In bioengineering field, current academic trends and informations on crystallization technology for bioproduct separation were summarized. It is essential for utilizing the crystallization technology to understand the fundamental phenomena of crystallization of crystal nucleation, crystal growth, crystal agglomeration and population balance for the design of crystallizers. In general, the crystal nucleation that the crystalline solids occur from the solution is analyzed by Gibb's free energy change in the aspect of thermodynamics and in the present paper the crystal nucleation models based on the above thermodynamics are summarized by their key characteristics. The crystal growth and agglomeration, which have been studied over 50 years and are essential phenomena for separation technology, are reviewed from their basic concept to most leading edge trend of researches. In the material and population balances for the designs of crystallization separation process, the analysis of crystallizers is summarized. Thereon, the present review paper will academically contribute the understanding the crystallization phenomena and the design of the crystallization separation process.

The CSD (crystal size distribution) of diopside crystals in the calc-silicate hornfels of the Hwanggangni Formation intruded by the Cretaceous Daeyasan granite shows the patterns of continuous nucleation and growth. There is correlation between the distance from the intrusion contact and the slopes from the linear part of log(population density) vs. size diagrams. In the log(population density) vs. size diagrams of the samples systematically collected from the intrusion contact, two different groups are recognized; the slopes for the samples near the intrusion contact (horizontal distance from the contact less than 50m) are gentler (1500$cm^{-1}$) than those for the samples away from the intrusion contact (2500$cm^{-1}$, distance from the contact greater than 100 m). These differences may reflect the differences in growth rates and crystallization time, or the differences in diopside-forming reactions. All of the log(population density) vs. size diagrams show depletion of smaller crystals. The observed depletion may be due to Ostwald ripening or the changes in nucleation rates as the reactant phases diminishes. Similar grouping is also possible for the observed degree of depletion of smaller crystals; the depletion decreases with increasing distance from the intrusion contact, suggesting temperature-dependent rates of Ostwald ripening.

Particle size distribution in a Continuous Mixed Suspension Mixed Crystal Removal (CMSMPR) crystallizer has been analyzed using the Population Balance (PB) model. This method presents difficulties when the growth rate of crystal depends on the crystal size. Recent studies indicate that in many cases the growth rate is dependent on size when the crystal sizes are small. In this study, a Residence Time Distribution(RTD) model was proposed to take the size dependence into account together with an appropriate numerical scheme. When compared with the approximate results based on PB model, RTD model results showed improvements also a nucleation effect which is normally unimportant for steady state analysis. Start-up data for NaCl-Water-Ethanol system was compared with computed values.

표면상변이 현상은 표면 흡착입자들 사이에 강력한 인력포텐셜이 존재할 경우 일어나는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 논문에서는 표면상변이 현상의 강인력 의존성을 간단한 점유통계를 이용하여 고찰하였다. 압력이 임계점에 도달하였을 때 표면 결정화가 급속히 진행되는 상변이 효과가 나타났으며, 온도가 증가함에 따라서 상변이가 일어나는 임계압력은 증가하였다. 이러한 결과는 표면상변이 현상에 대한 정성적 고찰로 사료된다.

하나의 광물상은 다양한 기원과 결정성장사를 기록하는 여러 개의 결정군집(crystal population)으로 분류될 수 있다. 울릉도 남동부에서 단사휘석 거정을 포함하면서, 유리질 급냉대(타킬라이트, tachylyte)를 가지는 반상 암맥이 발견되었다. 이 암석에 대한 암석기재학적 접근을 통해 이들이 포함하는 결정군집에 대한 연구가 수행되었다. 이번 연구는 전자 미세탐침 분석기를 사용해 이 암석을 구성하는 타킬라이트와 조암광물의 주성분원소 조성을 보고한다. 타킬라이트는 조면안산암질 조성을 가지며, 어떠한 변질의 흔적도 보이지 않는다. 이러한 특징은 타킬라이트의 조성이 이 암맥의 원래 멜트 조성을 반영할 수 있다는 점을 시사한다. 0.5mm 보다 큰 결정크기를 가지는 단사휘석과 사장석은 조면안산암질 멜트보다 초생적인 조성을 가졌던 멜트와 평형을 이루었던 재활결정(antecryst)으로 판단된다. 한편, 0.5 mm 보다 작은 결정크기를 가지는 단사휘석 및 사장석 미정(microlite)은 현재 위치에서 결정화된 초생결정(primocryst)이다. 이번 연구 결과에 따르면, 울릉도 화산단계 I 도동현무암에 대해 기존에 보고된 단사휘석의 조성변화 양상은 [Mg+Si+Fe]_basal ↔ [Al+Ti+Na]_prism를 통해 체계적으로 설명될 수 있으며, 이는 도동현무암에 포함된 모든 단사휘석이 섹터누대를 가질 수 있다는 점을 시사한다. 따라서, 단사휘석의 섹터누대에서 기인한 원소 분배가 도동현무암의 지구화학적 진화에 미친 영향이 추후 연구에 반영되어야 할 것으로 판단된다.

해조류의 증식에 가장 큰 영향을 주는 것은 증식에 필요한 영양소와 적절한 수온 등 성장환경을 적절하게 유지시킬 필요가 있으나 해조류의 종류가 매우 다양하여 이들 각각에 개별적으로 대처하는 것이 매우 어렵다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 실제의 미생물이 서식하고 있는 원수를 이용하여 적절한 온도를 유지시켜 미생물의 증식을 촉진시키고 이러한 미생물의 개체수를 측정하는 센서를 개발하였다. 이 센서를 이용하면 해조류의 양이 갑자기 증가하는 초기상황을 찾아낼 수 있으므로 해조류의 급격한 증식을 미리 예측할 수 있다.

Synthetic dyes are widely used in various industries and their wastage causes severe environmental problems while being hazardous to human health, leading to the need for eco-friendly degradation techniques. The split-gill fungus Schizophyllum commune, which is found worldwide, has the potential to degrade all components of the lignocellulosic biomass and is a candidate for the treatment of synthetic dyes. A systematic molecular analysis of 75 Korean and 6 foreign S. commune strains has revealed the high genetic diversity of this population and its important contribution to the total diversity of S. commune. We examined the dye decolorization ability of this population and revealed 5 excellent strains that strongly decolorized 3 dyes: Crystal Violet, Congo Red and Methylene Blue. Finally, comparison of dye decolorization ability and the phylogenetic identification of these strains generalized their genetic and physiological diversity. This study provides an initial resource for physiological and genetic research projects as well as the bioremediation of textile dyes.

A novel crystal, the mono-protonated metformin acetate (1), was obtained and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. It was found that one of the imino group in the metformin cation was protonated along with the proton transfer from the secondary amino group to the other imino group. Its crystal structure was then compared with the previously reported diprotonated metformin oxalate (2). The difference between them is that the mono-protonated metformin cations can be linked by hydrogen bonding to form dimers while the diprotonated metformin cations cannot. Both of them are stabilized by intermolecular hydrogen bonds to assemble a 3-D supermolecular structure. The four potential tautomer of the mono-protonated metformin cation (tautomers 1a, 1b, 1c and 1d) were optimized and their single point energies were calculated by Density Functional Theory (DFT) B3LYP method based on the Polarized Continuum Model (PCM) in water, which shows that the most likely existed tautomer in human cells is the same in the crystal structure. Based on the optimized structure, their Wiberg bond orders, Natural Population Analysis (NPA) atomic charges, molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) maps were calculated to analyze their electronic structures, which were then compared with the corresponding values of the diprotonated metformin cation (cation 2) and the neutral metformin (compound 3). Finally, the possible tautomeric mechanism of the mono-protonated metformin cation was discussed based on the observed phenomena.

Background: The objective of this study was to measure the antibody content of NuTu-19 ovarian cancer cells in serum samples using a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) immunosensor. Materials and Methods: NuTu-19 cells were first cultured onto the electrode surfaces of crystals in Dulbecco's modified Eagle medium, and then specified amounts of immunized serum samples of immunized rabbit were also added. The change in mass caused by specific adsorbtion of antibodies of NuTu-19 to the surfaces of the crystals was detected. Results: The change in resonance frequency of crystals caused by immobilization of NuTu-19 cells was from 83 to 429Hz. The antibody content of NuTu-19 detected was 341ng/ul. The frequency shifts were linearly dependent on the amount of antibody mass in the range of 69 to 340ng. The positive detection rate and the negative detection rate were 80% and 100%, respectively. Conclusion: This immunoassay provides a viable alternative to other early ovarian cancer detection methods and is particularly suited for health screening of the general population.
