Highly sensitive and mechanically stable gas sensors have been fabricated using the microfabrication and micromaching techniques. The sensing material used to detect the offensive trimethylarnine ((CH$_{3}$)$_{3}$N) gas is 6 wt% $Al_{2}$O$_{3}$-doped, 1000.angs.-thick ZnO deposited by r. f. magnetron sputtering. The optimum operating temperature of the sensor is 350.deg.C and the corresponding heater power is about 85mW. Excellent thermal insulation is achieved by the use of a double-layer structure of 0.2.mu.m -thick silicon nitride and 1.4.mu.m-thick phosphosilicate glass(PSG) prepared by low pressure chemical vapor deposition(LPCVD) and atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition(APCVD), respectively. The sensors are mechanically stable enough to endure at least 43, 200 heat cycles between room temperature and 350.deg. C.

According to Indoor Air Quality(IAQ) management law for multi-use buildings, SEEONE CO., Ltd. made pilot and tested it to remove minute particle, odor, VOCs, etc. within the standards of IAQ. This pilot made by SEEONE CO., Ltd. is vortex scrubber washing electrolyzed water. As 30 minutes test result in multi-use building indoor place, minute particle(the smoke of a cigarette) was reduced $920{\mu}g/m^3{\rightarrow}112{\mu}g/m^3$, gaseous contaminants was reduced Formaldehyde (HCHO) 20ppm$\rightarrow$4ppm, Ammonia($NH_3$) 50ppm$\rightarrow$1ppm, Trimethylamine ($(CH_3CH_2)_3N$) 15ppm$\rightarrow$trace, Methylethylketone($CH_3COC_2H_5$) 25ppm$\rightarrow$trace, Acetic acid ($CH_3COOH$) 20ppm$\rightarrow$trace, Acetaldehyde($CH_3CHO$) 15ppm$\rightarrow$2ppm and Acetone($CH_3COCH_3$) 50ppm$\rightarrow$N.D. The pilot test result of the air filter using electroyzed water in vortex scrubber showed high removal efficiency. Because purified air maintain indoor humidity of approximately 40~60%, so users can feel pleasant. In E.coli, S.aureus sterilization test and CODcr, turbidity treatment test by electrolysis, germs was sterilized over 99.99% and CODcr and turbidity was decreased gradually. So water used for washing can be reused by electrolysis.

Me3NO selectively abstracts the proton from [IrH(CO)(PPh3)2L(A)]0.1+,2+ (1) (A: -CCPh, Cl-, CH3CN and L: CH3CN, Cl-, C1O4-) to give the trans-elimination products, Ir(CO)(PPh3)2(A) (2). The reductive elimination of H+ and Cl- from Ir(H)Cl2(CO)(PPh3)2 (lb) to give IrCl(CO)(PPh3)2 (2b) is first order in both lb and Me3NO. The rate law d[2b]/dt=kobs[lb]=k2[lb][Me3NO] suggests the formation of (PPh3)2(CI)2(CO)Ir-H-ON+Me3 in the rate determining step (k2) followed by the fast dissociation of both H-ON+Me3 and the trans ligand Cl-. The rate significantly varies with the cis liaand A and the trans ligand L and is slower with both A and L being Cl- than other ligands. Me3NO selectively eliminates CO from [Ir(H)2(CO)(PPh3)2L]0,+ (3) (L=CH3CN, C1O4-) to produce [Ir(H)2(PPh3)2L'(CH3CN)]+ (4) (L'=CH3CN, PPh3) in the presence of L. Me3NO does not readily remove either H+ or CO from cis, trans- and trans, trans-lr(H)(-CCPh)2(CO)(PPh3)2 and cis, trans-Ir(H)2Cl(CO)(PPh3)2. The choice whether hydridocarbonyls, 1 and 3 undergo the deprotonation or decarbonylation may be understood mostly in terms of thermodynamic stability of the products and partly by kinetic preference of Me3NO on proton and CO.

Aminated polyphenylene oxide (APPO) based on polyphenylene oxide (PPO) was synthesized using trimethylamine and chloromethyl ethyl ether. Then, the electro-physical properties of APPO membranes which were prepared from the 8 wt% APPO solution dissolved in chloroform were characterized. Contact angle was $44.4^{\circ}$, swelling degree was 37.9%. The typical electrical properties of ion exchange capacity and ion conductivity were 2.3 meq/g, 0.027 S/cm, respectively. And the single gas permeation experiments were performed by using the time-lag method for $N_2$, $O_2$, $CH_4$, $CO_2$, $SO_2$. For the acid gases of $CO_2$ and $SO_2$, their permeability were measured 20.7 and 511.5 barrers, respectively. In the case of selectivity, $CO_2/CH_4$, $CO_2/N_2$ and $SO_2/CO_2$ were measured 39.8, 42.2, 24.7, respectively.

The purpose of this work is to develop a high-efficiency air cleaning system for air pollutants such as particulate and gaseous state in indoor environments. In order to enhance a removal efficiency of gaseous state pollutants, we suggested that pulsed discharge plasma be combined with $TiO_2$ photocatalyst (photocatalytic plasma air cleaning unit). We investigated experimentally the basic characteristics of photocatalytic plasma air cleaning unit and measured air pollutants removal efficiency. The wavelength of light radiated from pulsed discharge plasma under the atmospheric condition was 310~380nm. Its energy is enough to excite the $TiO_2$ photocatalyst and it makes a photochemical reaction in the surface of $TiO_2$ photocatalyst. The removal quantity of trimethylamine$((CH_3)_3N)\; was\; 130mg/m^34 which is twice quantity of pulsed discharge plasma without $TiO_2$ phtocatalyst unit. From the result of gas analysis using FT-IR, nitric oxide was not detected and trimethylamine was decomposed to $H_2O\; and \;CO_2$. And trimethylamine removal efficiency was 95%. These experimental results indicate that photocatalytic plasma air cleaning unit is a potential method in removing the pollutants.

A series of anion exchange composite membranes were prepared and characterized for electrodialysis processes used in the removal of nitrate nitrogen and ions in groundwater. The membranes were prepared as follows; first, fabric substrates were fully impregnated with monomer mixtures of vinylbenzylchloride (VBC), divinylbenzene (DVB), Styrene (ST) and $\alpha,\alpha$-Azobis(isobutyronitrile) (AIBN). Second, they were thermally polymerized to yield crosslinked poly (VBCST- DVB)/fabric composite membranes. Finally, the membranes were treated with trimethylamine (TMA) / acetone to give $-N^+(CH_3)_3^-$-containing poly(VBC-ST-DVB)/fabric membranes. The basic membrane properties such as ion exchange capacity (IEC), electric resistance and water content of the resulting membranes were measured as a function of VBC/DVB and TMA/Acetone content. As a result, the composite membranes showed lower electric resistance and higher IEC than commercial anion exchange membranes (AMX, Astom). Electrodialysis tests using the prepared membranes were carried out for the removal of various ions such as $NaNO_3$, $MgSO_4$ and NaF for 60 minutes. The results showed that the ions were removed below 1 mg/L within about 15 minutes which indicates that the anion exchange membranes prepared here could be applied to the electrodialysis process. as can be seen in the following that the ion conductivity values were almost no change after 15 minutes electrodialysis.

A series of anion exchange composite membranes were prepared and characterized for electro-dialysis process used in the removal of toxic anion and cation polutants in groundwater or wastewater. The membranes were prepared as follows; first, porous poly(ethylene) (PE) substrates were fully impregnated with monomer mixtures with various ratio of vinylbenzylchloride (VBC), divinylbenzene (DVB) and ${\alpha},\;{\alpha}$-azobis(isobutyronitrile) (AIBN). Second, they were thermally polymerized to yield crosslinked poly(VBC-DVB)/PE composite membranes. Finally, the membranes were treated in trimethylamine (TMA)/acetone to give $-N^+(CH_3)_3$-containing poly(VBC-DVB)/PE membranes. The basic membrane properties such as ion exchange capacity (IEC), electric resistance and water content of the resulting membranes were measured as a function of VBC/DVB and TMA/Acetone content. As a result, the composite membranes showed lower electric resistance, lower water content and higher IEC than commercial anion exchange membranes (AMX, Astom) due to thin PE substrates, indicating that the composite membranes could be successfully applied to the electrodialysis for water treatment.

While poly(styrene)-based anion exchange membranes have the advantage like easy and simple manufacturing process, they also possess the disadvantage of poor durability due to their brittleness. Acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber was used here as an additive to make the membranes have improved flexibility and durability. For the preparation of the anion exchange membranes, a PP mesh substrate was immersed into monomer solutions with vinylbenzyl chloride, styrene, divinylbenzene and benzoyl peroxide, then thermally polymerized & crosslinked. The prepared membranes were subsequently post-aminated using trimethylamine to result in $-N+(CH_3)_3$ group-containing composite membranes. Various contents of vinylbenzyl chloride and acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber were investigated to optimize the membrane properties and the prepared membranes were evaluated in terms of water content, ion exchange capacity and electric resistance. It was found that the optimized composite membranes showed higher IEC and lower electric resistance than a commercial anion exchange membrane(AMX) and have excellent flexibility and durability.

This study was carried out to assess and analyze the overall problems of the facilities in recycling and treating of foodwaste on the basis of the unit operation facilities. It proposes effective alternatives for the high profitable management that can meet the regulation of the facilities. The study is composed of several parts including a collection of academic reports, field studies regarding the facilities operated by local government and the private sector, the analysis on odor samples from compost facilities and processing facilities for animal feed from foodwaste. Twenty facilities were surveyed on the field to find out the existing problems and to compare between facilities. Several facilities didn't meet the governmental regulation on some processes, especially the stages of input, storage, odor control and the qualities of final products under the unit equipment operation. The analysis on the odors from the phases of input, shredding and fermentation of a compost facility and processing facilities for feed, the odors from shredding equipments were higher in concentration than the others. The Major odors from the composting facility contained hydrogen sulfide ($H_2S$), methyl mercaptan ($CH_3{SH}$), Dimethyl sulfide ($(CH_3)_2S$) and Ammonia ($NH_3$) and the major odors from the animal feed facility contained methyl mercaptan ($CH_3{SH}$), Trimethylamine ($(CH_3)_3N$) and Acetaldehyde ($CH_3CHO$).
