연소 배가스에서 NOx 제거시 분자 분해를 위하여 Microwave Energy를 이용했다. 이는 전자파를 흡수하는 고체물질에 전자파를 조사할 때 내부로 부터 가열이 이루어지는 특성과 전파의 진동에 의한 분자내 쌍극자가 진동하는 현상을 이용하여 분자결합이 깨지는 현상을 응용한 것이다. 전자파흡수체로서 Calcined Char를 사용했으며, 표준가스로는 NO 574 ppm을 2$\ell$/min으로 통과시키면서 2450 MHz의 전자파를 조사했을 경우 95 % 이상 분해 제거가 가능했다. 보다 낮은 농도의 연소배가스에 대해서는 거의 완전한 제거가 가능하므로 대기환경오염방지에 일조할 것으로 기대된다.

Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) composed of O3 and UV were applied to degrade penicillin (PEN). The degradation efficiency was evaluated in terms of changes in the absorbance (ABS) and total organic carbon (TOC). The combination of $O_3/H_2O_2/UV$ and $O_3/UV$ showed the best performance for the reduction of ABS (100% for 9 min) and TOC (70% for 60 min) values, although the mineralization was uncompleted under the experimental condition in this study. The change in biotoxicy was monitored with Escherichia coli susceptibility and Vibrio fischeri biofluorescence. The E. coli susceptibility was eliminated completely for 9 min by $O_3/UV$, and the toxicity to V. fischeri biofluorescence was 57% reduced by $O_3/H_2O_2/UV$. For the ultimate treatment of PEN, it is suggested that an AOP using $O_3/UV$ is followed by biological treatment, utilizing the enhanced biodegradability by the AOP. During 30 min of $O_3/UV$ treatment, the $BOD_5/COD$ ratio as an indication of biodegradability showed about 4-fold increment, compared to that of using a non-treated sample. TOC removal rate for AOP-pretreated PEN wastewater increased 55% compared to that of using the non-pretreated one through an aerobic biological treatment by Pseudomonas putida for artificial wastewater containing 20 mg/L of PEN. In conclusion, $O_3/UV$ process is recommended as a pretreatment step prior to an aerobic biological process to improve the ultimate degradation of penicillin.

The nitrogen plasma thermal decomposition and recovery processes for $CHClF_2$ (Chlorodifluoromethane) refringent were investigated. The steam generator was employed to provide superheated steam reactor, supporting the decomposition reaction of refringent. Even though over 94% of R-22 was decomposed on the condition of 60 A and 9.0 kW, a higher power and specific energy density were required to achieve the complete combustion of carbon materials. In the operating condition of 60 A and 12.6 kW, $O_2$/R-22 ratio in reactants gases are a key factor to obtain much higher decomposition ratio during process. It should be noticed that injecting the mixture of $O_2$ and air was much more effective than injecting the air consisting equivalent $O_2$ amount.

According to the incresement of aging aircraft, Republic of Korea Air Force (RoKAF) conducted a teardown inspection of aircraft's EWIS (electrical wiring interconnection system) to determine the status of deterioration and the influence of failure occurrences due to it. The inspected aircraft were the retired fighter jets that had been used for more than 40 years. By analyzing defect type and the defect tendency, RoKAF can establish the necessary measures for the usage extension of their fleet and furthermore, the analysis results can be used as a basic data for the preparation of it's aircraft aging. EWIS inspection was done throughout careful visual inspection technique by removing all the ducts and pipes located in the fuselage and wings. For the aircraft wiring where no damage was found, the elongation tests were performed to determine the deterioration of wiring according to the location of the aircraft. The connectors, which is the main cause of intermittent failure, were completely disassembled and inspected for internal damage such as corrosion, abrasion, and traces of foreign objects. The detected defects were classified into 4 severity levels based on the type of damage, and the classified defects were weighted according to the criticality which may affects to it's system to establish the action plan.

Fenton's reagent is applied to directly decompose the ion-exchange resins, IRN-78 and the mixed resin with IRN-77. The newly applied procedures is to dry the resin first and the catalyst solution is completely absorbed into the resin, then a limited dose of $H_2O_2$ is introduced for an effective reaction between the reagents within the resin. As a characteristic on the decomposition of IRN-78, the resin mixture should be heated to $40^{\circ}C$ to induce the initial reaction and lag time is also needed for about 20 minutes until the main reaction occurs. The effectiveness of the decomposition is investigated using $CuSO_4,\;Cu(NO_3)_2\;and\;FeSO_4$ as a catalyst and the decomposition rate is compared depending on the concentration of each catalyst and the amount of $H_2O_2$. The most effective catalyst was found to be $FeSO_4$ for IRN-78 alone and the mixed resin with IRN-77, and $FeSO_4$ showed a special effect that the reaction was initiated without heating and a lag time. Furthermore, the optimum concentration of the catalyst for each resin and the mixed one is suggested in the view point of the amount of $H_2O_2$ needed and the stability of the decomposition reaction.

This study was performed to compare the differences in physicochemical characteristics between head and incomplete kernels separated from Ilpumbyeo, Korean rice cultivar. The contents of mineral and protein were higher in incomplete than head kernels. There was significant difference in composition of fatty acid and amino acids, which affect the taste, between two kernels. The gelatinized head kernel had the higher viscosity than incomplete kernel. The content and chain length of amylose were higher in head than incomplete kernels. Differential scanning calorimeter results revealed that head kernel had lower starting temperature, higher maximum temperature, and higher enthalpy for gelatinization than incomplete kernel. Also we could found that the hydrolysis rate by glucoamylase was higher in the head kernel than incomplete kernel.

Although the number of patients with Acanthamoeba keratitis has increased dramatically since the widespread use of contact lens, it is still very hard to cure the disease. The proteases from the Acanthamoeba were reported to play important role in the pathogenesis of keratitis. In this study, the inhibitors for extracellular serine proteases of A. castellanii were screened from the extracts of 230 mushroom samples collected from various regions of Korea. The mushrooms were extracted with methanol and water ($65^{\circ}C$). Filtered and concentrated extracts (0.3 mg/ml) were preincubated with proteases before addition of peptide substrate N-succinyl-ala-ala-pro-phe p-anilide. The selected extracts showing strong inhibitory effects were characterized. Although inhibition with single extract was not so high enough, the complete inhibition was achieved with combination of two extracts. The selected extract showed little effect on other serine proteases such as thrombin (human and bovine) and on general protease such as protease K.

Cu wire catalyst was highly reactive toward catalytic wet peroxide oxidation of the highly refractory 1,4-dioxane. While complete removal of 1,4-dioxane could be achieved with the catalyst, the removed 1,4-dioxane could not totally mineralized into $CO_2$ and $H_2O$. In accordance with the disappearance of 1,4-dioxane, formaldehyde and oxalic acid were formed gradually with reaction time and they went through maxima. At around the time of maximum concentrations of these two intermediates acetaldehyde concentration was increased drastically and showed maximum value. With the disappearance of these three intermediates, formic acid together with ethylene glycol diformate began to increase gradually. The Cu wire catalyst was proved also to be highly stable against deactivation during the reaction.

In this study, the change of water content, pH, and combustion weight on the decomposition of poly ester vinyl and high density poly ethylene were examined. The poly ester vinyl was degraded by microorganism in food wastes for 30 days, while high density poly ethylene vinyl was not degraded. Also, the poly ester vinyl was rapidly degraded after the 10 days of operation and its weight was decreased. In the combustion reaction between $300^{\circ}C$ and $600^{\circ}C$, complete combustion was performed. Due to the degradation of poly ester vinyl by microorganism in food waste, the pH was increased from 4.26 to 7.6. During of 60 days operation, poly ester vinyl was degraded over 90%.
