The effect of operating parameters (reaction temperature and time) and reaction modes (batch and semi-batch) on the behavior of amino acid production from hydrothermal decomposition of fish-derived wastes was investigated. The amino acids obtained in batch experiments at temperature of 250$^{\circ}C$ were mainly alanine (Ala) and glycine (Gly) at maximum yield of 65 and 28mg/g-dry fish, respectively. At relatively lower temperature of 200$^{\circ}C$, the yield of high-molecular-weight amino acids such as aspartic acid (Asp) and serine (Ser) is high, but decreases as temperature increases. It is likely that high-molecular-weight amino acids decompose faster than low-molecular ones. Semi-batch mode of reaction suppressed decomposition of amino acids into organic acids (or volatile materials) by continuously removing the products from the reaction zone as soon as they are formed. Thus, large amount of high-molecular-weight amino acids such as Asp and Ser at this reaction mode was observed.

In order to develop economic processes for ethanol production from starch, a simultaneous saccharification and fermentation(SSF) process using Zymomonas mobilis and amyloglucosidase (AMG) was studied in semibatch modes using cell recycle. The cell recycle was carried out by adopting two different methods; microfiltration and settling. The cell recycle using microfiltration revealed higher productivity(5.4 g/l/h) than that using a settler(4.3 g/l/h). Taking the large-scale ethanol fermentation into account, the semibatch process using microfiltration system appeared most promising among others with respect to ethanol productivity, feasibility of scale-up and simplification of operation.

Fueled by ballooning oil prices, waste plastics are now regarded as being cheap and abundant renewable sources, removing their stigma of dirty wastes Catalytic pryolysis of plastics in liquid phase allows recovery of light fuel oil as well as green treatment of polymerics wastes, and therefore significant efforts have been devoted to this research field. In this study, catalytic Pyrolysis of LDPE was carl ied out in semi-batch reactor which equipped a unit of separation and recirculation. The effect of react ion conditions were examined by analyzing liquid oil yield and carbon number distribution of products

Butyl acetate is produced from acetic acid and butanol via an esterification reaction in a reactive distillation column. Entrainer can be used for efficient removal of produced water from the reaction region, leading to significant improvement of the column performance. Batch reactive distillation has clear advantages over continuous one in terms of flexibility and adaptability in a small plant. We studied batch and semi-batch reactive distillation processes through process simulation and pilot-scale experiments. We investigated process configuration and type of entrainer for improvement of the column performance and suggested a novel cyclic operation strategy using the semi-batch reactive distillation column. The cyclic strategy was shown to give relatively high production rate and stable operation.

Experimental study on effects of factors on the reaction crystallization of silver chloride in rushton type reactor. The size and size distributions of the silver chloride crystals were observed to be markedly affected by the agitation speed of solution, and feeding rate, feeding mode and concentration of reactants. From experimental data it was inferred that in the reaction crystallization of silver chloride the supersaturation level of silver chloride and concentration of excess ions in the solution, and mass transfer rate around the crystals were implicitly interrelated with factors and directly affected on the crystal nucleation and grwoth processes. However, the morphology of the silver chloride crystal was not changed by factors.

The work present here shows the technique to produce p-Doped polypyrrole particles by semibatch dispersion polymerization using steric-stabilizer. Monomer-starved polymerization process was successful to increase the particle size up to 50 nm in case of polyvinylalcohol (PVA) stabilizer, and up to 95 nm in case of methylcellulose stabilizer. The particle size and the bulk conductivity changed with the feed rates of monomer, the concentrations of initiator (dopant) and the type, molecular weight, concentrations of steric-stabilizer.

표면에 여러 가지 기능성기를 가지는 microspheres는 immunoassay, drug delivery system, cell separation등 의용공학분야에 응용이 기대되고 있다. 이들 분야의 응용을 위하여 유화제를 사용하지 않으면서, 기존의 회분식, 반회분식, seed 중합법등의 문제점을 극복한 two stage shot growth technique올 개발하여 여러 가지 기능성기가 표면에 도입된 microspheres를 제조하였으며, 응용의 전단계로서 이들 microspheres에 대한 모델 단백질(BSA)의 흡착실험을 pH, 기능 성기의 종류와 양, BSA농도를 변수로 행하여 최대 흡착량을 보이는 조건을 결정하였다.

지구 온난화의 주요한 원인인 $CO_2$ 가스 저감을 위한 많은 연구가 현재 수행중이며, 하이드레이트 형성원리를 이용한 $CO_2$ 분리 및 회수에 대한 연구가 보고되고 있다. 하이드레이트 형성에 있어 결정성장 거동에 관한 연구는 $CO_2$ 하이드레이트 형성 메커니즘을 규명하는데 기초자료를 제공할 것으로 사료된다. 본 연구에서는 274.1K의 정온 조건에 서 반회분식 교반 반응기를 이용하여 1.7MPa에서 3.0MPa으로 압력 조건을 바꾸면서 $CO_2$ 하이드레이트를 형성시켰다. 실험에 공급된 기체의 조성은 $CO_2$ (99.999%)이다. 실험 관측은 광학현미경(Nikon, SMZ 1000)에 장착된 CCD카메라(Nikon DS-5M/Fi1/2M-U2)에 의하여 이루어 졌다. 하이드레이트 형성 및 해리 과정을 CCD카메라로 촬영하고 시간에 따른 온도와 압력의 변화를 기록하여 핵생성 시간, 성장 속도, 성장 거동을 관찰하였다. 실험에 적용되는 압력에 따라서 하이드레이트 성장형태와 성장속도에서 매우 큰 차이를 보이는 것을 확인하였다.

On the reaction crystallization of lanthanum oxalate effects of operation conditions of impeller speed, concentration and feed rate of reactant, and reaction temperature on the nucleation and growth of crystals were investigated experimentally. In general, at low supersation the analysis of crystallization processes is relatively clear. However, at high wupersaturation, which is usually applied in industrial crystallization, the processes are exhibited in much complication. In this study the lanthanum oxalate was crystallized by the reaction crystallization of high concentration of lanthanum chloride and oxalic acid in single-jet semi batch reactor. Agitation of solution and suspension in the reactor influenced to enhance the reaction process and crystal growth process which gave opposite effect on the crystallization of lanthanum oxalate. In our experiment since increase of impeller speed gave more influence on the reaction process rather than on the crystal growth process, the supersaturation concentration increased with increase of impeller speed, then resulted in decrease of mean crystal size. By the same effect of reactant concentration and feed rate, the decrease of mean crystall size of lanthanum oxalate was observed with increasing the reactant concentration and feed rate. In case of increasing reaction temperature, the mean crystal size increased. The morphology of lanthanum oxalate crystal was not changed within the variation ranges of the operation conditions which were applied in our experiment.

A new route for PBT (Poly butylene terephthalate) production from recycled PET (Poly ethylene terephthalate) has been explored. The route consists of glycolysis of PET (Poly ethylene terephthalate) wastes using 1,4-butandiol into BHBT oligomers and polycondensation of the oligomers into PBT oligomer. This process uses post-consumer or post-industrial recycled PET and converts it into high-end PBT type engineering thermoplastic via a chemical recycling process. Zink acetate was used as a catalyst for both glycolysis and polycondensation. Two types of reactor for the glycolysis, batch and semi-batch reactor, were investigated and their performances were compared. Semi-batch reactor removes ethylene glycol (EG) and THF (tetrahydrofuran) during the reaction. Amounts of EG and THF generated during the glycolysis reaction were measured and used as criteria for the reactor performance. Performance of semi-batch reactor was shown to be better than that of batch reactor. Optimum reaction condition for the semi-batch reactor was BD/PET ratio of 4, and reaction temperature of $220^{\circ}C$, giving high EG yield (max 91%) and low production of THF. In addition, it was confirmed that the molecular weight of PBT oligomer increases in accordance with the progress of the polycondensation reaction.
