광합성 세균의 수소생성 기작에 대한 연구의 일환으로 광합성 세균에서 생성되는 색소의 성분을 조사하였다. 분리한 광합성 세균 K-7은 수소생성능이 뛰어난 균주로 조사된 홍색 비유황세균으로서 생리, 형태 및 배양학적 조사에 의하여 Rhodopseudomonas spheroides로 분류하였다. Type culture인 Rhodopseudomonas spheroides NCIB 8253과 비교 연구하였으며, SEM(Scanning Electron Microscope)하에서 기존균주와 분리균주의 형태학적인 특징을 확인하였다. 군 동정의 주요열쇠가 되는 색소성분을 조사한 결과, 균주 K-7에서 추출된 carotenoids로는 spheroidene의 산화형태인 OH-spheroidenone이 주성분이었고, Neurosporene, Lycopene, Anhydro- rhodovibrin, Rhodovibrin등이 동정되었다.

Hydrogen fermentation from food waste was attempted at different hydraulic retention time(HRT, 18-42 h). A continuous reactor fed with ground, alkali-treated and diluted food waste(average VS 4.4%) exhibited stable hydrogen production during 126 days. Hydrogen production depended on HRT, resulting in the maximum values of 25.8 mL $H_2/g\;VS_{added}$, 0.36 mol $H_2/mol\;hexose_{added}$ and 0.91 L $H_2/L/d$ at HRT 30 h. n-Butyrate and isopropanol production increased with hydrogen production increased, while acetate production decreased. The fermentation efficiency ranged from 53.3 to 65.7%, which implied that hydrogen fermentation would substitute conventional acidogenesis of food waste.

For improvement of photobiological hydrogen production, Rhodopseudomonas El5-1, a photo-synthetic becterium capable of producing n high yield of hydrogen, was immobilized and conditions for hydrogen production by immobilized cells were examined. The optimum concentration for the combined matrix was obtained when sodium alginate was used at final concentration of 4%. The immobilized cells may reduce the inhibitory effects of nitrogen or oxygen. To minimize the diffusion resistance of the nutrients in alginate gel, the bend size less than 2 mm in diameter was desirable. The immobilized cells were also able to utilize n wide range of organic substrates for the production of hydrogen. The hydrogen producing activity of the immobilized cells was maintained for 20 days without loss of activity during semi-continuous operation of the reactor by feeding of new medium periodically and continuous production of hydrogen could be successfully performed for 30 days.

With the assistance of thermal pyrolysis process for hydrocarbon gases, the formation and growth of particulate carbon was systematically investigated as a function of temperature in the gas phase. The yield and average size of pyrocarbon particles were found to increase with increasing pyrolysis temperature. The difference in the yield of carbon particles generated by pyrolizing acetylene and ethylene gas posed a question about the role of hydrogen in the pyrolysis of hydrocarbon gases. In order to reveal the role of hydrogen, controlled amount of hydrogen was added to the acetylene pyrolysis, and then hydrogen addition was observed to suppress the formation and growth of carbon particles. One can control the size of pyrocarbon particles by controlling the hydrogen gas addition.

연속반응조에서의 수소생산에 대한 수리학적체류시간(희석율, D)의 영향을 $1\%$ sucrose를 함유한 $37{\pm}1^{\circ}C$ 조건에서 조사하였다. 실험결과 수리학적체류시간(희석율)의 각각의 조건에 따라 생성된 가스중 수소성분은 $50~71\%$의 범위로 발생되었다. $H_2/CO_2$ 비율은 희석율이 증가할 때 $H_2/CO_2$ 비율도 증가하였다. 최대수소생성 수율은 희석율 0.14 l/h까지는 증가하다가 이후에는 감소하였고, 수소생성 수율은 0.81 l/g sucrose이었다. Acetate 생성 수율은 butyrate생성 수율 보다 희석율 조건변화에 민감하게 변화하였다. propionate 및 solvents는 희석율 변화에 영향을 받지 않았다 biomass 수율은 희석율이 0.2 l/h 까지는 증가하였으나, 그 이상의 조건에서는 감소하였다.

Both hydrogenase and nitrogenase were found to be involved in hydrogen evolution independently in Rhodopseudomonas sp. KCTC 1437. The hydrogen formation in this bacterium was independent on light illumination and presence of N $H_4^{+}$ After establishment of conditions to measure the amount of hydrogen evolved by each of the enzymes in vivo, the several factors affecting on the hydrogen evolution, e.g. presence of gases ( $C_2$ $H_2$, $H_2$, $O_2$ or $N_2$), C/N ratio, were investigated, Hydrogenase was less inhibited than nitrogenase under $O_2$ and was active independent on the presence of $N_2$ or $C_2$ $H_2$ which were the strong inhibitor of nitrogenase. Besides, the hydrogenase activity was increased after incubation with $H_2$. And it was verified that this bacterium consume hydrogen and photoreduce $CO_2$ by hydrogenase. From above results, it is concluded that hydrogenase in Rhodopseudomonas sp. KCTC 1437 can produce hydrogen under more favorable condition that nitrogenase.e.

유동층 반응기를 이용한 프로판의 촉매 분해는 $CO_2$를 방출하지 않고 수소를 생성하는 새로운 방식이다. 카본블랙을 이용한 프로판 분해는 메탄보다 상대적으로 분해가 잘되며, 같은 온도에서 전환률이 높기 때문에 수소 생성량이 더 많다. 촉매로 사용된 카본블랙은 반응 중 생성되는 탄소의 침적에도 불구하고 8시간 이상 촉매의 활성이 유지되어 전환율이 일정하게 유지되었다. 프로판 촉매 분해 실험은 상압에서 600 ${\sim}$ $800^{\circ}C$ 온도 변화 실험을 수행하였고, 가스 유속 변화는 2.0 ${\sim}$ $4.0U_mf$에서 실험 조건 변화에 따른 실험을 하였다. 온도, 유속 변화에 따른 생성 가스의 몰분율과 프로판 전환율을 분석하였다. 프로판 분해에 의해 생성된 기체는 수소뿐만 아니라 메탄, 에틸렌, 에탄, 프로필렌과 분해되지 않은 프로판이 배출되었다. 수소를 제외한 여타 가스들은 고온에서 실험을 할수록 몰비가 줄어들었다. 고온에서 프로판의 전환율과 수소 수득률이 증가하였다. 프로판 분해 실험 전후의 카본블랙 표면의 변화는 FE-TEM으로 관측하였다.

Physiological conditions for hydrogen evolution by Rhodopseudomonas sphaeroides K-7 are examined. Larger amount of molecular hydrogen was evolved at $30^{\circ}C$, pH6.8-7.0 under anaerobically illuminated condition of about 12, 000 lux by the organism. The heighest rates of hydrogen evolution were observed in the culture with the organic acids such as acetate, DL-lactate or DL-malate in media containing L-glutamate as a nitrogen source. Hydrogen was also evolved from glucose with the rate of $178.9\;{\mu}l/hr/mg$ cells (dry weight). When glucose was adopted a a sole carbon source, however, conside erable time lag of about 20hours was required for hydrogen evolution. The resting cells stored at $30^{\circ}C$ under argon maintained the rate of hydrogen evolution in nearly about 90% of initial one even 40 days of storation.

원자력발전소(원전)에서 발생 가능성이 거의 없지만, 그래도 핵연료의 용융을 가져오는 중대사고가 발생하면 다량의 수소가 발생한다. 즉, 노심이 노출됨에 따라, 노심은 과열되고 핵연료 피복재인 지르코늄이 수증기와 반응을 하여 산화되면서 수소를 생성하게된다. 원자로내에서 생성된 수소는 발생된 수소는, 원자로 냉각재계통(Reactor Coolant System, RCS)이 건전하다면 RCS내에 축적되고, RCS에 누설 경로가 있다면 격납건물로 방출되어 격납건물에 축적된다.(중략)

Experiment was conducted to investigate the amount of hydrogen gas and the characteristics of organic acids production from various carbohydrates by anaerobic bacteria. The variation characteristics of organic acids and hydrogen gas production at the fermentative culture were also studied in the presence of heavy metals such as cadmium or lopper. 3.43 mole hydrogen per mole of hexose was produced when sucrose was used as a carbon source. Acetic acid and butyric acid were main products by the anaerobic fermentation. Hydrogen production rate was decreased and formation of acetic acid was increased as the concentration of heavy metals was increased in the medium. The inhibition of hydrogen production by the copper was more serious than the cadmium.
