A quantitative physiological approach has been employed to estimate the metabolic parameters such as specific uptake rates of nutrients and specific production rate in continuous culture of Pseudomonas elodea for gellan gum production. The estimated values of metabolic parameters are used for process improvement. During the exponential growth phase, the specific growth rate was 0.16hr-1 in batch culture. The gellan gum concentration increased up to 0.7g dry weight/100g broth and the apparent viscosity of the culture broth was about 4,500 cp.(72hrs culture). The ratio of specific uptake rate of carbon to that of nitrogen were found to be optimum at about 3.0mg-carbon/mg-nitro-gen. With the improved medium, the maximum gellan production rate, 0.6g dry weight/1/hr, was obtained at D=0.14 hr-1. The shear stresses of culture broth were fairly well correlated with shear rates by using Casson equation and at highly viscous culture broth, oxygen transfer coefficient was greatly reduced.

Partial hydrolysed and deacetylated chitin, CHITA and CHITB as supports of immobilized enzyme were obtained by treatment of acid and base respectively. Glutaraldehyde, bifunctional reagent, was employed for crosslinking between $\beta$-glucosidase and support. Immobilized enzyme activities of CHITA-Gase and CHITB-Gase were determined with the reaction of p-nitrophenol-$\beta$-D-glucopyranoside(PNG) in batch reactor, CSTR and PFR. Their optimum temperature, pH and enzymatic characteristics including Km and Vmax values were observed with variation of the flow rates. Mass transfer coefficient(h), effectiveness factor(η), deactivation rate(kd ) of two immobilized enzymes were also examined to compare efficiency of reactors.

DO, ORP and pH values measured during SBR operation can provide information about removal reaction of organic contaminants and nutrient materials in the reactor. It is already generalized control strategy to control reaction phase time using their special patterns indicating the end of the removal reactions. However, those informations are limited to point out the end time of oxidative reaction in the aerobic phase or reductive reaction in the anoxic phase without giving quantitative value of influent loading level. In this research, a diagnosis algorithm which can estimate the loading level of carbon and ammonia as high, medium and low was developed using the basic measurements like DO, ORP, and pH. It will be possible to know the level of influent loading rate from those online measurements without experimental analysis.

Lactobacillus reuteri residing in human and animal intestines converts glycerol into reuterin (antimicrobial substance) in anaerobic condition. Attempt was made to increase production efficiency of L. reuteri by employing immobilized cells. L. reuteri was immobilized in agarose beads, which were then reacted with 250 mM glycerol solution. Batch-type production of reuterin with immobilized cells (0.5% agarose beads) lasted for about 36 h, although reuterin production decreased with passage of time. In continuous-type production, period of reuterin production with immobilized cells was extended about twofold and production ratio increased 1.5-fold (502 mM) compared with suspended cells (315 mM). Maximum concentration of reuterin reached 47 mM at 80 min after reaction with glycerol solution. Results of this study indicate that immobilization of Lactobacillus reuteri in agarose beads increased reuterin production.

Since nitrate nitrogen is quite stable in aqueous solution, considerable skill is required to remove it. Low concentrations of nitrate nitrogen are easily removed, while high concentrations of nitrate nitrogen are difficult to remove. This study is to show that nitrate nitrogen in the form of gaseous nitrogen can be removed by using zinc ball with a diameter of about 3mm and to test the removal characteristics of nitrate nitrogen under various reaction conditions. As a result of this study, the treatment efficiency of nitrate nitrogen by continuous treatment with zinc ball was about 80%. However, there is a problem that the wastewater must be maintained in an acidic atmosphere of about pH 2, and the treated wastewater must be neutralized and discharged.

The controlled synthesis of inorganic materials with a specific size and morphology is an important factor in the development of new materials in many fields, such as nanoparticles, medicine, electronics, semiconductors, pharmaceutical sand cosmetics. Solution crystallization is one of the most widely used separation processes in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. Calcium carbonate has attracted a great deal of attention in industry because of its numerous applications. The mean crystal size, crystal size distribution and morphology are important factors in the continuous crystallization process. In this study, the continuous crystallization of calcium carbonate by the calcium chloride process was investigated. The mean crystal size and crystal size distribution data were obtained by a particle size analyzer. The morphological imaging of the crystalswasper formed by SEM. Under steady state operation, the mean crystal size change was small, but increasing the input concentration and mixing rate increased the crystal size. In this operation, some aragonite was found, but the main crystal phase was calcite.

A study on the recovery of nitric and hydrofluoric acids is carried out with pulsed column extractor in order to the industrial application of this process. Firstly, from the continuous experiments about the recovery of acids using domestic stainelss steel pickling solution, it is found out that the free nitric and hydrofluoric acids are only extracted by 70% TBP and the heaby metals such as Fe, Cr and Ni are not extracted. The effectiveness of extraction and stripping generally improves as the pulse velocity(product of amplitude and frequency) is increased, optimum performance typically occuring slightly below an amplitude-frequency product which results in flooding the column because of excessive emulsification. When the pickling solution is treated by 70% TBP at a phase ratio of A/O=1/2 in the extraction and by distilled water at a phase ratio of O/A=1 in the stripping, the concentration of refined acides are 102g/$\ulcorner$ $HNO_3$and 8.8g/$\ulcorner$ HF, respectively and the recovery of $HNO_3$and HF are 90.7% and 75.2%, respectively.

On the basis of our previous research results concerning a batch Teflon coating process on the surface of basalt fiber which has superior fire-resistance and chemical resistance, we have tried to set up suitable operating conditions for continuous polytetrafluoroethylene(PTFE) coating process. The basalt fiber was continuously pre-treated with 7.5 wt%(6.5% of DPU) of triethoxytrifluoropropylsilane(TMTFPS) and then coated with 20 wt% of PTFE dispersions containing 0.25 wt% of penetrating agent sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl)sulfo succinate (DOS-Na) to get the highest tensile and loop strengths. After dipping process, the PTFE coated basalt fiber was dried under 2 m drying chamber at $120^{\circ}C$ with 12 m/min of winding speed and consequently sintered under 2 m sintering chamber at $380^{\circ}C$ for 40 s. Conclusively, PTFE coated basalt fiber whose tensile and loop strengths were to $3.4g_f/D$ and $2.3g_f/D$, respectively, applicable to high temperature sewing thread could be continuously prepared with our pilot scale process under optimum conditions.

The communication systems which include PLL may have cycle clip problem because of channel noise. The cycle slip problem occurs the synchronization loss of communication system and it may be fatal to the synchronous stream cipher system. While continuous resynchronization is used to lessen the risk of synchronization it has some problems. In this paper, we propose the method which solve the problems by using continuous resynchronization with the clock recovery technique. If the counted value of real clock pulse in reference duration is not same as that of normal state, we decide the cycle slip has occurred. The damaged clock by cycle slip is compensated by adding or subtracting the clock pulse according to the type of cycle slip. It reduced the time for resynchronization by twenty times. It means that 17.8% of data for transmit is compressed.
