The kinetics of photocatalytic degradation of gaseous acetaldehyde and methylethylketone(MEK) were studied by the batch scale of photo-reactor. Variable parameters were initial concentration of acetaldehyde and MEK, water vapor content, and temperature. The photocatalytic degradation rate was increased with increasing concentration of acetaldehyde and MEK, but maintained gentle increase beyond a certain concentration. The Langmuir-Hinselwood model was successfully applied to correlate experimental data. Water vapor inhibited the degradation reaction of acetaldehyde and MEK. The optimum reaction temperature was $45^{\circ}C$ for acetaldehyde and MEK.

We examined spatial and temporal patterns of root decomposition for three and half years, from October 1986 to April 1990, in semi-arid Chihuahuan Desert. Decomposition of roots occurred in a two-phased pattern: an early period of rapid mass loss followed by a period of slower loss. The rate of root decomposition had a high negative correlation with the initial lignin concentration in roots (r=-0.84, p<0.05). Annual mass loss rate of Baileya multiradiata, a herbaceous annual, was the highest with the value of 0.60, while that of Panicum obtusum. a perennial grass which was restricted to playa, was the lowest with 0.13. The mass loss rate of roots in the playa was the lowest among the vegetation zones along the transect. After 42 months elapsed, fluffgrass roots in playa lost 40% of the initial mass, while in other sites it lost on average 55% of the initial mass. In all roots except for desert marigold, there was an initial release of nitrogen early in decomposition followed by net nitrogen immobilization. Nitrogen concentration of the desert marigold roots showed linear increase from the beginning. Lignin concentration of perennial grass roots were higher than those of herbaceous annual and woody perennial root.

This study was undertaken to determine the effects of cultural conditions on cell growth and casein hydrolysis for cell production in order to add Micrococcus sp. LL3 as a potential agent for industrial application with aim of shortening ripening period and improving flavor. Optimum temperature for cell growth and caseinolysis was $30^{\circ}C$ and $37{\circ}C$, respectively, and optimum pH was 7.0. The enzyme remained stable up to $50^{\circ}C$. Hydrolysis patterns of casein were also observed on SDS-PAGE. Both ${\alpha}-casein$ and ${\beta}-casein$ were totally hydrolysed by enzymes from Micrococcus sp. LL3 during culture. A preferential attack on ${\beta}-casein$ was observed. Production of aminopeptidase which cleaved polypeptides was the highest in early stationary phase during cell growth.

In this study, we have evaluated biodegradability of diesel-oxygenates including DBM and gasoline-oxygenates having similar physio-chemical properties using indigenous aerobic microorganisms from a diesel-contaminated soil. Toluene and Ethanol have shown higher biological activity and the first-order degradation rate constants ranged around $0.11{\sim}0.3day^{-1}$. However, MTBE, gasoline-oxygenate has shown as a limited substrate. Moreover, As increased initial concentrations of DBM and TGME, degradation rates of those were decreased relatively. As a strategy to evaluate biodegradability of DBM and TGME, reduction of diesel-oxygenates, $CO_2$ production and toxicity by algae were monitored. This results indicated possible mineralization of diesel-oxygenates, But we could predict that residual byproduct produced even though complete consumption of diesel-oxygenates were observed if algal toxicity variation considered. In conclusion, it is the first report that diesel-oxygenates including DBM could be biodegraded effectively by indigenous soil microorganisms and this result increased the possibility of bioremediation technology to apply into oil-contaminated sites.

Aluminum nitride was hydrolyzed in contact with water, evolving the reaction heat of 172 cal/g within 12 hours to form alumina trihydrates. At 4$0^{\circ}C$ >, amorphous alumina hydrate was easily produced by the spontaneous breaks of AlN particle at the beginning of the hydrolysis process, while bayerite was formed by the dissolution-recrystallization processes of amorphous alumina hydrate at the temperature between 4$0^{\circ}C$ and 6$0^{\circ}C$, and pseudo-boehmite was generated on the surface of AlN particle by the condensation process of the corresponding phase at 6$0^{\circ}C$ <. The longer the hydrolysis timje or the higher the value of pH in solution, the more the bayerite phase was produced. However, pseudo-boehmite was easily generated under the following favorable conditions; when the hydrolysis reaction occured rapidly at the beginning and when the absorption of OH radical on the surface of AlN particle was disturbed by ethyl alcohol in a solution. However, aluminum nitride was hardly hydrolyzed in a solution of pH 2.0.

Musty-odorous compound (Geosmin, 2-Methylisobrneol) 수용액 중에 초음파 (200kHz, $6.0W/cm^{2}$)를 조사시켜 조사시간에 따른 농도 및 취기의 변화를 고찰했다. 초음파 조사에 의해 이 물질들은 빠르게 분해되었고 분해 형태는 농도에 대한 유사1차 반응을 나타내었다. 공기 포화 분위기에서 이들의 초기 분해속도는 각각 2.5 $10^{-3}{\;}Msec^{-1}$(2-MIB), 3.2 $10^{-3}{\;}Msec^{-1}$ (Geosmin)로 나타났다. 초음파 조사 시 포화가스 (Envelope gas)의 영향은 아르곤(Ar) 산소($O_{2}$) 공기(Air) 질소($N_{2}$) 순서로 순수한 아르곤(Ar) 분위기에서 musty-odorous compound 류의 분해가 가장 빠르게 진행되었고 그 분해생성물로 CO, $CO_{2}$ 그리고 HCOOH, $CH_{3}COOH$ 등의 저급 유기산류가 검출되었다. 또한 이들의 분해반응은 물의 초음파분해에 따라 생성된 hydroxylradical에 의한 radical반응, cavitation bubble내에서의 고온고압에 의한 열분해 및 직접연소반응으로 진행됨을 알 수 있었다.

Hydrolysis of isolate soybean protein (ISP) using subcritical water (SCW) was conducted to study the feasibility for producing protein hydrolyzate. SCW hydrolysis of SPI suspension (5-15%) was conducted in an electrically heated batch reactor (2 L). The effects of temperature (230 to $270^{\circ}C$) and holding time (10 to 50 min) on the degree of hydrolysis (DH) and the production of amino acids were studied by surface response method. The DH was determined by derivatizing the hydrolyzates with ortho-phthalaldehyde (OPA) solution. It was confirmed that reaction temperature and holding time affected the hydrothermolysis of soybean protein. However, the holding time was less effective on amino acid yield when the temperature was higher than $230^{\circ}C$. In order to achieve optimal yields of amino acids exceeding 43%, the temperature should be within the range between 256 and $268^{\circ}C$ with holding time from 29 to 41 min, respectively. A maximum estimated amino acid yield of 43.5% was obtained at $268^{\circ}C$ for 35 min.

A new graphical method was developed to separate two distinctive decay rate coefficients($k_1$ and $k_2$) at their respective degradable substrate fractions($S_1 and $S_2$). The mesophilic batch reactor showed $k_1$ of $0.151\;day^{-1}$ for wasted activated sludge(WAS), $0.123\;day^{-1}$ for thickened sludge(T-S), $0.248{\sim}0.358\;day^{-1}$ at S/I ratio of $1{\sim}3$ for sorghum and $0.155{\sim}0.209\;day^{-1}$ at S/I ratio $0.2{\sim}1.0$ for swine waste, whereas their long term batch decay rate coefficients($k_2$) were $0.021\;day^{-1}$, $0.001\;day^{-1}$, $0.03\;day^{-1}$ and $0.04\;day^{-1}$ respectively. At least an order of magnitude difference between $k_1$ and $k_2$ was routinely observed in the batch tests. The portion of $S_1$, which degrades with each $k_1$ appeared 71% for WAS, 39% for T-S, 90% for sorghum, and $84{\sim}91%$ at S/I ratio of $0.2{\sim}1.0$ for swine waste. Ultimate biodegradabilities of 50% for WAS, 40% of T-S, $82{\sim}92%$ for sorghum, and $81{\sim}89%$ for swine waste were observed.

2차원 전극의 RhB 분해 성능은 Pt(+)-Pt(-) > Pt(+)-Sus(-) > Sus(+)-Sus(-) 전극의 순으로 나타났다. 3차원 전극은 Pt-ACF-Pt 전극만 2차원 전극보다 초기 반응속도가 낮고 최종 RhB농도가 높은 것으로 나타났으나 다른 전극은 충전물 종류에 관계 없이 2차원 전극보다 초기 반응속도가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 음극의 종류에 관계없이 3차원 전극의 충전물에 따른 RhB 분해는 GAC > Nonwoven fabric fiber > ACF로 나타났다. GAC 충전량이 50 g 이상에서 RhB 분해속도는 거의 유사한 것으로 나타났으나 전력을 고려한 단위 W당 시간당 RhB 농도 감소를 나타내었다. 그림에서 보듯이 최적 GAC 충전량은 50 g로 사료되었다. 최적 전류는 2.5 A로 사료되었다.

11종류의 cellulose에 고착된 vinylsulfone(VS)계 반응성 염료(F-type)의 알칼리 가수분해 거동과 염료와 섬유의 결합 안정성을 cellophane film을 이용한 film권층법에 의하여 조사하였다. F-type은 알칼리욕에서 분해되어 VS type을 생성하고 VS type은 가수분해에 의해 hydroxyethylsulfone(Hy)을 생성하거나 cellulose와 재결합하여 F-type을 생성하였다. F-type은 알칼리 처리에 의해 cellulose의 수산기의 위치에 기인하는 bimodal 가수분해 거동(fast and slow hydrolysis)을 나타내었다. Orange 7과 Yellow 17는 cellulose와의 반응성이 높고 F-type의 초기 분해속도가 빠르며 일반적으로 fast 가수분해속도가 slow 가수분해 속도보다 약 5배정도 큼을 알 수 있었다. 또한 조사된 대부분의 염료의 경우 slow 가수분해 속도는 거의 유사함을 알 수 있었다.
