To investigate the characteristics of pyrolysis for LDPE, LLDPE and HDPE, the low temperature pyrolysis was carried out in the range of 425 to $500^{\circ}C$ for 35 to 65 min. The liquid products formed during pyrolysis were classified into gasoline, kerosene, light oil and wax according to the distillation temperatures based on the petroleum product quality standard of Korea Petroleum Quality Inspection Institute. TGA experiments for three PE samples showed that the onset temperature of pyrolysis increased with increasing heating rate, and the onset temperature of pyrolysis at a fixed heating rate was in the order of LDPE$475^{\circ}C$. Yields of gasoline and kerosene were highest at $450^{\circ}C$, 65 min and decreased slightly at above $475^{\circ}C$.

Chitin is known as biodegradable natural polymer. But, in spite of various application of chitin from waste marine sources, commercial use of chitin has been limited due to highly resistance to chemicals and the absense of proper solvents. Therefore, we studied that another viscosity chitosan were prepared from chitin which were deacetylated under various concentration of NaOH solution, reaction time and temperature by the application of Mirna's method. The major parameters for these manufacturing methods were found to be concentration of alkali solution, reaction time and temperature etc. Besides, we studied that various chitosan derivatives were prepared from chitin by crosslinkage with epichlorohydrin and 1,3-dichloropropanol. The effects of these parameters on another viscosity(molecular weight) chitosan and crosslinked chitosan dervatives were investigated by various analysis apparatus. SEM analysis showed that both chitin and chitosan had a particle shaped morphology and another molecular weight chitosan according to the particle size was much smaller than that of chitin.

Carboxymethylcellulose(CMC) which is water soluble at room temperature was manufactured from the cellulose material in this study. Experimental parameters were reaction temperature, time and concentration of NaOH and monochloroacetic acid. CMC was tested for solubility, degree of substitution(D.S.) and tensile strength. The surface structure of CMC fiber was tested using scanning electron microscope(SEM). CMC manufactured from viscose rayon was affected by the chemical concentration rather then the reaction time and temperature. Also, degree of substitution is closely related to the solubility of the CMC.

Glycosides were synthesized using transglycosylation reaction of amylase in water system. Starch as a glycosyl donor and benzylalcohol as an acceptor were selected as substrates of transglycosylation reaction. Among tested 9 commercial amylase, amyloglucosidase from Rhizopus sp. had high activity for transglycosylation from starch. The glycoside synthesized in water phase by amyloglucosidase was identified as benzylalcohol-${alpha}$-glucoside (BG) of which one molecule of benzylalcohol was bound to 1-OH of glucose. The transglycosylation reaction by amyloglucosidase were carried out in reaction system containing 50 mg starch, 50 mg benzylalcohol, and 10 units enzyme in pH 5.0 at 45$^{\circ}C$. The synthesized BG was hydrolyzed by ${alpha}$-glucosidase to produce glucose and benzylalcohol.

A series of tests were conducted on the reesterification of rice bran oil containing high free fatty acids (acid value=119.7) with theoretical equivalent of glycerol. Test results showed that reaction rate (in terms of decrease in acid value) was increased as the reaction temperature was increased regardless of the presence of the catalyst and reaction time (42.7, 21.5 and 10.0 at $170^{\circ}C,\;210^{\circ}C\;and\;250^{\circ}C$, respectively) and as the reaction time was increased regardless of the temperature and the presence of the catalyst (31.1 vs 18.3 for 3 hrs vs 6 hrs). The presence of the catalyst (0.2% tin chloride) also accelerated the rate regardless of the reaction temperature and time (36.9 vs 12.5). Analysis by column chromatography showed that content of triglyceride in the oil was increased to 72.9% and 61.1% from 10.4% and content of free fatty acids in the oil was decreased to 1.4% and 6.1% from 60.2%, when the degummed oil was esterified at $250^{\circ}C$ for 6 hrs in the presence of and in the absence of the catalyst, respectively. The results estimated from the iodine values indicate that polymer formation was not significant, when the oil was esterified for 6 hrs at temperatures up to $210^{\circ}C$. However, it was somewhat significant for the oil esterified at $250^{\circ}C$ for 6 hrs. The catalyst did not affect the polymer formation. Analysis by high performance liquid chromatography showed that oleic acid (42.5%), linoleic acid (29.0%) and palmitic acid (20.3%) were the major fatty acid components of the rice bran oil.

The purpose of this study was to optimize experimental conditions (time ($X_1$) (ranging of 26.36 - 93.64 min), concentration of sulfuric acid ($X_2$) (ranging of 0-2.5%) and temperature ($X_3$) (ranging of $136.4-203.6^{\circ}C$) for an organosolv pretreatment process to extract lignin from waste wood. The resulting quadratic model equation using RSM (response surface methodology) represented y (lignin yield) = $-79.89+0.91X_1+9.8X_2-2.54{\times}10^{-3}X_1{^2}-2.11X_2{^2}$. The $R^2$ (coefficient of determination) value of 0.8531 for a model indicates this model has statistically significant predictors at the 10% levels. The predictive results optimized by quadratic model produced a lignin yield of 12.46 g/100 g of dry wood under conditions of $178.2^{\circ}C$ and 2.32% $H_2SO_4$. The lignin yield was more affected by the acid catalyst concentrations than the reaction temperature, but the reaction time was not an influential factor for improving lignin extraction from waste wood in this organosolv pretreatment. According to ANOVA (analysis of variance), the significance probability (p-value) of model was smaller than 0.001 and simulation of obtained model equations showed a good reproducibility based on actual organosolv tests under optimal conditions.

This paper addresses the hydrothermal reactivity of blast furnace slag and fly ash with lime, respectively. The test conditions were CaO-to-$SiO_2$ ratio (C/S), autoclaving temperature ($140{\circ}C$ and $180{\circ}C$) and time (20 to 60h). The study was carried out in terms of the hydrothermal reactivity between $SiO_2$ contained in each hydraulic material and (pure) lime and the compressive strength of autoclaved specimens. Porosity measurement and the XRD analysis were also made in order to ascertain the hydraulicity of the siliceous materials. Compressive strength of the specimens was interpreted in terms of porosity and the reactivity of CaO and $SiO_2$. And the XRD analysis showed the C/S change of the hydrates in the course of autoclaving process. $SiO_2$ in the blast furnace slag was more reactive with CaO than that in the fly ash and consequently the blast furnace slag specimens resulted in much higher compressive strength. A maximum compressive strength of $807kg/cm^2$ was obtained for the blast furnace slag at the autoclaving condition of $180{\circ}C$ and 40 h, while only $397kg/cm^2$ was maximally to achieve with fly ash.

산업의 고도화가 진행됨에 따라 화학원료의 사용이 증가하고 있고 독성을 가진 화학물질이 하천으로 유입되는 사고가 빈번하게 발생하고 있다. 수환경으로 유입되는 유해화학물질은 주로 무색무취의 물질들로 사고가 발생하더라도 초기 발견이 어려워 어류폐사를 유발하거나 취수시설에서 용수로 취수되는 경우가 발생하기 때문에 이에 대한 대응책 마련이 필수적이다. 하천에 유입된 오염물질의 거동을 신속하게 예측하기 위해 1차원 오염물질 추적 모형이 활용되는데, Fickian 이송-분산 모형(Fickian Advection-dispersion equation model; FADE)이 주로 사용되고 있다. 하지만 FADE는 오염물질이 하천 저장대에서 지체되는 현상을 반영하지 못하기 때문에 농도곡선의 왜곡도를 구현하지 못하는 단점을 가지고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 하천저장대모형(River Storage Model; RSM)을 개발하고 이를 국가하천인 감천에 적용하였다. 본 연구에서 개발한 RSM은 분산계수, 본류대 면적, 저장대 면적, 저장대 교환계수의 네 가지 매개변수를 통해서 하천의 물질 저장 및 교환 특성를 구현한 non-Fickian 모형으로서, 생화학반응, 휘발, 흡·탈착항을 추가하여 유해화학물질의 혼합 거동을 정확하게 모의할 수 있도록 개발하였다. 저장대 모형의 매개변수를 산정하기 위해서 하천 유량과 지형자료를 기반으로 HEC-RAS를 모의하여 계산된 수리특성을 입력변수로 사용하였다. 저수기, 평수기, 풍수기 유량을 기준으로 세 경우의 시나리오 모의를 수행하였는데, 5ton의 톨루엔이 김천산업단지에서 감천으로 유입된 경우 약 20km 하류에 위치한 취수장에서 톨루엔의 농도변화를 예측했다. 보존성 물질에 대한 모의 결과, 풍수기의 경우 저수기에 비해 유속이 크기 때문에 취수장에서 20.56시간 먼저 기준농도에 도달하고, 7.21시간 더 짧게 머무는 것으로 나타났다. 유해화학물질의 반응특성에 대한 민감도 분석을 시행한 결과, 생화학적 반감기가 18.98시간보다 길고, 옥탄올-물 분배계수가 2.267 이하인 물질은 생분해 및 흡·탈착 반응에 둔감한 것으로 나타났다. 1m 수심 기준 0.114m/s 이하 유속에서의 하천 수리조건에서는 화학물질의 휘발성을 무시할 수 있는 것으로 밝혀졌다.

최근 지구온난화, 엘리뇨 및 라니냐 등 지구환경 변화에 따른 기후변화의 영향으로 짧은 시간에 매우 높은 강도를 가진 이상호우에 의해 많은 인명과 재산피해가 발생하고 있다. 우리나라의 경우에도 1990년대 후반부터 과거와 달리 국지적 집중호우가 빈번히 발생하고 있으며 집중호우에 의한 홍수는 우리나라의 가장 빈번한 자연재해 중 하나가 되었다. 이러한 성격의 홍수는 소유역 규모의 좁은 지역과 급경사지역에서 짧은 지속시간과 집중적인 강우강도에 의해 발생하고, 빠른 유속과 토사를 동반하는 빠른 수문반응으로 홍수에 대비할 시간이 부족한 것이 특징이기 때문에 기존의 홍수예보모형을 이용하여 발생홍수의 특성을 예측하기에는 많은 어려움이 있다. 유출수문곡선의 특성을 분석하여 홍수의 특성을 분석하는 연구는 Kyiamah (1996)가 유출수문곡선의 기초적인 상승곡선, 지체시간, 첨두홍수량을 이용하여 돌발홍수사상에 대한 크기를 산정하였으며, 이를 바탕으로 Bhaskar 등 (2000)은 유출수문곡선의 상승부 기울기, 첨두 홍수량비, 홍수 반응시간을 이용하여 돌발홍수지수(Flash Flood Index)를 산정하고 이 지수에 의해 돌발홍수를 설명하고자 하였다. 국내에서는 정재철 (2000)이 보청천을 대상으로 단 몇 개의 사상만을 대상으로 Bhaskar 등 (2000)이 제시한 돌발홍수지수를 적용한 바가 있다. 그러나, 이들 연구에서는 소수의 수문사상만을 이용하였기 때문에 상대심도를 산정하는데 있어 문제가 있으며 상대심도를 산정하는데 있어 각 심도계수들의 임의적인 도수분포를 이용하였기 때문에 매우 주관적이라고 할 수 있다. 김병식 등 (2008)은 한강유역의 과거 101개의 홍수사상에 대해 돌발홍수의 상대심도를 파악하기 위하여 돌발홍수지수를 산정하고 2006년 7월의 집중호우에 의해 발행한 홍수사상의 돌발홍수 심도를 시간 및 공간적으로 정량화하였다. 이러한 기존의 연구는 홍수심도 산정시에 필요한 유출수문곡선을 실측된 자료를 이용하여 산정하였으나 국내의 소유역의 경우 실측된 유출수문곡선 자료가 그다지 많지 않은 관계로 인해 홍수심도를 산정하는데 많은 어려움을 내포하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 미계측 소유역중 시범유역을 선정하고 30년 이상 장기간 실측 강우의 기왕최대 시강우량 자료에 대하여 강우-유출모형을 통한 홍수유출수문곡선을 모의한 후, 빈도별 확률강우량에 대한 수문곡선 특성인자들의 비를 무차원 지수화하여 극한홍수사상에 대한 설계강우의 취약성을 평가하기 위한 홍수위험지수 (Flood Hazard Index) 산정방법을 제시하였다.

The photocatalytic degradation of Mordant Yellow-12 (MY-12) was investigated using a UV-Visible Spectrophotometer and pH meter. The UV-Visible absorbance spectra of the MY-12 contaminated water before and after treatment were presented in figure. The decrease of absorbance occurs at the range of 250 and 450 nm, this result suggests that photocatalytic degradation involves destruction of the aromatic rings in this experiment. More than 32% of the MY-12 was decomposed after one hour in 26-W fluorescent lamp, whereas it was 17% and 24% respectively in 15-W and 21-W lamps. MY-12 was decomposed completely after three hours in 26-W fluorescent lamp. The destruction rate constants were calculated from the change of absorbance and pH.
