ values ranged from 7.03% to 9.89% for conventional sintering, and from 7.31% to 9.17% for microwave sintering. The microwave-sintered specimen demonstrated a smoother surface and a more uniform grain structure compared to the conventionally-sintered specimen. CONCLUSION. With reduced processing time, microwave-sintered pre-colored dental monolithic zirconia ceramics can exhibit similar color perception and translucency to those by conventional sintering.

마이크로파 시료 분해법이 식물체와 퇴비 중의 K, Ca, Mg, Cu, Zn, Mn등을 분석하는데 적합한가를 검정하기 위하여 기존의 습식분해법과 비교하였다. 분석시간은 기존의 습식분해법이 4~6시간 걸리던 것에 비하여 마이크로파 분해법에서는 1시간 이하로 단축할 수 있었으며, 두 분석법간의 각 성분별 분석값의 상관계수($R^2$)는 각각 K 0.98, Ca 0.97, Mg 0.91, Zn 0.94, Mn 0.99, Cu 0.99를 나타내었다. 칼륨과 칼슘의 경우 기존 습식분해법의 분석값이 더 높은 경향을 나타내었고 구리, 망간, 아연의 경우는 마이크로파 분해법의 분석값이 더 높은 경향을 나타내었으나 마그네슘의 경우 일정한 경향이 없었다. 그러나 칼슘의 경우를 제외한 그 외 성분들의 편기도(biases)는 10% 이내였다.

본 시험은 L. monocytogenes KCTC 3443을 액체 배양한 후, 일반적인 열처리 및 마이크로파를 조사함으로써 가열효과에 의한 균의 불활성효과를 파악하는데 그 목적을 두었다. 2,450MHz, microwave oven을 통한 마이크로파의 온도 제어는 시료가 각각의 시험 설정 온도에 도달한 후 30분간 온도를 유지할 수 있도록 컴퓨터에 의해 제어되었으며, 온도의 편차는 ${\pm}1^{\circ}C$ 정도로 비교적 안정된 제어 효과를 보여주었다. 마이크로파 조사와 일반 가열처리 간의 균의 불활성효과를 비교한 시험에서는 55, 65, $75^{\circ}C$ 및 $85^{\circ}C$의 제어온도에서 거의 유사한 불활성도를 보여주었으며 이와같은 결과로 미루어 L. monocytogenes KCTC3443의 경우, 마이크로파 조사에 의한 비가 열 효과는 없는 것으로 보여진다. 아울러 공시균주인 L. monocytogenes KCTC3443는 $85^{\circ}C$의 30분간 가열에서도 약 $10^2{\sim}10^3cells/ml$의 균체가 생존하는 것으로 나타나 식품의 조리나 가열 후에도 2차 오염의 위험이 있는 병원성 균주로 주위가 요구된다.
