A new isolate, Bacillus sp. ALK-7 can synthesize ethylene from l-aminocyclopropane-l-carboxylic acid (ACC) as well as from methionine. The ACC has only been recognized as a key intermediate found in the metabolic pathway leading to ethylene formation in various plants. The efficiency of ethylene formation from the ACC by Bacillus sp. ALK-7 was about 2 times as high as that from the methionine. The reaction from ACC to ethylene formation was also shown to be mediated by the cell-free extracts of Bacillus sp. ALK-7.

The influence of oxidant addition on soot formation is investigated experimentally with ethylene, propane and mixture fuel co-flow diffusion flames. Oxidant addition into fuel shows the increase of integrated soot volume fractions for ethylene, ethylene/ethane and ethylene/methane mixture flames. However, the increase of integrated soot volume fraction with oxidant addition was not significant for propane and ethylene/propane mixture flames. This discrepancy is explained with $C_2\;and\;C_3$ chemistry at the early stage of soot formation process. The oxidant addition increases the concentration of $C_3H_3$ in the soot formation region, and therefore, enhances soot formation process. A new soot formation rate model that includes both dilution effect and chemical effect of oxygen is suggested to interpret the increase of integrated soot volume fractions with oxidant addition into ethylene. Also, the role of adiabatic flame temperature for the chemical effect of oxygen addition into fuel was reviewed. The influence of oxidant or diluent addition into fuel on soot formation process are the fuel dilution effect, the adiabatic flame temperature altering effect and/or the chemical effect of oxygen. Their relative importance could change with fuel structure and adiabatic flame temperature.

The soot formation characteristics have been studied experimentally in concentric co-flow ethylene/propane diffusion flames. Comparing to the homogeneously mixed propane/ethylene case, the increase of soot formation is observed when propane is supplied through the outer nozzle, while the decrease is observed when propane is supplied through the inner nozzle. The reaction path of PAHs formed from the pyrolysis process of propane is likely to be responsible to the observed difference. When propane is supplied through the outer nozzle, PAHs formed during the combustion process are easy to be exposed to the oxidization environment; however, when propane is supplied through the inner nozzle, PAHs are not likely to be oxidized and thus get involved in soot formation process. The synergistic effect in ethylene/propane diffusion flames is affected not only by the composition of mixture but also by the way of mixing.

이중동축류 버너를 사용하여 에틸렌/프로판 및 에틸렌/메탄 혼합 연료의 매연생성 상승효과와 관련된 매연생성 메커니즘을 이해하기 위한 실험을 수행하였다. 매연체적분율, 광산란신호 및 PAH 형광신호를 측정한 결과 다음을 알 수 있었다. 에틸렌/프로판 혼합연료에서 연료공급 위치의 변화에 따른 매연생성특성의 변화는 대부분 synergistic 효과와 관련되는 것임을 알 수 있었다. 그러나 에틸렌/메탄 혼합연료의 경우 연료공급의 위치변화가 매연생성에 크게 영향을 주지 않았다. PAH 분포는 synergistic 효과에 의한 매연 생성 특성의 변화와 일관성이 없는 것이 관찰되었다. 따라서 synergistic 효과에 대한 PAH의 역할에 대한 이해가 필요함을 알 수 있었다.

In order to investigate the effect of fuel mixing on PAH and soot formation, four species of methane, ethane, propane and propene have been mixed in counterlfow ethylene diffusion flame. Laser-induced incandescene and laser-induced fluorescene techniques were employed to measure soot volume fraction and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) concentration, respectively. Results showed that the mixing of ethane (or propane) in ethylene diffusion flame produces more PAHs and soot than those of propene. Considering that propene directly dehydrogenates to propargyl radical, this behavior implied that the enhancement of PAH and soot formation by the fuel mixing of ethylene and ethane (or propane) cannot be explained solely by propargyl radical directly dehydrogenated from ethane (or propane). Thus, combination reactions between C1 and C2-species for the formation of propargyl was suggested to identify the synergistic effect occurring in the flames of ethylene and propane (or ethane) mixtures.

Soot particle temperatures in co-flow diffusion flames have been measured using a two-color pyrometry at the pressure of 0.2 MPa(2 atm). The measured soot particle temperatures along with the integrated soot volume fractions are analyzed to understand soot formation characteristics. At 0.2 MPa, the addition of small amount of air into ethylene do not change the soot particle temperature in soot formation regions. This result showed that the increase of soot formation with addition of air is mostly due to the chemical effect of the added air, such as the increased role of C3 chemistry during the early stage of soot inception process. The addition of sufficient air into ethylene, however, changes soot particle temperatures and the understanding of soot formation characteristics becomes complicated. Measured soot particle temperatures also showed that there is no significant temperature effect for the synergistic effect of ethylene/propane mixture on soot formation.

In order to investigate the effect of dimethyl ether (DME) on PAH and soot formation, the fuel has been mixed to the counter-flow diffusion flames of ethylene. Laser-induced incandescence and laser-induced fluorescence techniques were employed to measure relative concentrations of soot volume fraction and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) concentration, respectively. Results showed that even though pure DME flame produces the minimal amount of PAH and soot, the mixture fuel of DME and ethylene could increase PAH and soot formation, as compared to those of pure ethylene flame. This implies that even though DME has been known to be a clean fuel for soot formation, the mixture fuel of DME and the hydrocarbon fuel could produce enhanced production of soot. Numerical simulation demonstrated that methyl (CH$_{3}$) radical generated by the initial pyrolysis of DME can be contributed to the enhancement of PAH and soot formation, through the formation of propargyl (C$_{3}$H$_{3}$) radical.

Poly(ethylene-co-vinyl acetate)(EVA) microspheres were prepared by a thermally induced phase separation. The microsphere formation occurred by the nucleation and growth mechanism in the metastable region. The diluent used was toluene. The microsphere formation and growth was followed by the cloud point of the optical microscope measurement. The microsphere size distribution, which was obtained by SEM observation and particle size analyzer, became broader when the polymer concentration was higher, the content of vinyl acetate in EVA copolymer was higher, and the cooling rate of EVA copolymer solution was lower.

매연과 다중고리 방향족 탄화수소의 생성에 대하여 n-헵탄의 혼합의 영향을 알아보기 위하여 순수에틸렌 대향류 확산화염에 n-헵탄을 소량 혼합하여 실험을 수행하였다. 매연체적분율과 PAH의 생성 계측에서는 레이저 유도 형광법 (laser-induced fluorescence; LIF)과 레이저 유도 백열법(laser-induced incandescence; LII)의 레이저 계측법을 이용하였다. 실험결과로 순수 에틸렌 화염에 소량의 n-헵탄을 혼합한 경우에는 매연과 다중고리 방향족 탄화수소가 상승하였다. 그러나 20% n-헵탄 혼합화염의 경우 LIF 신호가 감소하였다. 소량의 혼합화염의 경우, 다중고리 방향족 탄화수소와 매연의 상승은 n-헵탄 혼합에 의해 저온 영역에서의 메틸 라디칼의 증가로 의한다고 사료된다. 10% n-헵탄 혼합화염에 대한 화학반응 프로세스를 살펴본 결과 H 라디칼에 의한 반응율이 벤젠 생성에 결정적인 역할을 한다는 것을 알 수 있었다.
