In this paper, an approach to extend the life of lead-acid batteries through the elimination of sulfation with "rest time" using the pulse current of a conventional DPV (Differential Pulse Voltammetry) method is discussed. A new rest time without "0" current in "saw-tooth" pattern pulses is proposed to overcome the "0" current (blackout period), which is a shortcoming of DPV. This will enable the proposed method to be used in the loaded state. In the proposed approach, ESSs (Energy Storage Systems) were discharged for 5 h twice per day for 6 months on weekdays. To observe the changes in the lifespan of the systems, for the same period, the changes in the impedances of lead-acid batteries which were being charged e without charging and discharging were measure and compared. This study is focused on determining the effectiveness of lead-acid batteries as ESSs.

EC-2B와 EC-2C 획분은 정향(Eugenia caryophyllata)의 알칼리 추출물로부터 에탄올 침전, cetavlon 처리 및 한외여과를 거쳐 분획하였다. EC-2B 획분은 APTT에서 항응고 활성을 가지는 반면, EC-2C 획분은 APTT와 TT 모두에서 항응고 활성을 가지고 있으며 EC-2B와 EC-2C에서 모두 혈소판 응집억제능을 관찰할 수 있었다. EC-2B와 EC-2C 획분의 경구투여에서 두 획분 모두 독성이 없었으며 EC-2B 획문은 1,000 mg/kg (mouse, intravenours)에서도 독성이 없었으나, EC-2C 획분은 LD50 322 mg/kg 정도의 독성을 가지고 있었다. 두 획분의 in vivo 성에서의 항응고 활성을 60% 생존율을 갖는 dose로 표시한 결과 EC-2B는 131 mg/kgdlsep 비해 EC-2C는 58 mg/kg로 활성의 차이가 in vitro에서 보다 크게 나타났다. 이 두획분을 sulfation시킨 후 활성의 변화를 ex vivo를 통해 확인한 결과 두 획분 모두 활성이 증가하였으며 특히 EC-2B 획분의 활성이 급격히 증가하였다.

Major parameters determining the extent of Ca utilization were investigated for their calcination/sulfation behavior of limestone in the AFBC(Atmospheric Fluidized Bed Combustion) environments. Three different particle sizes of Fredonia limestone were investigated in the lab-scale tubular reactor. The results of the calcination codnversion of limestone imply that thesd decomposition rate of CaCO3 into CaO is dependent on the amount of heat which limestone absorbed. Hg porosimeter measurement of calcined limestone illustrated that surface area and pore volume are increased with decreasing particle size. Raw Fredonia limestone and sequentially as well as simultaneously calcined/sulfated limestones were also examined using SEM. The SEM Studied showed that the surface of the calcined limestone particles is more diffusive nature than that of the parent calcite. However, the sulfur distribution pattern of simultaneously-treated particles and that of the se-quentially-treated one shows no difference.

Effects of multiple-cycle operation and $SO_2$ concentration on $CO_2$ capture characteristics of three limestones were investigated in a fluidized bed reactor. For each of these sorbents, the measured $CO_2$ capture capacity decreased as the number of cycles increased and as the $SO_2$ concentration increased. On the other hand, the $SO_2$ capture increased with the increased number of cycles and the $SO_2$ concentration. The total calcium utilization decreased as the number of cycles increased, but the effect of $SO_2$ concentrations on the total calcium utilization depended on the type of limestone. For Strassburg limestone, the total calcium utillization decreased with increasing $SO_2$ concentration. However, for Luscar and Danyang limestones, the total calcium utilization was almost independent of $SO_2$ concentration for the range investigated. The results showed that $SO_2$ in flue gas reduced the $CO_2$ capture capacity of limestone and that the sulfation pattern affected the $CO_2$ capture capacity.
