Stored grain insects appear frequently as grains are harvested, stored, and distributed on the market. Producers mostly depend on chemical fumigants to control and repel insect pests, but this application of chemicals may cause side effects for humans and the environment. Safer control approaches, including the use of natural products are required, and in this study, we assessed the control effect of essential oils on stored grain insects. The essential oils of 8 plant species from 6 families were tested for their fumigant toxicity and repellent effects using a Y-tube Olfactometer against Sitophilus zeamais adults. Pennyroyal and tea tree oil respectively exhibited 97% and 63% mortality at $10{\mu}{\ell}L^{-1}$ air concentration in tested fumigant toxicity. Of particular note, pennyroyal oil ($LT_{50}$, hour=3.87) showed higher adulticidal activities than tea tree oil ($LT_{50}$, hour=4.09). When assessing repellent effects, using a Y-tube Olfactometer at $10{\mu}{\ell}$/filter paper concentration, the cedarwood, cinnamon, cypress, patchouli and pennyroyal essential oils showed potent repellent activities against Sitophilus zeamais adults. Cinnamon, cypress and pennyroyal essential oils showed notably high repellent activities of 82.4%, 80.0% and 86.7%, respectively, at $1{\mu}{\ell}$/filter paper concentration.

Succinic acid ester derivatives have been used as additives for the base oil of metal working fluids and pressure working oils. In this paper, a series of succinic acid alkyl half-esters were synthesized with over 97% yields by ring-opening reaction of succinic anhydride and fatty alcohol and were soluble in 100 N base oil within 1 wt% concentration. The structures and purities of ester derivatives were confirmed by $^1H-NMR$ and FT-IR spectrum and GC analysis. Anti-corrosion properties of the esters in sea water were evaluated through ASTM D665 method and weight loss method and compared to that of succinic alkyl esters without carboxylic acid group in the molecule. As the results, anti-corrosion properties of succinic acid alkyl half-esters with carboxylic acid group were better than those of succinic acid alkyl esters without carboxylic acid group. And, Anti-corrosion properties of the esters with a shorter alkyl chain of high concentration showed better performance than those with longer alkyl chain of low concentration. Inhibition efficiency % (IE%) of the esters was over 95% in the concentration of 80 ppm and corrosion rate (CR) was below 0.3 mm/year at the same concentration. Thus, the corrosion properties of succinic acid alkyl half-esters result from the carboxylic acid groups in molecules.

Nano-emulsion with phase inversion temperature (PIT) emulsifying system was prepared to use rapeseed oil from originating Jeju in order to apply various cosmetic applications. Natural rape seed oil (NRSO) extraction was extracted using n-hexane as a solvent. NRSO extract showed a light yellowish color of viscous liquid as well as yield was $43{\pm}2.5%$. Acid value was $2.76{\pm}0.5$ and gravity was $0.89{\pm}0.05$. Droplet size of PIT-Yuche-NE with 20wt% of rapeseed oil was 50-120nm (average: $82{\pm}5.8nm$) and zeta potential was -29.5mV. It was thermodynamically good stable emulsion due to $(PEG)_{5-30}$fattyacidether. Some conclusions from the result of characteristic experiment were obtained as follows. First, the anti-oxidative activity was measured by free radical scavenging activity using DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical). Anti-oxidative activity of PIT-Yuche-NE was $37.2{\pm}6.7%$ on 10mg/mL compared with PIT-Toco-NE (Natural tocopherol nano-emulsion, $28.8{\pm}6.5%$ on 10 mg/mL) and PIT-Nokcha-NE (Green tea extract nano-emulsion, $29.6{\pm}7.2%$ on 10mg/mL). Second, the collagen synthesis activity of PIT-Yuche-NE was $148{\pm}15.2%$ compared with PIT-Toco-NE (Natural tocopherol nano-emulsion, $121{\pm}13.5%$ on 10mg/mL) and PIT-Nokcha-NE (Green tea extract nano-emulsion, $95{\pm}12.7%$ on 10mg/mL). Third, the effectiveness of moisturizing activity of Yuche-CRM with Aramo-TS after 6 hours increase $47{\pm}3.9%$ (*p-value￡0.05, n=7) whereas Both Toco-CRM was $30{\pm}5.2%$ (*p-value￡0.05, n=7) and Nokcha-CRM was $35{\pm}4.5%$. Therefore, Yuche-CRM has higher moisturizing effect than other two creams. Finally, Nano-emulsion stabilizing rapeseed oil using PIT emulsifying system of this study can be used to apply cosmetics industry and pharmaceutical industry.

The solubility and miscibility measurement apparatus has been developed and used to obtain data for refrigerant/oil mixture. The solubility and miscibility data for R-134a/46 ISO VG Polyalkylen Glycol(PAG) oil mixture are obtained over the temperature range from -20 to 6$0^{\circ}C$ with a 1$0^{\circ}C$ interval and the oil concentration range from 0 to 90wt%. Using the experimental data, an empirical model is developed to predict the solubility relations for R-134a/PAG oil mixture at equilibrium. The average root-mean-square deviation between measured data and calculated results from the empirical model is 4.2%. Raoult's rule and Flory-Noggins theory are also used to predict mixture behavior. Immiscibility is observed for R-134a/46 ISO VG PAG oil mixture at low oil concentrations of 4.6, 10.1, and 20.4wt%.

산업발달에 따라 불가피하게 생성되며, 대기오염의 주종을 이루면서 인체에 가장 유해한 분진입자는 산업체의 오일(oil) 및 석탄연소 보일러, 자동차, 제철/제강 및 시멘트 플랜트 등으로 부터 배출되는 미세입자(fine particle)들이며, 앞으로 이들의 제어에 관한 연구가 지속적인 관심의 대상이 될 것이다. 한 예로, 석탄연소 화력발전소로부터 1$\mum$ 이하의 입자들의 배출량은 무게비로는 1% 이하이지만 입자수의 비율에서는99%를 차지하고 있다. 이들은 매우 높은 중금속 함유량을 지니고 있기 때문에 인체의 호흡시 심각한 문제를 유발시킬 뿐만 아니라, 이러한 미세입자들은 대기중에 부유하고 있다가 비(rain)에 의하여 세정되어 수질오염까지도 유발시킨다. 1992년 2월 공포된 대기환경보전법 시행규칙에 따라 분진배출 허용기준이 장기 입법예고 되므로서 1995년 1월과 1999년 1월의 2단계에 걸쳐 현재 적용 받고 있는 분진배출 규제치보다 훨씬 낮은 선진국 수준의 분진배출 규제가 요구되고 있으며, 분진이 배출되는 인근지역주민의 민원에 대처하기 위해서는 연돌로부터 분진배출이 눈에 감지되지 않을 정도까지 분진배출농도를 관리해야할 필요성이 높아지고 있다. 이에 따라 집진장치의 효율도 중유전소 Boiler 의 경우는 90% 이상, 석탄전소 Boiler의 경우는 99.5% 이상의 고효율이 요구되고 있다.

This study investigated exposures to oil mist obtained from an cutting oil manufacture shop and 5 machining shops and also analysis of some oils. The results were that geometric average concentrations of oil mist were $0.29 mg/m^3$, which was less than current $TLV(5mg/m^3$) in Korea. The proper case of either type of system will ensure that atmospheric concentrations of oil mist in machine shops will be within the TLV. It should be remembered, however, that this TLV was established before there was any suggestion that in the inhalable of oil mist might rarely be carcinogenic, and so it seems prudent to keep atmospheric content as low as possible. The analysis of insoluble cutting oils with GC-MSD showed that considerable suspected PAHs were contained. But soluble cutting oil(KSM-W2) didn't almost contain PAHs.

제철산업과 광산산업에서 난연성 압축유로써 Water-in-oil(W/O) 에멀젼의 사용이 점차 증가하고 있다. 이러한 관점에서, 기유의 점도, 물과 오일의 배합비율 및 음이온성 emulsifier의 농도 변화에 따른 W/O 에멀젼의 점도, 안정성 및 내마모성을 조사하였다. 에멀젼의 점도는 기유의 점도에 비례해서 증가하였으며 물의 배합비율에 따라 지수함수적으로 증가하였다. 에멀젼의 안정성은 에멀젼 점도와 대수함수 관계임을 보여주고 있다. 에멀젼 점도와 다른 요소와의 상관관계를 매우 복잡하며 이러한 상관관계를 해결하기 위해서는 더 많은 연구가 진행되어야 한다. 에멀젼의 점도는 에멀져의 내마모성에 거의 영향이 없으며 기유의 점도에 따라 영향을 받으며 물의 배합비가 너무 커지게 되면 마모에 심각한 나쁜 결과를 초래하였다.

This study was carried out to evaluate the effects of initial concentration on composting of diesel-contaminated soil. Silt loam was used in this study. Target contaminant, diesel oil, was spiked at about 2,000, 4,000, and 10,000mg/kg of dry soil, respectively. Mix ratio of soil to sludge was 1:0.3 as wet weight basis. Temperature was maintained at $20^{\circ}C$ Volatilization loss of TPH was 0.7-3.5% of the initial concentrations. Volatilization loss of TPH was not increased in proportion to the initial concentration. After 30 days of operation, 86% and 94% of the initial concentrations at about 2,000 and 10,000mg TPH/kg were biodegraded. Normal alkanes were degraded more rapidly than TPH. The compounds of C12 to C14 were volatilized greatly among n-alkanes. The first order degradation rate constants of about 2,000, 4,000, and 10,000mg TPH/kg were 0.079, 0.069, and 0.061/day, respectively. Produced-$CO_2$ and degraded-TPH were correlated highly regardless of the initial TPH concentration(r = 0.97-0.99).

Purpose: Elevated serum phosphorus and potassium levels are a major problem for hemodialysis (HD) patients. Hyperphosphatemia and hyperkalemia are closely related to intake of dietary phosphorus and potassium. Methods: This study was conducted in order to investigate the effects of food consumed on serum phosphorus and potassium levels in 48 HD patients (20 males and 28 females). We collected anthropometric data, biochemical parameters, and dietary data of the subjects. Dietary data for usual intake were obtained by use of a food-frequency questionnaire (FFQ) consisting of 21 food items. Results: The mean body mass index (BMI) was $22.2{\pm}3.0kg/m^2$, mean serum phosphorus level was $4.50{\pm}1.52mg/dl$, and mean serum potassium level was $4.74{\pm}0.73mEq/l$. Hyperphosphatemia (> 4.5 mg/dl) was found in 45.8% of subjects, and hyperkalemia (> 5.0 mEq/l) in 35.4%. Subjects who took medication only were 56% of total, and those who took medication with dietary therapy were 27%. Patients with medication and dietary therapy showed significantly lower serum phosphorus levels compared to patients with medication only (p < 0.05). Mean duration of HD was $7.9{\pm}7.3$ years and it showed positive correlation with serum potassium levels (p < 0.05). Serum phosphorus levels showed positive correlation with intake of mixed grains and soybean milk (p < 0.05). Serum potassium levels showed positive correlation with intake of mixed grains (p < 0.01), potatoes, fish, and high-potassium vegetables (p < 0.05). On the other hand, intake of white rice showed negative correlation with serum potassium levels (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The results of our study suggest that intake of white rice rather than mixed grains is an important factor in sustaining normal serum phosphorus and potassium levels. In addition, limiting intake of soybean milk, potatoes, and fish to under three serving per week is recommended. Finally, conduct of a strict dietary therapy along with medical treatment is desirable because inappropriate food intake increases serum phosphorus and potassium levels to a higher than normal range.
