Zaluzanin C is a sesquiterpene lactone isolated from Ainsliaea acerifolia, a Korean medicinal plant. In the present study, the anti-inflammatory effects of zaluzanin C were demonstrated in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated murine macrophages (RAW264.7 cells). Zaluzanin C inhibited the release of nitric oxide (NO) by alleviating the protein expression of inducible NO synthase in LPS-treated RAW264.7 cells. Furthermore, it suppressed the release of interleukin-6 induced by LPS. Zaluzanin C was also found to block the translocation of the p65 subunit of nuclear factor-kB from the cytosol to the nucleus, which is one of the underlying mechanisms of the anti-inflammatory action of zaluzanin C. These data suggest the potential of zaluzanin C in the treatment of inflammatory diseases.

This experiment was performed to enhance $CH_4$ purity of landfill gas by applying gas separator membrane for purified nitrogen gas production. 1:6 area ratios of $1^{st}$ to $2^{nd}$ membrane module was suitable for $CH_4$ recovery. After separation membrane system was installed, 249 tries were performed. Average permeability for $CH_4$ was 28.4% and for $CO_2$ was 94.3%. This can explain nitrogen gas separator membrane can be applied to collect $CH_4$ from LFG. However, nitrogen permeability only reached up to 16.5%. Therefore, the final purified landfill gas concentration was rounded up to 69.7% for $CH_4$, 4.3% for $CO_2$ and 26.0% for $N_2$. For the high degree of $CH_4$ purity, $N_2$ should be kept at least under 2.0% by controlling air inflow to landfill.

Volatilization of ammonia from N fertilizer is the major mechanism of N losses that occur naturally in all soils and is influenced by numerous soils, environmental and N fertilizer management factors. Vegetables are often damaged by $NH_3$ gas volatilized from the high rates of N fertilizer. We determined the rate of $NH_3$ volatilization from urea applied to surface of the alluvial soil (coarse silty, mixed, mesic family of Dystric Fluventic Eutrochrepts, Ihyeon series) as affected by fertilizer management factors such as rate of urea application, irrigation schedule and temperature. The $NH_3$ volatilization was triggered about 3 d after urea application and reached at maximum level in general within 15 days. Cumulative amounts of 3.0, 4.4, and 8.0 kg of $NH_3$ N after 17 d were volatilized at application rates of 200, 400, and $600kg\;N\;ha^{-1}$, respectively, which were equivalent to the N losses of 15.0, 10.9, and 13.0% of N applied. Masses of N volatilization were 5, 21, 75 and $87kg\;NH_3\;N\;ha^{-1}$ at 5, 8, 22, and 28, respectively. Total amounts of 21.3, 21.2, and $16.6kg\;N\;ha^{-1}$ were volatilized at control, 5 and 10 mm water irrigation before fertilization, respectively. However, those at 5 mm irrigation after fertilization were only $10.44kg\;N\;ha^{-1}$. Results showed that urea loss can be avoided by incorporating with the recommended level, applying when temperatures are low or irrigating immediately to carry the urea into soil.

폐기물의 플라즈마를 이용한 열분해-가스화-용융 처리공정은 청정연료 형태로 정화된 합성가스를 얻을 수 있고, 이 합성가스를 WGS 반응과 PSA 공법을 이용하면 고순도 수소로의 전환 및 회수가 가능하다. (주)애드플라텍에서는 자체 보유하고 있는 3톤/일급 플라즈마 폐기물 처리설비와 수소 정제/회수시스템을 연계하여, 페기물로부터 고순도 수소 생산($20Nm^3/h$이상)을 위한 플라즈마 폐기물 처리 추소 생산 통합시스템 개발을 진행하고 있다. 합성가스 내 질소 농도를 낮추기 위해 산소를 매질로 하는 100kw급 산소 플라즈마 토치를 제작하였다. 수소 정제/회수 시스템은 폐기물의 플라즈마 처리 후의 합성가스 생성량과 조성의 변화에 대응할 수 있도록 하였으며, WGS 반응기로 들어가는 합성가스를 가스 컴프레서를 통하여 최대 10기압으로 승압시키고, 고농도 일산화탄소의 효과적인 제거 및 열 회수 극대화가 이루어질 수 있는 최적의 가스처리 시스템으로 구현되도록 하였다. 설치 완료된 WGS 반응기의 성능시험을 플라즈마 처리설비와 연계하여 수행하였다. 합성가스 내 각각 34%와 25%의 일산화탄소 및 수소의 농도가 WGS 반응기를 거친 후, 일산화탄소는 0.1% 미만으로 제거되었으며 수소는 44%로 증가하여 WGS 반응기의 성능 수준이 매우 우수함을 확인하였다. 차기 년도에 설치/가동 예정인 수소 생산용 PSA는 최대 10기압 운전 및 상압재생 방식으로 운전되며 생산된 수소는 최소 99.99%이상의 고순도를 유지할 것으로 기대된다.

국내에서 IGCC 플랜트의 복합발전시스템의 평가는 여러 분야별로 진행되어 왔다. 크게 살펴보면 다음과 같다. 첫 번째는 가스터빈 쪽의 기술이다. 즉, 기존 천연가스를 이용하는 가스터빈을 어떻게 하면 석탄가스를 사용하는 IGCC 플랜트에 적합하게 맞출 것인가 하는 문제이다. 두 번째는 효율을 어떻게 하면 높일 수 있는가의 문제로서 석탄의 종류, 가스화 방법을 효율적으로 선택, HRSG(heat recovery steam generator)를 효율적으로 설계, 그리고 정제공정에서의 에너지 소비를 줄이는 분야였다. 세 번째는 어떻게 하면 오염을 줄일까의 문제로서 질소나 스팀 분사를 연계하여 NOx를 감소시키고 정제 공정에 사용되는 촉매를 개발한다던지 공정을 발달시키는 분야였다. 이 외에도 여러 종류의 연구가 이 분야에서 있었으나 주로 설계 분야의 연구가 주되였다. 이것은 발전소의 건설을 위한 초기 단계로서 당연한 결과일 수 있다. 그러나, 지금 IGCC 플랜트가 건설되는 과정에 있으므로 우리나라 전력계통 연계와의 문제도 생각해보아야 한다고 생각한다. 따라서 이번 연구에서는 IGCC 플랜트 운영의 불확실성이 약간이라도 존재하기에 이 플랜트가 기저발전 보다는 첨두발전 쪽이나 태양열/광발전, 풍력발전 등 다른 신재생에너지 자원처럼 독립된 전력 시스템으로 운영될 것이라 생각하고 이렇게 운영될 때는 발전소의 부하률의 변화가 심할 수 있다는 가정하에 플랜트의 부하률에 따른 석탄의 합성가스, 연료가스 전환량 및 전환효율 및 발전량 및 발전효율을 전산모사를 통해 예측해보았다.

Purification of indole contained in model coal tar absorption oil was examined by extraction-distillation-crystallization combination. The absorption oil consists of nine components such as four kinds of nitrogen heterocyclic compounds (9.2% quinoline, 2.4% iso-quinoline, 4.7% indole, 2.4% quinaldine), three kinds of bicyclic aromatic compounds (14.2% 1-methylnaphthalene, 31.8% 2-methylnaphthalene, 23.5% dimethylnaphthalene), 5.5% biphenyl and 3.3% phenyl ether. 99.5% indole was recovered by combination of formamide extraction-distillation-solute crystallization using n-hexane. Furthermore, the recovery process of indole contained in coal tar absorption oil was studied by using the experimental results obtained by each operation of this work.

We has been researched physicochemical, sensory and microbiological characteristics of salt-fermented shrimps after making them with different kinds of salts such as domestic or imported and purified or solar salt. Physicochemical characteristics of salt-fermented shrimps on color, salinity and pH which was made by 6 kinds of salt did not show any difference in the overall processing. However, in case of amino-N content, it showed the higher level of its contents at the process of Korean solar salt comparing to other. In case of microbiological, the total viable cells was detected most from the Australian solar salt during the initial stage of fermentation, but after 12-week of fermentation, the Chinese solar salt showed the largest number of total viable cells. Also, it found the Korean solar salt contained the lowest level of coliforms, while it found the highest level of coliforms contents in Chinese solar salt. However, there were no significant differences of microbiological characteristics from the salt-fermented shrimp made with 6 kinds of salt(p<0.05). As a result of sensory quality on salt-fermented shrimps, domestic salts was higher than imported. But there were no significant difference of sensory quality from the salt-fermented shrimps made with 6 different kinds of salt(p<0.05).

Forest soils mixed with organic matters (green needle, flesh needle litter and needle litter in F layer of Pinus koraiensis, and green leaf of Quercus dentata and Q. variabilis) were incubated under a constant $30^{\circ}C({\pm}1)$ for 53 days to measure the changes of inorganic nitrogen and $CO_2$ evolution rate. The results obtained were summarized as follows; 1) In the early incubation period the amounts of total inorganic nitrogen in soils by mixture of organic matters decreased rapidly because of immobilization by microbial uptake, and thereafter their amounts increased with further incubation. 2) The rate of immobilization of organic nitrogen in mixed organic matters was the highest in green needle among green needle, flesh needle litter and needle litter in F layer of P. koraiensis, but lower than that of green leaf of Q. variabilis and Q. dentata. 3) The rates of $CO_2$ evolution from soils mixed with organic matters increased sharply in the early time, and then decreased slowly with increasing time. The order of the $CO_2$ evolution rate was green leaf of Q. variabilis > green leaf of Q. dentata > green needle of P. koraiensis > flesh needle litter of P. koraiensis > needle litter of P. koraiensis in F layer from the largest to the least. 4) Nitrate nitrogen concentrations showed a tendency to increase throughout incubation time, so that their concentrations after 53 days were higher than that of ammonium nitrogen.

The extracellular and intracellular inulases from Kluyveromyces marxianus were purified and characterized. The maximum production of both inulases was achieved at stationary phase in a pH-controlled medium at pH 5 with yeast nitrogen base as organic nitrogen source. Each enzyme was concentrated by tannic acid precipitation and separated into two fractions by DEAF-cellulose chromatography. Electrophoretic analysis showed that the four fractions had three glycoprotein bards each. Only main glycoprotein band, however, had both inulase and invertase activities. There were no significant differences between two enzymes in the optimum pH and temperature. But the intracellular inulases had higher heat stability and less affinity toward inulin than the extracellular enzymes do. All the purified enzymes were considered to be exo-inulases using hydrolyzate analysis with TLC.
