In order to effectively isolate the marine wastes with an effluent standard, the pretreatment process is required to isolate solid materials from the liquid-solid mixed wastes. The more effective the pretreatment becomes, the more processing capacity of posttreatment will be improved and process facilities will be downsized. In this paper, we suggested the vibrating reverse-slant screen, investigated the optimal vibration frequency and vibrator installation angle for the separation of the liquid solid mixed wastes. Several experiments for separation efficiency were conducted under the condition of various vibration frequency($35{\sim}60Hz$, 5Hz interval) and vibrator angle($0^{\circ}$, $30^{\circ}$, $45^{\circ}$, $90^{\circ}$) considering the crack of screen. The screen inclination angle is set up the gradient as $3^{\circ}{\sim}5^{\circ}$ through the preliminary experiments. Also, we made two types of screen(respectively rectangle and square screen). The separation device has shown the optimum efficiency at vibrator angle $0^{\circ}$ and vibration frequency 60Hz, and has no relation with the shape of screen. And the proposed technology is verified by comparing with quantity of suspended solids before and after filtration.

일반적으로 에어로졸 상의 고체입자에 대한 분리기술은 크게 전기집진기술과 여과집진기술, 습식기술 등으로 나눌 수 있다. 최근 연료의 탈황으로 인해 배출되는 먼지의 비저항성이 높아져 전기집진기술의 효율이 크게 떨어져 여과집진기술로 조금씩 대체되어가고 있다. 그러나 여과집진기술의 경우, Flow Gas 포집기작의 영향이 지배적이지 못한 l㎛ 미만의 입자들에 대한 제어가 효과적이지 못한 단점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 1㎛ 미만의 입자들에 대해 정전기력을 부여해서 전기적응집에 의한 입자성장을 유도하여 여과집진시에 필터 표면에 Dendrites Structure를 형성하게끔 유도하여 AP 증가율을 낮추고자 한다. 이에 따른 직접적인 효과는 탈진회수의 감소로 탈진시 소요되는 동력비의 감소와 탈진시 마모나 파손되는 여과포의 수명연장으로 실제 산업공정에 적용시 운전유지비의 감소효과를 꾀할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Domestic gold mine tailings, generally, contain a lot of non-metallic silica and clay minerals. These minerals can be separated from the tailings by various physical separation methods and used as raw materials for cements and ceramic products. In these physical separation procedures, metallic complex sulfides, in which Au and metallic constituents such as Pb, As and Fe were concentrated, were obtained as a by-product. These metallic constituents should be removed or separated from the by-product to extract Au efficiently. In this work, removal and separation processes of Pb, As, and Fe from the by-product were investigated. Pb was removed to under 3% by using alkaline oxidative leaching at the leaching condition of $120^{\circ}C$, 2M NaOH, 100psi $Po_2$, 250r.p.m., 4 wt.% solid and 30 min. leaching time. The leached residue was roasted and separated magnetically to obtain a non-magnetic product contained <0.2% As, <3% Fe and high concentrated Au more than 8,000 ppm.

Esterification of free fatty acid with methanol to biodiesel was investigated in a batch reactor using various solid acid catalysts, such as polymer cation-exchanged resins with sulfuric acid functional group(Amberlyst-15, Dowex 50Wx8), acidic ionic liquids (ILs)-modified silica gels respectively with $-SO_3H$ and $-SO_2Cl$ functional group ($SiO_2-[ASBI][HSO_4]$, $SiO_2-[ASCBI][HSO_4]$) and grafted silica gels respectively with $-SO_3H$ and $-SO_2Cl$ functional group ($SiO_2-R-SO_3H$, $SiO_2-R-SO_2Cl$). The effects of reaction time, temperature, reactant concentration(molar ratio of methanol to oleic acid), and catalyst amount were studied. Allylimidazolium-based ILs on modified silica gels were superior to other tested solid acid catalysts. Especially, the performance of $SiO_2-[ASBI][HSO_4]$ (immobilized by grafting of 3-allyl-1-(4-sulfobutyl)imidazolium hydrogen sulfate on silica gel) was better than that of a widely known Amberlyst-15 catalyst at the same reaction conditions. A high conversion yield of 96% was achieved in the esterification reaction of the simulated cooking oil at 353 K for 2 h. The high catalytic activity of $SiO_2-[ASBI][HSO_4]$ was attributed to the presence of strong Brønsted acid sites from the immobilized functional groups. The catalyst was recovered and the biodiesel product was separated by simple processes such as decantation and filtration.

Layer crystallization process was tested for the separation(or concentration) of cesium and strontium fission products in a LiCl waste salt generated from an electrolytic reduction process of a spent oxide fuel. In a crystallization process, impurities (CsCl and $SrCl_2$) are concentrated in a small fraction of the LiCl salt by the solubility difference between the melt phase and the crystal phase. Based on the phase diagram of LiCl-CsCl-$SrCl_2$ system, the separation possibility by using crystallization was determined and the molten salt temperature profile during layer crystallization operation was predicted by using mathematical calculation. In the layer crystallization process, the crystal growth rate strongly affects the crystal structure and therefore the separation efficiency. In the conditions of about 20-25 l/min cooling air flow rate and less than 0.2g/min/$cm^2$ crystal flux, the separation efficiency of both CsCl and $SrCl_2$ showed about 90% by the layer crystallization process, assuming a LiCl salt reuse rate of 90wt%.

재생 가능한 자원인 동식물성 기름을 원료로 제조되는 수송용 연료 바이오디젤은 낮은 대기오염물질 배출과 $CO_2$ Neutral 특성으로 환경친화적인 연료로 인정을 받으며 전세계적으로 그 생산량이 급격히 증가하고 있다. 대부분의 상용화 공정은 염기촉매를 이용한 전이에스테르화 반응에 근거하고 있으며 높은 생산성을 위해 연속 공정을 채택하고 있다. 원료유 중의 유리지방산(free fatty acid, FFA)은 염기 촉매와 반응하여 지방산염(Soap)과 수분을 생성하며 반응촉매의 투입양을 증가시카고 반응 후에 글리세롤과 지방산 메틸에스테르와의 분리를 어렵게 만든다. 높은 수율과 후속공정의 부하를 줄이기 위해서는 식물성 원료유 중의 FFA는 고체 산촉매 하에서 메탄올과 에스테르화 반응시켜 전환 제거되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 고체산 촉매인 Amberlyst-15을 충전한 4단 PBR(Packed Bed Reactor, 충전율 60%(v/v))에서 반응시간과 반응온도에 따른 대두원유의 전처리 효율을 조사하였으며 최적 전처리 조건을 도출하였다. 최적 전처리 조건에서 대두원유는 초기 산가 1.6에서 0.4-0.6으로 연속 전처리할 수 있었다. 본 연구에서는 연속 흐름 반응기인 PFR(Plug Flow Reactor)와 4단 CSTR(Continuous Stirred Tank Reactor)에서 균질계 촉매인 KOH 존재하에 대두유와 메탄올과의 전이에스테르화 반응 특성을 조사하였으며 각 연속 반응시스템에서 최적 운전 조건을 도출하였다. PFR 반응기에서 반응온도, 반응시간, 반응물 흐름방향, static mixer(SM) 개수에 따른 반응특성을 조사한 결과, PFR에서의 최적 반응조건은 하향류 흐름 방향과 3개의 SM를 설치한 조건에서 반응시간 5.8분, 반응온도 90$^{\cdot}C$, 메탄올:오일 몰비 9:1, KOH 농도 0.8%로 도출되었다. CSTR 반응기에서는 반응온도와 체류시간에 따른 반응특성을 조사하였으며 최적반응 조건으로 반응온도 80$^{\cdot}C$, 메탄올/오일 몰비 9:1, KOH 농도 0.8%, 체류시간 18.4분, 교반속도 250rpm로 조사되었다.

Six lumbrokinase (LK) fractions from Lumbricus rubellus lysates were purified by a series of column chromatographies. The molecular weights of the six LK fractions appeared to range from 24.6 to 33.1 kDa. In the experimental model of rat venous thrombosis, the thrombus weight and PAI activity decreased significantly when the LK was administered orally. However, the activities of APTT, PT and plasmin showed a significant increase. The aggregation of rat platelets pretreated with various LK doses was inhibited by thrombin, and the MDA generation decreased. The rat thoracic aorta and mesentric arteries contracted with phenylephrine relaxed due to the treatment of the LK fractions. These results suggest that the fibrinolytic effects of LK were mediated not only by proteolytic activity, but also by the inhibition of platelet agregation and the relaxation of blood vessels. It is concluded that the LK may be useful as a hemolytic agent for treatment of fibrin clot.

The soluble paclitaxel was found in the supernatant of the plant cell cultures of Taxus chinensis, The percentage of soluble paclitaxel depends on paclitaxel concentration in bioreactor. As paclitaxel concentration decreases the percentage of soulbe paclitaxel increases. it is therefore important to develop a new process for the recovery of soluble paclitaxel. The use of hydrophobic resin HP20 gives nearly perfect recovery of paclitaxel in supernatant. The resin was more effective in treatment of th cell and debris free filtrate probably because of the reduced solids content In this case 3 g.l resin and 1 day reaction were enough for recovery the soluble paclitaxel in medium.

Mineralogy, beneficiation, and processes of titanium ores are reviewed from petrographic viewpoints. The most important titanium minerals are ilmenite ($FeTiO_3$) and rutile ($TiO_2$). Ilmenite will play major role :for raw material, because rutile are rapidly diminishing. Thus, there is a need to develope a successful process for producing high grade Ti02 from ilmenite. Commercial, as well as R and D processes to treat more abundant ilmenite ores fall in three general classess: 1. Iron in ilmenite is partially or completely reduced and separated either physically or chemically. 2. Iron is reduced to ferrous state and chemically leached away from the titanium. 3. Ore is treated to make chlorides either selectively or with subsequent separation and purification of $TiC_4$. Routes and efficiencies of these process technologies are primarily influenced by the particular ore deposit to be mined and secondly by environmental considerations. One deposit parameters which influence ilmenite process technologies are: 1. Complexity of microtextures of ilmenite intergrown with Fe-oxide minerals. 2. Composition of concentrates; ilmenites contain minor amounts of substituted Mg, Mn, and V. These elements plus iron and gangue minerals can cause difficulties to complete reactions, substantial acid consumption, difficulties of removing waste solids, and waste disposal problems. Major contributions to be made by petrologists for process optimization are: characterization and interpretation of compositional and physical changes of raw materials and solids derived from process streams. These informations can play significant role in selecting and improving process steps for titania production.

In this study, we reported a solid-state supercapacitor consisting of titanium nitride (TiN) nanofiber and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT-PSS) conducting polymer electrode and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)-based polymer electrolyte membrane. The TiN nanofiber was selected as electrode materials due to high electron conductivity and 2-dimensional structure which is beneficial for scaffold effect. PEDOT-PSS is suitable for organic/inorganic composites due to good redox reaction with hydrogen ions in electrolyte and good dispersion in solution. By synergetic effect of TiN nanofiber and PEDOT-PSS, the PEDOT-PSS/TiN electrode showed higher surface area than the flat Ti foil substrate. The PVA-based polymer electrolyte membrane could prevent leakage and explosion problem of conventional liquid electrolyte and possess high specific capacitance due to the fast ion diffusion of small $H^+$ ions. The specific capacitance of PEDOT-PSS/TiN supercapacitor reached 75 F/g, which was much higher than that of conventional carbon-based supercapacitors.
