The crisis of energy gives rise to the growing concerns over continuing uncertainty in the energy market. Under these circumstances, there are also increasing interests on coals. In particular, Low Rank Coal (LRC) is receiving gradual attentions from green industry. But due to is high moisture content range from 30 - 60%, drying process has to be preceded before being utilized as power plant. In this study drying kinetics of LRC is induced by using a fixed-bed reactor. The drying kinetics was evaluated in from of the particle size, the inlet gas temperature, the drying time, the gas velocity, and the LID ratio. The consideration of the reynold's number was taken for correction of gas velocity, particle size and LID was taken for correction of reactor diameter, packing height of coal. As being seen as characteristic of drying coal, it can be found that fixed-bed reactor can contributed to active drying of free water. In this sense, it could be considered that phase boundary reaction is appropriate mechanism.

$\beta$-glucosidase derived from Aspergillus niger was immobilized by (1) covalent linkage on chitin and chitosan with glutaraldehyde, (2) adsorption on DEAE-cellulose and Amberite IRA93 after succinylation, and (3) entrapment on alginate and polyacrylamide gels with various cross linking agents. The retention yield of $\beta$-glucosidase immobilized on chitosan was 31.5% and operational stability was 69% after continuous operation at column reactor(5$0^{\circ}C$ at pH 4.8) for 15 days. The retention yield and operational stability were 24.7% and 60% respectively, in adsorption on Amberite IRA 93. On the other hand, the entrapment method by alginate and polyacrylamide gel was identified to be not appropriate due to the continuous elution of inlmobilized $\beta$-glucosidase. Optimum conditions for the immobilization on chitosan were also studied with optimum pH of 4.8 and glutaraldehyde concentration of 0.4%(w/v). The properties and stability of immobilized $\beta$-glucosidase are also investigted. The conversion yield of cellobiose to glucose was also analyzed using the column type enzyme reactor to evaluate the effectiveness of immobilized enzyme.

We study on and simulate the behavior of one-step fixed bed reactor which synthesize DiMethylEther(DME) from Methane. At last, we know that reaction is decreased in case of excess and no cooling because the temperature of reactor is decreased or increased seriously. Also, we study on optimizing the reactor so that we know the optimized operation condition according to cooling effect, space velocity of reactant and temperature of reactant, etc.

To achieve higher ethanol productivity in the fermentation system, a continuous ethanol production has been investigated with the air-supplement in a packed-bed immobilized cell reactor system. Yeast cells were immobilized using sodium alginate gel. The results showed that, when the feed medium was saturated with oxygen through aeration into the medium reservoir, the maximum ethanol productivity of the reactor was enhanced from 35 g/$\ell$-gel-hr to 55 g/$\ell$-gel-hr at the residence time of 10-20 min. and the residence time for the 90% conversion of substrate to ethanol was reduced from 40 min. to 25 min. In case of 18% glucose medium, the maximum productivity was increased from 35 g/$\ell$-gel-hr to 45 g/$\ell$-gel-hr and time required for 90% conversion was from 90 min to 70 min. This behavior of air-supplemented reactor system might be due to the fact that both growth and viable fraction of yeast within the Eel were increased during reactor operation.

In order to produce transglucosylated steviosides continuously, some types of bioreactors were investigated with cyclodextrin glucanotransferase immobilized on a high porous anion exchange resin, Diaion HPA75. Among the bioreactors, the packed-bed reactor (PBR) showed the highest specific productivity. The effect of linear velocity in a PBR on the stevioside conversion was not significant in the range of $10{\sim}60\;cm/hr$ at the same space velocity of $1.2\;hr^(-1)$. When the space velocity of bioreactor was varied from 0.2 to $1.1\;hr^{-1}$, the optimal velocity of substrate solution was determined as $0.7\;hr^(-1)$. The stevioside conversion of more than 70% was maintained during 20 days in the continuous operation, if about 20% of immobilized enzyme was replaced in the top of reactor after two weeks operation as the one of the control methods in bioreactor. The specific production, which refers to as the amount of commercially valuable transglucosylated steviosides produced by a unit amount of immobilized cyclodextrin glucanotransferase, was found to be ca. 150g product/g immobilized enzyme.

The characteristics of Erwinia rhapontici cells with $\alpha$-glucosyltransferase activity immobilized in Ca-alginate beads and the performance of two different types of reactor-stirred tank reactor(STR) and packed bed reactor(PBR)-charged with these immobilized cells to produce palatinose from sucrose were investigated. The optimal pH(5.5-6.0) and temperature($30-35^{\circ}C$) showed no appreciable difference between free and immobilized cells. The apparent Km value of the immobilized cells(0.28M) was approximately two times higher than that of free cells(0.13M) at $30^{\circ}C$. The half life of the immobilized cells was found to be 380 h with STR while much greater operational stability was achieved with PBR. Continuous operation of PBR at a space velocity of $0.2h^{-1}$ for 30 days showed only 5% loss of initial activity.

This study was accomplished using Anaerobic/Anoxic/Oxic upflow packed-bed column reactors with fixed media and Loop Reactor with fluidized media instead of Oxic reactor. The objectives of this study was to investigate the characteristics of organics, nitrogen and phosphorus removal from sewage with the HRT. The average removal efficiencies of $BOD_5$ and SS increase as increasing the hydraulic retention time (HRT) until 16 h of the HRT, and they were constant over 16 h of the HRT. The removal efficiency of $BOD_5$ in case of packed-bed reactor and Loop Reactor was about 86.6% and 90.9% respectively at 16 h of the HRT. The removal efficiency of SS in packed-bed reactor and Loop Reactor was about 78.0% and 88.2% respectively at 16 h of the HRT. The average removal efficiencies of $COD_{Cr}$ and $COD_{Mn}$ showed similar trends as those of $BOD_5$ and SS. At the HRT of 16 h, the removal efficiency of $COD_{Cr}$ in case of packed-bed reactor and Loop Reactor was 63.5%, 75.2% and that of $COD_{Mn}$ was 60.7%, 73.6% respectively. The average removal efficiencies of T-N and T-P increase as increasing the HRT. The removal efficiencies of T-N and T-P in Loop Reactor were 33.6% and 54.5% respectively at 16 h of the HRT and T-N and T-P were better removed in Loop Reactor. From this result, it was found that the performance of Loop Reactor was much higher than the performance of packed-bed reactor and the optimum HRT was 16 h.

This research discussed about the substrate transport phenomena in anaerobic biofilm. Three anaerobic fixed biofilm reactors were filled with the sludge of anaerobic digestor from Suyoung wastewater treatment plant. After 15 days of biofilm formation periods, suspended solids within the reactors were removed, and each fixed biofilm reactor was supplied with synthetic wastewater of different concentration of 8.00 mgTOC/L, 9.76 mgTOC/L and 18.97 mgTOC/L, respectively. The experimental results in conjunction with substrate transfer phenomena indicated that data - thickness, substrate removal rate. At the low influent substrate concentration(reactor 1 : 8.00 mgTOC/L, reactor 2 : 9.76 mgTOC/L), the rate of substrate utilization($k_v$), effective diffusivity($D_{eff}$) of substrate in biofilm were similar. While $k_v$ and $D_{eff}$ of the high influent substrate concentration(reactor 3 : 18.97 mgTOC/L) were higher than data in the reactors of the low influent substrate concentration.

Three immobilization techniques and free cell system were tested to determine the most effective technique for the treatment of pulp waste effluent. The tests were conducted using Phanerochaete chrysosporium as a biocatalyst in a process designed to treat pulp waste effluent. The results show that Ca-alginate gel was the best immobilization material. The chosen material improved the stability and increased the removal efficiency of the system. The experiment using the chosen material was mom- bored for 400 hours with no significant changes in the state of the fungus. Common problems with other immobilization materials and free cell system were oxygen transfer resistance caused by air channelling and clogging in the bioreactor.
