A flexile fiber filter developed in Korea was operated to evaluate the effect of packing density and filtration velocity on particle removal. The pilot-scale fiber filter with 40 cm of diameter and 2 m of height was packed with polyamide fibers of which mean diameter was approximately 0.93 mm. While the filtration velocity was maintained at 325 m/hr, the particle removal efficiency was compared with various of packing density from $70kg/m^3\;to\;100kg/m^3$. On the contrary, when the packing density was maintained at $70kg/m^3$, the particle removal efficiency was examined with various filtration velocity from 65 m/hr to 400 m/hr. The filtration pressure increased with the packing-density increase. Below $80kg/m^3$ of packing density, the removal efficiencies of turbidity ad SS were less than 30% and 50%, respectively. At $100kg/m^3$ of packing density, the removal efficiencies of them were nearly 45% and 60% respectively. The filtration pressure increased with the filtration-velocity increase. A better removal efficiency was obtained at a lower filtration velocity, removal efficiency of them were 73% at 65 m/hr. Consequently, The filtration velocity was the more important factor to enhance the particle removal efficiency compared with the packing density in fiber filter.

Of the various types of dye that can be used to apply polyamide fibers, acid dyes and pre-metallised acid dyes are great in use so far. However, since these acid dyeings suffer from dye loss during laundering, recourse to an aftertreatment is usually necessary to achieve adequate fastness to washing. In the case of reactive dyes, the characteristically high washfastness of dyeings comes with the concomitant advantages of brightness and low environmental impact. Despite the obvious advantages, the commercialization of reactive dyes for polyamide fibers has not gained widespread success. In this context, the rewards for approach are likely to be considerable. Heterobifunctional reactive dyes were applied to polyamide fibers using various conditions. Optimum conditions and fixation were determined. The forms in which the vinylsulphone and hydrolyzed moieties were examined using HPLC-Mass. In addition, it was found that the extent of the washfastness secured, in terms of both change in color and staining of adjacent multifiber was being acceptable.

In this study, coffee waste was recycled into nitrogen-doped porous carbon fibers as an active material for high-energy EDLC (Electric Double Layer Capacitors). The coffee waste was mixed with polyvinylpyrrolidone and dissolved into dimethylformamide. The mixture was then electrospun to fabricate coffee waste-derived nanofibers (Bare-CWNF), and carbonization process was followed under a nitrogen atmosphere at 900℃. Similar to Bare-CWNF, the as-synthesized carbonized coffee waste-derived nanofibers (Carbonized-CWNF) maintained its fibrous form while preserving the composition of nitrogen. The electrochemical performance was analyzed for carbonized coffee waste (Carbonized-CW)-, carbonized PAN-derived nanofibers (Carbonized-PNF)-, and Carbonized-CWNF-based electrodes in the operating voltage window of -1.0-0.0V, Among the electrodes, Carbonized-CWNF-based electrodes exhibited the highest specific capacitance of 123.8F g^-1 at 1A g^-1 owing to presence of nitrogen and porous structure. As a result, nitrogen-contained porous carbon fibers synthesized from coffee waste showed excellent electrochemical performance as electrodes for high-energy EDLC. The experimental designed in this study successfully demonstrated the recycling of the coffee waste, one of the plant-based biomass that causes the environmental pollution into high-energy materials, also, attaining the ecofriendliness.

결과적으로 시판 피마자박을 성장하는 병아리 혹은 기타 단위 동물의 단백질 사료로서 이용하기위해서는 다시 제독처리해야함을 알 수 있다. 제독처리 방법 중에서도 끓는 물로 여과하여 독소를 축출하는 방법이 가장 좋고 이 방법이 독소를 전부는 아닐지라도 대부분 제거시키는 방법이다. 피마자박의 아미노산조성을 볼때 그 생물가가 낮은 주요 원인이 라이신 트립토판 그리고 S 함유 아미노산이 부족하기 때문임을 알 수 있다. 제독처리한 피마자박의 라이신과 메치오닌 그리고 트립토판을 첨가하면 대두단백+메치오닌(0.2$\%$) 만큼 병아리성장에 유효함을 알 수 있다. 다른 필수 아미노산의 첨가는 별 효과가 없고 어분 대두단백 혹은 난백의 첨가도 부족한 아미노산을 첨가해 주는 것만큼 효과적이 아니었다. 라이신이 가장 먼저 부족되는 것이고 다음 트립토판이다. 메치오닌은 NRC 권장량의 60$\%$ 밖에 안되나 실제로 피마자박에 적절히 함유한다. 이것은 NRC 권장량이 너무 높다는 스콧트와 그의 동료의 주장과 일치하고 있다. 체중변화를 볼 때 흥미있는 것은 피마자박에 어분을 첨가하면 각 그룹간 병아리 체중의 차이가 심한데 어분대신 아미노산을 첨가하면 그 차이가 현저히 감소한다. (25$\%$와 15$\%$) 이러한 현상은 아미노산이 부족한 사료를 먹으면 성장에 필요한 아미노산 요구량이 개체별로 차이가 있기 때문일 것이다. 피마자박에 아미노산을 첨가하면 단백질 최종이용율이 현저히 증가하나, 이정도는 대두단백+메치오닌(0.2$\%$)에 비하면 이용율이 낮은데 그 이유는 아마 피마자박중의 리그닌과 조섬유 함량이 높기 때문일 것이다. 피마자박의 사료는(사료중 40$\%$) 조섬유가 약 15$\%$나 되어 이것 때문에 사료 섭취량이 대두단백사료 보다 증가하게 되고 사료섭취량이 많으면 단백질 섭취도 많게 되어 피마자박의 단백질 이용율이 낮게 된다. 즉 최종 단백질 이용율은 단백질 섭취량과 역비례한다. 만약 피마자박의 조섬유를 일부 혹은 전부 제거하기만 한다면 양계및 기타 단위 동물의 단백질 사료 자원으로서 그 가치가 훨씬 높아질 것이다. 더욱 희망적인 것은 피마자박 생산자측에 의하면 피마자씨 껍질의 상당한 부분을 제거하는 것은 가능하다고 한다.

In order to select more proper plants for phytoextraction at the heavy metal polluted areas, 11 species of non-edible plants were cultivated at the cadmium(Cd) and Lead(Pb) treated soils and analyzed the content of the absorbed Cd and Pb in each part of plants. Plants include three fibers(Linum usitatissimum, Cannabis sativa, Gossypium spp.), three flowers(Calendula officinalis, Rhododendron lateritium, Portulaca grandiflora), and five trees(Pinus thunbergii, Magnolia kobus, $Populus\;nigra\;{\times}\;P.$ maximowiczii, Euonymus japonica, Fraxinus rhynchophylla). Yield of tree species were higher than that of fiber and flower species. Cd and Pb were highly accumulated in root rather than leaves and stems. The Cd content of plants was in the order Portulaca grandiflora > Calendula officinalis > Gossypium spp. > Linum usitatissimum, Pb was Cannabis sativa > Linum usitatissimum > Fraxinus rhynchophylla. Total absorbed Cd by each plant was in the order $Populus\;nigra\;{\times}\;P.$ maximowiczii > Euonymus japonica > Rhododendron lateritium, but Pb was $Populus\;nigra\;{\times}\;P.$ maximowiczii > Rhododendron lateritium > Euonymus japonica. Total absorbed Cd and Pb contents in plants were negatively correlated with the residual Cd and Pb in the treated soils. It was estimated that $Populus\;nigra\;{\times}\;P.$ maximowiczii, Euonymus japonica, Fraxinus rhynchophylla, and Rhododendron lateritium were the most effective species for phytoextraction in the polluted area considering yield and heavy metal uptake.

At present, there are several problems related with sand mat which is used as a way to accelerate consolidation settlement, to act like an underground drainage layer and to increase trafficability simultaneously. First of all, the unbalance of the demand and supply of sand is one of the biggest problems, which causes not only price rise but also delay of the term of the total construction work. Secondly, the damage of ecosystem and scenery is triggered by thoughtless sand dredging or mining. So, the need that sand mat should be replaced with a new environmentally friendly material has been increased. Fiber mat may be one of the proper materials that suits the need. Therefore, we intended to compare the drainage properties of sand mat with those of fiber mat by experimental model tests. On the basis of the test results, fiber mat took shorter period of consolidation than sand mat and the amount of settlement in the farmer showed a little bit bigger than in the latter. As a conclusion, the substitutability of sand mat with fiber mat could be placed highly in view of drainage efficiency. Furthermore, when fiber mat is used, it has an advantage that spoiled soil of the construction site or nearby site can be used for the purpose of increasing trafficability in addition to a role of drainage layer.

The metal complex dyes that are mainly used for good color fastness in dyeing amide fibers with highly concentrated colors usually contain toxic chromium. The remaining dye in th dyebath containing $Cr^{6+}$ causes not only environmental problems but also serious damages to human health. In this study, we applied reactive dyestuff for dyeing wool and nylon in order to substitute heavy metal dyestuff. The dyeing properties of reactive dyestuff in fibers as well as their absorption rates and fastness according to color concentration were investigated. By analyzing the quantity of heavy metals and toxic amine of reactive dyestuff, we investigated their harmfulness trends quantitatively. By comparing the reactive dyes with traditional metal complex dyes, we tried to find out the possibility of the reactive dye being a clean dyes in the future.

Exhaustion increase using cationic dyes on polyamide fibers are not easy work due to the limited amounts of the functional end groups(-COOH) in the substrates. Therefore, to enhance dye exhaustion, polyamide fibers are required to be modified onto desired surface properties of the fibers using anionic bridging agent. In this study, synthetic tanning agent for pre-treatment finishing and cationic dye(berberine chloride) for dyeing of polyamide fibers were used. For surface modification, polyamide fibers were pre-treated with synthetic tanning agent at various concentrations and temperatures. The increased concentration and temperatures of synthetic tanning agents had resulted in exhaustion increase. The modified polyamide substrates skewed increased cationic dyeing exhaustions and the corresponding dyeing results from treated samples represented higher exhaustion properties than those of non-treated counterpart. The increased dyeing effects of cationic dye can be attributed to the supplied ionic interaction and electrostatic attraction sites on the surface of polyamide substrates.

Condition and properties of composites with different chemical structure of epoxy matrix were observed after saline solution treatment. Epoxy was used as matrix and the flexibility was controlled by using 2 typed-epoxies and 3 types hardeners (amine, acid anhydride and amide). Saline water treatment was conducted with 6 wt% NaCl solution at $60^{\circ}C$ for 0, 15, and 30 days. Cross section was observed and interfacial and mechanical and properties was evaluated. Amine type exhibited the highest crosslinking density and mechanical and interfacial properties whereas water absorbance was lowest. It is because that the water molecules can be hardly penetrate into the epoxy matrix or the interface between epoxy and glass fiber and it leads to saline water resistance of composites.

In order to find out the optimum seeding date of flax. this study was investigated ecological characters, yield components and yield of five varieties(Wiera, Taijungsun ＃$^1$, Storment Goss, CI 1763, 99403-Fiber). As seeding date was delayed, the maturing date was delayed also and stem length was longest in March 10 seeding but it grew short in the late seeding. Oil content was increased most in March 10 seeding, that is, increased to 34% in Taijungsun ＃$^1$, 32% in storment Goss, 30% in Wiera and 26% in 99403-Fiber, and it was decreased in the late seeding. Stem yield and seed yield were heaviest in March 10 seeding, and it was light in the late seeding, Judging from the results reported above. in optimum seeding date of flax seemed to be before the March 10.
