이 글은 독성 화학물질 테러 발생시 보다 신속하고 정확한 분석을 통해 대응능력을 향상시키고 대비태세를 더욱더 확고히 하기 위해 현재 널리 사용중인 기체분리 질량분석기(GC-MS : Gas Chromato-graph-Mass Spectrometer)와 액체분리 질량분석기의 최적의 분석기법, 미지시료 분석절차를 연구하였다. 독성 화학물질 공격에 대한 미국의 방어 대비책은 1991년 걸프전시 이라크의 화학무기 사용을 저지시키는데 일익을 담당하였다.

In the trend of world wide environment preservation, researchers tried to find new environment friendly propellant instead of highly toxic propellant, Hydrazine. Among the candidates, ionic liquid propellants have lower toxicity, higher density, and higher specific impulse than Hydrazine. These ionic liquid propellants have high combustion chamber temperature, so catalyst supports such as gamma alumina cannot withstand in that temperature. Therefore, a catalyst that showed stable characteristic in high temperature is needed. Barium dopped alumina can be changed to Hexaaluminate in high temperature, and its characteristic in high temperature is superior than gamma alumina. Barium dopped Alumina is wet impregnated with Platinum and heated up to $1300^{\circ}C$ and $1400^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours. Those catalysts were examined by XRD, SEM, EDS, BET, and Drop test.

Hydrazine which has been used as monopropellant shows high performance, but because of its high toxicity research for new green propellant that could replace hydrazine is going on. Ionic liquid propellant that is one of the green propellant has lower toxicity, higher specific impulse, and higher density than hydrazine. To design the thruster which use Hydroxylamine Nitrate (HAN), one of ionic liquid propellant, as a propellant, a quantity of catalyst for full decomposition of a propellant is needed. In this study, reference point for HAN thruster design could be suggested through a design of a small scale thruster which used HAN propellant, and propellant decomposition capability evaluation with characteristic velocity efficiency.

로켓 혹은 우주발사체의 주엔진에는 대부분 연료와 산화제를 연소시켜 나오는 에너지를 사용하는 화학로켓이 주종을 이루어 왔다. 이러한 로켓엔진에서 그동안 연료로는 수소계, 탄화수소계, 아민계 등 다양한 화학물질이 사용되어 왔으나, 산화제로는 강한 산화성을 나타내면서 밀도가 높은 몇몇 물질만이 제한적으로 사용되어져 왔으며, 최근에는 주로 액체산소(LOx)와 사산화질소(N2O4)가 사용되고 있다. 그러나 산화제 중 액체산소는 극저온이면서 상대적으로 밀도가 낮고, 사산화질소는 강한 독성을 지니고 있으며 액체로 존재하는 구간이 좁아 연구 목적의 소형발사체를 구현하는 것에는 많은 어려움이 있다. 이러한 이유로 최근 소형발사체 개발분야에서는 상온저장성이면서 친환경적인 과산화수소(H2O2)와 아산화질소(N2O)를 산화제로 활용하는 것에 대한 관심이 고조되고 있으나, 대형 추진기관을 개발하는 연구자들로부터는 액체산소를 사용할 때 보다 엔진 자체의 비추력이 상대적으로 낮다는 이유로 활용이 외면되어 온 것이 사실이다. 본 연구에서는 엔진 자체의 추진성능 보다는 사실상 발사체의 목적이라고 할 수 있는 추진단 속도증분을 성능의 지표로 삼아 평가하였으며, 결과를 통하여 과산화수소와 아산화질소의 높은 밀도가 엔진의 낮은 비추력을 충분히 보상할 수 있음을 보였다. 과산화수소와 아산화질소는 교육/연구용 소형발사체 구성에 충분히 활용가능한 산화제이며, 실제 발사에서 충분한 비행성능을 기대할 수 있는 물질로 평가할 수 있다.

Soil ecological risk assessment requires terrestrial toxicity data based on trophic levels including plants, earthworms, nematodes, and springtails. To expand the trophic levels, it is needed to consider primary producer algae, nearly distributed in terrestrial environment, as representative terrestrial test species. In this study, we collected research cases focused on soil-related test species and exposure media from SCI papers, and analyzed exposure media, test species, test chemicals, and other test methods, for reviewing research trends of soil-related algal toxicity. Up to now, in the soil-related algal toxicity, test species were 8 cases (Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata, Chlorella vulgaris, Scenedesmus bijugatus, Chlorococcum infusionum, Scenedesmus subspicatus, Nostoc linckia, Synechococcus elongatus, and Chlorococcum sp.) and endpoints were cell count or photosynthetic pigment content. Also, 5 of exposure media were liquid medium, soil extracts, porewater, agar medium, and soil. Most of papers used algae isolated from natural soils or soil extracts. There were only one case for assessing algal toxicity in soil medium. More researches regarding algal toxicity in soil environments need to be conducted consistently.

화학전에서 군부대 및 민방위 등을 제외하고는 대다수 시민들이 화학방호대책을 준비하기에는 어려운 것이 사실이다. 준비된 방호수단이 없는 가운데에서 화학공격 또는 테러를 당할 경우, 최소한의 방호대책을 강구하기 위해서는 주변에서 쉽게 구할 수 있는 일반물자류 중 그 역할을 할 수 있는 대체가능물자류를 확보하는 것이 중요하다. 따라서 이번 연구는 이런 대체물자류의 선정 범위 및 그 재질의 화학방호성능을 알아보는 기초적인 연구를 실시하는데 목적이 있었으며, 대체가능물자를 선택하는데 있어 기초자료를 제공하고자 하였다.

Oleyl alcohol, butyl butyrate, and two different ionic liquids were evaluated for the extraction of butanol from culture broth without toxic effect to cells. The tested solvents showed more than 50% extraction efficiency, and oleyl alcohol was chosen as the best extractant for butanol among the used extractants with a partition coefficient of 2.89. When oleyl alcohol was used as an extractant, more than 80% of butanol was extracted in the wide range of butanol concentrations (1-20 g/L) and pH values (pH 4-5.5). In extractive fermentation using oleyl alcohol only, there was 11% more butanol production and glucose consumption when compared to that without extractive fermentation, implicating a reduced inhibitory effect of butanol due to butanol removal to the oleyl alcohol phase. In addition, oleyl alcohol did not inhibit cell growth, while a mixture of oleyl alcohol and butyl butyrate with the volume ratio of 9:1~7:3 inhibited either butanol production or cell growth significantly due to the toxicity of butyl butyrate to cells. In conclusion, oleyl alcohol can be used as an efficient and non-toxic solvent for extractive fermentation for butanol production.

As the industries become more developed, the amounts of hazardous materials have been increased. Because of that, the possibility of accidents in plants is expected to increase. Especially, the dispersions of toxic materials cause serious effect to human life and environment, So it is very important to confirm safety distance of discharge accident. For this paper, we proposed new algorithms for toxic liquid, such as benzene and acrylonitrile. and using this argorithm, we are going to predict safety distance. The scenario of accidental release was assumed to be the release of entire quantity in 10 minutes is defined as worst-case scenario and Instantaneous release. Also the release from a partial rupture of line is used as an alternative case scenarios as NICS(National Institute of Chemical Safety) guidelines. Using ALOHA program and the algorithm for liquid toxic materials and suggested the graph, as well as correlated equations which can utilize emergency responders.

It has been well known that organic solvents like t-butanol and n-hexane can protect lipases from the inhibition by short-chain alcohols in the enzymatic transesterification. However, use of the organic solvents should be minimized considering their negative effects on environment and human health. Therefore, use of the greener solvents has been pursued in various are as including the enzymatic biotranformation. In this study, the liquid carbon dioxide ($LCO_2$) was employed as an alternative media for the enzymatic transesterification of canola oil. The conversion in the $LCO_2$ was comparable with those in organic solvents and the supercritical carbon dioxide, and under optimum conditions, the value reached 99.7%. It is expected that this method can provide a new type of biodiesel production process with higher energy efficiency and lower environmental impact.

In this study, we have conducted a survey of AHP technique through the ocean experts to derive new items and revise assessment items and indices for risk of sunken ships based on the survey results. As a result of the survey, two new items such as accident cause and tidal current are derived. And it shows that existing items such as toxic liquid substance, remaining oil and explosive gas which were evaluated as one group are desirable to be evaluated respectively. Accordingly, we analyze the indices of the new eleven assessment items adjusted from the existing seven assessment items. As a result, the indices are ordered by toxic liquid substance, possibility of leaking, explosive gas, carrying capacity of fuel oil, sensitivity of sea environment, marine traffic environment, cause of accident, tidal current, keel clearance, ship type, and ship size. Especially, as compared with the indices of existing assessment items, the indices of sensitivity of sea environment and possibility of leaking are higher and the index of keel clearance is lower.
