Liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) can be used for the recovery of acetic acid from black liquor prior to bioethanol fermentation. Recovery of value-added chemicals such as acetic-, formic- and lactic acid using LLE from Kraft black liquor was studied. Acetic acid and formic acid have been reported to be strong inhibitors in fermentation. The study elucidates the effect of three reaction parameters: pH (0.5~3.5), temperature ($25{\sim}65^{\circ}C$), and reaction time (24~48 min). Extraction performance using tri-n-octylphosphine oxide as the extractant was evaluated. The maximum acetic acid concentration achieved from hydrolyzates was 69.87% at $25^{\circ}C$, pH= 0.5, and 36 min. Factorial design was used to study the effects of pH, temperature, and reaction time on the maximum inhibitor extraction yield after LLE. The maximum potential extraction yield of acetic acid was 70.4% at $25.8^{\circ}C$, pH=0.6 and 37.2 min residence time.

Microstructural basis for the thermal degradation of electrodeposited black chrome "solar-L-foil" heated in air has been investigated using scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive x-ray analysis, X-ray diffraction techniques and UV-VIS-NIR spectre-photometer. Experimental result, the change in the shape of the particle comprising the film from their initial needle like structure to a more spherical shape with an oxide after 1hr annealing at $600^{\circ}C$ has been observed. The effect is to degrade solar absorptance of the thin film.

본 연구는 복분자 완숙과 50% 에탄올 추출물을 이용하여 인간제대정맥내피세포주(HUVEC)에서 복분자 추출물이 NO의 생성에 미치는 영향과 ACE 단백질 발현을 조사하였으며, 본태성 고혈압 흰쥐(SHR)에서 혈압강하 효과 및 혈압의 조절과 관련 깊은 인자들(renin, AT1-R, ET-1, IL-6)의 유전자 발현 그리고 혈관조직의 변화를 조사하였다. 그 결과 복분자 완숙과 50% 에탄올 추출물은 HUVEC 세포주에서 NO의 생성을 촉진하였으며 혈관수축활성을 가지는 ACE 단백질의 발현을 억제하였고 본태성 고혈압 흰쥐에게 복분자 완숙과 에탄올 50% 추출물을 8주간 투여한 결과 혈액 내 ACE의 활성이 억제되었으며 renin 및 혈관 수축인자인 ET-1 유전자의 발현이 억제되고 염증관련 유전자인 IL-6의 발현이 억제됨을 확인하였다. 그리고 신세동맥의 두께 및 심근 호산성세포수를 감소시켜 혈관내피세포의 손상을 보호하며 심장의 병변을 경감시키는 효과가 있음을 확인하였다. 본 연구 결과 복분자 완숙과 추출물은 혈압 조절과 연관된 단백질 및 유전자의 발현과 활성을 조절하고, 혈관의 두께 및 심근의 변성을 감소시켜 혈압 강하에 도움이 되는 것으로 나타났으며 향후 심혈관계 질환을 개선시킬 수 있는 식품소재로서의 가능성이 있음을 확인하였다.

본 연구는 도자기 유약 내 철산화물의 함량에 따라 유약층에서 나타나는 미세조직적 특성변화의 비교분석을 통해 과거 흑유자기들의 제작 과정에서 사용된 재료의 성분 함량과 제작 방법을 유추해보고자 하였다. 먼저 산화철과 장석, 석회석, 참나무재의 성분비를 달리한 유약을 사용하여 온도와 소성조건을 달리한 재현시편을 제작하였고, 색차와 단면관찰, 성분분석, 결정구조분석을 통해 발현 특성을 알아내고자 하였다. 분석 결과 산화조건에서는 유약의 특성이 5개 그룹으로 분류된 것을 관찰할 수 있었으며, 1200℃ 이상의 환원환경에서는 각자 다른 양상의 유약 특성을 확인하였다. 실험을 통해 확인한 결정형태는 출토 흑유자기에서 나타나는 유약특성과 유사한 것을 확인하였다. 철 산화물의 농도 변화에 따라서도 산화조건에서는 결정상이 띠모양, 원형, 수지상, 침상 등 4개의 그룹으로 나타났으나, 고온에서는 결정의 차이가 크게 나타나지 않았다. 또한 성분비에 따라서 유약의 결정상이 2개의 그룹으로 나뉘었다. 이는 장석의 유무가 결정성과 무정형의 철산화물을 만드는데 영향을 주는 것으로 판단되며, 이들의 양에 따라서도 단면에서 나타나는 변화 양상이 극명하게 달라졌다. 특히 산화조건과 환원환경에서 나타나는 철산화물의 조직 양상이 다르게 나타나는 것으로 보아 소성조건으로 인한 결정상 또한 광학적으로 나타나는 발색특성에 영향을 미치는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

시판되는 남해산 흑마늘 4제품(A, B, C 및 D)을 이용하여 항산화 활성, 아질산염 소거 및 nitrosodimethylamine(NDMA) 생성억제 활성을 비교하였다. 마늘 중 total pyruvate와 thiosulfate 함량은 생마늘보다 흑마늘에서 높았으며, B제품에서 가장 높은 함량이었다. 흑마늘의 물 및 에탄올 추출물에서 총 페놀과 플라보노이드 함량은 물 추출물에서 높았으며, 흑마늘은 생마늘 추출물보다 높은 함량으로 A제품에서 다소 높게 정량되었다. 항산화 활성으로 DPPH, ABTs, hydroxyl 및 nitric oxide 라디칼 소거활성을 비교한 결과, 흑마늘이 생마늘보다 높았으며, 물 추출물이 에탄올 추출물보다 높은 소거활성을 보였고, A와 B제품간의 항산화 활성은 비슷한 경향이었다. 아질산염 소거활성과 NDMA 생성억제 활성은 항산화 활성과 동일한 경향이었으며, A제품의 활성이 유의적으로 높았다. 따라서 흑마늘의 NDMA 생성억제 활성이 항산화 활성과 유사한 패턴을 보이고 있는 바, 흑마늘은 생체 내 암 발생의 억제에도 영향을 줄 것으로 예상되었다.

Complex of mulberry extract (CME) is composed of extracts of mulberry (Morus alba L.) fruit, mulberry leaves and black beans (Glycine max (L.) Merr.). In this study, we investigated prevention effects of CME on degenerative arthritis. The $SC_{50}$ value of DPPH radical scavenging by CME was $158.49{\pm}11.35{\mu}/mL$. We found that CME significantly reduced the production of nitric oxide (NO) and protein expression of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) in RAW 264.7 cells which were activated by LPS. Experiments using animal model of degenerative arthritis showed that CME (400 mg/kg body weight) inhibited the production of TNF-${\alpha}$ (77.5%) and IL-$1{\beta}$ (95.0%). Furthermore, it was observed that CME reduced to 85.9% of paw edema induced by carrageenan. These results suggest that CME could improve degenerative arthritis.

Mechanical structures of military equipment have been mainly applied with black oxide coating due to the limitation of surface treatment thickness. However, the mechanical structures applied by the black oxide coating treatment is constantly being corroded by calcium chloride and humidity. Since this can cause serious problems in the operation of equipment, a review to improve surface treatment and corrosion resistance is required. Therefore, in this study, surface treatment methods that can enhance corrosion resistance were selected and corrosion resistance performance was verified through experiments describing harsh field conditions. Thus, applying a proven surface treatment method to future military equipment will prevent corrosion.

Using alkali treatment solution, neutrality treatment solution and acid treatment solution, the surface corrosion layer of copper plates and bronze plates that have been artificially corroded using HCl, $H_2SO_4$ and $HNO_3$ solutions were removed. In the case of alkali treatment solution, only air oxidation in the form of black tenorite and white cuproous chloride remained without being removed. In the case of using a neutrality treatment solution, a anhydrous type layer of reddish brown cupric chloride remained without being removed, together with this black and white corrosion substance. In the case of using an acid treatment solution, this red corrosion substance also remained, but all of the oxide was removed on the surface of the specimen that was treated by alternatively using alkali treatment solution and acid treatment solution. In the case of this treatment solution with the order of alkali-acid, oxidation no longer proceeded only through the distilled water cleaning process after treatment, thereby showing that oxidation from the cleaning solution no longer proceeded.

A block-oxide layer was formed on the surface of Cu-based leadframe by chamical oxidation method in order to enhance the adhesion strength between Cu-based leadframe and epoxy molding compound (EMC) Using sandwiched double cantilever beam (SDCB) specimens, the adesion strength was measured in terms of interfacial fracture toughness, G$\sub$IC//Results showed that the black-oxide layer was composed of two kinds of layers: pebble-like Cu$_2$O layer and acicular CuO layer, At the initial stage of oxidation the Cu$_2$O layer was preferentially formed and thickened up to around 200 nm whithin 1 minute of the oxidation time. Then the CuO layer started to from atop of the Cu$_2$O layer and thickened up to around 1300 nm until 20 minutes. As soon as the CuO layer formed, the thickness of Cu$_2$O layer began to reduce and finally reached to around 150 nm. The pre-cleaned and the Cu$_2$O coated leadframes showed almost no adhesion of EMC, however, as the CuO precipitates appeared and became continuous, G$\sub$IC/ increased up to around 80 J/㎡. Further oxidation raised G$\sub$IC/ up. to around 100 J/㎡.

A novel non-enzymatic oxalic acid (OA) sensor based on the platinum/carbon black-nickel-reduced graphene oxide (Pt/CBNi-rGO) nanocomposite is reported. The nanocomposites were prepared by the ethylene glycol reduction method. Their morphology and chemical composition were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results clearly demonstrated the formation of the Pt/CB-Ni-rGO nanocomposite. The electrocatalytic activity of the Pt/CB-Ni-rGO electrode was investigated by cyclic voltammetry. It was determined that the appropriate amount of Pt enhanced the catalytic activity of Pt for oxalic acid electro-oxidation. Moreover, the modified electrode was determined to be highly selective for oxalic acid without interference from compounds commonly found in urine including uric acid and ascorbic acid. The chronoamperometric signal gave a wide linearity range of 20 μM-60 mM and the detection limit (3σ) was found to be 2.35 μM. The proposed method showed high selectivity, stability, and good reproducibility and could be used with micro-volumes of sample for the detection of oxalic acid. Finally, the oxalic acid content in artificial and control urine samples were successfully determined by our proposed electrode.
