아임계 및 초임계수에 의한 목질바이오매스의 당화특성을 분석하기 위하여 분해공정 동안 압력을 23MPa(물의 임계압력)로 고정하고 물의 아임계 온도$(325^{\circ}C,\;350^{\circ}C)$와 초임계 온도$(380^{\circ}C,\;400^{\circ}C,\;425^{\circ}C)$에서 현사시나무 목분을 각각 60초 동안 처리하였다. 생성된 현사시나무의 분해산물에는 액상과 고형분의 분해산물이 섞여 있었다. 각 처리조건에 따른 목질바이오매스의 분해율은 온도가 상승함에 따라 증가하였으며 초임계 온도인 $425^{\circ}C$에서 최고 83.1%의 분해율을 나타냈다. 아임계 및 초임계수에 의해서 생성된 단당류는 고성능 음이온 교환 크로바토그래프(HPAEC)를 이용하여 분석하였다. 목질바이오매스의 초임계수 분해과정에서 처리 온도가 높아지면서 단당류 수율은 증가하는 경향을 보였으며, $425^{\circ}C$에서 가장 높은 7.3%의 단당류 수율을 나타내었다. 아임계 온도 범위에서는 현사시나무의 섬유소 성분 중에서 자일란이 우선적으로 분해되어 자일로스의 생성비율이 비교적 높았으며, 처리온도가 높아지면서 셀롤로오스의 분해에 의한 글루코오스 생성율이 급격히 상승하였다. 이렇게 생성된 단당류 성분들은 고온의 반응조건하에서 열분해 반응에 의해서 더욱 분해되어 퓨란계 화합물로 변형되었다.

The production of fine metal oxide particles in supercritical water has been studied. Cobalt nitrate solution and manganese nitrate solution have been selected as model solutions for metal salt aqueous solution and the particles of cobalt oxide and manganese oxide have been produced. It was observed that the production of fine metal oxide particles in supercritical water was feasible and the dehydration rate was remarkably high in supercritical water. In spite of a short residence time (3~100 seconds), fine particles ($0.5{\sim}2{\mu}m$) have been produced. In the supercritical water process, the temperature of mixer had a significant effect on particle size and size distribution. It was observed that a change in reaction temperature resulted in the control of particle size.

In this study, computer simulations have been performed for the removal of the transformer oil contaminated with polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in supercritical water through complete combustion reaction. We regarded n-decane as a main material of transformer oil, and it is assumed to be 3.0 wt％ of transformer oil in supercritical water. We used Peng-Robinson equation of state to estimate the physical properties of components in supercritical water. Throughout the computer simulation done in this work, we could explain the solubilities of 3.0 wt% of transformer oil and excess oxygen in supercritical water.

초임계 익형은 천음속 영역에서 비행하는 상업용 민간 항공기와 전투기 날개의 공력성능을 향상시키기 위해 Whitcomb R. T.가 제안 하였다. 초임계 익형은 상부표면을 평평하게 디자인하여 임계마하수보다 큰 마하수에서 나타나는 익형 주위의 충격파 출현을 지연시킴으로써 항력을 줄일 수 있고, 상부 표면의 평면 설계로 인한 양력 감소를 보정하기 위하여 하부 표면의 꼬리부분에 캠버가 있는 형상을 하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 EDISON CFD를 이용하여, 초임계 익형의 공력특성을 해석하고 Xfoil의 data와 비교 분석하였다. 또한, 초임계 익형의 형상을 변경하여 두께와 뒷전 캠버가 다른 초임계 익형을 설계하였다. 새로운 초임계 익형의 형상은 상용 프로그램 Maple12을 이용하여 Whitcomb Integral Supercritical Airfoil의 형상을 수정하여 구할 수 있다. 초임계 익형 주위의 유동을 2D압축성 유동으로 가정하고 EDISON CFD의 2D_Comp-2.0 솔버를 사용하여 수치해석을 수행하였다.

We investigated the bioethanol production using wood biomass hydrolysate which obtained from the supercritical water (SCW) treatment. SCW-treated hydrolysate was used C-source of culture medium in shaking flask culture for bioethanol production. When the concentrated SCW-treated hydrolysate (SCW3) was used, yeast cell growth was slower compared with those in other SCW-treated hydrolysate (SCW1, SCW2). In addition, the bioethanol productions were 0.51 to 0.56 (%,w/v) when SCW1, SCW2, and SCW3 were used. Therefore, we removed the toxic phenolic compound in SCW-treated hydrolysate by pretreatments of activated charcoal and calcium hydroxide. Activated charcoal reduced more efficiently the phenolic compounds in SCW3 by 94.6%. Finally, when we pretreated SCW3 by activated charcoal and this was used for bioethanol production, 0.96 (%,w/v) bioethanol was produced and the ethanol yield based on reducing sugar reached 0.5.

Supercritical fluid of carbon dioxide was used to investigate the effects of its temperature and density on the distribuion coefficients of fatty-acid esters composing fish oil. The distribution coefficient of fatty acid ester was greatly different from each other according to the temperature and density of the supercritical fluid. The possibility of separation of a certain fatty acid from the mixture of fatty acids was tested. The density of the supercritical fluid showing the great differences ofthe distribution coefficients among the fatty acid esters ranged from 0.3 g/mL to 0.4 g/mL. The retrograde condensation took place at high densities of the supercritical fluid.

After supercritical water treatment of poplar wood meals (passed through 60 mesh) for 60s between 325 and $425^{\circ}C$ at the fixed pressure at $220{\pm}10atm$, some solid residues were present in the degradation products. They mainly consisted of chemically modified lignin and fibrous materials. Glucose and xylose were identified as main sugar components of fibrous materials, and the highest ratio of glucose/xylose was achieved at the highest reaction temperature. As reaction temperature was elevated, the portion of fibrous materials decreased in the solid residues, while lignin was further accumulated. The H : G : S ratio of lignin in solid residues was estimated by analytical pyrolysis. Irrespective of reaction temperatures, the H:G:S ratios were not significantly changed in the lignin in solid residues. Compared to poplar milled wood lignin (MWL), it was remarkable that H type monomers were further lowered, while portion of S type monomers increased. The amount of G type monomers were relative stable. In presence of HCl catalyst, lowering H type as well as enhancing S type was further distinguishable. According to the result of nitrobenzene oxidation (NBO), ca. 265 mg of vanillin and syringaldehyde was yielded from poplar MWL as main products. However, remarkably reduced amount of NBO products were determined from solid residues by raising operating temperature as well as by the addition of HCl catalyst. These results strongly indicate that $\beta$-O-4 linkage could be easily cleaved during supercritical water treatment, so that the lignins in the solid residues seem to be condensed phenol polymers, which are mainly formed by carbon-carbon linkages rather than $\beta$-O-4 linkage.
