The distribution of basic nitrogen-containing compounds in three vacuum gas oils (VGOs) with different boiling ranges and their dewaxed oils from the lube base oil refining unit of a refinery were characterized by positive-ion electrospray ionization (ESI) Fourier transform-ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT-ICR MS). It turned out that the composition of basic nitrogen compounds in the samples varied significantly in DBE and carbon number, and the dominant basic N-containing compounds in these oil samples were N1 class species. $N_1O_1$, $N_1O_2$, and $N_2$ class species with much lower relative abundance were also identified. The composition of basic nitrogen compounds in VGOs and dewaxed VGOs were correlated with increased boiling point and varied in DBE and carbon numbers. The comparison of the analytical results between VGOs and dewaxed VGOs indicated that more basic N-containing compounds in VGO with low carbon number and small molecular weight tend to be removed by solvent refining in lube base oil processing.

Nine triterpenes were isolated from the petroleum ether and MeOH extract of Perilla frutescens var. acuta leaves. Their structures were determined to be arjunic acid (1), maslinic acid (2), oleanolic acid (3), euscaphic acid (4), tormentic acid (5), 3-O-trans-p-coumaroyltormentic acid (6), 28-formyloxy-$3{\beta}$-hydroxy-urs-12-ene (7), ursolic acid (8), and corosolic acid (9) by spectroscopic methods. The compounds 1, 2, 4, 6, and 7 were isolated for the first time from this plant and the Genus Labiatae. The isolated compounds (1-9) were tested for cytotoxicity against four human tumor cell lines (A549, SK-OV-3, SK-MEL-2, and HCT-15) in vitro using a Sulforhodamin B bioassay.

모든 원유 (crude oil)와 제품유 (petroleum product)는 서로 구별되는 탄화수소특성을 가지고 있다. 원유의 경우 산지별로 고유한 특성을 지니고 있으며, 제품유의 경우 같은 유종이라 할지라도 그 원료가 되는 원유의 특성, 생산공정, 생산시기 등에서 차이점이 발생한다. 즉, 생산시기가 동일하다 할지라도 선박의 연료탱크내에 남아있는 잔류유와의 혼합 동에 의해 구별되는 특징을 가지게 되며 이러한 특성을 이용한 기법을 유지문기법(oil fingerprint method) 이라 한다. 본 연구에서는 최근 새로운 유지문기법으로 활용 가능성이 대두되고 있는 2 차원 가스크로마토그래프 (Comprehensive Two Dimensional Gas Chromatography)를 이용하여 기존의 가스크로마토그래프 (GC)와 가스크로마토그래프 질량분석기 (GC/MS) 와의 분석방법 비교 등을 통해 유지문 분석기법의 실효성에 대해서 논하고자 한다.

석유계 탄화수소 화합물로 인한 토양과 지하수 오염은 환경과 건강에 영향을 미치는 주된 원인으로 제기되어 왔다. 이러한 오염물질들은 흡착포, 활성탄 또는 중력 방식의 유수분리 장치 등을 이용하여 처리하고 있다. 하지만 이러한 경우 자유상 유류(free product)로 존재하는 경우에는 효과적이나 에멀젼 상태의 유류는 제거할 수 없는 것으로 알려져 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 굴착시 예상되는 지하수의 고농도 현탁성 고형물로 인한 지하수 처리시 문제점과 TPH(Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon)를 어떻게 효율적으로 제거할 수 있는지 방안을 제시하고자 한다. 고분자 폴리머를 사용하여 혼화 응집 실험을 수행한 결과 5분 이내에 SS(Suspended Solids)와 COD(Chemical Oxygen Demand) 농도가 지하수 수질 기준을 만족하는 것을 나타났으나, TPH 농도는 방류수 수질 기준을 만족하지 못하는 것으로 나타났다. DAF(Dissolved Air Flotation) 실험 결과 단일 DAF 공정으로는 방류수 수질 기준을 만족하지는 못하였다. 단일 DAF 반응조를 이용하여 DAF와 혼화 응집 반응을 동시에 수행하는 경우 20분에 모든 기준을 만족하는 것으로 나타났다.

피셔-트롭쉬 합성 반응은 촉매 표면에서 합성가스 (CO+$H_2$)를 탄화수소로 전환하는 반응이다. 코발트 또는 철계 촉매는 친환경적인 디젤 연료를 생산할 수 있고 합성가스의 전환율이 높은 촉매로 알려져 있다. 피셔-트롭쉬 반응에 사용되는 촉매의 활성은 촉매 표면에서의 활성점에 의존적이다. 활성점은 활성 물질의 크기, 담지량, 환원율, 지지체와 활성물질의 상호작용에 의해 결정된다. FT 촉매 제조 방법으로 활성물질의 크기를 조절하는 등의 새로운 방법들이 시도되고 있다. 여기에서는 촉매의 제조방법과 환원 특성을 비롯한 촉매의 형태와 반응 조건을 포함한 반응기 형태에 대해 알아보겠다.

본 연구는 대전시를 사례로 하여 주유소의 입지적 특성과 판매권역을 분석하기 위해 설문과 면접 조사, 그리고 GIS의 그리드 분석을 활용하였다. 주유소의 입지적 특성을 분석해 본 결과 고수익 입지유형은 인구밀도와 1일 통행량이 일정수준 이상으로 배후 상주인구와 통행인구가 많아 고수익이 예상되었고, 반면에 저수익 입지유형은 토지이용상 녹지와 개발제한구역 등으로 통행량도 낮아서 높은 수익을 기대하기 어려웠다. 대전시 인구수에 기반하여 판매권역의 공간분포 패턴을 살펴본 결과, 주유소 판매권역의 크기는 인구밀도가 조밀한 중심지역에서 인구밀도가 낮은 외곽지역으로 갈수록 확대되었다. 또한 인구수에 대비하여 주유소가 과다한 주유소 과밀지역과 과소 지역이 분포하는 불균형적 주유소 분포패턴을 보여주었다. 입지-배분모델을 적용한 결과 주유소 과밀 지역에서는 주유소의 수가 줄어들었고, 과소한 지역에서는 신규로 주유소가 입지하여 보다 균형적인 분포패턴을 보여주었다. 이와 같은 연구결과는 석유제품 유통기관별로 최소 배후지 규모를 만족시키면서 균형적 공간 분포패턴을 가질 수 있도록 배치하는데 필요한 기초적인 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 예상된다.

Some of the petroleum products contain benzene which is well known as a confirmed human carcinogen. For example, gasoline products contain benzene ranging up to several percents by weight. High exposures to the benzene and other organic solvents would be likely to occur during intermittent tasks and or processes rather than continuous jobs such as sampling, repair, inspection, and loading/unloading jobs. The work time for these jobs is various. However, most of work time is very short and the representative time interval is 15 minutes. Thus, it is preferable to do exposure assessment for 15 minute time weighted average which is known as a short time exposure level(STEL) by ACGIH rather than for 8-hours TWA. It is particularly significant to the exposure monitoring for benzene since it has been known that the exposure rate plays an important role to provoke the leukemia. Due to the large variations, a number of processes/tasks, the traditional sampling technique for organic solvents with the use of the charcoal and sampling pumps is not appropriate. Limited number of samples can be obtained due to the shortage of sampling pumps. Passive samplers can eliminate these limitations. However, low sampling rates resulted in collection of small amount of the target analysts in the passive samplers. This is originated the nature of passive samplers. Field applications were made with use of passive samplers to compare with the charcoal tube methods for 15 minutes. Gasoline loading processes to the tank lorry trucks at the loading stations in the petroleum products storage area. Good agreements between the results of passive samplers and those of the charcoal tubes were achieved. However, it was found that special cautions were necessary during the analysis at very low concentration levels.

In order to prevent decay, distortion, bending, twist on wood products such as wooden furnitures, variety of coating materials were developed and used so far. The coating materials for wood finishing can be synthesized by natural resource or petroleum. However, these coating materials can cause contamination of indoor air quality due to emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). In this study, commercialized coating materials for wood finishing such as varnish, coat, and stain were evaluated on emission characteristics of VOCs. Among the varnish, eco-friendly products had about 15~46% lower TVOC emission ($1,042{\mu}g/m^2h{\sim}3,257{\mu}g/m^2h$, respectively, than typical product ($7,100{\mu}g/m^2h$). Natural resource based coating material showed lowest TVOC emission level. However, one of natural resource based waterborne stain showed higher TVOC emission level because waterborne stain already contained higher amount of natural VOC. Oil-based stain might not be suitable for indoor use on interior wall and furniture due to exceed amount of TVOC. Based on results, natural resource based coat or waterborne stain are recommenced to use on wood products.

Microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR) is one of the most economical and efficient methods for extending the life of production wells in a declining reservoir. Microbial consortia from Wafra oil wells and Suwaihat production water, Al-Wusta region, Oman were screened. Microbial consortia in brine samples were identified using denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis and 16S rRNA gene sequences. The detected microbial consortia of Wafra oil wells were completely different from microbial consortia of Suwaihat formation water. A total of 33 genera and 58 species were identified in Wafra oil wells and Suwaihat production water. All of the identified microbial genera were first reported in Oman, with Caminicella sporogenes for the first time reported from oil fields. Most of the identified microorganisms were found to be anaerobic, thermophilic, and halophilic, and produced biogases, biosolvants, and biosurfactants as by-products, which may be good candidates for MEOR.

Today's firms exist and run business in an uncertain and rapidly changing environment in terms of industry, market, technology, economic conditions, and culture. To be competitive, at least to survive, firms must cope with and manage uncertainty effectively. In other words, firms should be equipped with powerful weapons to capture competitive advantage over their competitors. There are several ways for a firm to capture competitive edge over its competitors such as cost leadership, quality of the products and services, manpower, higher productivity, and technology. Among these, technology, especially information technology, could be the most effective weapon for competitive advantages since it is possible to monitor competitors' movement as well as to provide appropriate information with both planning and control phases through an information system. In this paper, a competitive weapon in action, a Process Control System which is developed by and installed at a U.S petroleum company would the described.
