There has been increasing global interest in the environmental pollution problems produced by fossil fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. In order to tackle these issues, new renewable energy such as solar, wind, bio gas, fuel cell and pressure retarded osmosis(PRO) have been developed extensively. Among these energy sources, PRO is one of the salinity gradient power generation methods. In PRO, energy is obtained by the osmotic pressure generated from the concentration difference between high and low concentration solutions separated by a semipermeable membrane. The development for high power density PRO membranes is imperative with the purpose of commercialization. This study investigates development of thin film composite PRO membrane and spiral wound module for high power density. Also, the influence of membrane backing layer on power density was identified, and the characteristic factors of PRO membranes was determined. Different backing layers were used to improve power density. As expected, the PRO membrane with more porous backing layer showed higher power density.

In this paper a power conditioning system suitable for the fuel cell powered off-road vehicle is proposed. The proposed system employs a Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell stack combined with boost converter, a super capacitor module combined with hi-directional buck-boost converter, a 4-quadrant DC chopper and a permanent magnet DC motor. The momentary overload condition occurring during the motor starting is handled by the energy stored in the supercapacitor module. Also, the regenerative energy can be stored in the supercapacitor module by operating the system in either buck or boost mode. This capability gives the system designer the higher flexibility in designing the system and assures the lower cost of the system. The validity and feasibility of the proposed system is proven by the computer simulation.

This study is conducted about the system that reduces organism after fermenting food waste from a food waste disposal equipment, divides gas made when food waste is fermented into gas and water, and then sends gas to a reactor again, condenses water, and apply it to the MBR system with submerged MF hollow fiber membranes. A submerged MF hollow fiber membrane module was installed to a food waste disposal equipment and a water treatment system made by Bio Hitech Co,. Ltd. to process food waste generated from a staff cafeteria in a H institute for 90 days. For initial seeding of a food waste disposal equipment, 305 kg of rice bran, chaff, and sawdust as well as 1,648 kg of food were input during the operation, and 1,600 L of condensed wastewater occurred. Fermented by-product after finishing running a food waste disposal equipment was 386 kg and its reduction was shown to be 80%. The organism was processed by applying submerged MF hollow fiber membrane module to the MBR system of condensed wastewater, and the result shows reduction rates were BOD 99.9%, COD 97.5%, SS 98.6%, T-N 54.6% and T-P 34.7% and the total colon bacillus was perfectly eliminated.

The use of the lung assist device (LAD) would be well suited for acute respiratory failure (ARF) patients, combining the simplicity of mechanical ventilation with the ability of extracoporeal membrane oxygenators (ECMO) to provide temporary relief for the natural lungs. This study's specific attention was focused on the effect of membrane vibration in the LAD. Quantitative experimental measurements were performed to evaluate the performance of the device, and to identify membrane vibration dependence on blood hemolysis. We tried to decide upon excited frequency band of limit hemolysis when blood hemolysis came to through a membrane vibration action. The excited frequency of the module type 5, consisted of 675 hollow fiber membranes, showed the maximum gas transfer rate. We concluded that the maximum oxygen transfer rate seemed to be caused by the occurrence of maximum amplitude and the transfer of vibration to hollow fiber membranes. It was excited up to $25{\pm}5$ Hz at each blood flow rate of module type 5. We found that this frequency became the 2nd mode resonance riequency of the flexible in blood flow. Blood hemolysis was low at the excited frequency of $25{\pm}5$ Hz. Therefore, we decided that limit hemolysis frequency of this LAD was $25{\pm}5$ Hz.

Deionized water and wastewater flux were discussed using module set 1-7 composed of ultrafiltration hollow fiber type modules and reverse osmosis spiral wound type modules. The separation characteristics of ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis membranes were discussed with the variation of applied pressure and temperature. Turbidity and SS were removed effectively from ultrafiltration mem¬brane, and removal efficiency of COD, T-N, and TDS using reverse osmosis membrane was very efficient. Permeate flux increased linearly with the increase of applied pressures and temperature. It was shown that ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis membranes were suitable Lo the advanced treatment and reuse of oil refinery process effluent.

The purpose of this study is to improve the performance of gasoline engine. Combustion-characteristics orignated from supplying cylinder with fuel-air mixture which was formed by the rise of oxygen-concentration in air with oxygen-enriching membrane have been investigated. The results showed that the poor-limit of oxygen-concentration was increased by shortening combustion-duration because the rise of oxygen-concentration in fuel-air mixture resulted in the promotion of combustion-velocity. Also, the generation of large output of power was expected from combustion in proportion as the amount of oxygen was increased.

An extractive fermentation process using pervaporation was studied in a 7 liter fermentor. Pervaporation was performed using a silicone membrane module and a low-acid-producing strain Clostridium acetobutylicu, B18 was used to produce butanol. In batch culture without pervaporation pH 5.5 and initial glucose concentration of 60 g/L resulted in the highest butanol productivity (0.216 g/L$.$h) with butanol yield of 0.261 Butanol flux through the membrane was best at 2.0 L/min-tubing of air flow rate In batch and fed-batch fermentation glucose consumption rate increased by 1.3 times with pervaporation.

근래들어 생물기술이 급속히 발전함에 따라 생물반응을 통해 다양한 생물제품들의 생산이 이루어지고 있다. 생물반응에 의한 생물제품들의 생산량은 극단적으로는 기질 1g당 10$^{-8}$g 정도로서 극히 낮아 이를 상업제품이 요구하는 순도(95 %이상)로 까지 정제하기 위해서는 여러 단계를 거치는 복잡하고 지루한 분리.정제 과정이 필요하며, 이 분리.정제의 후류공정(downstream process)비용이 생물제품 생산비의 상당부분을 점유케 되어 생물공정의 경제성을 낮게 한다. 따라서 생물공정을 이용한 생물제품 생산이 산업적으로 경제성을 갖기 위해서는 생물제품을 보다 효율적.경제적으로 분리.정제할 수 있는 후류공정의 확립이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 산업적 규모로 생산되는 생물제품들을 효율적으로 분리.정제하는데 응용 가능한 방법의 하나로서 관심의 대상이 되고 있는 책체 크로마트그래피 기법을 연구의 대상으로 하였다.

1. 서론 : 다양한 산업공정에서 대기중으로 배출되는 휘발성유기화합물들은 물리, 화학적성질과 그들이 생성되는 기술적인 조건등에 따라 소각, 응측, 흡착, 흡수 등의 처리기술들이 사용되어왔다. 이러한 기존의 처리기술들은 안전성, 성능, 운전비, 시설공간 및 비용 등의 면에서 크게 만족스럽지 못하였다. 이에 비하여 분리막을 이용한 공정은 배출가스에 대한 처리농도범위가 광범위하고 장치가 간단하여 시설투자비 및 운전비용이 낮으며 제거효율도 매우 높은 것으로 알려져 왔다. 본 실험에서는 비다공성의 중공사막모듈을 통한 휘발성유기화합물의 분리특성을 고찰하였고, 휘발성유기화합물의 농도와 feed가스의 유량 및 막양단의 압력차 등을 변화시키면서 막의 성능을 실험적으로 조사하였다.
