A new crosslinked, poly(acrylic acid)-based, dehydrating agent was synthesized through solution polymerization. The Taguchi method, a robust experimental design, was adopted to optimize the synthetic conditions based on the moisture and water absorbing capacities of the dehydrating agent. The method applied for the experiment was a standard L27 ($3^8$) orthogonal array with eight parameters and three levels. By analyzing the variance of the test results, the most effective parameters to control the moisture absorbing capacity (MAC) and its rate were the kind of alkaline base (LiOH, NaOH, or KOH) used as a neutralizing agent of the acrylic acid monomer and the degree of neutralization: The maximum MAC of 40% was achieved at only 2 hat $32^{\circ}C$ and 50% RH when KOH was used as a base and the degree of neutralization was 90%, respectively. However, the water absorbing capacity (WAC) of the resulting dehydrating agent was very low at 158 g/g, indicating that WAC is unaffected by MAC and its rate in this system. The surface morphologies of the agents were examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM).

분자압축 탈수공정에 의한 색도변화는 재사용 탈수액을 적용한 건조공정에서 원물과 유사한 색도를 나타내었다. 수분 및 수분활성도에서도 유의적 경향이 일치하였다. 탈수액의 농도와 첨가량에 의한 탈수율과 복원율의 변화에서는 탈수액의 농도 차이에 따라 탈수율은 달라졌으며 농도가 커질수록 탈수율이 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 복원율 역시 탈수액 농도가 낮을수록 완만한 복원율을 나타내었고 탈수액의 농도가 높을수록 복원율이 높았다. 탈수액의 첨가량에 의한 탈수율과 복원율에 변화에서는 첨가량이 다른 탈수제 차이에 따라 탈수율과 복원율이 달라졌으며 첨가량이 커질수록 탈수액 농도와 같이 뚜렷하게 탈수율이 증가하고 복원율이 높게 나타났다. 관능평가를 통하여 탈수액의 농도와 첨가량별 탈수액을 적용하여 분자압축 탈수건조한 생강시료를 비교 하였을 때 모든 항목에서 열풍건조가 가장 낮았고 외관의 경우에서는 동결건조한 시료가 우수하였지만 전체적인 평가에 있어서 탈수액을 이용하여 건조한 생강이 가장 우수하였다. 이 처럼 모든 품질평가 항목의 결과를 통하여 탈수액을 적용한 건조방법이 열풍건조와 동결건조보다 품질이 우수하고 시설과 가격에서 경쟁적으로 우수하며 활용가치와 기존의 건조방법의 단점을 보완해 주는 건조 방법으로 판단이 되어진다.

This study evaluated the dewatering efficiency of inorganic dehydrating agents that contain oyster shells. A filter press dehydrator was used for this study. The experiments were performed by the single injection of calcium-based chemicals, the single injection of oyster shells, and the mixed injection of oyster shells and calcium-based chemicals. The moisture content of the dewatered cake generated after dehydration confirmed that the best dewatering efficiency was found at the mixing ratios of CaCO₃ to sludge, oyster shell to sludge, and inorganic dehydrating agent to sludge of 3:1, 10:1, and 1.5:2.5:1, respectively. The moisture contents exhibited less than 58% when the injection mixing ratio of inorganic dehydrating agent to sludge was 1.5:2.5:1. From EPS, SEM, and EDX analysis, it was found that the calcium adsorbed on the sludge surface could reduce extracellular polymeric substances (EPSs) and enhanced the dewaterbility. Based on the above results, it is considered possible to apply inorganic dehydrating agents containing recycled oyster shells in sludge dewatering in order to reduce sludge.

Sludge transporting pipes in wastewater treatment plant are easy to be clogged with struvite when the digested sludge and dehydrated filtrate are transported through the pipes, which lowers the efficiency of sludge treatment system in a WWTP. pH is one of the most important factors in struvite formation, and carbon dioxide separated from biogas can be used to control pH and struvite formation. By controlling pH, the amount of dehydrating agent can be reduced by about 10%, which saves the budget for facility maintenance. As $CO_2$ is reused and dehydrating chemicals are saved, the approach can contribute to global warming gas reduction.

Bovine mastitis is an important disease causing serious economic loss in dairy production and food poison in public health. Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus are the major causative agents of bovine mastitis. These bacteria were found in milk and environmental condition such as feces, water, soil and so on. Bovine mastitis causative micro-organisms can survive in 1-2 weeks in feces and bed complexes. Low level of percentage of water content (PWC) of feces and bed complexes can reduce the spreading of bovine mastitis incidence from environmental contamination. In this study, we developed the fecal dehydrating system and determined the elimination rates of bovine mastitis causative agent from feces and bed complexes. To develop the fecal dehydrating system, the screw pressurized dehydrating system was used and the maximum rate of dehydrating was reached to 52% PWC using 90% PWC (wet base) of fecal and bed complexes. The elimination rates of the dehydrating system for E. coli and S. aureus were reached at 41.19 $\pm$ 7.84% to 62.55 $\pm$ 8.71% in various percentages of PWC of feces and bed complexes (80, 85 and 90%). These results suggested that the application of fecal dehydrating system would reduce the exposure of dairy cattle to bovine mastitis causing agents contaminated feces and bed complexes, and can be used for environmental bovine mastitis control avoiding misuse or abuse of chemical disinfectants and antibiotics in dairy farm.

천연셀룰로오스의 탄화과정에서 탄화수율에 영향을 미치는 인자는 탄화온도, 승온속도 및 탄화로 내의 분위기를 들 수 있다. 일반적으로 탄화수율을 높이기 위해서는 탄화목표온도를 낮추고, 승온속도를 느리게 하면 탄화로의 분위기를 불활성가스의 조건에서 탄화수율이 높아진다고 보고되어 있다. 본 연구에서는 탄화조건 중에서 가장 유동성을 가지고 있는 승온속도를 조절하고, 탈수촉매제로서 황산을 첨가함으로서 탄화수율의 향상과 탄화과정에서 천연셀룰로오스를 재료로 하여 탄화특성에 대하여 조사하였다. 그 결과 황산무처리시료에 대하여는 승온속도가 증가함에 따라 수율이 상당히 감소하였지만 황산처리 시료는 승온속도가 증가하여도 수율 감소 폭이 크지 않았다. 본 연구의 결과에서 탄화과정에 있어서 승온속도의 조절과 적당한 탈수제의 첨가는 탄화재료의 수율 향상과 탄화시간 단축에 유용한 기초자료가 될 것으로 생각된다.

A series of noble poly(amide-imide)s and copoly(amide-imide)s bearing 1,2-bis(4-phenoxy)benzene units were synthesized by the direct polycondensation of 1,2-bis(4-trimellitimidophenoxy)benzene[1,2-PTPB] with a combination of commercially available aromatic diamines and diacids such as m-phenylene diamine, p-phenylene diamine(PPD), isophthalic acid and terephthalic acid(TA) in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone(NMP) using triphenyl phosphite and pyridine as a condensing agent in the presence of dehydrating agent ($CaCl_2$). The resulting polymers had inherent viscosities in the range of 0.37~0.78 dL/g and most of them were soluble m common organic solvents including NMP, dimethylacetamide, dimethylsulfoxide, dimethylformamide, and m-cresol. Wide-angle X-ray diffractograms revealed that the copoly(amide-imide) derived from PPD with mixed acids of 1,2-BTPB and TA, showed crystalline nature, whereas all of the other polymers were found to be amorphous. The glass transition temperatures of the polymers occurred over the temperature range of $270{\sim}323^{\circ}C$ in their differential scanning calorimetry curves and their 10% weight loss temperature, determined by thermogravimetric analysis in air and nitrogen atmosphere, were in the range $465{\sim}535^{\circ}C$, $500{\sim}550^{\circ}C$, respectively, indicating their good thermal stability.

Chiral oxazolidin-2-one is easily prepared from D-mannitol and demonstrated to undergo highly diastereoselective alkylation reactions via lithium imide Z-enolates of its N-acyl derivatives to afford ${\alpha}-branched$ products. Evans syn and non-Evans sy n aldol products were also selectively obtained using this new auxiliary in high diastereomeric purity by simply changing the stoichiometry of TiCl4 and the nature of the amine base. Also, this new auxiliary is employed in diastereoselective Staudinger-type ${\beta}-lactam$ syntheses. Using 2-chloro-1-methylpyridinium iodide as the dehydrating agent, the reaction of auxiliary tethered acetic acid with trans imines gave the desired ${\beta}-lactams$ with cis-selectivity.

Purple sweet potatoes were dehydrated with maltodextrin with different dextrose equivalent (DE) values of 4-7, 13-17, 16.5-19.5, and 17-20. Maltodextrin was used as a molecular press dehydrating agent. The molecular dehydration rate of the purple sweet potatoes increased over time. As the DE of maltodextrin increased, the moisture content after 12 h of dehydration decreased from 65.7% to 40.8, 36.1, 34.9, and 28.6% for DE values of 4-7, 13-17, 16.5-17.5, and 17-20, respectively. Additionally, total phenolic content, anthocyanin, and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activities decreased as the DE value of maltodextrin increased. While maltodextrins with DE values of 16.5-19.5 and 17-20 effectively dehydrated the purple sweet potatoes, total phenolic, anthocyanin, and DPPH radical scavenging activities were lowered during dehydration. The DPPH radical scavenging activities correlated to both the total phenolic content ($r^2=0.96$) and anthocyanin contents ($r^2=0.95$) of the purple sweet potatoes. These results indicate that the purple sweet potatoes were effectively dehydrated with maltodextrin whose DE values ranged 16.5-20, although there were losses in the total phenolic and anthocyanin contents.
