For the purpose of development of the extraction process of lithium ion from concentrated water eliminated from desalination process, an experimental research on the solvent extraction of lithium ion from aqueous solutions was performed. The effects of operating parameters, such as concentration of extractant, ratio of extracting solution/aqueous solution, pH of aqueous solution, were examined. The effect of sodium chloride, the major component of sea water, was also examined. Lithium ion in aqueous solutions of pH=10.2~10.6 adjusted by ammonia solution was most effectively extracted by extracting solution composed of 0.02 M TTA and 0.04 M TOPO in kerosine. The addition of sodium chloride in lithium aqueous solution significantly interfered the extraction of lithium ion.

A two-dimensional (2D) spectrofluorometer was used to monitor various fermentation processes with recombinant E. coli for the production of 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA). The whole fluorescence spectral data obtained during a process were analyed using artificial neural networks, i.e. self-organizing map (SOM) and feedforward backpropagation neural network (BPNN).Based on the classified fluorescence spectra a supervised BPNN algorithm was used to predict some of the process parameters. It was also shown that the BPNN models could elucidate some sections of the process performance, e.g. forecasting the process performance.

Effects of carbon sources on zooglan production by Zoogloea ramigera were investigated. The production of zooglan was varied according to the carbon sources used. The largest amount of zooglan was obtained when lactose was used as carbon source and fermentation broth with lactose showed the higher viscosity. The effects of carbon sources were in decreasing order of lactose, glucose, galactose and sucrose. The viscosities of purified zooglan solutions (5g/L) obtained from different carbon sources were measured. When lactose was used, the viscosities of zooglan solutions was quite high and other carbon sources such as glucose and galactose gave little lower viscosities than lactose but sucrose gave very low values. On the other hand, it could be postulated that most of lactose is hydrolyzed by intracellular ${\beta}$-galactosidase.

Lentinula edodes liquid spawn growth under explosive aeration (supplying air with tiny bubbles) and soybean meal addition to liquid culture medium were investigated in terms of mycelial growth and residual free sugar content. The two treatments were effective for homogeneous culturing of mycelial spawn and for separating colonies during multiplication after an exponential growth period without limiting sustaining nitrogen nutrients. The mycelial growth and carbon dioxide concentration were greatest on the 13th day since the inoculation. At 12th day, however, free sugars were almost depleted in the upper part of the liquid medium. Total nitrogen content within precipitated mycelia was the highest at the 13th day. Chitin and sucrose contents in the mycelia were the highest at the 18th day, but ergosterol content became highest at 22 days. These results suggest that Lentinula edodes liquid spawn is ready in 18 days after inoculation.

본 연구에서는, 전기적 충격이 없고 넓은 면적을 동시에 처리할 수 있는 형태의 유전체 장벽 방전(DBD: Dielectric Barrier Discharge)을 이용한 대기압 저온 플라즈마 장치를 제작하고 이를 이용하여 빵 곰팡이(Neurospora crassa) 살균에 대한 기본 분석을 하였다. 실험에 사용한 저온 대기압 면방전 플라즈마의 파워는 사인파 교류전압을 인가하여, 방전전압은 1.4~2.3 kV, 방전전류는 20~30 mA의 값을 가지며, 전압과 전류의 위상차는 약 80도의 기울기 차이가 난다. 이때의 출력은 약 4 W를 가지며, 공랭식 쿨러를 이용하여 유전체의 열을 배출하였다. 시료대의 온도 측정결과 방전과 동시에 쿨러를 작동할 경우 최대 10분에서 37도를 넘지 않았다. 장치에서 발생하는 플라즈마에 의한 O3의 양은 플라즈마 발생부로부터 10 mm 이내에서 약 25~30 ppm 이 측정되었으며, NO나 NO2 는 거의 검지되지 않았다. 증류수(Deionized water)속에 담긴 빵 곰팡이(Neurospora crassa) 포자를 면방전 플라즈마 발생장치로 처리하였을 때, 포자의 발아율은 처리시간 및 출력파워가 증가함에 따라 급격히 감소하였으나 VM (Vogel's Minimal) 배양액에 넣고 플라즈마 처리를 한 경우에는, 증류수의 결과와 달리 살균효과가 미비함을 보였다. MTT 측정법 또한 같은 경향성을 보였으며, 이를 통해 포자를 둘러싸고 있는 환경이 플라즈마의 살균효과에 영향을 미치는 것으로 보인다. 본 실험을 통해, 유전체 장벽을 이용한 면방전 플라즈마 발생장치가 플라즈마 제트(jet)와 달리 직접적인 플라즈마 접촉 없이도 미생물 살균이 가능하다는 것을 보았으며, 처리대상의 생체용액과 같은 주변 환경에 영향을 받음을 알 수 있었다. 또한 면방전 플라즈마 장치로부터 발생하는 O3과 같은 활성종들이 빵 곰팡이의 비활성화에도 역할을 할 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

The possibility of using waste brine from kimchi factory as a substrate for the production of the single cell protein was investigated. The growth of Pichia guilliermondii A9 isolated from waste brine was not inhibited by the NaCl up to 10% (w/v). BOD of the waste brine was reduced to one tenth after 24 hours of yeast culture. The addition of ammonium salt, phosphate, and micronutrients to the waste brine did not enhance the growth of P. guilliermondii A9. However, when the brine was enriched with juice from waste cabbage, the final cell mass increased proportionally with the amount of added organic material, suggesting a practical application for the treatment of two different types of waste produced during kimchi manufacturing.

Global warming and a new energy policy request the energy saving and pollutant emission control in municipal level. Previous studies focus on transportation in the Seoul metropolitan area which can easily meet the policy goal by reducing it. This study expands the area of urban energy planning to the industries and land use which takes up most of energy use of the city. We empirically study the Busan metropolitan area's 5 years natural gas and electricity consumption data by the industries and land use. Results show that energy usage significantly depends on not only population but also urbanizing intensity and industrial category. This paper address that the policy maker need to pay attention on energy usage pattern of each sectors during the planning.

최근 국지성 호우 등 홍수방어 시설의 설계빈도를 초과하는 강우 발생으로 홍수피해가 증가하고 있다. 그 중 도시지역의 내수침수 피해는 전체 피해액의 50%를 넘는다. 그러나 우수관거의 노후화 및 통수능 부족으로 우수의 즉각적인 배출이 이루어지지 않아 침수피해가 증가하고 있다. 침수피해의 주요 원인 중 저지대 지역 및 우수관거의 통수능력 부족이 침수피해의 가장 큰 원인을 차지한다. 따라서 도심지의 경우 내수침수로 인한 피해가 증가하고 있는 점을 감안하면 배수관거와 연계한 저류시스템 구축으로 침수 빈발 지역의 치수 능력 향상을 통하여 경제적 피해를 저감시킬 수 있다. 저류시스템은 현장 노면수 저류를 위한 측구 저류조와 저류조 운영 시스템을 의미하며, 저류조 운영 시스템 모델에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 측구 저류조 운영 시스템 구축을 위해서 현장 센싱(Sensing)데이터와 연계할 수 있는 정보체계 및 운영 시스템 모델이 필요하다. 이에 센서를 활용한 도심지 측구 저류조 운영 시스템 모델을 제시한다. 먼저 센서의 구성은 측구 저류조 내의 협소한 공간과 전원공급, 방진·방수 문제를 해결할 수 있도록 구성되어야 하며, 무전원 근거리 이동통신기술(RFID)을 적용하여 측구 저류조 운영 시스템 수집서버와 통신하여 센싱 데이터를 저장한다. 데이터는 근거리 RFID 리더기가 측구 저류조로부터 센싱 정보를 수신하여 통신모듈에 수신한 저류조 개폐도어 열림과 닫힘 시그널(signal), RFID의 고유 ID 등을 전달 받아 운영 시스템 내의 RFID 이력 DB(Database)에 기록한다. 기록된 정보는 각각 RFID 일련번호, 기록 시간, 동적센서 시그널 값 등이 저장되어 각각의 측구 저류조의 상태를 확인할 수 있어야 한다. 저류량 산정을 위해서 GIS기반의 하수도 시설물 속성 데이터를 포함하는 운영 시스템을 구성해야 한다. 운영 시스템은 수집된 센서정보를 시계열 단위로 분석하고 위치정보 기준으로 측구 저류조 내의 총 저류량 산출에 필요한 기초정보를 제공하며 결과를 표출한다. 따라서 하수도 시설물의 속성정보를 포함하여 측구 저류조 및 센서의 속성정보 정의가 필요하며, 공간정보 파일(Shape File)을 적용하여 GIS 운영 시스템을 구축하여야 한다. 운영 시스템은 저류조 만관상태와 총 저류량을 산출하여 침수위험 알림을 제공할 수 있으며, 예상 강우에 따른 도심지 피해를 역으로 예측하여 강우사상 빈도에 따른 측구 저류조 체적을 결정할 수 있다.

BACKGROUND: In recent years, several researchers have focused on odour control methods to remove the harmful chemicals from chemical accidents and incidents. The present work deals with the system development of the hazardous. METHODS AND RESULTS: For on-site removal of hazardous gaseous materials from chemical accidents, mobile vortex wet scrubber was designed with water vortex process to absorb the gas into the water. The efficiency of the mobile vortex wet scrubber was evaluated using water spray and 25% ammonia solution. The inlet air velocity (gas flow rate) was according to the damper angle installed within the hood and with increase of gas flow rate, consequently the absorption efficiency was markedly decreased. In particular, when 25% ammonia solution was exposed to the hood inlet for 30 min, the water pH within the scrubber was changed from 7 to 12. Interestingly, although the removal efficiency of ammonia gas exhibited approximately 80% for 5 min, its efficiency in 10 min showed the greatest decrease with 18%. Therefore, our results suggest that the ammonia gas may be absorbed with the driving force of scrubbing water in water vortex process of this scrubber. CONCLUSION: When chemical accidents are occurred, the designed compact scrubber may be utilized as effective tool regarding removal of ammonia gas and other volatile organic compounds in the scene of an accident.
