최근 국내 대부분의 원자력 발전소 2차 계통 중 복수 탈염설비의 운전 시 pH를 제어하기 위해 에탄올아민(Ethanolamine, ETA)를 사용하고 있으나 ETA를 적용한 후 발생하는 폐수에 의한 방류수의 화학적 산소요구량(COD) 및 총 질소(TN)의 증가는 심각한 환경적인 문제를 발생 시킨다. ETA가 강이나 하천과 같은 수계로 유입되면 자연적으로 생분해되기 힘들고, 분해부산물이 증가되어 수질을 악화시킬 수도 있다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 본 연구에서는 폐경석, 제강슬래그, 저회를 혼합하여 제올라이트화(zeolitization)과정을 통해 새로운 형태의 저비용, 고효율의 ETA 처리용 복합흡착제를 제조하였다. 최적의 흡착 및 이온교환능력을 갖는 복합흡착제는 폐경석, 제강슬래그 및 저회의 혼합조성비를 Mixture Analysis 통계법을 통해 도출하였다.

This study was conducted to investigate the characteristics of CO oxidation by NO poisoning in Pt/TiO₂ catalyst prepared by wet impregnation method and calcined at 400 ℃. In order to confirm the NO poisoning effect of the Pt/TiO₂ catalyst, the change of reaction activity was observed when NO was injected during the CO+O₂ reaction where it was ascertained that the CO conversion rate rapidly decreased below 200 ℃. Also, CO conversion was not observed below 125 ℃. Recovery of initial CO conversion was not verified even if NO injection was blocked at 125 ℃. Accordingly, various analyses were performed according to NO injection. First, as a result of the TPD analysis, it was confirmed that NO pre-adsorption in catalyst inhibited CO adsorption and conversion desorption from adsorbed CO to CO₂. When NO was pre-adsorbed, it was confirmed through H₂-TPR analysis that the oxygen mobility of the catalyst was reduced. In addition, it was validated through FT-IR analysis that the redox cycle (Pt²⁺→Pt⁰→Pt²⁺) of the catalyst was inhibited. Therefore, the presence of NO in the Pt/TiO₂ catalyst was considered to be a poisoning factor in the CO oxidation reaction, and it was determined that the oxygen mobility of the catalyst is required to prevent NO poisoning.

The efficacy of nitrifying sludge existed in biological nutrient removal process was examined for possible removal of endocrine disrupting chemical(EDC) in the effluent of wastewater treatment plant. Some of ammonia oxidizing bacteria causes ammonia oxidation mediated by ammonia monooxygenase(AMO) activity, which has low substrate specificity resulting in cometablic degradation of several chemicals. In this study, the removal of three model EDCs such as bisphenol A(BPA), nonylphenol(NP) and dibutyl phthalate(DBP) was studied in batch cultures using nitrifying sludge, BOD-oxidizing sludge with low nitrifying activity, and sterilized sludge. Nitrifying sludge showed higher initial removal rates in all batches of three EDCs when it was fed with ammonium as an energy source. The acclimation time was required for the removal of EDCs in batches using BOD-oxidizing sludge or nitritefed nitrifying sludge. That retardation seemed to attribute to the slow growth of cells using the EDCs while ammonium-fed nitrifying sludge could degrade EDCs through simultaneous cooxidation with ammonia oxidation. Sterilized sludge was also tested under the same conditions in order to find the contribution of physical adsorption to the removal of EDCs. About 10~20% of initial EDCs dose was removed when using sterilized sludge. Thus the biological activity is likely to play major role for the degradation of BPA, NP, and DBP rather than the physical adsorption from wastewater.

The effects of operating conditions such as benzene concentration, nitrogen flow rate, steam flow rate, and bed temperature on TSA process were experimentally investigated as a potential VOC removal technology using two kinds of beds packed with activated carbon and zeolite 13X. The TSA cycle studied was composed of the adsorption step, steam desorption step, and drying and cooling step. At 2% benzene concentration, the total adsorption amounts of zeolite 13X and activated carbon were 4.44 g and 3.65 g, respectively. Since the zeolite 13X has a larger packing density than that of the activated carbon, the larger benzene amount could be adsorbed in a single cycle. Increasing the water vapor flow rate to 75 g/hr at 2% benzene concentration reduced the desorption time from 1 hr to a maximum of 33 min. If the desorption time is shortened, the drying and cooling step period can be relatively increased. Accordingly, the steam removal and bed cooling could be sufficiently performed. The desorption amounts increased with the increase of the bed temperature. However, the energy consumption increased while the desorption amount was almost constant above $150^{\circ}C$. In the continuous cycle process, when the amount of remained benzene at the completion of the regeneration step increased, it might cause a decrease in the working capacity of the adsorbent. The continuous cycle process experiment for zeolite 13X showed that the amount of remained benzene at the end of regeneration step maintained a constant value after the fourth cycle.

To investigate the effect of the catalyst synthesis method on the oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) of nbutenes, $BiFe_{0.65}MoP_{0.1}$ oxide catalysts were prepared with various synthesis methods such as co-precipitation, citric acid method, hydrothermal method, and surfactant templated method. The catalysts were characterized by X-ray Diffraction (XRD), $N_2$ sorption, and $NH_3/1$-butene-temperature programmed desorption ($NH_3/1$-butene-TPD) to correlate with catalytic activity in ODH reaction. Among the catalysts studied here, $BiFe_{0.65}MoP_{0.1}$ oxide catalyst prepared with co-precipitation method marked the highest activity showing 1-butene conversion, 79.5%, butadiene selectivity, 85.1% and yield, 67.7% after reaction for 14 h. From the result of $NH_3$-TPD, the catalytic activity is closely related to the acidity of the $BiFe_{0.65}MoP_{0.1}$-x oxide catalyst and acidity of the $BiFe_{0.65}MoP_{0.1}$ oxde catalyst prepared with co-precipitation method was higher than that of other catalysts. In addition, combined with the 1-butene TPD, the higher catalytic activity is closely related to the amount of weakly adsorbed intermediate (< $200^{\circ}C$) and the desorbing temperature of strongly adsorbed intermediates (> $200^{\circ}C$).

The effect of sodium hydroxide treatment on some physicochemical properties of zeolite mordenite mineral was studied with chemical analyses, powder X-ray diffraction, thermal analyses, infrared analysis, measurement of carbon dioxide adsorption and gas chromatography. Mordenite mineral from tuffaceous rocks in Yeongil and Wolsung area was used as a starting material and treated with 0.1-5N NaOH aqueous solution at about $95^{\circ}C$ in the water bath for three hours.At the concentration of sodium hydroxide below 0.5N, all chemical compositions in the tuff were virtually insoluble and the mordenite structure did not change. At the concentration above 1N, the chemical compositions such as silica, alumina, etc., were dissolved. The dissolution ratio of silica was lager than that of alumina, and the ratio of silica to alumina in the tuff decreased sharply in the concentration range of 2 to 3N. Intensity of X-ray diffraction peak of mordenite (202) plane and the adsorbed amount of carbon dioxide also decreased with the increasing concentration of sodium hydroxide above 1N. These decreases corresponded to the degree of mordenite structure collapsed.The separation of gas chromatography of nitrogen, oxygen and carbon monoxide was not affected by the sodium hydroxide treatment, but elution peaks of methane and krypton tended to be broadened and their retention time was shortened. The elution peaks of both methane and krypton tended to be overlapped with those of nitrogen and oxygen.

Platinum catalysts supported on the mesoporous material synthesized from Y zeolite were applied to synthesis of jet-fuel through n-octadecane hydroupgrading. The mesoporous aluminosolicate, $MMZ_{HY}$ was synthesized using Y zeolite as its framework source. The effect of the addition of Mg to $Pt/MMZ_{HY}$ catalyst for n-octadecane hydroupgrading was investigated. Catalyst characterization was performed with X-ray diffraction, $N_2$ adsorption, temperature-programmed reduction in hydrogen flow, temperature-programmed desorption of ammonia, and infrared spectroscopy of adsorbed pyridine. The high yield of jet-fuel over the $PtMg(2.0)/MMZ_{HY}$ can be attributed not only to the higher dispersion of Pt metal and higher reducibility, but also the higher amount of acid sites and higher strength of acid sites. The selectivity to iso-paraffin in the jet-fuel fraction could be reached above 80% over the optimized $PtMg/MMZ_{HY}$ catalyst.

하천수계는 여러 인자들의 상호작용을 통하여 변화하게 되며, 하천 자정능력에 관한 연구는 이를 중심으로 진행되어 왔다. 여러 환경 요인 중 하상재료는 하천의 조도와 수생태계의 특성을 변화시키게 되며, 유입수의 성상에 따라 수저퇴적물이 쌓이거나, 생물막이 형성되는 매개체 역할을 하게 된다. 특히, 하천의 폭이 좁고 수심이 얕은 개울에서는 하상 퇴적물이 수질에 기여하는 영향이 큰 것으로 알려져 있다. 국내하천의 경우 하상재료가 주로 모래와 자갈이 주를 이루고 있으며, 수심이 낮아 빛의 투과성이 양호하여 부착조류의 증식 및 하상재료(모래 및 자갈 등)를 기질로 한 생물막 형성 등 하상재료는 하천환경의 변화 및 수질변화가 일어나는데 상당한 기여를 하는 것으로 보고되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 하천의 하상재료가 설치된 수로를 이용하여 이화학적요소를 조사, 분석함으로써 하상재료를 통한 수질변화 특성을 비교.검토 하였다. 그 결과 하상재료의 입경이 클수록 DO 변화가 더 큰 폭으로 증가 하였으며, 수위와 유속의 경우 수위가 낮으면서 유속이 적정수준일 경우 DO 증가가 나타나는 것으로 관측되었다. 하천수가 수로에 의해 순환되면서 유기물 저감속도의 측정결과 초기 흡착, 침전 등의 물리적 작용이 부착조류 증식 등의 생물학적 작용보다 우선되면서 입자성 유기탄소(POC)의 제거속도가 용존성 유기탄소(DOC) 의 경우보다 더 빠르고 우선되는 것으로 조사되었다. 영양염류의 경우 부착성조류에 의한 질소 제거능은 실제 질산화작용은 활발히 이루어졌으나 탈질작용에 의한 총질소의 제거는 미비한 것으로 나타났으며, 총인은 입자성유기탄소가 제거되는 것과 유사한 경향을 나타내 제거 기작이 대부분 흡착, 침전에 의한 물리적 자정 작용에 기인한 것으로 조사되었다. 또한 하상재료 입경 변화에 따른 수질변화 특성은 기질(하상재료)의 입경이 작을수록 오염물질의 분해능이 큰 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같이 여러 하천환경 요인 중 하상재료에 의한 하천환경의 다양한 변화는 수질변화 및 자정능력에 큰 영향을 미치게 된다.

뽕잎의 지금까지 박ㄹ혀진 생리활성은 중금속 흡착과 해독효과, 황산화 효과, 혈중지질 억제효과 및 혈당강하 효과를 들 수 있는데, 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1) 뽕잎이 Cd과 Pb같은 중금속에 대한 흡착 및 해독작용에 미치는 영향을 조사해 본 결과, 납중독으로 인하여 감소된 Hb와 Haematocritcl가 뽕잎 투여로 증가되었고 특히 gpa합성에 관여하는 DALAD효소 활성을 증가시켰다. 또한 뇨로의 Pb의 배설 효과가 뽕잎 투여로 증진되었으며 각 조직으로의 Pb축적을 감소시켰다. Cdwndehr으로 중독시킨 흰쥐에서도 감소된 Hd와 Haematocritcl가 뽕잎투여로 증가되었고, 특히 간조직 중의 Cd축적을 61%로 감소시켜 유의성있게 감소시켰다. 또한 뽕잎투여로 인하여 변으로의 Cd의 배설효과는 38%였고 이는 녹차투여 효솨보다는 낮은 수준이었다. 2)뽕잎의 향산화 효과는 녹차와 거의 비슷하였고 특히 혐기 처리함으로써 그 활성이 증가하였다. 또한 뽕잎중의 황산화 활성 성분은 10여종 flavonoidfb 이었고 그 중 quercetin이 가장 높은 황산화 활성을 나타냈다. 특히 dlavonidfb 화합물 중 kaempferol계열의 화합뭉이 황산화 효과가 높음을 알수 있었다. 3) 뽕잎의 고지혈 억제작용에 미치는 영향을 알아본 결과 뽕잎은 혈중 총 콜레스테롤이 차지하는 비율을 보였고 특히 혈중 중성지질 함량을 감소시킴으로써 정상의 80%수준까지 회복시켰다. 또한 콜레스테롤 생합성에 관여하는 효소활성을 뽕잎의 메탄올 추출물 중 물분획뭉이 59.9%수준으로 억제시켰고 지방분해효소 활성은 유의적인 수준은 아니었지만 16% 증가시켰다. 4) 뽕잎의 혈당강하 효과는 뽕잎을 질소가스를 이용하여 혐기처리하는 경우 유의적으로 그 효과가 증강되었다. 또한 뽕잎은 대조약물인 acarbose의 10배 용량에서 대조약물보다 23% 이상의 혈당강하 효과를 나타냈다. 이들의 혈당강하 효과는 같은 농도에서 인슐린 함량을 27%회복시켰으며 특히 surcrose와 maltose와 같은 이당류를 부하시켰을 때 혈당 강하 효과는 유의적이었다. 이는 뽕잎의 혈당강화 효과는 인슐린생합성 증가에 의한 것보다는 glucosidase의 활성을 억제시키는 기전이 더 많이 관여하는 것으로 판단할수 있었다. 또한 뽕잎 중의 혈당강하 성분으로 알려진 1-deoxynojirimycin 함량은 혐기처리로 인하여 그 함량이 5%정도 증가됨을 확인할 수 있었다. 이러한 뽕잎의 생리활성 결과에 기초할 때, 뽕잎은 고지혈증을 포함한 성인병 질환의 예방과 회복에 관련되는 조절기능을 생체에 충분히 발휘할수 있는 기능성 식품의 중요한 자원으로 이용될 수 있으리라 판단된다.
