최근 전 세계적으로 코로나바이러스감염증-19(COVID-19)의 확산됨에 따라 비대면 서비스가 성장하고 이와 동시에 플라스틱 폐기물 문제가 더욱 심화되고 있다. 동시에 탄소중립과 지속가능한 순환경제와 같은 친환경 정책이 전 세계적으로 추진되고 있고 친환경 제품에 대한 높은 수요로 인해 패키징 업계에서도 PLA, PBAT 등을 사용한 친환경 포장재 개발과 새로운 비즈니스 모델 창출을 시도하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 환경적 이슈에 우리나라 남해와 제주도 연안에서 매년 대량으로 발생하여 여러 형태의 문제를 야기하고 있는 구멍갈파래(Ulva australis)를 새로운 대체 에너지 원료로서 활용하고자 묽은 산 전처리, 효소 당화, 발효 공정을 거쳐 해조류 바이오매스 유래 Lactic acid를 생산하고자 하였다. 일반적으로 해조류는 종, 수확장소, 시기 등에 따라 탄수화물의 함량과 당의 구성이 다양하며, Cellulose, Alginate, Mannan, Xylan 등의 다당류로 구성되어 있고 리그닌 성분을 함유하고 있지 않아 곡물·목질계 자원보다 유용한 특징이 있다. 구멍갈파래를 구성하고 있는 복합 다당체는 한가지 공정만으로 높은 추출 수율을 기대하기 어려우나 본 연구에서 제시된 묽은 산 및 효소 당화의 융합 공정은 구멍갈파래가 함유하고 있는 대부분의 당 추출이 가능하기 때문에 상업화 규모의 생산 공정 구축 시 높은 Lactic acid 생산 수율을 기대할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

The biomass of the brown seaweed, Ecklonia, was used to remove Cr(VI) from wastewater. Previously, Cr(VI) was removed through its reduction to Cr(III) when brought into contact with the biomass. In this study, the effects of ionic strength, background electrolytes, and Cr(III), Ni(II), Zn(II), and Fe(III) on the Cr(VI) reduction were examined. An increased ionic strength inhibited the Cr(VI) reduction. The presence of other heavy metals, such as Cr(III), Ni(II), or Zn(II), only slightly affected the Cr(VI) reduction, while Fe(III) enhanced the reduction. Although the above various parameters could affect the reduction rate of Cr(VI) by Ecklonia biomass, these effects were relatively smaller than those of pH and temperature. In addition, the previously derived rate equation was found to be applicable over a range of ionic strengths and with different background electrolytes. In conclusion, Ecklonia, bioniass may be a good candidate as a biosorbent for the removal of Cr(VI) from wastewaters containing various other impurities, and scale-up to a practical process may be accomplished using the previously derived rate equation.

The benthic marine algal flora and community structure were examined at five sites of the Taean Peninsula, Korea, during July-August 2005. Ninety-six algal species were Identified, including 14 green, 21 brown, and 60 red algae, and 1 marine plant. The common species that occurred at the five sites were Sargassum thunbergii, Gelidium divaricatum, Caulacanthus okamurae, Gracilavia vermiculophylla, and Neorhodomela aculeata. Sthunbergii was the dominant species in terms of coverage and biomass at ail of the study sites. The average biomass varied from $23.72g/m^2$ in dry weight at Chaeseokpo to $66.43g/m^2$ at Padori. The species could be divided into six functional groups in terms of morphological characteristics: 41 coarsely branched forms, 25 filamentous forms, 16 sheet forms, 7 thick leathery forms, including the marine plant Phyllospadix iwatensis, 4 crustose forms, and 3 Jointed calcareous forms. The seaweed communities at the five study sites were unstable and the environmental conditions were bad or very bad. Among the five study sites, the ecological evaluation index (EEI) and diversity index (H') were maximal at Padori at 2.29 and 1.98, respectively. By contrast, the dominance index (DI) was minimal at Padori (0.55) and maximal at Baramarae (0.96). Therefore, we conclude that the rocky shore at Padori has the best environment among the five study sites, although the species richness and biomass of seaweeds have declined continuously over the last 10 years.

Bioethanol was produced from Kappaphycus alvarezii seaweed biomass using separate hydrolysis and fermentation (SHF). Pretreatment was evaluated for 60 min at 121℃ using 12% (w/v) biomass slurry with 364 mM H₂SO₄. Enzymatic saccharification was then carried out at 45℃ for 48 h using Celluclast 1.5 L. Ethanol fermentation with 12% (w/v) K. alvarezii hydrolyzate was performed using the yeasts Saccharomyces cerevisiae KCTC1126, Kluyveromyces marxianus KCTC7150, and Candida lusitaniae ATCC42720 with or without prior adaptation to high concentrations of galactose. When non-adapted S. cerevisiae, K. marxianus, and C. lusitaniae were used, 11.5 g/l, 6.7 g/l, and 6.0 g/l of ethanol were produced, respectively. When adapted S. cerevisiae, K. marxianus, and C. lusitaniae were used, 15.8 g/l, 11.6 g/l, and 13.4 g/l of ethanol were obtained, respectively. The highest ethanol concentration was 15.8 g/l, with Y_EtOH = 0.43 and Y_T% = 84.3%, which was obtained using adapted S. cerevisiae.

Biomass of non-living brown seaweed Sargassun fluitans pretreated with NaOH is capable of taking up more than $10\%$ $(q_{max}$ : 3.85 mmol/g for Al and 1.48 mmol/g for Cu) of its dry weight in the Al and Cu at pH of 4.5. However, the maximum Al and Cu uptakes calculated from Langmuir isotherm were 1.58 mmol/g for Al and 1.35 mmol/g for Cu at pH 3.5. Equilibrium batch sorption study was performed using two-metal system containing Al and Cu. The mathematical model of the two-metal sorption system enabled quantitative estimation of one-metal biosorption inhibition due to the influence of a second metal. NaOH-treated S. fluitans contained 2.19 mmol $(43\;wt.\%)$ carboxyl groups per gram of biomass. A modified form of Langmuir, which assumes binding of Cu as $Cu^{2+}$ and Al as $Al(OH)_2^+,$ was used to model the experimental data. This result agrees with the one of mono-valent sorption for Al in single-metal system. The modified Langmuir model gives the following affinity correlated coefficients: 0.196 for Cu and 6.820 for Ah at pH 4.5, and 2.904 for Cu and 3.131 for Al at pH 3.5. The interference of Al in Cu biosorptive uptake was assessed by `cutting' the three dimensional uptake isotherm surfaces at constant second-metal final concentrations. Equimolar final equilibrium concentrations of Cu and Al of 1 mM at pH 4.5 give Cu and hi uptakes reduced by $82.5\%\;and\;5.4\%,$ respectively. However, these values at pH 3.5 were $55\%\;(Cu)\;and\;31\%$ (Al).

Seasonal variability in algal community structure was examined at the intertidal zones of five study sites on the Taean Peninsula, on the western coast of Korea, from February 2014 to November 2015. A total of 118 species of marine algae, comprising 17 green, 24 brown and 77 red algae, were identified. The maximum number of species was observed at the Mohang site (75 species), and the minimum at the Yeonpo site (46 species). The seaweed biomass was $160.24g\;dry\;wt./m^2$ on average, and was maximal at Uihang ($519.04g\;dry\;wt./m^2$) and minimal at Yeonpo ($19.03g\;dry\;wt./m^2$). Based on biomass, the dominant seaweeds at Taean peninsula were Sargassum thunbergii and Corallina pilulifera. Community indices were as follows: richness index (R), 3.21-5.01; evenness index (J'), 0.33-0.38; and diversity index (H'), 0.90-1.12. Based on evaluation of the environmental states by the community indices, the ecological evaluation index (EEI) of Taean peninsula was "moderate". The overall species and biomass of seaweeds decreased after the oil spill. However, Hakampo previously showed a similar algal community structure. In conclusion, the algal community was temporarily affected by the oil spill, but rapidly recovered.

미세조류 및 거대조류 등 3세대 바이오매스로부터 바이오가스를 생산하는 연구는 다양한 규모의 실험을 통해 수행된 바 있다. 이 논문에서는 3세대 바이오매스 중 거대조류, 즉 해조류 바이오매스로부터 유래된 바이오가스를 이용하는 복합 열병합 발전의 상용화 가능성을 살펴보았다. 이를 위해 고체산화물 연료전지와 가스터빈, 그리고 유기랭킨사이클로 이루어진 산업 스케일의 통합 열병합발전을 상용 공정모사기를 이용하여 설계, 모사하였고, 계산된 열 및 물질수지를 통해 장치의 가격을 추정하고 경제성을 분석하였다. 모사 결과 설계된 열병합발전 공정은 시간당 62.5톤의 건조 갈조류 원료로부터 생산된 36톤의 바이오가스를 이용하여 68.4 MW의 전력을 생산한다. 이 결과를 토대로 다양한 시나리오에 대해 경제적으로 평가하고 균둥화 발전비용(levelized electricity cost, LEC)을 계산하였는데, SOFC의 수명이 5년, 스택 가격이 $$225kW^{-1}$일 때 LEC는 12.26 ¢ $kWh^{-1}$로 기존의 고정 발전과 동등한 수준으로 나타났다.

This study examined the seasonal variations of subtidal marine algal community structures along four sites in Jejudo Island, Korea, from February 2016 to November 2018. A total of 147 marine algal species were identified, including 13 green (8.84%), 26 brown (17.69%), and 108 red algae (73.47%). During the study period, the number of species was highest in Sagye (116 species) followed by numbers in Sinheung (98 species), Bukchon (90 species) and Sinchang (73 species). Ecklonia cava, Peyssonnelia caulifera, Synarthrophyton chejuense, Corallina aberrans and Corallina crassisima occurred at all study sites and in all seasons. The average annual biomass of marine algal flora was 746.29±88.85 g wet wt./m² and ranged from 652.25 g/m² at Sinheung to 979.91 g/m² at Sagye. The brown alga E. cava was the most dominant species, occupying 42.85% (319.80 g/m²) of the total seaweed biomass. Subdominant species were C. crassissima and Undaria pinnatifida, comprising 10.22% (76.29 g/m²) and 9.66% (72.13 g/m²), respectively. A similarity analysis showed that there were regional differences in the algal communities, with three distinct groups.
