This study was performed to investigate the effect of protein intake on kidney development and function in growing rats. Fourty-two male Spraque-Dawley rats of weighing $97.5\pm1.9g$ were divided into 3 groups and given 5%, 15% or 50% casein diets for 6 weeks. Body weight gain was higher in the 50% group. The kidney weight was selectively affected more by the level of dietary protein compared to the other organs. DNA and RNA content were significantly higher in the 15% and 50% groups than in the 5% group but the differences disappeared when DNA and RNA were expressed per g of kidney weight. Protein and protein/g kidney content were increased with increasing level of protein in diet. GFR/animal and GFR/100gB. W. were significantly higher in the 50% group compared to the 5% and 15% groups. There was no differences in PAH clearence and RBF. Osmolality was not affected by dietary protein level. BUN and urinary nitrogen excretion were increased with the increasing dietary protein level. Although urinary Ca excretion was not significantly difference among 3 groups, the rats in the 5% group showed 30% less Ca excretion compared to the other groups. Above results suggest that dietary protein level has a great effect on the kidney weight and GFR in growing rats. Especially the hyperfiltration inhanced by high protein diet may accelerate the kidney senescence.

The objective of this study was to verify whether SCB(Slurry Composting & Bio-filtration) system can be applied for the treatment of anaerobic digestion(AD) wastewater and also, to identify the most effective set among three filtration compost beds tested. Results can be summarized as these; (a) When AD wastewater was sprayed on the top of beds which were mainly composed of sawdust and/or other media and, subsequently, filtrates collected and analyzed, there were large drop in the values of Electric Conductivity(EC), Total Suspended Solid(TSS), Biochemical Oxygen Demand(BOD), and Chemical Oxygen Demand(COD). In contrast, Total Nitrgen(T-N) and Total Phosphorus(T-P) were progressively elevated. We consider these changes as positive if the filtrate are to be utilized as liquid fertilizer. (b) When three sets of filtration beds (T1, T2, T3) were compared for their effectiveness, no significant difference was found among them. These indicate that expensive sawdust can be replaced in part with cheaper media such as woodchip, rice husks, or others. (c) At early stage of operation (within 20 days), BOD in filtrates were maintained at high level probably due to the lack of microbial activity. During the same stage, T-N, T-P was at low level but, were elevated to higher levels thereafter. These data, when combined, indicate that the filtration system needs at least a couple of weeks for the optimized microbial functioning. (d) The temperatures of the experimental beds were progressively dropped as the experiment continued through the fall season, although filtration effectiveness was not noticeably influenced.

Ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis were applied to produce soy-oligosaccharides from yeast fermented bean cooking water (BCW). The recovered total sugar by the ultrafiltration of bean cooking water on a cutoff molecular weight membrane of 20,000 and 5,000 was over 80%. The protein was removed up to 38% from the non-fermented BCW, 31% by S. cerevisiae KCTC 7039 and 21% by H. anomala KFRI 626. The recovery of oligosaccharides was above 70%, although fermented or non fermented bean cooking water was different on the recovery of oligosaccharides. The ultrafiltrated BCW was concentrated by reverse osmosis with respect to the volume concentration ratio (VCR). Total solid, total sugar, ash and protein contents increased up to VCR of 3.5 and then levelled off, showing that the optimum VCR was 3.5.

Clarified apple juice was prepared using different clarification methods including centrifugation, ultrafiltration (UF), and combined treatment (CT). Effects of clarification methods as well as other qualify parameters were investigated Clarification was clearly improved with an increase in centrifugation speed and towering temperature. Especially, lowering the temperature led to a decrease in turbidity values at 5,000 rpm. The optimum condition for centrifugation process was $5^{\circ}C$ and 10,000 rpm, respectively. UF and CT were very effective to produce clarified apple juice. The optimum condition of UF process was $45^{\circ}C$ and 150 kPa considering flux and turbidity. L*-values were increased while a*-values were decreased significantly after clarification regardless of methods (P<0.05). Vitamin C was most retained in the clarified samples using CT.

하수재이용에서 전처리 막여과 공정은 완벽한 고액분리로 인해 후단 역삼투막 손상을 줄일 수 있는 공정으로 각광을 받고 있다. 일반적으로 막여과 공정은 여과->물리세정->충진->여과 와 같은 제막사에서 제공하는 운전 사이클에 맞춰 적용하고 있으며 유지세정 역시 1회/일 또는 1회/주 단위로 정해진 범위에서 수행되고 있다. 이러한 운전 방식은 시시각각 변화하는 막 유입수질에 적절하게 대응하지 못해 장기적으로 막오염 발생에 따른 생산수량 감소는 물론 막오염 제거를 위한 화학세정 주기가 짧아져 전체적인 생산수량이 감소하는 원인이 되고 있다. Raffine(2012)에 따르면 가역적 막오염의 경우 Flux 증가에 큰 영향이 없으나 비가역적 막오염은 Flux 증가에 따라 급격히 증가한다고 보고하고 있으며 이는 제한된 분리막 면적당 처리수 생산량을 증가시키기 위해 비가역적 막오염의 발생량을 줄이는 것이 필요하며 이를 위해 주기적인 강화역세(Chemical Enhanced Backwashing, CEB)가 도입되고 효율적인 유지세정 방법에 대한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 당사에서는 일산에 있는 I 수질복원센터내에 25 m³/일 규모의 막여과 하수재이용 파일롯 플랜트를 설치하고 막여과 하수재이용 공정의 운영 효율을 높이기 위하여 W사에서 개발한 IntelliFluxControl(IFCr) 소프트웨어를 이용하여 하수재이용 막여과 성능을 확인 하였다. IFCr은 실시간으로 변화하는 수질에 따른 막오염 정도에 따라 역세 강도 및 빈도와 CEB 적용 정도를 변화시켜 분리막 운전의 효율을 높일 수 있는 운영 소프트웨어이다. I 수질복원센터의 하수 방류수를 막여과 유입수로 적용하여 40 LMH를 기준으로 IFCr을 적용하지 않은 경우 23.7일 운전 가능하였으나 IFCr을 적용한 경우 50일 연속 운전이 가능하였다. 또한 역세척수를 운전 기간 동안 약 50 m³을 사용한 반면 IFCr을 적용한 경우 이에 절반 수준인 24.1 m³ 만 사용하여 회수율이 91%에서 95%로 증가한 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 본 연구의 결과는 기존의 제막사에서 제시하는 막 공정 운영방법을 탈피하여 분리막이 갖고 있는 성능을 최대한 끌어 올릴 수 있는 연구 결과라고 판단되며 향후 스케일 업 연구를 통해 실제 플랜트에 적용 가능성이 확인 될 경우 시설의 설치 막모듈 개수와 유지관리비를 동시에 절감할 수 있는 기술이 될 수 있을 것이다

The compost leachate was dark-colored solution that leaches out of the bottom of the compost pile. The compost leachate was rich in nutrients and can potentially used in plant culture. In the organic production, commercial liquid fertilizer was used to insure the availability of nutrients during the formation of the yield. The cost of supplemental liquid fertilizer could be reduced by developing a fertilizer based on animal fertilizer. This experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of different combination of compost leachate and conventional inorganic solution in hydroponic culture for lettuce growth. Six different treatments were applied. The compost leachate(CL) and nutrient solution(NS) were mixed by six different mixing ratios of 0:100, 20:80, 40:60, 60:40%, 80:20 and 100%:0% based on nitrogen content. The chemical nutrient solution was the solution of National Horticulture Research Station for the growth of leaf lettuce. The concentration of nutrient solution was adjusted 1.5 mS/cm in EC. The compost leachate was low in phosphorus(P), calcium(Ca), magnesium(Mg), but rich in potassium(K). The plant height of lettuce treated with CL 20+NS 80% was similar with 100% NS of control plot. Plant height was highest in the plot of CL 20+NS 80%. The treatment of 100% compost leachate was lowest in the growth characteristics of leaf lettuce. Number of leaf was very low in 100% compost leachate compared with plot of chemical nutrient solution. In the beginning of growth stage, SPAD value was reduced in plot treated with CL100%, but CL20+NS80% plot was higher compared to 100% compost leachate. SPAD value of leaf lettuce leaves was decreased as the amount of CL was increased. The dry weight of lettuce were 107.4, 104.2g in plot of NS 100% and CL 20%+NS80%, respectively. The leaf number and plant weight were decreased at high application plots of compost leachate. The leaf lettuce showed lowest in the plot treated with 100% compost leachate, and the growth of lettuce severely decreased after application of 100% CL treatment. The results showed that compost leachate can be use as liquid fertilizer for the organic hydroponic production. The mixture solution of 20% of compost leachate and 80% of nutrient solution could be used as a nutrition solution in hydroponic culture of leaf lettuce. Our studies have shown that is possible to produce using compost leachate, although growth is slower than when using a conventional inorganic hydroponic solution.

A submerged biofilm sequencing batch reactor (SBSBR) process, which liquor was internally circulated through sandfilter, was designed, and performances in swine wastewater treatment was evaluated under a condition of no external carbon source addition. Denitrification of NOx-N with loading rate in vertical and slope type of sandfilter was 19% and 3.8%, respectively, showing approximately 5 times difference, and so vertical type sandfilter was chosen for the combination with SBSBR. When the process was operated under 15 days HRT, 105L/hr.m3 of internal circulation rate and 54g/m3.d of NH4-N loading rate, treatment efficiencies of STOC, NH4-N and TN (as NH4-N plus NOx-N) was 75%, 97% and 85%, respectively. By conducting internal circulation through sandfilter, removal performances of TN were enhanced by 14%, and the elevation of nitrogen removal was mainly attributed to occurrence of denitrification in sandfilter. Also, approximately 57% of phosphorus was removed with the conduction of internal circulation through sandfilter, meanwhile phosphorus concentration in final effluent rather increased when the internal circulation was not performed. Therefore, It was quite sure that the continuous internal circulation of liquor through sandfilter could contribute to enhancement of biological nutrient removal. Under 60g/m3.d of NH4-N loading rate, the NH4-N level in final effluent was relatively low and constant(below 20mg/L) and over 80% of nitrogen removal was maintained in spite of loading rate increase up to 100g/m3.d. However, the treatment efficiency of nitrogen was deteriorated with further increase of loading rate. Based on this result, an optimum loading rate of nitrogen for the process would be 100g/m3.d.

Cardiopulmonary bypass(CPB) in children is associated with the accumulation of body water after cardiac operation, as a consequence of an inflammatory capillary leak. Following work by Elliott in 1991, modified ultrafiltration(MUF) was introduced after bypass as a means of hemoconcentrating patients and a potential way of removing water from the tissues. We have carried out a prospective randomized study of 20 children undergoing open heart surgery, comparing MUF with nonfiltered controls. MUF was carried out for a mean of 18.9 minutes after completion of CPB to a hematocrit of 37.1%(mean). The mean water volulme removed by the ultrafiltration was 38.4 ml/kg and the mean blood volume retransfused from the oxygenator during the ultrafiltration was 32.1 ml/kg. Fluid balance, hemodynamics, hematocrit, osmolarity and dosage of drug treatment were recorded for 4∼12 hours postoperatively. The results were analyzed using Student t-test and ANOVA, comparing controls(n=10) to MUF(n=10). Blood loss(ml/kg/24hr) was 14.5(mean) in MUF versus 13.7 in controls; blood transfused(ml/kg/24hr) 6.6 in MUF versus 15.2 in controls; plasma transfused(ml/kg/24hr) 65.7 in MUF versus 59.6 in controls. There was rise in arterial blood pressure and hematocrit during MUF. Percent rise of systolic blood pressure was 28.8% in MUF versus 18.7% in controls(p=0.366); percent rise of diastolic blood pressure was 28.8% in MUF versus 8.5% in controls(p=0.135); and percent rise of mean blood pressure was 36.2% in MUF versus 8.2% in controls (p=0.086). Percent rise of hematocrit was 40.0% in MUF versus 23.5% in controls(p=0.002). There was no significant difference in the inotropic requirement and the postoperative serum osmolarity between two groups. The number of days on the ventilator, the duration of stay in the intensive care unit, and the postoperative hospital stay were not significantly different between the two groups.
