PVC sheet was treated in O~10M NaOH solutions at $80~150^{\circ}C$ for O~7 hour, in order to study the leaching phenomena of plasticizer. The yield of phthalic acid produced by hydrolysis of DOP was increased greatly with increasing temperature and NaOH concentration by accelerating of alkali catalyst. The yield of phthalic acid was reached ca. 100% in 10M NaOH at $150^{\circ}C$ over 3 hours. Therefore, the plasticizer containing 30% in PVC sheet could be hydrolyzed in alkali solutions before the occurrence of dehydrochlorination. Besides, in the thermal reaction, the pores were produced in the PVCsheet by the hydrolysis of DOP.

TiO2 powder was adsorbed on the surface of mica using the heterocoagulation method in water TiO2 powder was prepared from hydrolysis of titanium-iso propoxide in a mixed solvent of anhydrous ethanol and water. When the molar ratio of water to titanium iso-propoxide was 0.25 monodispersed spherical TiO2 particles were obtained. The prepared TiO2 powder showed anatase phase after heat treatment at 50$0^{\circ}C$ for 2 h and then transformed to rutile phase after heat treatment at 100$0^{\circ}C$ for 2h. The iso-electric points of TiO2 and Mica were pH 3.9 and pH 3.25 respectively which were measured by the Z-potential analysis in water base. The maximum Z-potential difference between two powders was observed in the range of pH 3.6~3.7 TiO2 powder was adsorbed on the surface of mica by heterocoagulation method in pH 3.6~3,7 The properties of prepared TiO2 powder was haracterized by TG-DTA, XRD and SEM The morphology and thermal properties of TiO2-adsorbed mica were examined.

Topological changes caused by the alkaline and enzymatic attacks of solution-grown, chain-folded lamellar crystals (SGCs) of poly[(R)-3-hydroxybutyrate] P(3HB) have been studied in order to investigate the chain-folding structure in P(3HB) crystal regions. NaOH and an extracellular PHB depolymerase purified from Alcaligenes faecalis T1 were used for alkaline and enzymatic hydrolysis, respectively. The measurements were performed on crystals attached to a substrate which is inactive to degradation mediums. Both alkaline and enzymatic attacks lead to a breakup of the lamellar crystals along the crystallographic b-axis during initial erosion. Since hydrolysis preferentially occurs in amorphous regions, this morphological result reflects relatively loosely packed chains in core parts of lamellar crystals. Additionally, it was supported by the ridge formation along the b-axis in the lamellar crystals after thermal treatment at a low temperature because of the thermally sensitive nature of the loosely packed chains in lamellar crystals. However, the alkaline hydrolysis accompanied the chain erosions or scissions in quasi-regular folded lamellar surfaces due to smaller size of alkaline ions in comparison to the enzyme, resulting in the decrease of molecular weight.

In order to find the rational methods for improving the thermal stability of subtilisin Carlsberg, the mechanisms of irreversible thermoinactivation of the enzyme were studied at $90^{\circ}C.$ At pH 4, the main process was hydrolysis of peptide bond. This process followed first order kinetics, yielding a rate constant of $1.26\;{\times}\;10^{-1}h^{-1}$. Hydrolysis of peptide bond of PMS-subtilisin occurred at various sites, which produced new distinct fragments of molecular weights of 27.2 KD, 25.9 KD, 25.0 KD, 22.3 KD, 19.0 KD, 17.6 KD, 16.5 KD, 15.7 KD, 15.0 KD, 13.7 KD, and 12.7 KD. Most of the new fragments originated from the acidic hydrolysis at the C-side of aspartic acid residues. However 25.0 KD, 15.7 KD, and 13.7 KD which could not be removed in purification steps stemmed from the autolytic cleavage of subtilisin. The minor process at pH 4 was deamidation at asparagine and/or glutamine residues and some extend of aggregation was also observed. However, the aggregation was main process at pH 7 with a first order kinetic constant of $16 h^{-1}.$ At pH 9, the main process seemed to be combination of deamidation and cleavage of peptide bond.

PV module protective film plays an important role in protecting the solar cell from external environment by anti-hydrolysis polyester, UV resistance and mechanical properties. The backsheet was manufactured by using Roll-to-Roll dry laminating process. The backsheet structure is composed of 3 layers, which are PE, PET, and Fluorine polymer films. In this study, we have experimented the variation of thermal conductivities depending on MgO inputs 10% to 25% in order to confirm the dependence of the module efficiencies. High thermal conductive backsheet can increase the module output power efficiency because the heat is dissipated by spreading out the internal heat. Long-term environment weatherability tests were conducted for confirming 25 year reliability in the field such as PCT, UV, and power efficiency degradations. As the evaluation result, high thermal conductivity can be effective for increase of power efficiency of solar panel by using thermal conductive MgO masterbatch.

Biogas yields point of view, the possibility of reusing excess sludge treated by thermal pretreatment for the purpose of improving the efficiency of the anaerobic digestion process has been investigated in recent year. Thermal pretreatment technology was considered as a pretreatment technique to improve excess sludge properties because of the solubilization of particulate organics. As a view point of sludge reduction and recycle, however, many researchers focused on the ability of particulate hydrolysis and COD solubilization under a high temperature, and few reports have addressed on the physical/chemical characteristics changing. This research was performed to evaluate the effects of a various temperature and chemical additives on carbon formation and fractionation in treated slurry from thermal pretreatment. Based on the results, it was revealed that oxidants injection and temperature changing have significantly caused the change of carbon fractions in slurry from thermal pretreament. Especially, it was considered that the efficiencies of particle hydrolysis increased with the increase of the reaction temperature. Low molecular weight(Mw < 350 g/mol) organic carbon formation increased with the increase of oxidants injection. It was expected that results of this research will provide an overview of the characteristics of thermal pretreatement for excess sludge reduction and recycle.

The hydrolysis of olive oil was attempted with immobilized C. rugosa lipase in the reverse phase solvent system. (i.e. immobilized wet particles is dispersed in continuous phase olive oil or organic solvents containing olive oil). Sephadex LH-20 and LH-60 were used as the supports that can be used in organic solvents. The water content of wet particles of sephadex LH-20 and LH-60 were about 72% (w/w) and 85% (w/w), respectively Both swollen gels with 0.05M buffers adsorbed about 18% of lipase dissolved. They were easily dispersed in liquid olive oil or in organic solvents. The effects of organic solvents on the stability and catalytic activity of the lipase have been examined. The results revealed that isooctane is superior to the other solvents examined for enzymatic fat spliting in reverse phase system. Kinetics of enzymatic hydrolys of olive oil by immobilized lipase has been investigated in a batch reactor. Effects of pH and temperature on the lipase were studied. The substrate concentration was influenced positively on the thermal stability.

Myrosinases (thioglucosidases) catalyze the hydrolysis of a class of compounds called glucosinolates, of which the aglycones show various biological functions. It is often necessary to minimize the loss of myrosinase activity during thermal processing of cruciferous vegetables. Myrosinase was isolated from a popular spice, white mustard (Sinapis alba), and its thermal inactivation kinetics was investigated. The enzyme was extracted from white mustard seeds and purified by a sequential processes of ammonium sulfate fractionation, Concanavalin A-Sepharose column chromatography, and gel permeation chromatography. At least three isozymes were revealed by Concanavalin A-Sepharose column chromatography. The purity of the major myrosinase was examined by native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and on-gel activity staining with methyl red. The molecular weight of the major enzyme was estimated to be 171 kDa. When the consecutive step model was used for the thermal inactivation of the major myrosinase, its inactivation energy was 44.388 kJ/mol for the early stage of destruction and 32.019 kJ/mol for the late stage of destruction. When the distinct two enzymes model was used, the inactivation energy was 77.772 kJ/mol for the labile enzyme and 95.145 kJ/mol for the stable enzyme. The thermal inactivation energies lie within energy range causing nutrient destruction on heating.

Effects of ${\alpha}$-chymotrypsin modification on degree of hydrolysis (DH), solubility, emulsifying capacity and thermal aggregation of laboratory-purified soy protein isolate (SPI) using a lipoxygenase-defected soybean (Jinpum-kong) and commercial soy protein isolate (Supro 500E) were compared. SPIs were hydrolyzed by ${\alpha}$-chymotrypsin at pH 7.8 and $37^{\circ}C$ for 30 min. DHs of Supro 500E and Jinpum-kong SPI were increased by ${\alpha}$-chymotrypsin modification, and DH of Supro 500E was higher than that of Jinpum-kong SPI. DH of ${\alpha}$-chymotrypsin treated Jinpum-kong SPI was similar with untreated Supro 500E and DH of treated Supro 500E was the highest. Solubility, emulsifying capacity and thermal aggregation of SPIs were increased by ${\alpha}$-chymotrypsin modification, and these changes were highly related to changes in DH. Functional properties of Supro 500E were higher than Jinpum-kong SPI in both of untreated and ${\alpha}$-chymotrypsin treated SPIs.
