The potential use of Sargassum boveanum algae for the removal of uranium from aqueous solution has been studied by varying three independent parameters (pH, initial uranium ion concentration, S. boveanum dosage) using a central composite design (CCD) under response surface methodology (RSM). Batch mode experiments were performed in 20 experimental runs to determine the maximum metal adsorption capacity. In CCD design, the quantitative relationship between different levels of these parameters and heavy metal uptake (q) were used to work out the optimized levels of these parameters. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) of the proposed quadratic model revealed that this model was highly significant (R² = 0.9940). The best set required 2.81 as initial pH(on the base of design of experiments method), 1.01 g/L S. boveanum and 418.92 mg/L uranium ion concentration within 180 min of contact time to show an optimum uranium uptake of 255 mg/g biomass. The biosorption process was also evaluated by Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin and Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherm models represented that the experimental data fitted to the Langmuir isotherm model of a suitable degree and showed the maximum uptake capacity of 500 mg/g. FTIR and scanning electron microscopy were used to characterize the biosorbent and implied that the functional groups (carboxyl, sulfate, carbonyl and amine) were responsible for the biosorption of uranium from aqueous solution. In conclusion, the present study showed that S. boveanum could be a promising biosorbent for the removal of uranium pollutants from aqueous solutions.

The water quality improvement of golf course ponds, as representative stagnant stream channels, was evaluated by applying a biological activated carbon (BAC) process composed of four consecutive activated carbon reactors. The study was performed from autumn to winter in order to evaluate the feasibility of the BAC process under low temperature conditions. In the study, water quality of pond A (target pond) and pond B (reference pond) were monitored. Pond water was pumped into the BAC process, and was then returned to the pond after treatment. The optimal conditions were determined to be 2 hr of empty bed contact time (EBCT) at a temperature above $4^{\circ}C$, in which improvements of chemical oxygen demand (COD), total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP) of pond A compared to pond B were 3.62%, 3.48% and 1.81%, respectively. On the other hand, as the temperature was below $4^{\circ}C$, some degree of water quality improvement was achieved even when EBCT were 1 or 0.5 hr, suggesting that the BAC process can be successfully applied for the improvement of pond water quality in winter months. The values of biomass concentration and microorganism activity in each condition were highest where 2 hr of EBCT was applied at a temperature above $4^{\circ}C$, but values were similar throughout all treatment conditions, and thus, adsorption is considered to be the dominant factor affecting process efficiency. From the denaturing gel gradient electrophoresis (DGGE) results, no significant differences were observed among the activated carbon reactors, suggesting that the number of reactors in the system could be decreased for a more compact application of the system.

가혹한 조건에서도 사용할 수 있도록 촉매의 강도세기를 증진시키기 위해 다양하게 촉매를 개질하였다. SCR촉매는 바인더와 분산제를 이용하여 개질하였으며 고정층반응기에서 실험하였다. 개질된 촉매에 대한 수소이용정도, 암모니아 흡착정도를 FT-IR과 $H_2$-TPR을 이용하여 측정하였다. 2.3g의 바인더, 4.7g의 에탄올 그리고 0.1g의 분산제가 SCR촉매에 적절하게 침지된 경우 촉매 강도세기에 있어 약 12%의 증가가 있었다. 그러나 촉매의 강도세기가 증가하는 것에 반해 SCR촉매의 효율은 2~10% 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 그리고 바인더, 분산제, $SiO_2$용액으로 구성된 혼합용액을 촉매에 침지시킬 경우, 촉매의 질소산화물 전환율은 다소 감소하였다. 이는 SCR 반응에 있어 활성점 역할을 하는 Bronsted 산점과 Lewis 산점이 $SiO_2$에 의해 감소하기 때문인 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구에서는 반응성이 큰 친수성 단량체인 glycidylmethacrylate (GMA)를 이용하여 현탁중합법으로 bead type의 GMA-DVB 공중합체를 제조하고, 이들 공중합체를 trimethyl-ammonium chloride로 아민화하여 trimethylammonium기를 갖는 거대망상형 음이온 교환수지를 합성하였다. 여기서 지하수에 공존하는 음이온 중 $NO_3^-$ 제거에 가장 방해가 되는 $SO_4^{2-}$ 이 입체적으로 크다는 것에 착안하여 가교제인 divinylbenzene (DVB)의 양을 변화시켜 가교도에 따른 음이온에 대한 선택능을 확인하였고, 각각의 수지에 대한 물성과 $NO_3^-$ 에 대한 흡착능을 고찰하였다. 또한 FT-IR을 통하여 공중합체의 합성여부를 확인하였고, 또한 아민화 수율, 이온교환 용량 및 팽윤율을 평가하여 가교도에 따른 영향을 조사하였다. 여기서 DVB의 함량이 4wt%일 때 아민화 수율은 384.3%, 이온교환용량은 3.25 meq/g, 팽윤율은 77.1%로 가장 최적으로 나타났다.

At the onset of corrosion of steel in concrete, hydrogen ions usually evolve in the process of electrochemical reaction, thereby decreasing the pH of the pore solution, which can be buffered by cement hydration products, as being representatively illustrated by calcium hydroxide. Hence, a fall in the pH is dependent on properties of cement hydration (i.e. hydration products and degree of hydration). The present study tested acid neutralization capacity (ANC) of cementitious binders of OPC(Ordinary Portland Cement), 30% PFA(Pulverized Fuel Ash), 60% GGBS(Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag), 10% SF(Silica Fume) to quantify the resistance of cement matrix to a pH fall. Cement pastes were cast at 0.4 of a free W/C ratio with 1.5% chlorides by weight of binder in cast. Powder samples obtained crushed and ground specimen after 200 days of curing were diluted in still water combined with different levels of 1M nitric acid solution, ranging from 0.5 to 20 mol/kg. Then, the pH of diluted solution was monitored until any further change in the pH did not take place. It was seen that the pH of the diluted solution gradually decreased as the molar amount of nitric acid increased. At some particular values of the pH, however, a decrease in the pH was marginal, which can be expressed in the peak resistances to a pH fall in the ANC curve. The peaks occurred at the variations in the pH, depending on binder type, but commonly at about 12.5 in the pH, indicate a resistance of precipitated calcium hydroxide. The measurement of water soluble chloride at the end of test showed that the amount of free chloride was significantly increased at the pH corresponding to the peaks in the ANC curve, which may reflect the adsorption of hydration products to chlorides.

여러 종류의 層間 陽이온을 가지고 있는 層狀 硅酸鹽上에서 일어난 methylmethacrylate의 吸着에 關하여 赤外線 分光法과 X-ray로 硏究하였다. 吸着된 methylmethacrylate의 여러 개의 特性 carbonyl band가 陽이온의 種과 脫水溫度에 따라서 다르게 1723∼1547$cm^{-1}$의 範圍에서 나타났다. 190$cm^{-1}$程度로 shift한 carbonyl 伸縮 band는 polyvalent 陽이온에만 나타났으며 $>C=O{\cdot}{\cdot}{\cdot}M^{n+}$型 着物形成 基因하는 것이었다. 1703∼1640$cm^{-1}$에서 나타난 band는 carbonyl 酸素와 陽이온 水 또는 陽이온 水酸基와의 水素結合에 依한 것이었고 shift한 정도는 層間 陽이온의 polarizing power와 좋은 相互 關係를 이루었다. 그러나 1723$cm^{-1}$에서 나타난 band는 陽이온의 鍾과는 相互 關係가 없었으며 carbonyl ,酸素와 表面 水酸基와의 相互 作用으로 因한 것이었다. Interlamellar spacing을 계산해 본 結果 methylmethacrylate의 分子平面은 硅酸鹽의 層과 平行하게 놓여 있는 것 같다.

$Ca^{2+},\;La^{3+},\;NH_4^+$ 등으로 양이온을 교혼하거나, 알루미늄을 추출한 합성 zeolite Y에 팔라듐을 담지시켜, 촉매산성도 및 담지된 금속의 유효표면적을, n-butane의 분해반응에서 촉매활성과 관련지어 조사하였다. 암모니아의 TPD(Temperature Programmed Desorption) 실험에 의하면 NaY < CaY < LaY 순으로 강한 산점의 양이 많아졌으며, 알루미늄 추출로 $SiO_2/Al_2O_3$의 비가 커질 수록 전체산점의 양은 감소되었으나, 강한 산점의 양은 증가되었다. CO의 화학흡착으로 측정한 담지금속의 유효표면적은 산성도가 큰 촉매에서 비교적 컸다. n-Butane의 zeolite 촉매에서의 반응은, 촉매의 산성도와 금속성분의 유효표면적에 관계되나, 전화율이 측정한 범위내에서의 유효표면적에 비례하므로 금속성분에 의한 탈수소반응이 중요한 단계로 생각된다.

Objectives: In order to improve the working environment and solve the complaints, many efforts have been made to remove the odor from the industrial process. There are many disposal methods to remove odor, but there are many disadvantages and inadequate applications. The Purpose of this study was to develop a bag-filer system for odor removal using powder adsorbent. Methods: The bag-filter system is composed of a shear bag filter, an absorbent spraying system and an absorbent circulation system. The spraying absorbent system was connected with the inlet duct of the shear bag filter for inputting adsorbent. And the absorbent circulation system can transport the collecting adsorbent from hoper to the inlet duct of the system. As a result, the adsorbent can remove odor with recycling in the system. Also affective factors like the powdered absorbent combination and injection method was researched for maximization of system efficiency. The study was conducted in two stages. The first step was testing equipment made and the second is to evaluate the efficiency of the odor control by connecting to the actual odor generation process. Results: Both experiment stages showed efficient odor control ability. The adsorption efficiency of the system is demonstrated and the odor was adsorbed well by the powder adsorbent. It is essential to accurately understand the characteristics of the odorous and use the appropriate adsorbent. Although the powder adsorbent was used in the experiment, the problem of scattering did not occur due to the high degree of system sealing. Also the system manufactured in this study was designed to recycle the adsorbent, so adsorbent reuse or batch processing is convenient. Conclusions: The applicability of the system has been proven through this research. Customized systems for industrial process and the appropriate adsorbent base on the characteristics of pollutant generation will show efficient odor collection ability.

아스파탐 전구체의 보다 효율적인 효소적 합성 방법을 개발하기 위하여 thermolysin의 고정화 방법을 확립하고자 고정화 담체로서 다공성 수지인 Amberlite XAD-7을, 가교화제로서 glutaraldehyde를 사용하여 최적 고정화 조건을 조사하고자 하였다. Thermolysin이 Amberlite XAD-7에 흡착되는 속도는 초기에 빠른 것으로 나타났으며, $5^{\circ}C$에서 24시간후는 96%가 흡착되었다. Thermolysin에 대한 Amberlite XAD-7의 최대흡착량은 수지 l당 340g 이상이었으며, 투입한 thermolysin 양이 300g일 때까지는 흡착된 양의 증가하는 관계는 직선관계를 보여주었다. thermolysin의 가교화를 위한 효과적인 pH와 glutaraldehyde의 농도, 가교화시간은 각각 $pH\;6.0{\sim}7.0,\;6{\sim}12.5%$ 및 $3{\sim}7$시간이었다. 특히 glutaraldehyde 6%에서는 7시간, 12.5%에서 3시간의 가교화가 효소의 잔존역가와 가교화 정도를 현저히 높였다. 이때의 잔존역가는 30% 이상인 것으로 나타났다.

Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) is a microbial storage polymer with biodegradable properties. In order to improve the cell compatibility of PHBV surfaces, the physicochemical treatments have been demonstrated. In this study, physical method was corona discharge treatment and chemical method was chloric acid mixture solution treatment. The physicochemically treated PHBV film surfaces were characterized by the measurement of water contact angle, electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The water contact angle of the physicochemically treated PHBV surfaces decreased from 75 to 30～40 degree, increased hydrophilicity. due to the introduction of oxygen-based functional group onto the PHBV backbone chain. The mouse NIH/3T3 fibroblasts cultured onto the physicochemically treated PHBV film surfaces with different wettability. The effect of the PHBV surface with different wettability was determined by SEM as counts of cell number and [$^3$H]thymidine incorporation as measures of cell proliferation. As the surface wettability increased, the number of the cell adhered and proliferated on the surface was increased. The result seems closely related with the serum protein adsorption on the physicochemically treated PHBV surface. In conclusion, this study demonstrated that the surface wettabilily of biodegradable polymer as the PHBV plays an important role for cell adhesion and proliferation behavior for biomedical application.
