Monodisperse composite latex particles with size of ca. 300 nm, which consist ofn-butyl acrylate as a soft phase and methyl methacrylate as a hard phase with different morphology, were synthesized by seeded multi-stage emulsion polymerization. Three types of composite latex particles including random-, core/shell-, and gradient-type particles were obtained by using different monomer feeding methods during semi-batch emulsion polymerization. Effect of poly(butyl acrylate)-poly(methyl methacrylate) rubber particle morphology on the mechanical and rheological properties of rubber toughened poly(methyl methacrylate) was investigated. Among three different rubber particles, the gradient-type rubber particle showed better toughening effect than others. No significant variation of rheological property of poly(methyl methacrylate)/rubber blends was observed for the different rubber particle morphology.

The oil and concentrated protein powder from squid viscera was extracted and recovered by a semi-batch supercritical carbon dioxide ($SCO_2$) extraction system and the degree of oxidation in the extracted oil was measured in order to compare with extracted oils using organic solvents. The degree of storage in treated squid viscera by $SCO_2$ extraction was measured in order to compare with untreated squid viscera. As results obtained, it was found that the auto-oxidation of the oils using $SCO_2$ extraction occurred very slowly compared to the oils by organic solvent extraction. And the treated squid viscera by $SCO_2$ extraction was reached the point of initial rottenness slowly than untreated squid viscera.

Ni-diamond composite powders with nickel layer of round-top type on the surface of synthetic diamond (140/170 mesh) were prepared by the electroless plating method (EN) with semi-batch reactor. The effects of nickel concentration, feeding rates of reductant, temperature, reaction time and stirring speeds on the weight percentage and morphology of deposited Ni, mean particle size and specific surface area of the composite powders were investigated by Atomic Adsortion Spectrometer, SEM-EDX, PSA and BET. It was found that nucleated Ni-P islands, acted as catalytic sites for further deposition and grown into these relatively thick layers with nodule-type on the surface of diamond by a lateral growth mechanism. The weight percentage of Ni in the composite powder increased with reaction time, feeding rate of reductant and temperature, but decreased with stirring speed. The weight percentage of Ni in Ni-diamond composite powder was 55% at 150 min., 200 rpm and 7$0^{\circ}C$ .

Liquid-phase catalytic degradation of waste high-density polyethylene (HDPE) over ZSM-5 (powder type (PW)) and ZSM-5+binder (granule type (GR)) has been investigated with a stirred semi-batch operation at 400°C. Two ZSM-5 catalysts with a different crystal size were synthesized and also each ZSM-5 (25%) Catalyst was mixed with a same binder (kaolin: silica sol: alumina = 55%:10%:10%). The performance of prepared catalysts that has different physicochemical properties was discussed with the cumulative amount distribution, molecular weight distribution and also paraffin, olefin, naphthene and aromatic (PONA) distribution in liquid product. These liquid product quality and distributions were changed depending on the physicochemical properties of the catalyst. Moreover, the characteristic of ZSM-5 in the catalyst was strongly influenced on the activity and PONA distribution in liquid product.

The study was conducted to evaluate the effect of addition of food waste in brown water for anaerobic hydrogen production. Batch experiment was carried out to determine appropriate food waste to brown water mixing ratio. Maximum hydrogen yield of $6.92mmol\;H_2/g\;COD_{removed}$ was obtained at 70% food waste and 30% brown water. Semi-pilot scale reactor was operated based on result of batch experiment. Semi-pilot reactor operated, mixing 70% food waste and 30% brown water showed significant increment in butyric acid concentration. B/P (Butyric to propionic acid ratio) which is considered as governing factor for hydrogen production was found high (52.64). Maximum hydrogen yield of $25.03mmol\;H_2/g\;COD_{removed}$ was obtained. Result of this study concluded that mixing of food waste to brown water at appropriate ratio assists in enhanced hydrogen fermentation.

On the reaction crystallization of lanthanum oxalate effects of operation conditions of impeller speed, concentration and feed rate of reactant, and reaction temperature on the nucleation and growth of crystals were investigated experimentally. In general, at low supersation the analysis of crystallization processes is relatively clear. However, at high wupersaturation, which is usually applied in industrial crystallization, the processes are exhibited in much complication. In this study the lanthanum oxalate was crystallized by the reaction crystallization of high concentration of lanthanum chloride and oxalic acid in single-jet semi batch reactor. Agitation of solution and suspension in the reactor influenced to enhance the reaction process and crystal growth process which gave opposite effect on the crystallization of lanthanum oxalate. In our experiment since increase of impeller speed gave more influence on the reaction process rather than on the crystal growth process, the supersaturation concentration increased with increase of impeller speed, then resulted in decrease of mean crystal size. By the same effect of reactant concentration and feed rate, the decrease of mean crystall size of lanthanum oxalate was observed with increasing the reactant concentration and feed rate. In case of increasing reaction temperature, the mean crystal size increased. The morphology of lanthanum oxalate crystal was not changed within the variation ranges of the operation conditions which were applied in our experiment.

In this study, as one of the carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) adsorbents the aqueous potassium carbonate ($K_2CO_3$)/promoter mixtures were investigated. Equilibrium partial pressure ($P_{CO_2}^*$) and pressure change were measured by using VLE (Vapor-liquid equilibrium) equipment in the mixture solution at 60 and $80^{\circ}C$, respectively. Absorption capacity was estimated in the semi-batch absorption apparatus at 40, 60 and $80^{\circ}C$. We proposed to use homopiperazine (homoPZ), cyclic diamine compound as a promoter of $K_2CO_3$ solution, to prevent crystalline formation and increase absorption capacity of aqueous $K_2CO_3$ solution. The absorption capacity of $K_2CO_3$/homoPZ was compared with MEA, $K_2CO_3$ and $K_2CO_3$/piperazine (PZ). Based on the results, we found that the mixture solution containing homoPZ had lower equilibrium partial pressure than that of $K_2CO_3$ solution and the absorption rate was approximately 0.375-times faster at $60^{\circ}C$, 0.343-times faster at $80^{\circ}C$ than that of aqueous $K_2CO_3$ solution without homoPZ. $K_2CO_3$/homoPZ solution showed excellent CO2 loading capacity compared with MEA solution at $60^{\circ}C$.

Microalgae are receiving an increasing attention because of their potential use as $CO_2$ capture method and/or as feedstock for biofuels production. On the other hand the current microalgae-based technology is still not widespread since it is characterized by technical and economic constraints that hinder its full scale-up. In such contest the growth kinetics of Nannochloris eucaryotum (a relatively unknown marine strain) in batch and semi-batch photobioreactors is quantitatively investigated with the aim of obtaining the corresponding kinetic parameters suitable for process engineering and its optimization. In particular the maximum growth rate was evaluated to be 1.99 $10^{-3}\;h^{-1}$. Half saturation concentrations for nitrates ($K_N$) and phosphates uptake ($K_P$) were evaluated as 5.4 $10^{-4}\;g_N\;L^{-1}$ and 2.5 $10^{-5}\;g_P\;L^{-1}$, respectively. Yield factors for nitrogen ($Y_N$) and phosphorus ($Y_P$) resulted to be 5.9 $10^{-2}\;g_N\;g^{-1}$ biomass and 6.0 $10^{-3}\;g_P\;g^{-1}{_{biomass}}$, respectively. The possibility of using 100% (v/v) $CO_2$ gas as carbon source is also evaluated for the first time in the literature as far as N. eucaryotum is concerned. The strain showed a good adaptability to high concentrations of dissolved $CO_2$ as well as to low pH. The lipid content under 100% $CO_2$ is about 16.16 %wt $wt^{-1}$ and the fatty acid methyl esters composition of the extracted oil is in compliance with the European regulation for quality biodiesel.
