Optimal criterion for the scale-up production of schizophyllan, a fungal polysaccharide secreted by Schizophyllum commune, was investigated. For the production of the polysaccharide in a 150-l bioreactor, the culture conditions optimized in a 15-l bioreactor were applied to a 150-l bioreactor with scale-up process, by changing impeller speed and airflow rate. The optimized impeller speed in the 15-l bioreactor was 50 rpm in a technical medium based on barley. For establishment of the scale-up process, 3 kinds of criteria were used while the gas throughput number was kept constant, as follows; constant volume-related power input, constant tip speed of stirrer, and constant Reynolds number. In the 150-l bioreactor, the highest values for the maximum specific growth rate (1.17/day) and productivity (0.63 g/L${\cdot}$day) were achieved in the culture condition from constant volumerelated power input criterion.

pH가 혐기성 수소 발효에 미치는 영향을 고찰하기 위해 배양기간 동안 pH를 $3\sim10$까지 일정하게 유지시킨 상태에서 수소생산 효율을 살펴보았다. 유입기질을 sucrose로 하여 생성된 가스는 이산화탄소와 수소였으며 메탄가스는 검출되지 않았다. 수정 Gompartz 방정식을 이용하여 수소가스 발생량$(P_h)$과 최대수소 생성율$(R_h)$을 회귀분석하였을 때 pH 5에서 수소가스 발생량$(P_h)$은 약 1182 mL이고 최대수소 생성율$(R_h)$은 112.46 mL/g dry wt biomass/hr이였다. 수소 전환율은 22.56%이였으며 butyrate/acetate 비가 pH 5에서는 1.63, pH 6에서는 0.38로 ratio값이 높은 pH 5에서 효율이 더 좋다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. Haldane equation을 이용하여 비수소생산율을 산정해 본 결과 최대 비수소생산율은 119.61 mL/g VSS/hr이였고, 최대 비수소생산율을 나타내는 pH는 5.5로 판명되었다.

사불화탄소($CF_4$)는 반도체 제조공정에서 에칭과 반응기 세척에서 사용되어온 가스이다. $CF_4$는 적외선을 강하게 흡수하고 대기 중 잔류시간이 길어서 지구온난화에 영향을 미치기 때문에 고효율의 분해가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 플라즈마와 워터젯을 결합하여 워터젯 글라이딩 아크 플라즈마 시스템을 개발하고, 이를 이용하여 $CF_4$를 고효율로 분해할 수 있도록 방전영역을 증가시키고 다량의 OH 라디칼을 생성시킬 수 있는 최적의 조업 조건을 결정하였다. 공정 실험 변수로는 워터젯 주입량, $CF_4$ 초기 농도, 전체 가스량과 주입에너지량(SEI : Specific energy input)을 선정하였다. 변수실험을 통하여 워터젯 주입량이 25.5 mL/min, $CF_4$ 초기 농도 2.2%, 전체 가스량 9.2 L/min, SEI 7.2 kJ/L일 때 $CF_4$ 분해율은 최고 97%까지 도달하였다.

Volatile organic compounds emitted to the atmosphere can cause adverse effects on human health and participate in photochemical smog formation reactions. The destruction of a series of VOCs has been carried out by non-thermal plasma in other researches. And the characteristic of non-thermal plasma was operated at atmospheric pressure and low temperature. A new type non-thermal plasma reactor was investigated combined Glidarc plasma with water jet in this research. Also, it was found that the water-jet had an significant effect on the toluene removal efficiency. But too much water content does not favor toluene decomposition by decreasing of reaction temperature. The input toluene concentration, gas flow rate, water flow rate and specific energy input were used as experiment variables. The toluene removal efficiency, energy efficiency and specific energy input were 75.3%, 146.6 g/kWh and $1.12kWh/m^3$ at a water flow rate of 100 mL/min.

This paper is investigated about the effect of vibration of the water surface for hydrogen gas generation by non-thermal plasma. The vibration of the water surface is more powerful with increasing applied voltage. In this experimental reactor which is made of multi-needle and plate, the maximum acquired hydrogen production rate is about 6.8[ml/sec]. Although the generation of hydrogen gas is increased with elevating time, it is saturated after specific time due to the volume of reactor and the saturation of taylor cone.

The activated carbon was produced from Sancheong bamboo by steam and carbon dioxide gas activation methods. The carbonization of raw material was conducted at 90$0^{\circ}C$ and gas activation reactions were conducted with respect to various conditions. -activation temperature 750-90$0^{\circ}C$, the flow rate of steam 0.5-2g-$H_2O$/g-char$.$hr, the flow rate of carbon dioxide 5-30$m\ell$-$CO_2$/g-char-min and activation time 1-5 hr. The prepared activated carbons were measured yield, the adsorption capacity of iodine and methylene blue, BET specific surface area and pore size distribution. The adsorption capacity of iodine (680.5-1526.1 mg/g) and methylene blue (18.3-221.5 mg/g) increased with creasing activation temperature and activation time. The adsorption capacity of iodine and methylene blue increased with the activation gas quantity in the range of 0.5-1.5g-$H_2O$/g-charㆍhr, 5-18.9$m\ell$-Co$_2$/g-charㆍmin. But those decreased over those range due to the pore shrinkage. The steam activation method was superior in efficiency to carbon dioxide activation method.

질소, 아르곤, 이산화탄소와 같은 불활성가스 및 이들의 혼합물을 소화약제로 하여 n-Heptane을 연료로한 cup-burner test 장치에서 불꽃소화농도와 연소시 배가스의 조성을 측정하였다. 이성분 불활성가스계 혼합소화약제의 소화농도는 혼합물의 구성비를 이용한 모델에 의해 잘 예측됨을 알 수 있었다. 불활성 가스계 혼합 소화약제에 의한 소화작용에 있어서 혼합가스의 평균비중이 클수록 소화 성능이 우수하였다. 또한 밀폐된 공간의 구조가 소화에 영향을 미칠 수 있음을 확인하였다. 연소시 배가스 중 이산화탄소 조성은 사용하는 소화약제의 양이 증가할수록 감소하였다. 일산화질소 발생은 소화약제의 질소 함량과는 상관이 없으며 공기유량을 크게 하여 불꽃을 크게 했을 때 검출되었다.

It is generally known that a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) consumes immense energy even if it can produce energy. With an aim to increase the energy independence rate of WWTP from 3.5% in 2010 to 50% in 2030, the Korean government has invested enormous research funds. In this study, cost-effective operating alternatives were investigated by analyzing the energy efficiency and economic feasibility for biogas and power generation using new and renewable energy. Based on the US EPA Energy Conservation Measures and Korea ESCO projects, energy production and independence rate were also analyzed. The main energy consumption equipment in WWTP is the blower for aeration, discharge pump for effluent, and pump for influent. Considering the processes of WWTP, the specific energy consumption rate of the process using media and MBR was the lowest (0.549 kWh/㎥) and the highest (1.427 kWh/㎥), respectively. Energy-saving by enhancing anaerobic digester efficiency was turned out to be efficient when in conjunction with stable wastewater treatment. The result of economic analysis (B/C ratio) was 2.5 for digestive gas power generation, 0.86 for small hydropower, 0.49 for solar energy, and 0.15 for wind energy, respectively. Furthermore, it was observed that the energy independence rate could be enhanced by installing energy production facilities such as solar and small hydropower and reducing energy consumption via the replacement of high-efficiency operating.

The viability of low-temperature sulfate reduction with hydrogen as electron donor was studied with a bench-scale gas-lift bioreactor (GLB) operated at $9^{\circ}C$. Prior to the GLB experiment, the temperature range of sulfate reduction of the inoculum was assayed. The results of the temperature gradient assay indicated that the inoculum was a psychrotolerant mesophilic enrichment culture that had an optimal temperature for sulfate reduction of $31^{\circ}C$, and minimum and maximum temperatures of $7^{\circ}C$ and $41^{\circ}C$, respectively. In the GLB experiment at $9^{\circ}C$, a sulfate reduction rate of 500-600 mg $l^{-1}d^{-1}$, corresponding to a specific activity of 173 mg ${SO_4}^{2-}g\;VSS^{-1}d^{-1}$, was obtained. The electron flow from the consumed $H_2$-gas to sulfate reduction varied between 27% and 52%, whereas the electron flow to acetate production decreased steadily from 15% to 5%. No methane was produced. Acetate was produced from $CO_2$ and $H_2$ by homoacetogenic bacteria. Acetate supported the growth of some heterotrophic sulfate-reducing bacteria. The sulfate reduction rate in the GLB was limited by the slow biomass growth rate at $9^{\circ}C$ and low biomass retention in the reactor. Nevertheless, this study demonstrated the potential sulfate reduction rate of psychrotolerant sulfate-reducing mesophiles at suboptimal temperature.

Aminoglycoside-3'-phosphotransferase(APH(3'))를 생산하는 균주인 E.coli ATCC 21990을 산업적으로 이용하기 위해서 자외선 조사 및 NTG를 처리하고 고농도의 kanamycin B에 내성을 갖는 변이주인 E.coli M1과 M2를 선별하였다. E.coli M1은 단위 균체당 효소 생산성은 높으나 생육속도가 낮아 실용적이질 못했고 주 질소원인 yeast extract를 사용했을때 E.coli M1보다 E.coli M2가 생육속도가 훨씬 빨랐으며 약 2배의 APH(3')을 얻을 수 있었고 산소 가스를 사용하였을 경우는 약 2.5배의 APH(3')을 얻었다.
