본 연구에서는 각종 제올라이트 즉 국내산 천연 및 합성 제올라이트를 이용하여 방사성폐액 내에 있는 Cs, Sr 이온을 분리하는데 주안점을 두어 각종 제올라이트에 대한 이온교환선택성, 이온교환능 및 이에 영향을 미치는 변수 등을 고찰하여 최적의 제올라이트 선정과 분리조건을 결정하는데 중점을 두었다. 이온교환능에 있어 Cs의 경우는 AW500형, Sr의 경우 13X형이 가장 우수한 결과를 나타내었다. AW500-Cs계, AW300-Cs계, 천연산 제올라이트-Cs계 및 4A-Sr계, 13X-Sr계의 온도영향을 고찰한 결과 4A-Sr계 및 천연산 제올라이트-Cs계를 제외하고는 온도와 무관한 관계를 나타내었다. 이중 4A형 제올라이트는 온도 증가에 따라 Sr이온의 활동도 증가 및 multilayer 흡착에 의하여 이온교환량이 증가한 것 같다. 평형상태에서의 용액의 pH와 분배계수, $K_d$와의 상관관계를 고찰하여 본 결과 PH의 증가에 따라 $K_d$값의 증가를 보였다. 또한 주입용액의 pH는 2~3 이상에서 조업하는 것이 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. AW500-Cs계의 경우 $K_d$는 $10^3cm^3/g$, 4A-Sr계 및 13X-Sr계의 경우 $K_d$는 $10^3{\sim}10^4cm^3/g$ 정도를 나타내었다.

A simple LC-MS/MS method of rabeprazole in human plasma was developed and validated. Rabeprazole and Internal standard (I.S), omeprazole, were extracted from human plasma by liquid liquid extraction, chromatographic separation of rabaprazole in plasma was achieved at $45^{\circ}C$ with a Shiseido UG120 $C_{18}$ column and methanol-10 mM ammonium acetate buffer (pH 9.42 with ammonium water), as mobile phase. Rabeprazole produced a protonated precursor ion [$(M+H)^+$] at m/z 360.10 and corresponding product ion at m/z 242.21. Internal standard produced a protonated precursor ion [$(M+H)^+$] at 346.09 and corresponding product ion at m/z 198.09. This method showed linear response over the concentration range of $1{\sim}500\;ng/mL$ with correalation coefficient greater than 0.99. The lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ) using 0.2 mL plasma was 1 ng/mL, which was sensitive enough for pharmacokinetics studies. The method was specific and validated with a limit of quantitation of 1 ng/mL. The intra-day and inter-day precision and accuracy were acceptable for all samples including the LLOQ. The applicability of the method was demonstrated by analysis of plasma after administration of a single 10 mg dose to 36 healthy subject. From the plasma rabeprazole concentration versus time curves, the mean $AUC_t$ (The area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time 0 to 12 hr ) was $691.36{\pm}321.88\;ng{\cdot}hr/mL$, $C_{max}$ (maximum plasma drug concentration) of $353.21{\pm}131.52\;ng/mL$ reached $3.4{\pm}1.1\;hr$ after adiministration. The mean biological half-life of rabeprazole was $1.37{\pm}0.75\;hr$. Based on the results, this simple method could readily be used in pharmacokinetics studies.

The influences of protease on the removal of various protein soils from cotton fabrics were studied. The human epidermal stratum corneum, hemoglobin and casein were used as protein soils. The soiled fabrics were denatured by steaming for 30 min. before washing and laundered using Terg-O-Tometer under washing conditions. The removal efficiency was evaluated by analysis of protein on the fabrics before and after washing by means of copper-Folin method. The relations between the removal and the characteristics of protease were discussed. Also the degradation of protein were examined by microscopy. The seperation of human epidermal stratum corneum after hydrolysis was examined by SDS-PAGE. The results obtained were as follow : 1. The protein from the soiled cotton fabric was removed effectively by adding protease. The removal of protein was increased in proportion to increasing of the enzyme concentration up to a certain point, but it began to decrease above the point. The removal effect was high in the order of casein>human epidermal stratum corneum>hemoglobin. Especially the protein was more effectively removed in ADS solution(pH 9.5) containing enzyme. 2. When protease was used with ADS. the removal of protein was efficiently showed in relatively short time(5~15min.) compared to using ADS only. It is due to the properties of this enzyme that reacts with very short time. 3. Even at low temperature the removal efficiency of enzyme was relatively higher compared with the activity of enzyme. The removal of protein soil was increased up to a maximum near $50^{\circ}C$, and then decreased. 4. The removal of protein by protease was improved with the increase of alkalinity in the pH range from 9.5 to 11.0 but it began to decrease above pH 11.0. 5. According to the increase of mechanical agitation, the removal effect was increased. But the removal efficiency of protease was more effective compared with the agitation in detergency. 6. According to the SDS-PAGE separation and micrograph it was confirmed that the human epidermal corneum was effectively hydrolysed by the enzyme added. So the fragments of protein were removed more efficiently by means of the interfacial reaction of AOS.

기존의 용융탄산염 연료전지용 연료극인 Ni-Cr전극은 제조과정이 복잡하며, 운전조건에서 전극의 소결과 creep현상으로 인하여 전극의 기공률과 두께가 감소하는 문제점이 있어 상용화에 걸림돌이 되고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 Ni-Cr계 전극보다 creep저항성이 우수하다고 알려져 있는 Ni-Al계 합금을 사용하였다. 또한 공정의 단순화로 비용을 절감시키기 위해, 소성과정을 제외하고 tape casting과 건조과정을 거친 green sheet를 단위전지에 장착하여 전처리 과정 중에 소결시키는 in-situ 소결법에 대해 연구하였다. 그러나 기존의 전처리 방법을 이용한 단위전지 평가에서 Ni-Al 합금의 상분리 현상으로 인해 기대하였던 creep저항성 향상을 확인하지 못했고, 운전중 Ni-Al합금 연료극에 단위전지의 구성요소인 matrix 기공크기보다 작은 기공(${\leq}0.4{\mu}m$)이 다량 생성되어 전해질 재분배를 일으켜 성능이 하락하는 문제점이 나타났다. 따라서 이러한 문제점을 해결하고자 전처리 조건을 변화시키며 실험을 수행하였다. 그 결과, 비활성 기체인 질소를 일정한 구간에 사용함으로써 기존 전처리에서 발생하였던 Ni-Al 합금의 상분리 현상을 억제할 수 있었으며 이로 인해 creep저항성 또한 향상시킬 수 있었다. 그러나 운전 중 생성되는 matrix기공크기보다 작은 기공(${\leq}0.4{\mu}m$) 형성비율은 억제할 수 없었다. 위의 전처리 조건을 가지고 단위전지 운전실험을 하였고, 전해질 함침비율을 조절함에 따라 성능을 향상시킬 수 있었으며 2000시간 동안 일정하게 유지함을 확인하였다. 이로부터 기존의 소성전극과 비교하여 많은 장점을 가지고 있는 in-situ 소결법의 가능성을 확인할 수 있었다.

급격한 산업화에 따른 에너지 사용량의 증가로 대기 중 이산화탄소(CO₂)의 농도가 증가하여 기후변화가 가속화되고 있다. 여기에 대응하기 위해 에너지 패러다임 전환이 필요하고, 그 일환으로 수소(H₂)가 주목받고 있다. 하지만 현재 대부분(95%)의 수소가 화석연료 기반의 추출수소로 생성되며, 많은 양의 CO₂를 배출하고 있다. 이를 그레이수소라 하는데 여기에 CO₂포집·이용·저장(CCUS)기술을 적용하여 CO₂ 배출량을 줄이면 블루수소가 된다. 상용 CO₂ 포집기술로는 습식법, 건식법, 분리막법이 있는데 각자 장단점을 가지고 있어 배가스 특성분석이 선행되어야 한다. 수소생산기지에서 배출되는 CO₂는 수분제거 시 20%를 상회하고 배출량은 중소규모로 분류되어 습식법 보다 분리막법의 적용이 유리할 것으로 판단된다. 또한, LNG 냉열을 사용할 수 있다면 분리막의 포집성능(선택도)이 향상되어 효율적인 CO₂ 포집 공정 구현이 가능하다. 본 연구에서는 수소생산기지에서 배출되는 배가스를 분석하고 여기에 적합한 CO₂ 포집기술에 대한 논의가 이뤄질 것이다.

1-Nitropyrene (1-NP), 2-NP and 2-nitrofluoranthene (2-NFR) are useful markers for studying the atmospheric behaviors of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and nitropolycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (NPAHs). However, present methods for measuring trace levels of these compounds are lesssensitive and laborious. Here we describe several improvements to a previously reported high-performance liquid chromatography-chemiluminescence detection system that allows it to determine trace levels of 1-, 2-NPs and 2-NFR. The proposed system was equipped with a reducer column packed with Pt/Rh instead of zinc whose life-time was limited. The combination of Cosmosil MS-II (monomeric ODS) and AR-II (polymeric ODS) columns was used instead of polymeric ODS columns as the separator column to improve the separation. An ethanol mixture with acetate buffer (pH 5.5) was used in place of an acetonitrile mixture with the same buffer to activate the reducer column. The same ethanol mixture was used as the mobile phase for the clean-up column. The switching time of the column switching valve was optimized to concentrate the amino-derivatives of above NPAHs quantitatively on the concentrator column. The concentrations of bis(2,4,6-trichlorophenly) oxalate and hydrogen peroxide in the chemiluminescence reagent solution were optimized to 0.4 mM and 30 mM, respectively, to increase the sensitivity. Under the above conditions, the detection limits (S/N=3) of 1-, 2-NPs and 2-NFR were 1 fmol (0.25 pg), 10 fmol (2.5 pg) and 4 fmol (1 pg), respectively. The proposed system was effectively used to determine trace levels of 1-, 2-NPs and 2-NFR in airborne particulates collected at Noto Peninsula. The atmospheric concentrations of 1-, 2-NPs and 2-NFR were not more than sub pg $m^{-3}$ levels. They were higher in winter (January) than in summer (July). In both seasons, the concentrations were in decreasing order, [2-NFR]>[1-NP]>[2-NP].

Aerodynamic property is the most important factor in designing the pneumatic separator and handling equipment for grains and seeds. Particularly the correct information about the terminal velocities of the corresponding grains and seeds is indispensible. However, a few studies with relation to the terminal velocities of grains and seeds were conducted in this country, even though the terminal velocities of the domestic grains and seeds are required to design those equiments which can be used for the domestic grains and seeds having specific aerodynamic properties. In this study, the terminal velocities for four varieties of varley and six varieties of paddy were investigated by means of two different methods, the suspension method and the drop method in an upward current of air. For measuring the terminal velocities, the vertical wind tunnel which had been examined about the uniform air flow in the previous study was used. In addition, the effect of the size of grains and the moisture content of grain kernel on the terminal velocity was examined. The following conclusions were derived from the study : 1. The different terminal velocities of grains are resulted from the different measuring methods. The terminal velocity measured by the drop method is smaller than that by the suspension method. It is considered that the difference in the terminal velocities is caused by the difference in the projection area of grain which is faced to the air stream. 2. The terminal velocity of grain increases as the size and the moisture content of the kernel increase. 3. The linear regression equations for the terminal velocities of grains were derived in terms of the moisture content of grains by the variety of grains and the measuring method. Also, the linear regression equations for the terminal velocity, based on the weighted size of grains, were derived in terms of the moisture contents of granis.

A formal survey was carried out in Nharira-Lancashire areas located in Chivhu to assess the calf rearing systems practiced in smallholder dairy farming areas of Zimbabwe. A total of 47 farmers, collectively owning 305 cows and 194 calves of various breeds, participated in the survey. All the farmers allowed their calves to suckle their dams all day to obtain colostrum. The colostrums intake period was significantly (p < 0.05) shorter (5.2 vs 4.1 days) in the small scale commercial area (SSCA) compared to communal area (CA). Milk was first sold to the Nharira-Lancashire Milk Centre a day after the colostrum intake period ended. Most of the CA (91.3%) and SSCA (77.8%) farmers penned their cows and calves together at night during the colostrum intake period. Thereafter the calves were penned separate from their dams. After colostrum intake, two types of calf suckling systems were practised; twice a day suckling and twice a day then changed to once a day suckling. In both systems, suckling was allowed for 30 minutes after the cows had been hand milked. There was no significant (p < 0.05) difference in the mean weaning age of calves between the CA and SSCA (5.8 vs 5.4 months). The most common weaning method was through separation of the calves from the dams. The limitaitions to calf production in Chivhu were the prohibitively high costs of calf meals, poor feed resources during the dry season, a general lack of knowledge on calf rearing diseases and inappropriate calf housing.

The concentration of veterinary antibiotics in aqueous and sediment matrices was measured in agricultural irrigation ditches bordering several animal-feeding operations (AFOs) and then compared to its concentration in the watershed. Analytical determination in aqueous samples was based on solid phase extraction (SPE) and appropriate buffer solutions were used to extract residuals in sediment samples. Separation and detection of extracted veterinary antibiotics were performed with high performance liquid chromatograph tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC/MS/MS). In general, higher concentrations of antibiotic were observed in the aqueous phase of irrigation ditches, with the highest concentration of erythromycin hydrochloride (ETM-$H_2O$) of $0.53{\mu}g\;L^{-1}$, than in aqueous watershed samples. In contrast, higher concentrations were measured in river sediment than in irrigation ditch sediment with the highest concentration of oxytetracycline of $110.9{\mu}g\;kg^{-1}$. There was a high calculated correlation ( > 0.95) between precipitation and measured concentration in aqueous samples from the irrigation ditches for five of the ten targeted veterinary antibiotics, indicating that surface runoff could be an important transport mechanism of veterinary antibiotics from field to environment. Further, environmental loading calculation based on measured concentrations in aqueous samples and flow information clearly showed that irrigation ditches were 18 times greater than river. This result suggests the likelihood that veterinary antibiotics can be transported via irrigation ditches to the watershed. The transport via surface runoff and likely environmental loading via irrigation ditches examined in this study helps identify the pathway of veterinary antibiotics residuals in the environment.
