Nanofluids, suspending nano-particles of various materials, have a good heat transfer characteristics compared with pure base fluids. For the reason, nanofluids have been considered as one of the measure to improve energy efficiency, and studied to apply on a working fluid of a high performance heat exchanger. This study tested thermal conductivities of nanofluids applying diamond nano-powder on DI water, ethylene glycol, and ethyl alcohol. Nanofluids are fabricated by matrix synthetic method, and the volume percent of diamond nano-powder contained in the base fluid are 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, and 1vol%. As a result, thermal conductivities are enhanced with applying diamond nano-power. Especially, the conductivity is highly increased up to 23% at 1vol% nanofluid applying diamond nano-powder on DI water.

The separation and purification of $TaCl_5$is indispensable in the synthetic process of $TaCl_5$by chlorination of tantalum oxide. The reaction products are mainly $TaCl_5$, $NbCl_5$, $TiCl_4$ and $FeCl_2$. However, we need to separate $TaCl_5/NbCl_5$ mixture from the reaction product, because $TaCl_5$ and $NbCl_5$ are easily separated each other by distillation or hydrogen reduction process. In this work, a comparison study was carried out between direct sequence and indirect sequence to obtain $TaCl_5/NbCl_5$ mixture from the reaction product by removing light component, $TiCl_4$ and heavy component, $FeCl_2$ using two distillation columns. It was concluded that the direct sequence gave better results than indirect sequence in the aspect of initial capital costs and the associative operating costs.

범용 열가소성 플라스틱(polyethylene(PE), polypropylene(PP), polystyrene(PS), polyethylene-terephthalate(PET), acrylonitrile-butandiene-styrene(ABS))과 폐윤활유의 동시처리 열분해반응 실험을 수행하였다. 반응실험은 40$m\ell$ 용량의 회분식 미분반응기(microreactor)를 이용한 실험과 1리터 용량의 autoclave를 이용한 실험의 두 가지로 구분하여 행하였다. 전자의 경우는 통계적 실험적계획법(statistical experimental design)의 하나인 회전계획실험(rotatable design experiments)으로서 오각형 실험계획(pentagonal experimental design)에 의거한 반응변수 실험을 수행한 후 반응표면(response surface)을 회기분석법에 의하여 분석함으로써 최대의 오일 수율을 얻을 수 있는 최적 반응조건을 추적, 결정하였다. Autoclave 반응실험의 기본적인 목적은 실제 연속공정에 있어서 열분해 반응기 거동을 모사하기 위한 전초단계로서 충분한 시료의 확보를 통하여 이 때 생성된 연로유의 체계적인 분석(비등점분포특성, 진공증류, 기체분석, 원소분석, 발열량, 비중 등)을 행함으로써 연료유 수율 및 품질을 모사하고자 하였다. 미분반응기 실험에 있어서 주 범용열가소성수지인 PE, PP 그리고 PS는 각각의 최적반응조건하에서 거의 100%에 가깝게 오일로 전환되었지만 응축수지인 PET와 그래프트공중합수지인 ABS의 오일수율은 각기 78% 및 90%로서 상대적으로 낮게 나타났다. Autoclave를 이용한 실험의 경우 혼합플라스틱을 폐유에 대하여 40wt% 혼합하여 열분해하였을 때, 80wt% 오일, 15wt% 코우크, 그리고 나머지 5wt%는 탄화수소기체(C1-C6)로 전환되었다. 진공증류(252$^{\circ}C$,2 torr) 결과, 기/액-분리도는 3으로서 이는 생성오일의 75wt%가 경질연료유(가솔린, 등유, 경유)로 회수 가능하였다.

Nickel ferrite $(Ni_{0.75}Fe_{2.25}O_4$ was synthesized by co-precipitation method in order to investigate its behavior under conditions of the reactor coolant system in pressurized light water nuclear power plants. Ammonia or potassium carbonate was used as a solution pH control agent, and aqueous ammonia or potassium carbonate solution or secondary distilled water was used as a co-precipitate washing agent. The effects of the pH control agent and the co-precipitate washing agent on the production yield on the basis of the Ni/Fe molar ratio and the particle characteristics of final products were investigated by XRD, SEM, EDX and XPS. The production yield was almost congruent with that of the initial aqueous mixture in case of using potassium carbonate as a pH control agent, while in case of using ammonia, it was quite changed. The difference seemed to be due to the effects of $Ni^{2+}{\leftarrow}NH_3$complexation in the aqueous solution and of the pH of co-precipitate washing agent.

Anion chromatographic (lC) method was developed for the determination of sulfites infoods. Sulfites refer to sulfur dioxide that was separated from a food sample by addition of acid and heating, and carried into a trapping solution by distillation. The trapping solution was applied to IC system. Sulfites was separated on an anionic separator column, HPIC-AS4A with 0.75mM $NAHCO_3/2.25mM\;Na_2CO_3$ as the eluent and determined by the use of conductivity detector. The recoveries of sulfites added to water, carrot and apple at level of 1 ppm were 99.8%, 91.6% and 83.5%, respectively. The detection limit was 0.2 ppm in the case of a 10 g sample size. All experiment could be finished within 20 minutes

Volatile flavor components in the Chinese quince fruits were trapped by simultaneous steam distillation-extraction method, and these were fractionated into the neutral, the basic, the phenolic and the acidic fraction. In the identification of carboxylic acids, the acidic fraction was methylated with diazomethane. Volatile flavor components in these fractions were analyzed by the high-resolution GC and GC-MS equipped with a fused silica capillary column. The total of one hundred and forty-five compounds from the steam volatile concentrate of the Chinese quince fruits were identified: they were 3 aliphatic hydrocarbons, 1 cyclic hydrocarbon, 4 aromatic hydrocarbons, 9 terpene hydrocarbons, 17 alcohols, 3 terpene alcohols, 6 phenols, 21 aldehydes, 7 ketones, 28 esters, 27 acids, 3 furans, 2 thiazoles, 2 acetals, 3 lactones and 9 miscellaneous ones. The greater part of the components except for carboxylic acids were identified from the neutral fraction. The neutral fraction gave a much higher yield than others and was assumed to be indispensable for the reproduction of the aroma of the Chinese quince fruits in a sensory evaluation. According to the results of the GC-sniff evaluation, 1-hexanal, cis-3-hexenal, trans-2-hexenal, 2-methyl-2-hepten-6-one, 1-hexanol, cis-3-hexenol, trans, trans-2, 4-hexadienal and trans-2-hexenol were considered to be the key compounds of grassy odor. On the other hand, esters seemed to be the main constituents of a fruity aroma in the Chinese quince fruits.

Spirulina was cultured in Selenium solution and the total concentration was determined with isotope dilution technique. Low-molecular-weight-Selenium species for the water extract of Spirulina were separated and quantified with HPLC ICP/MS. Water extraction was used first and then protein enzyme (protease XIV) was used to digest and extract for the Se species in both water extract and residue. The total Se was $414.9{\pm}4.0{\mu}g\;g^{-1}$ and 77% existed in water extract while 22% remained in residue. Se species in supernatant was mostly inorganic selenate ($222.7{\mu}g\;g^{-1}$). After hydrolysis of protein, SeCys ($15.20{\mu}g\;g^{-1}$) and SeMet ($12.13{\mu}g\;g^{-1}$) were found. In residue, SeCys and SeMet were found with little inorganic Se. After protein hydrolysis of residue, more of Selenoamino acids SeCys ($9.35{\mu}g\;g^{-1}$) and SeMet ($18.23{\mu}g\;g^{-1}$) in addition to MeSeCys ($1.5{\mu}g\;g^{-1}$) were found. It is thought that inorganic selenium is mostly adsorbed on the surface of spirulina and can be easily removed by a simple distilled water extraction while most of organo-seleniums are remained in residue.

We analyzed the particle size distributions of three commercially available Devarda's alloy (DA) products, tested the nitrate recoveries of each particle size category, and examined the amounts of DA required for 100% recovery by varying $NO_3$-N concentration from 0.5 to 10 mg. We observed that use of DA coarser than 200 mesh resulted in poor analytical recovery (<80%). While the tested alloys were considered to be fine enough (>90% of the particles were less than 100 mesh), the recovery dramatically declined from 80% to 10% in a high concentration range (4 to 10 mg N). Satisfactory recovery was obtained by increasing the amount of finer DA (less than 300 or 450 mesh). However, there was no quantitative relationship between the amount of fine DA and nitrate recovered. Generally, the amount of nitrate reduced per unit DA decreased as the recovery efficiency declined. These results suggest that a sufficient amount of DA must be determined based on particle size distribution, and that treatment of at least two levels of DA and comparison of the subsequent change in nitrate recovery is required for soils containing high levels of nitrate. In addition, further studies are encouraged to account for the observed stoichiometric dis-equivalence of recovered nitrate N per unit mass of DA.

The objectives of this study were to find out the best condition of extracting methods of limonene from citron and to determine effects of limonene on immune modulation activity by measuring cytokine secretion using RAW 264.7 mouse macrophage cells. When distilled water was used as a solvent instead of organic solvents to extract limonene from citron, addition of refluxing process to simultaneous steam distillation extraction method was found to be much effective in extracting limonene. However, it required longer extraction time than using other organic solvents. Limonene extracts showed increased IL-β and IL-6 but decreased the TNF-α gene expression in limonene concentration dependant manner. However oral administration of limonene extracts to mice did not influence significantly compared to control in in vivo experiment. It might be due to that the mice were kept in well controlled and complete environment. Limonene, a natural material from citron has been approved to have a immune-modulation activity in the present study and have a potential as a feed additive that is environmentally friendly and no harmful. Further study with protected limonene, for example, for the protection of limonene from oxidation or bypass the ruminal degradation in order consequently to increase immune-modulation activity might be useful as a further research.
