Batch enzymatic hydrolysis of egg yolk protein by protease was carried out at laboratory scale coupled to an ultrafiltration module. Effect of ethanol concentrations on the performance of enzymatic hydrolysis was studied to determine the optimum condition of recovery of hydrolysate. The enzymatic hydrolysis was conducted stepwise with following conditions, $50^{\circ}C$, pH 10.0 and pH 6.5. Ethanol concentration was changed from 10 to $40\%$ (w/w). As ethanol concentration was increased, the recovery yield of total solid and protein in enzymatic hydrolysate was also increased. The content of sialic acid and protein in hydrolysate was independent of ethanol concentration. We also investigated the effect of ethanol concentration on the performance of ultrafiltration. As the concentration of ethanol in yolk protein was increased, the recovery yield of product was increased. Ultra­filtration of egg yolk protein hydrolysate was conducted to increase the content of sialic acid. Four ultrafiltation modules were used in this study, and we evaluated the performance of the UF modules. When Amicon module was used, the recovery percentage of total solid in retentate was $6.0\%$, which is the highest among the modules used. In spite of the difference in the recovery yield of total solid, the purity of sialic acid in retentate was about $2.0\%$, which was 5 times higher than that in feed. It was concluded that the recovery yield and the purity of sialic acid did not correlate with the types of modules and the size of MWCO.

The purpose of this study is to recover valuable metals from spent batteries using a dry process. We focused on the effect of the smelting temperature on the composition of recovered solid and liquid products and collected gaseous products. After removal of the cover, the spent battery was left in NaCl solution and discharged. Then, the spent battery was made into a powder form through a crushing process. The smelting of the spent battery was performed in a tubular electric furnace in an oxygen atmosphere. For spent lithium-ion batteries, the recovery yield of the solid product was 80.1 wt% at a reaction temperature of 850 ℃, and the final product had 27.2 wt% of cobalt as well as other metals such as lithium, copper, and aluminum. Spent nickel-hydrogen batteries had a recovery yield of 99.2 wt% at a reaction temperature of 850 ℃ with about 37.6 wt% of nickel and other metals including iron. For spent nickel-cadmium batteries, the yield decreased to 65.4 wt% because of evaporation with increasing temperature. At 1050 ℃, the recovered metals were nickel (41 wt%) and cadmium (12.9 wt%). Benzene and toluene, which were not detected with the other secondary waste batteries, were detected in the gaseous product. The results of this study can be used as basic data for future research on the dry recycling process of spent secondary batteries.

폐수처리 분야에 대한 막분리기술의 적용은 산업 전분야에서 그 성능을 입증받고 널리 활용되고 있는 단계이다. 막분리 기술은 단순히 폐수를 처리한다는 개념이 아니라 폐수중에 함유된 유효물질을 회수하여 재사용한다는 점과 폐수중의 물을 높은 수율로 회수하여 재사용한다는 측면, 폐수 오염원의 부하를 크게 줄여준다는 측면에서 많은 잇점을 가지고 있다. 이러한 특징은 각 분야의 제조공정을 "Closed-loop system화" 및 "Zero Discharge" 개념으로 운전함으로써 환경오염의 방지와 더불어 자원의 재활용에 의한 원가절감 효과를 가져올 수 있게 하였다.절감 효과를 가져올 수 있게 하였다.

대수층 저장 및 회수(Aquifer Storage and Recovery, 이하 ASR) 기법은 지표수가 여유가 있는 기간동안 지하 대수층에 정수된 물을 주입하여 두었다가, 첨두 수요(peak demand)가 필요한 한시적인 기간동안 대수층 내에 저장되어 있던 물을 양수하여 공급하는 새로운 개념의 수자원 공급 체계의 일환이다. 본 발표에서는 미국 Oregon 주의 대표적인 3개 도시에서 수행된 수자원 공급 사업과 이 수자원 공급사업에서 ASR 기법이 어떻게 적용되었는지를 살펴보았다. 이들 도시에서 수행된 ASR 기법을 활용한 수자원 공급은, 기존 지표 저류조 저장 방식에 비해 월등히 경제적이며, 다양한 이점을 가지고 있는 것으로 드러났다. 또한 이들 도시에서의 ASR 기법 적용에 따른 효율성이 2001년도 및 2002년도에 분명하게 나타나 현재 이들 도시는 ASR 시설에 대한 확충 계획을 수립, 진행하고 있다. 한편, 이들 지역의 ASR 기법 활용 용수 공급 사례는, 국내의 경우에도 투수성이 우수한 화산암 지역, 제3기 지층 및 석회암 지역 등에서 활용될 경우, 충분한 효과를 발휘 할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Representative methods for removing spilled oil include mechanical skimming, chemical treatment, burning at the surface of the spilled oil, and microbiological degradation. Among these methods, mechanical skimmer is the most efficient. Mechanical skimming can be classified into the following categories: belt-type, disk-type, weir-type, drum-type. We designed models with a submerged orifice for use in our experiments, for an objective and systematic evaluation of the recovery efficiency of mechanical skimming. Basically, oil is lighter than seawater and hence tends to float on the surface of the latter if there is sufficient time for floating. The present skimmer is kind of wear-type with the submerged orifice for seawater to be squeezed through, minimizing water content in the tank. From the experimental results, we identify the parameters that influence the oil recovery rate and recovery efficiency. The recovery efficiency can be enhanced by increasing the thickness of the oil layer in the first oil accumulative tank.

Phenol에 오염된 토양으로부터 토양을 복원하기 위하여 soxhlet 추출법과 microwave 에너지 추출법을 비교하였다. 그 결과 phenol에 오염된 토양으로부터 soxhlet 추출법으로 phenol을 회수하고자 할 때는 오염된 지 36 시간 전후에 메탄올과 물을 일정 비율 혼합하여 추출하는 것이 최고의 회수율을 가지는 것으로 관찰되었으며 그 회수율은 약 75 %에 이른다. 그리고 microwave 에너지 추출법을 사용할 경우 phenol에 오염된 지 36 시간 전후로 추출 용매는 acetone을 사용하여 추출 시간 60 초 동안 microwave 에너지를 주사하여 추출하는 것이 제일 좋은 회수율을 가지는 것으로 확인되었고 그 회수율은 약 85%였다. 따라서 오염 토양으로부터 오염 물질 제거시 soxhlet 추출법보다는 microwave 에너지 추출 방법이 보다 경제적이며 우수한 추출 효율을 나타냄을 확인하였다.

Shape-controlled copper oxides have been recovered from copper-containing waste etchant by neutralization with alkalihydroxide. Large amount of copper-containing waste etchant is generated from Printed Circuit Board industry. In an environmental and economic point of view, retrieve of the valuable natural resource from the waste is important. In recycling process of copper oxide from the waste etchant, reaction temperature controls shapes and sizes of the products. Copper oxide recovered below reaction temperature $40^{\circ}C$ was of a needle shape, while copper oxide comes in a platy shape above $40 ^{\circ}C$ . Physical properties of samples have been characterized using SEM, XRD, TGA and Atomic absorption spectroscopy.
