In this study, we fabricated poly (lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) scaffold modified with small intestinal submucosa (SIS) as a drug delivery matrix of bioactive molecules. SIS derived from the submucosa layer of porcine intestine has been widely used as biomaterial because of low immune response. PLGA scaffold was prepared by the method of solvent casting/salt leaching. Novel composite scaffolds of SIS/PLGA were manufactured by simple immersion method of PLGA scaffold in SIS solution under vacuum. SEM observation shows that PLGA and SIS/PLGA scaffolds have interconnective and open pores. Especially, SIS/PLGA scaffold showed that micro-sponge of SIS with interconnected pore structures were formed in the pores of PLGA scaffold. In order to assay release profile of proteins, we manufactured FITC conjugated BSA loaded PLGA and SIS/PLGA scaffold. And the release amount was identified by fluorescence intensity using the fluorescence spectrophotometer. The initial burst of BSA containing SIS/PLGA scaffolds was lower than that of PLGA scaffolds resulting in constant release. And release of BSA in SIS/PLGA scaffold was fast and incremental because of the increased content of BSA. In conclusion, we confirmed that penetrated SIS solution prevented the initial burst of BSA and PLGA modified with SIS scaffold is useful as protein carriers with controlled release pattern.

In this study, the correlation between operating stages of waste air-treating system composed of two alternatively-operating UV/photocatalytic reactors, and the deactivation of photocatalyst used in each operating stage, was investigated by instrumental analysis thereon. The repeated deactivation and subsequent re-generation of photocatalyst used in the waste air treating system of previous investigation performed by Lee and Lim (Korean Chem. Eng. Research, 59(4), 574-583(2021)), were characterized on virgin photocatalyst-carrying porous SiO₂ media (A4), used photocatalyst-carrying porous SiO₂ media (A1, A2 and A3) collected from the corresponding photocatalytic reactor upon 1^st, 2^nd, and 3^rd run, respectively, regenerated photocatalyst-carrying porous SiO₂ media upon 1 time-run (AD1) and 3 times regenerated photocatalyst-carrying porous SiO₂ media upon 3 time-runs (AD3) by instrumental analysis including BET analysis, SEM, XPS, SEM-EDS and FT-IR. As a result, the proper regeneration-temperature for deactivated photocatalyst to be regenerated several times (more than 3 times), was suggested below 200 ℃. Such temperature of deactivated photocatalyst-regeneration was almost consistent to the one, according to BET analysis, at which tiny nano-pores blocked by adsorbed ethanol-oxidative and degraded intermediates (AEODI), were regenerated to be reopened through almost complete mineralization of AEODI. In particular, the results of XPS analysis indicated an incurrence of insignificant deactivation of photocatalysis upon 1^st run of UV/photocatalytic reactor (A or C) of the previous investigation. In addition, the results of XPS analysis were consistent with the experimental results of the previous investigation in that 1) deactivation of photocatalyst incurred during 2^nd run of the UV/photocatalytic reactor (A or C) resulted in decreased removal efficiency, by ca. 5% and 5%, of ethanol and hydrogen sulfide, respectively, compared with its 1^st run; 2) there was insignificant difference between the removal efficiencies of its 2^nd run and 3^rd run. Furthermore, the removal efficiencies of ethanol and hydrogen sulfide for hypothetical 4^th run of photocatalytic reactor in the previous investigation, using AD3, were expected to decrease, compared with its 3^rd run, by much more than those for 2^nd run in the previous investigation did, compared with its 1^st run.

The microbial immobilization media with curdlan and activated carbon which has great immobilization capacity has been developed. Characteristics of porosity and mechanical strength of this support media are dependent on manufacturing method. The support media showed the best cell immobilization performance when the ratio of curdlan and activated carbon was 30 g/L to 6 g/L in this study. The immobilization of iron-oxidizing bacteria on the supporting particles was photographed with a scanning electron microscope. Since cell concentration on the surface of supporting particle increased with the reaction time, the iron oxidation rate also increased.

A carriersupported mycelial growth of Sreptomyces erythreus was applied to erythromycin fermentation sistem using celite as a support material. Hyphal growth through the pore matrices of the materials showed anchorages and provided a stable biofilm growth. When the phospate concentration was limited to 0.8g corn steep liquor/L(corresponding to 40mg KH2PO4/L), the specific production rate of erythromycin was increased from 557$\mu$g/g-cell.hr under unlimited condition to 2, 898 $\mu$g/g-cell.hr. A fluidized-bed bioreactor was operated for erythromycin production by a repeated fed-batch mode. The control of free mycelial concentration and the extension of production phase were considered important to maintain the reactor productivity at a desired level. The erythromycin production under phosphate-limited condition could be maintained for at least 600hrs.

삼원 촉매는 주로 코제라이트 세라믹으로 제작되는 다공성 부품이다. 그러나 코제라이트 세라믹은 열적충격온도가 낮아 엔진의 혼합기가 농후한 경우 삼원촉매의 열적 내구성이 급격히 떨어져 내구 수명을 제대로 만족시키지 못하는 차량이 급격히 증가하고 있다. 따라서 본 논문은 유한요소법으로 구한 SiC 세라믹 재료의 등가 물성치를 기초로 SiC 세라믹 촉매 담체의 기계적 물성치를 유한요소해석용시험편으로 구한 뒤 SiC 세라믹 촉매담체가 실차에 설치될 경우의 열피로 성능에 대하여 평가하였다.

최근 들어 분리공정의 발달과 산업의 고도화에 따라 기체 및 액체분리의 중요성이 강조되면서 열적, 화학적 그리고 기계적 안정성이 좋으며, 수명이 길고, 세척과 재생이 용이하며, 미생물에 의한 손상이 없는 무기막에 대한 연구가 진행중이다. 무기막은 기공의 크기에 따라 크게 다공성 막과 비다공성 막의 두 종류로 구분된다. 비다공성 금속막은 특정 기체에만 투과성을 가지며, 이때 기체는 용해-확산(solution-diffusion)기구에 의해 금속막을 투과하므로 특정기체에 대한 선택도는 매우 크나 투과도가 매우 작고 가격이 비싼 단점을 가지고 있다. 다공성 막은 기체 투과율이 큰 반면 기체 선택도가 작은 단점을 가지고 있다. 현재 기체분리에 사용되고 있는 무기막은 기공크기가 40${\AA}$ 이상으로 기체 분리가 Kundsen diffusion에 의해 이루어지므로, 기체 투과도는 큰 반면에 기체에 대한 선택도는 그리 크지 않다. 따라서 최근 들어서는 다공성 담체에 기공이 작은 ($d_{pore}<20{\AA}$)박막을 담지시켜 기체의 분리 선택도를 향상시키기 위한 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 유기금속 화학증착법(metal-organic chemical vapor deposition:MOCVD)을 이용하여 수소 선택성을 가지는 $SiO_2/Al_2O_3$ 복합막을 비율별로 제조하여 증착속도를 알아보고, 열과 수분에 노출시켜 박막의 기체투과도 변화를 살펴보았다.

A novel ice particle leaching method for fabrication of porous and biodegradable PLGA scaffold has been proposed for the application to tissue engineering. After uniform mixing of poly(L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) and bovine serum albumin-fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC-BSA), the FITC-BSA loaded scaffold was fabricated by adding various ratio of ice particle. The release profiles of FITC-BSA were examined using pH 7.4 PBS for 28 days at $37^{circ}$. The release amount was determined by fluorescence intensity by using the fluorescence spectrophotometer and the morphological change of the scaffolds was observed by scanning electron microscope. The release initial burst of BSA containing scaffolds was lower than that of simple dipping scaffolds resulting in constant release aspect. Although the BSA concentration increased. the initial burst was not increased. As a result of this study, it can be suggested that ice particle leaching method for the tissue engineered scaffold miff be very useful and it is possible to impregnate with water soluble factors like cytokine. We suggest that ice particle leaching method may be useful to tissue engineered organ regeneration.

Methyl fructoside was synthesized from sucrose and methanol using an immobilized invertase. The enzyme was covalently bound by glutaraldehyde on porous silica coated with polyethyleneimine to give loading capacity of 120mg of invertase per one gram of dry porous silica and effective activity of 100U per one milligram of bound invertase. Polyethyleneimine coating imparted a hydrophillic character, good activity retention and high loading capacity to the surface of porous silica as well as hydrophillic microenviroment in the vicinity of bound invertase. The immobilized enzyme was formed into an alginate-enclosed silica bead to have enough activity for methyl fructoside synthesis from aqueous methanol-sucrose solution. Using the alginate-enclosed biocatalyst the yield of methyl fructoside was obtained as high as 55.9% from aqueous 30% (v/v) methanol and 0.291mo1/l sucrose with 2U/ml activity at $25^{\circ}C$, pH 4.8.
