The hat excavated from the tomb of Hojeo-myon Wonsung-gun in Kangwon province was dry-cleaned and restored. The hat was made of wool felt and decorated with several strands of silk cord. It was very dirty and moth-eaten. After getting rid of the particle soils on a surface with painting brush, the hat was dry-cleaned using perchloroethylene applying the minimum force, and blotting paper was used for drying. During cleaning, it was supported by the stainless steel net. The weight loss was 7.94% after cleaning. The soils sticked on the hat was removed clearly. The texture of the hat became softer after cleaning. Color difference(∆E) was 2.57, which is a noticeable change. The color became clear and changed to the red and yellow range. After dry-cleaning, the hat was repaired. Dislocated silk cords were fixed to the right place by stitching with silk yarn. To keep the shape of the hat, it should be supported by a hat-shaped stiff net during exibition and storing.

To resolve shortcomings of high-rate anaerobic processes, such as high upward flow velocity, this study sought to improve the structure of the high-rate anaerobic reactor and evaluate its performance. The improved reactor was manufactured by adjusting the diameter and dividing the reactor into three parts. The evaluation of the structurally improved reactor revealed that the reactor could stabilize a single circuit, and prevent the accumulation of solid matter and leakage of microbes, thereby stabilize the microbes. In the process of anaerobic digestion, an increase in pH and alkalinity within the reactor was presumably attributed to bicarbonate created in the process of organic matter decomposition and due to the re-dissolution of some biogas. To maintain a high rate of organic matter removal, the reactor should be operated with more than 9 hrs of HRT and an organic matter load of under $10.kgTCODcr/m^3{\cdot}d$. The methane gas generated in the anaerobic digestion process showed a high content of 65~83 % at the organic matter load of over $7.7kgTCODcr/m^3{\cdot}d$. per removal of CODcr. The methane quantity was generated at $0.10{\sim}0.23m^3CH_4/kgCOD_{rem}$, showing that it was smaller than the theoretical methane generation amount (0.35) in the STP state. In the latter part of high-rate anaerobic process, an advanced treatment process was required to remove nitrogen.

The demand of L-arabinose has been increased recently because of its advantages including clinical effect. L-arabinose can be produced from dilute acid hydrolysis of agricultural wastes. In this study, optimum conditions of L-arabinose production using dilute acid hydrolysis of agricultural wastes and nutshells were determined. Among the tested various agricultural wastes and nutshells, corn fiber was selected as the best raw material for the production of arabinose. The highest arabinose production was achieved an acid hydrolysis of corn fiber for 1 h at 130$^{\circ}C$ with 0.4% sulfuric acid. Above optimal conditions, it was obtained 20.1 g/L glucose, 10.1 g/L xylose, 7.8 g/L arabinose and 1.8 g/L galactose from 90 g/L of corn fiber. For the purification of arabinose, it was carried out to remove all of sugars except arabinose by the Candida tropicalis cultivation of acid hydrolyzate and an organic contaminants such as pigments by the active carbon treatment of fermentation broth. Moreover, experiments were carried out to eliminate an ions by exchange chromatography. Finally, we obtained 3.1 g of partially purified L-arabinose powder with about 40% yield by evaporation and vacuum drying.

Double-layered polysulfone composite films, containing cerium activated yttrium silicate (CAYS) as a flour, were prepared from double casting of two polymeric solutions, and their morphology and physical strength were superior to those of single-layered composites. The prepared polymeric films consist of a dense bottom layer and a CAYS-holding top layer. The former is made of coagulating the polysulfone and methylene chloride binary solution and works as a supporter to improve the composite's physical strength, while the latter holding the inorganic fluor plays a role as an active site to detect the radioactive contamination. The prepared films revealed two distinguished, but tightly attached, double layers, their attachment being identified by morphology of the interface between two layers. As prepared by water immersion coagulation, the films have highly developed macropores, compared with a dense structure in the film prepared by evaporation. In the radionuclide detection test of the CAYS-impregnated composites, the films have reliable detection capacity at a radionuclide spotting test. The double-layered composites with the dense support layer show a better stability in holding the radionuclides spotted on the surface as well as an improvement in physical strength, compared with the single-layer composites having shortcomings such as being too porous or being brittle.

Approximately each 5 kg dried Paulownia coreana leaves, seeds, outer barks, inner barks and wood were ground, extracted with acetone-$H_2O$ (7:3. v/v). concentrated under reduced pressure and successively fractionated using n-hexane. $CH_2Cl_2$, EtOAc and $H_2O$ on a separation funnel. Each fraction was then freeze dried and weighed. The extraction yield of each sample was investigated and the yield of inner barks was the highest, while the wood was the lowest. Antioxidative activities of crude extracts, precipitates and partitioned fractions were evaluated by DPPH radical scavenging method. The results indicated that all EtOAc soluble fractions, including some of $H_2O$ soluble fractions, showed significantly high antioxidative potential compared with ${\alpha}$-tocopherol and BHT used as controls.

Unlike the conventional slurry type wire sawing, the diamond wire sawing method adopts diamond plated wire as sawing media instead of slurry consisted of both silicon carbide and oil. Wafering with diamond plated wire leaves solid element of the sludge mostly made up of silicon, and it is not difficult to recover 95% or more of silicon by a simple separation process of oil from the sludge. In this study, silicon was recovered from the sludge by drying process and organic and metal impurities were removed by sintering process. As result 3N grade silica was obtained successfully by thermal processing utilized the fact that the recovered silicon readily combines with oxygen due to fine particle size.

The photocatalytic degradation of livestock wastewater has been investigated over $TiO_2$ photocatalysts irradiated with a ultraviolet (UV) light. The effect of operational parameters, i.e., distance, reaction area, concentration of suspended solids(SS), and column diameter on the degradation of livestock wastewater has been performed in lab-scale. The optimal conditions for livestock wastewater were determined: distance was 3 cm (less than 7 cm), reaction area was $3.6\;m^2$, SS concentration was 40 mg/L (less than 300 mg/L) and column diameter was 5 mm (less than 10 mm). Under the optimal conditions, COD, color and coliform removal efficiencies were approximately 49%, 53% and 100%, respectively. Non-biodegradable COD removal efficiency increased with 57% using by photocatalysis process. Therefore, it is shown that photocatalysis has an effect on degradation of non-biodegradable organic matter.

농산 부산물인 볏짚을 이용하여 수송연료인 휘발유를 대체할 수 있는 바이오에탄올을 생산하기 위한 전단계인 전처리와 당화에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 볏짚은 농산 부산물 중에서 비교적 발생량이 많으며, 목질계 바이오매스에 비해 소프트하기 때문에 전처리가 용이하다는 장점이 있다. 전처리 방법으로는 여러 가지가 있으나, 본 연구에서는 증기폭쇄에 의한 전처리 방법을 채택하였다. 당화실험은 생물학적 방법인 효소당화를 하였다. 전처리 실험결과 온도가 낮고 처리 시간이 짧을수록 고형물 및 삼성분에 대한 수율이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 삼성분 중의 Glucan 수율은 $180^{\circ}C$ 실험에서 68-71%를 보였으며, $200^{\circ}C$ 실험에서는 59-64%를 보였다. Xylan은 거의 대부분이 소실되어 Xylan을 회수하는 전처리로써는 적합하지 않은 방법으로 나타났다. 반면 Lignin은 거의 제거가 되지 않았다. 당화 실험결과 $180^{\circ}C$에서 전처리한 폭쇄재는 당화 수율이 50%에도 미치지 못하였으나, $200^{\circ}C$에서 전처리한 폭쇄재는 70% 내외를 보여 주었다. 특히 분쇄 세척 멸균한 효소당화 수율은 90%가 넘는 높은 수율을 보였다. 전처리 수율과 당화수율을 종합하여 수율을 분석한 결과 $200^{\circ}C$ 전처리 실험조건에서 효소당화시 미처리 시료와 분쇄 세척 시료보다 멸균까지 실시한 조건에서 Glucan의 종합수율이 55% 내외로 월등히 높은 것으로 나타났다. 증기폭쇄에 의한 볏짚의 전처리는 Glucan의 수율이 낮아 손실이 많은 것으로 나타났으며, 이를 보완할 수 있는 전처리 조건 혹은 다른 전처리 방안이 요구된다.

Capacitive deionization(CDI) has many advantages over other desalination technologies due to its low energy consumption, less environmental pollution and relative low fouling potential. The objectives of this study are evaluate the performance of CDI which can be used for dissolved salts removal from sewage. To identify ion selectivity of nitrate and phosphate in multiionic solutions and adsorption/desorption performance related to applied potential, a series of laboratory scale experiments were conducted using a CDI unit cell with activated carbon electrodes. The CDI process was able to achieve more than 75 % TDS and $NO_3{^-}$, $NH_4{^+}$ removals, while phosphate removal was 60.8 % and is inversely related in initial TDS and $HCO_3{^-}$ concentration. In continuous operation, increasing the inner cell pressure and reduction of TDS removal ability were investigated which are caused by inorganic scaling and biofouling. However a relative mild cleaning solution(5 % of citric acid for calcium scaling and 500 mg/L of NaOCl for organic fouling) restored the electrochemical adsorption capacity of the CDI unit to its initial level.
