카드뮴(Cadmium)은 생물학적 반감기가 길고, 체내 축적이 용이하므로 급성 및 만성 중독증상을 일으키기 쉽다. 키토산(Chitosan)은 금속이온의 선택적인 흡착제로 중금속으로 인한 중독현상을 완화시킬 수 있는 기능성 물질로 검토되고 있다. 본 연구는 카드뮴의 수준별 투여에 따른 흰쥐의 무기질 대사 장애 정도를 검토하고, 키토산 함유식이를 공급했을 때, 그 효과를 규명하고자 하였다.(중략)

최근 유전자 공학의 급속한 발전으로 인하여 유전자 조작을 통한 생화합물의 대량 생산, 세포배양에 의한 생화학제품(아미노산, 단백질, 핵산)의 생산이 크게 진보하고 있으나, 이에 비해 생화학제품을 효율적으로 분리 및 정제하는 기술은 상대적으로 발전하지 못했다. 생화합물의 분리 방법은 전통적으로 유기용매에 의한 침전법, 염석법, 탈염법, 크로마토그래피법, 전기영동법, 흡착제를 이용한 흡착법등을 사용하는데 이 방법들은 소규모 및 회분식 공정으로 이루어져 대형화에 따른 분리 공정의 효율이 감소하는 어려움이 있었다. 따라서 연속공정으로서 대형화가 쉽고, 효율적인 생물분리공정의 개발이 요구되고 있다.

Experimental studies were carried out to develop oil-absorbent using curdlan solution or gel. Curdlan sponge was prepared by freeze drying. Surface of curdlan sponge was observed with Scanning electron microscopy(SEM). Curdlan sponge absorbed more than 9 times oil and curdlan was recovered by gellation. Curdlan solution gelled at higher temperature than 50$^{\circ}C$ and dissolved at pH 11.0 and viscosity of curdlan solution increased at 40∼50$^{\circ}C$.

This study is an experimental research on the adsorption capacity and the adsorption system utilizing Discarded Automotive Tires(DAT) and Powdered or Granular Activated Carbon(PAC or GAC) for the removal of heavy metals, Ag(I), Cd(II), Cu(II), Zn(II). Batch shaking test was conducted to determine the adsorption capacity of DA T and PAC in removing the heavy metals from aqueous wastes; and laboratory-scale column experiment was performed to present design factors affecting the optimum design of adsorption column with DAT and GAC, through the concept of Bed Deph/Service Time(BDST). As results, DAT has been proven to be a good adsorbent will its adsorption capacity not falling behind PAC or GAC. Factors affecting heavy metals removals were amount of adsorbents, initial concentrations, pH and so on. BDST equations were compared with values presented by the breakthrough data from adsorption system.

The adsorption of the antimicrobial compounds(AMCs) and their heat-resistance were investigated for the packaging film manufacture, wherein, the antimicrobial compounds were adsorbed on a silica component. The naturally source antimicrobial compounds were produced by methylotropic actinomycetes strains MO-16 and MO-17, extracted with ethylacetate. Antimicrobial compounds adsorbed on water-soluble silica had retained activity against Gram(+) and the Gram(-) bacteria after heat treatment at 150$\^{C}$ for 5min. The benzoic acid showed strong antimicrobial activity to fungi and was stable to heat treatment. The combination of antimicrobial compound plus benzoic acid was synergistic against test strains. Therefore, we estimated that the water-soluble silica is suitable for the packaging film manufacture as a adsorbent of the antimicrobial compounds.

The porcine epidemic diarrhea virus(PEDV) production yield in spinner flask cultures using Vero cells immobilized on microcarriers was improved by the selective adsorption of ammonium ions in a Carberry type bioreactor which was equipped with Phillipsite-Gismondine synthetic zeolite. Though the apparent cell growth seemed to be lower than that of control due to the aggregation of microcarriers between impeller shaft and the adsorbent, zeolite was found to not to be toxic to Vero cell, considering estimated glucose and lactate changes. Zeolite was observed to remove ammonium ions effectively in both steps of cell growth and virus production. In virus production, the virus titer with zeolite was two times higher than that without zeolite. Consequently, zeolite was found to be an ideal adsorbent for higher production of virus vaccine with the effective removal of ammonium ions.

Biosorption characteristics were investigated at various temperature and pH conditions in order to establish lead(II) removal using Zoogloea ramigera 115SLR. Biosorption equilibrium isotherms and kinetics were obtained from batch experiments. The Freundlich and Langmuir model could be described the biosorption equilibrium of lead(II) on Z. ramigera 115SLR, Ca-alginate bead and immobilized Z. ramigera 115SLR. The maximum biosorption capacity of Z. ramigera 115SLR increased from 325 to 617mg $pb^{2+}/g$ biomass as temperature increased from 288.15 K to 308.15K from the Langmuir model. Fixed-bed column breakthrough curves for lead(II) removal were also obtained. For regeneration of the biosorbent, complete lead(II) desorption was achieved using 5mM HCl in fixed-bed column. This study shows the possibilities that well-treated immobilized Z. ramigera 115SLR with the mechanical intensity like TEOS (Tetraethyl orthosilicate) treatment and the optimum acid solution for desorption can be used for the effective treatment for lead(II) containing wastewater.

The development of a new sorbent for carbon dioxide depends on several factors, such as fast adsorption/absorption velocity, hydrophobicity, and lower regeneration temperature than commercial sorbent. In this study, aminosilane grafted activated carbon was synthesized to capture CO2. Methyltrimethoxysilane (MTMS) and 3-aminopropyl-triethoxysilane (APTES) were used as the grafting precursor of the amine functional group. The APTES grafting activated carbon showed higher sorption property than MTMS used one. The characteristics of the separation mechanism of carbon dioxide were examined by measuring the adsorption capacity according to temperature and carbon dioxide partial pressure. The absorption capacity of carbon dioxide was similar to amine grafting activated carbon and activated carbon at 25℃, but amine-grafted activated carbon was higher at 75℃. The amine functional group-grafted activated carbon showed higher absorption capacity than activated carbon with a 1% carbon dioxide partial pressure. Aminosilane grafting of activated carbon was chemically absorbed but also showed the characteristics of physical adsorption. The reforming activated carbon with an amine functional group grafted solid absorption/adsorption sorbent would significantly impact the material engineering industry and carbon dioxide adsorption process. The functionalized sorbent is a high-performance composite material. The developed sorbent may have applications in other industrial processes of absorption/adsorption and separation.

Plastics of the marine environment are broken gradually down into smaller particles by chemical weathering, called "microplastic". Microplastics absorb organic pollutants that are persistent bioaccumulative substances. If marine animals ingested microplastic added to contaminant, it will lead to a bioaccumation through the food web. It eventually destroy health of marine environment and is harmful to marine top predators including humans. Also, Microplastics can impact marine animals by leaching the endocrine disruptor in microplastic itself as well as playing an adsorbent role of organic pollutants. Persistent and bioaccumulative substances in Korea have been regulated in terms of chemical risk but existing regulations largely have been limited in land-based source management of microplastic. Thus, the harmful impact will be increased whether the microplastics absorbed contaminants. To prevent risk of persistent bioaccumulative substances, this study suggests the following: (1) the strict management of microplastic by designating the hazardous substances, (2) expand the use of biodegradable plastic, (3) the effort for reuse and recycle, (4) the expand of microplastic clean-up programs.

A study on the removal of heavy metals using alginic acid, a kind of polysaccharides, was performed. Alginic acid adsorbed 480 mg Pb/g dry mass at pH 4, which was about twice as high as uptake capacity of other biosorbents. Isothermal adsorption curve for lead ions was described by the Langmuir model equation and the experimental data well fitted to model equation. The adsorption of lead ions was an endothermic process since binding strength increased with temperature. The effect of alkali metal ions ($Ca^{2+}$ and $Mg^{2+}$) on lead sorption capacity was negligible and most adsorption process was completed in 30min. The uptake capacity of other metals such as, copper, mercury, strontium, and cesium ions using alginic acid was also investigated.
