The experimental characteristics for fry drying method was investigated using low-rank coal with a high moisture content. Final temperature, mixing ratio between coal and kerosene, content of coal or kerosene, total weight of the mixture and mixing methods were varied to find out the optimum conditions by measuring moisture of coal. Evaporation of the coal moisture was not completed below $120^{\circ}C$ of final temperature. The amount of moisture was not significantly different over $130^{\circ}C$. Coal moisture was easily evaporated by increasing coal content, which showed that the moisture evaporation could be significantly enhanced by the remove of evaporated moisture from kerosene rather than by heat transfer to the coal. High total weight of the mixture resulted in lowering moisture content of coal with long evaporation time. On the other hand, low total weight was difficult to reduce the moisture below a certain level, but could reduce evaporation time. Thus, it can concluded that kerosene content should be lowered to the extent maintaining the mobility of the mixture in order to enhance evaporation. It was also observed that evacuation and mixing by using nitrogen could improve drying of coal.

This study investigates the fractional composition and the leaching characteristics of heavy metals in polluted soils due to mining activities. The fractionated composition of heavy metals is classified into five fractions; adsorbed, carbonate, reducible, organic and residual fraction. The status of humic substances in mine wastes of most sites are polyhumic except tailing from Sangdong mine. According to the sequential extraction procedures (SEPs), leaching probabilities of Cd in coal wastes and tailing are relatively low due to high percentage of residual fraction. 46.4% of Ni in tailings from Sangdong mine is probably leached under oxidized environment, and 39.4% of Cu in these tailings is readily extracted under strongly oxidized environment by organic fraction. According to leaching condition of pH 3.0 and pH 5.6, the amount of heavy metals leached out of coal wastes and tailing increases to 1/2 hours. At pH 3.0 and pH 5.6, concentration of Ni in tailing increases up three times of the initial value. Heavy metals released from coal wastes and tailing were not influenced significantly by leaching time.

The purposes of this research are to study on optimal distance between positive and negative electrodes in dust removal chamber. The experiments were performed with electrode-plate gab arranging in order of 3 cm, 2 cm, 1 cm in series while varying influent flow-rate. From the experimental results of dust removal the optimal influent linear velocity was 6 cm/sec and the total mass of attached dust on the surface of electrode-plate was increased as electrode-plate gab is closer. But in case of electrode-plate gab being very close about 1 cm or so, the attached dust on the surface of electrode-plate was shown releasing from electrode-plate due to dust electric-charge changing (reverse ionization). Evantually. optimal distance between positive and negative electrode-plates was about 2 cm and also optimal dust loading rate was about $24mg/min{\cdot}m^2$.

The priming discharge characteristic at the reset period in the ADS drive method of PDP was experimentally analyzed in this research. The amount of wall charge accumulated by the discharge and the accumulated time are unrelated to the priming pulse width. The self-erase discharge by excessive wall charge is related to the amount of wall charge by the priming discharge and this is related to space charge generated by the priming discharge. From the experimental result, in the optimized priming condition the plus width is 8$mutextrm{s}$ and the voltage is about 163V. The space charge which helps the self-erase discharge exists during about 16$mutextrm{s}$ immediately after generating the priming discharge. Therefore, it is suitable within 16$mutextrm{s}$ of the priming pluse width for the effective reset process.

유기물오염은 호수와 하천에서 가장 흔히 나타나는 오염의 형태이다. 개발도상국에서는 하수처리시설이나 생활용수처리시설에서 유기물이 처리되지 않아 수중의 유기물함량이 증가하여 피해가 나타난다. 물환경보전법에 따라 유기물질을 측정하는 지표에는 BOD, COD, TOC가 있다. 그 중 BOD, COD 측정은 절차가 복잡하고 오래 걸리며, 생물분해가 불가능하거나 유독물질이 존재하는 유기물질인 경우에는 낮은 결과 또는 측정이 불가능하다. 이러한 이유로 환경부에서는 TOC중심관리로 전환되고 있다. 대부분의 수질항목 측정의 경우 현장시료를 채취하여 실험실에서 분석하는 수분석을 이용한다. 하지만 수분석의 경우 인력이 많이 투입되고 분석수가 한정적이며, 정교한 과학 장치를 갖춘 전문 실험실을 필요로 한다. 반면에 TOC는 짧은 시간 내에 측정이 가능하고, 안정적인 산화로 유기물질 총량을 정확하게 측정이 가능하다. 또한 위해성 물질을 발생시키지 않는 친환경적 방법이라 환경오염 감시에 많이 활용된다. 본 연구에서 분광측정기 중 하나인 S-CAN을 통해 하천의 TOC분석을 진행하였다. 대상지는 안동에 위치한 하천실험센터와 금호강 진천천으로 S-CAN측정과 채취한 시료의 수분석 결과를 비교하였다. 이를 통해 TOC측정 및 기기에 대한 정확도분석을 실시하였다. 본 연구를 통해 S-CAN을 활용한 TOC중심의 수질모니터링하여 수질의 특성을 탐구하고, TOC기초연구를 통한 유기물오염도 지표로서 해석할 수 있다. 수분석 자료를 활용한 정확도 비교를 통해 하천 TOC센서 측정 적용에 대한 기초자료 제공과 측정기기의 현장적용성을 판단 할 수 있다. TOC측정 및 분석을 통해 유기물질량을 실시간으로 정확하게 측정하게 되면 수질관리 효율성이 높아지고, 하천에 유입되는 유기물질량과 농도를 정확하게 파악하여 실효성 있는 정책 수립 및 효율적인 수질관리를 할 수 있다.

In this paper, a sustainable closed-loop supply chain (SCLSC) network model is proposed for domestic mobile phone industry. Economic, environmental and social factors are respectively considered for reinforcing the sustainability of the SCLSC network model. These three factors aim at minimizing total cost, minimizing total amount of CO₂ emission, and maximizing total social influence resulting from the establishment and operation of facilities at each stage of the SCLSC network model. Since they are used as each objective function in modeling, the SCLSC network model can be a multi-objective optimization problem. A mathematical formulation is used for representing the SCLSC network model and a hybrid meta-heuristic approach is proposed for efficiently solving it. In numerical experiment, the performance of the proposed hybrid meta-heuristic approach is compared with those of conventional meta-heuristic approaches using some scales of the SCLSC network model. Experimental results shows that the proposed hybrid meta-heuristic approach outperforms conventional meta-heuristic approaches.

This study was performed to determine the level of soybean meal (SM) or feather meal (FM) that could substitute for fish meal in fat cod(Hexagrammos otakii Jordan et Starks) diet. A control diet with fish meal as protein source was included. The amount of 5, 10, 15 and 20% of SM or FM substituted for fish meal in the control diet, respectively. Amino acids supplementation in the 20% SM diet was compared. In addition, combination of 5% SM, 5% corn gluten meal, 5% meat meal, 5% blood meal and 5% FM was substituted for fish meal in the control diet. Duplicate groups of the 40 fish averaging 21g were fed one of 11 isoproteic (45%) and isolipidic (15%) experimental diets to satiation twice a day for 2 months. No significant differences were found among fish fed the control, substituting up to 20% SM or 10% FM in weight gain, feed efficiency, daily feed intake, and protein efficiency ratio (P>0.05). It is concluded that SM or FM can be used as a partial substitute for fish meal up to 20% or 10% in the control diet, respectively.

High-rate phosphorous removal by PAC (poly aluminum chloride) coagulation of A2O effluent was investigate to meet the stringent requirement of wastewater discharge from municipal wastewater treatment plant. A series of jar tests were conducted to find optimum coagulation condition and to enhance removal efficiency. The optimum volumetric concentration of PAC was 30 ppm (2.81mol Al/mol P by mol ratio). Only 17.2% of soluble P was removed for 30 minutes' settling without PAC addition, while this increased to 30.3% by dosing 10ppm PAC. It even increased conspicuously from 49.3% to 88.4% by increasing PAC dose from 20 ppm to 30 ppm. 92.4% of total P was removed by 30 ppm PAC, and the effluent concentration (0.3 mg/L) was acceptable for discharge. The optimum value of coagulation time, settling time, and pH were 4minutes, 20 minutes, and 7.0, respectively. It was not necessary to control pH of raw sample whose pH was 7.0. Soluble P removal was remarkably enhanced at pH 7.0. This implied that sweep floc formation by $Al(OH)_3$ was the main mechanism of coagulation for soluble P removal. Influent and effluent of secondary clarifier were tested for coagulation, and the effluent was better for high-rate P removal. It resulted in 0.18 mg/L of P and 95.4% of P removal by coagulation. It was favorable to recycle the treated water to coagulation tank and the optimum recycle ratio was 0.3.

Quality characteristics such as alcohol, acid, and sugar contents of takju brewing mashes prepared using several yeasts were investigated during 12-days of fermentation. Among the yeasts examined, S. cerevisiae led to the highest level of ethanol (10.2-13.4%) and total minor alcohols (0.729-0.831 mg/mL). Regardless of the yeasts used, the acidity showed drastic changes (pH from 3.4-4.2 down to 2.4-2.7) during the first 2 days, and displayed negligible changes from day 4. The total acid contents rapidly increased to the first 4 days of fermentation and leveled off from 4 to the end of fermentation period. The common organic acid components were lactic, succinic and acetic acids. The total and reducing sugar contents varied depending on the yeasts used, with mashes prepared using S. coreanus and S. rouxii producing the maximum total sugar contents (5.43-5.5%) at the end of fermentation. The reducing sugar showed its maximum (7.53-14.89%) at day 2, after which it decreased to its minimum levels (3.04-4.52%). The common free sugar components were glucose and fructose, while S. ellipsoideus led to a higher free sugar level (0.35-5.29%).
