목질계 바이오매스는 조성분간의 결합이 치밀하고 높은 함량의 리그닌을 포함하여 전처리 공정이 필수적이다. 전처리 용매 중 테트라하이드로퓨란(THF)은 유기용매로 재사용이 가능하다는 장점이 있다. THF는 가격이 저렴하고 다양한 반응 조건에서 선택적으로 리그닌을 제거하고 물 혹은 이온성 액체와 공용매로 사용된다. 수산화 나트륨(Sodium hydroxide)은 바이오매스 내 ether결합을 파괴하여 리그닌을 우선적으로 용해시키며 셀룰로오스와 헤미셀룰로오스의 표면적을 확장시키는 역할을 한다. 본 연구에서는 NaOH/THF 공용매 전처리 공정을 적용하여 효과적 리그닌을 제거를 위한 전처리 특성을 파악하고 후속 공정인 산촉매 전환 공정을 통해 최적의 레불린산 전환 수율을 얻었다. 전처리 공정은 NaOH/THF 공용매 비율을 16가지 부피 비율로 수행되었으며 반응조건은 180℃에서 60분으로 고정하였다. 최적의 공용매 조건은 NaOH(5 wt%)/THF 공용매 90:10(v/v%)이였으며 76.8% 글루칸을 수득과 함께 90.1%의 리그닌을 제거하였다. 전처리 후속 공정인 산촉매 전환 공정은 반응시간 30~90분, 반응온도 160~200 ℃로 수행하였을 때, 산촉매 전환 공정의 최적 조건은 180 ℃에서 반응시간 60분이었며, 이 때의 레불린산 전환수율은 84.7%이다.

Coenzyme $Q_{10}$ ($CoQ_{10}$) is a widely used supplement in heart diseases treatment or antioxidative dietary. The microbial production of $CoQ_{10}$ was enhanced by addition of solanesol and novel precursors recovered from waste tobacco. The novel precursors were separated by silica gel and identified as ${\alpha}$-linolenic acid (LNA) and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) based on the effect on $CoQ_{10}$ production and GC-MS. The effects of novel precursors on $CoQ_{10}$ production by Sphingomonas sp. ZUTE03 were further evaluated in a two-phase conversion system. The precursor's combination of solanesol (70 mg/l) with BHT (30 mg/l) showed the best effect on the improvement of $CoQ_{10}$ yield. A maximal $CoQ_{10}$ productivity (9.5 mg $l^{-1}$ $h^{-1}$) was achieved after 8 h conversion, with a molar conversion rate of 92.6% and 92.4% on BHT and solanesol, respectively. The novel precursors, BHT and LNA in crude extracts from waste tobacco leaves, might become potential candidates for application in the industrial production of $CoQ_{10}$ by microbes.

Limited sources of fossil fuels and also global climate changes caused by $CO_2$ emissions are currently discussed around the world. As a renewable, carbon neutral and widely available energy source, biogas is regarded as a promising alternative to fossil fuels. In this study, a plasma dump reformer was proposed to produce $H_2$-rich synthesis gas by a model biogas. The three-phase gliding arc plasma and dump combustor were combined. Screening studies were carried out with the parameter of a dump injector flow rate, water feeding flow rate, air ratio, biogas component ratio and input power. As the results, methane conversion rate, carbon dioxide conversion rate, hydrogen selectivity, carbon monoxide yield at the optimum conditions were achieved to 98%, 69%, 42%, 24.7%, respectively.

A lipase-catalyzed esterification reaction of (S)-naproxen ethyl ester by CALB (Candida antarctica lipase B) enzyme was performed in supercritical carbon dioxide. Experiments were performed in a high-pressure cell for 10 h at a stirring rate of 150 rpm over a temperature range of 313.15 to 333.15 K and a pressure range of 50 to 175 bar. The productivity of (S)-naproxen ethyl ester was compared with the result in ambient condition. The total reaction time and conversion yields of the catalyzed reaction in supercritical carbon dioxide were compared with those at ambient temperature and pressure. The experimental results show that the conversion and reaction rate were significantly improved at critical condition. The maximum conversion yield was 9.9% (216 h) at ambient condition and 68.9% (3 h) in supercritical state. The effects of varying amounts of enzyme and water were also examined and the optimum condition was found (7 g of enzyme and 2% water content).

An immobilized Trigonopsis variabilis cells having an high activity of D-amino acid oxidase(DAO) was used to convert CPC into GL-7-ACA. The optimal pH of the reaction system was 8.0-8.5, and the optimal temperature was 40$\circ$C. When immobilized cell was used repeatedly in semi-batchwise reaction, the system retained 80% of the initial activity after used of 12 times for over 12 hours. The storage stability of the immobilized cell was maintained for 30 days at 4$\circ$C. The CPC concentration for the maximal reaction rate was about 30 mM and 40 mM for free and immobilized cells, respectively. Substrate inhibition of CPC concentration more than 50 mM was overcomed by 20~25% by immobilization. Pure oxygen supply into reaction system was most efficient in D-amino acid oxidase reaction. Continuous conversion to GL-7-ACA from CPC has been developed with an bioreactor system containing immobilized T variabilis cells. By opera- tion of the reactor for 5 hours, the average conversion yield of >80% and GL-7-ACA production of 40~45 mM per hour could be obtained.

열분해 온도 및 열분해 시간이 HDPE의 열분해에 미치는 영향을 해석하였다. HDPE 열분해의 시작온도와 활성화에너지는 가열속도가 증가함에 따라 증가하였다. 전환율과 액체수율은 열분해 온도와 시간이 증가함에 따라 계속 증가하였고, 특히 45$0^{\circ}C$에서 열분해 시간에 매우 민감하게 변하였다. 전환율에 있어 열분해 온도가 열분해 시간보다 더 큰 영향을 주었다. 열분해 과정에서 생성된 각각의 액체성분을 한국석유품질검사소 석유제품 품질기준에 기초하여 증류온도에 따라 가솔린, 등유, 경유, 왁스로 분류하여 본 결과, 450 $^{\circ}C$에서는 경유 > 왁스 > 등유 > 가솔린 순이었고, 475$^{\circ}C$와 50$0^{\circ}C$에서는 왁스 > 경유 > 등유 > 가솔린 순이었다.

For the production of cis, cis-muconic acid via biocatalytic conversion reactions from a toxic cosubstrate, benzoic acid, a fed-batch process using computer-controlled DO-stat feeding was developed. The mutant strain of Pseudomonas putida BM014 produced cis, cis-muconic acid from benzoic acid with high conversion yield. More than 32 g/L of cis, cis-muconic acid was accumulated in 42h and a productivity of 1.4g/(L.h)was achieved.

The synthesis of lauryl palmitate from palmitic acid and lauryl alcohol was investigated in organic solvents using lipase. Water-immiscible organic solvent such as hexane, toluenem cyclohexane, and isooctane were found to be suitable of ester synthesis . The effect of water content on the initial rate of conversion was examined . As the content increased, the reaction rate increased. But addition of water in organic solvent decreased therostability of enzyme . The best lauryl palmitate synthesis was achieved with water content of 0.2-0.4% reaction temperature of 4$0^{\circ}C$ and 45$^{\circ}C$ for Candida cylindracea lipase porcine, pancreatic lipase, respectively. when ester synthesis was carried out under the optimum conditions, the conversion yield of palmitate into lauryl palmitate after 70hrs reached 85% and 69 % for the Candida cylindracea lipase and porcine opancreatic lipase, respectivley.

In this study, thermochemical degradation by acetone solvolysis reaction of siberian spruce wood was investigated for a temperature range of $200{\sim}400^{\circ}C$. The liquid products by acetone solvolysis from siberian spruce wood produced various kinds of aliphatics, cyclic compounds and aromatics included phenols etc. Combustion heating value of liquid products by acetone solvolysis conversion processes was in the range of $8,010{\sim}8,180cal/g$. The energy yield in acetone solvolysis of siberian spruce wood was as high as 74.2% after 40min of reaction at $400^{\circ}C$. The liquid products from the thermochemical conversion of siberian spruce wood could be used as high-octane-value fuels and fuel additives.

The conversion efficiency of an ozone generator can be significantly improved by modifying the discharge electrode of a helical strip line rod-to-cylinder type ozone generator to a pyramid-project-embossed rod, and by using a pulse corona discharge. Parametric studies have been carried out to obtain optimum values of peak pulse voltage, pulse forming capacitance, feeder cable and ozone generator capacitance, interelectrode spacing and corona tip density of ozone generator, and feed air flow rate and temperature. The generated ozone concentration was very dependent upon the value of pulse forming capacitance, feeder cable and ozone generator capacitance, and corona tip density. Maximum conversion efficiency was obtained with a pulse forming capacitance of about 500pF, 75pF matched feeder cable and ozone generator, and a corona tip density of 16mm. When operated at optimum values, ozone yield of 79, 99, 80 g/KWh for the different interelectrode type ozone generators tested were obtained, which are approximately 30% higher than that of an industrial ozone generator.
