Conditions necessary for optimal plastein productivity from sardine protein hydrolysate using papain and pepsin were established. Sardine protein concentrate was hydrolyzed with pepsin yielding an approximate degree of hydrolysis of 77.2%. Enzyme induced plastein was optimized at: pH 6 for papain and pH 4 for pepsin; substrate concentrate, 50%(w/v) for papain and 40%(w/v) for pepsin; time of incubation, 24hr; enzyme/substrate ratio, 1 : 100(w/w). Plastein yields of 49.5% and 45.3% were found for papain and pepsin, respectively, when 10% trichloroacetic acid (TCA) was used as the precipitating agent. However, when plastein was precipitated by 50% ethanol, the yield was found to be 43.6% and 41.0% for papain and pepsin, respectively. Ethanol-precipitated plastein did not contain lipid and contained approximately 1.3% ash and 91.0% protein. In comparison, the TCA-precipitated plastein contained 74.2% protein, 0.5% lipid and 15.3% ash.

This study was done to improve the effectiveness of nitrification and denitrification using the aeration-anoxic combination method using CFSTR(continuous-flow stirred-tank reactor) attached with an anoxic reactor filled with a media. In order to calculate the concentration of nitric acid within the aeration tank proportional to the anoxic rate within the reactor, supernatant within the inflow and precipitation tanks were influxed into the anoxic reactor. The rate of nitrogen removal was calculated using the concentration of inflow and flow of returned supernatant. From the results of this experiment, the carbon source needed in the anoxic reactor came from the inflow so that anoxification was achieved completely using the inflow source without the introduction of an external carbon source. However, as the ratio of nitric acid becomes large in inflow and nitric acid flow, the carbon source within the input source decreases so that the concentration of carbon source is important.

In this study, a sorption experiment of multivalent nuclides such as Eu(III) and Th(IV) relatively stable for redox reactions was carried out for bentonite colloids which had been prepared from the domestic Gyeongju bentonite. The amounts of the nuclides lost by an attachment to bottle walls, by a precipitation, and by a colloid formation were estimated by performing blank tests for the sorption experiments. Sorption coefficients, $K_d's$, reflecting the mass losses were obtained and investigated for the sorption of Eu(III) and Th(IV) onto the bentonite colloids. The net sorption coefficients $K_d's$ considering all the three mass losses were measured as about $10^6-10^7\;mL/g$ and $7{\times}10^6-10^7\;mL/g$ for Eu(III) and Th(IV), respectively, depending on pH. In particular, a precipitation occurred mainly at a pH greater than 5 for Eu(III) and a precipitation and colloid formation significantly occurred at a pH greater than 3 for Th(IV). The precipitation and colloid formation of the multivalent nuclides of Eu(III) and Th(IV) therefore should be considered when $K_d's$ are rightly obtained over the pH range where their precipitation and colloid formation become significant at a given concentration.

Objective of this research was to assess the influence of reaction time on the heavy metal-organic ligand complexation by employing kinetic models. Aqueous solutions of humic (HA) or fulvic acid (FA) were reacted with metal solutions with 1:1 ratio to form complexes. Efficiency of organic ligand on metal removal was determined by separating the precipitates from solution using $0.45\;{\mu}m$ filter paper. Complexation between Cu or Pb and HA or FA followed the first- or multiple first order kinetics, largely depending on metal concentration and kind of organic ligand. Amounts of precipitates were increased proportionally with reaction time but reached to quasiequilibrium where rate of precipitate formation was not varied with time. Copper-ligand complexation was, irrespective of ligand, fitted to the single first order kinetics at Cu concentrations lower than $300{\mu}M$, but this was fitted to the multiple first order kinetics at Cu concentrations higher than $300{\mu}M$. As increasing Cu concentrations, the precipitates formed more readily, judging from the increased rate constants (${\kappa}$). In the multiple first order kinetics, ${\kappa}$ was decreased as reaction steps proceeded. Most of Cu-ligand precipitates were formed within 15 min. FA precipitated Cu more rapidly than HA did. ${\kappa}$ for Pb-HA complexation was decreased but that for Pb-FA reaction was increased, as increasing Pb concentration. Most of Pb-organic ligand complexation occurred within 30 min. Afterwards, ${\kappa}$ values were relatively small and not affected much by time. Pb was precipitated by humic acid more readily than Cu when metal concnetrations were $200{\sim}300{\mu}M$. However, when metal concentrations were in the ranges of $400{\sim}500{\mu}M$, a reversed tendency was observed.

Influences of metal concentration, pH and temperature on metal-ligand precipitate formation were investigated, as a part of projects for removing heavy metals from aqueous solution employing the principles in metal-ligand complexation. Aqueous solutions of HA or FA were reacted with those of heavy metals with 1:1 ratio. Efficiency of humic (HA) or fulvic acid (FA) on removing metals was evaluated by separating the precipitates from soltuions with the filtering method. When HA was a counter ligand, there existed three ranges of metal concentrations affecting precipitation : precipitate fromation was not available, was reached to the maximum, and afterwards was decreased again. The concentration ratios of metal to HA for initiating complexation were dependent upon kinds of metal and concentrations of ligand. Amount of Pb to form maximum precipitates per unit mg of HA was 1.3 times higher than that of Cu. When FA was a counter ligand, concentrations of metal-FA precipitates were increased proportionally with the treated metal concentrations. Efficiency of FA fro removing Pb was nearly 100%, but it was ranged from 12 to 19% for Cu, depending on FA concentration. pH exerted a considerable effect on complexation between Pb and FA, showing precipitates were increased six times at most per unit increase of pH. Ranges of pH increasing significantly the mounts of precipitates were coincied with pH jump ranges of the titration curve of organic ligands. As increasing temperature from 15 to $55^{\circ}C$, increases of FA-Cu precipitates were doubled, but those of FA-Pb were accounted for only 6%, However, HA-metal complexation was not affected by temperature.

Antimicrobial action of phytoncide in the mouth decrease odor-producing microorganisms. Also phytoncide has malodor effect by reaction with volatile sulfur compounds. Phytoncide has excellent malodor effect in microbiologically and chemically. This study prove the malodor effect of phytoncide by use ferrous sulfate. So I try to make new treatment method for halitosis. I get the results as follows. 1. The difference of mean value of absorbancy was 0.849 between the mean absorbancy of deposition by add phytoncide to saliva and the saliva only. 2. The difference of mean value of absorbancy was 0.701 between the mean absorbancy of deposition by add phytoncide to distilled water and the distilled water only. 3. The difference of mean value(0.849) in saliva by existence of phytoncide was larger than in double distilled water(0.701) by existence of phytoncide. Therefore, phytoncide make more deposition in saliva than double distilled water by reaction with sulfur compounds. As the results, phytoncide reaction with sulfur compounds in saliva. It take malodor action in liquid state effectively. It is thought, only the toothpaste it knows from in the limit which does not have a side effect by the human body it adds in the oral cavity of the mouth rinse and with the fact that it will be able to use positively in clinic.

Wax components can be precipitated when surrounding temperature decreases below wax precipitation temperature (WAT). WAT as well as pour point are important characteristics to evaluate the behavior of waxy oils. In this study, qualitative and quantitative evaluations of waxes in waxy model oils were presented after determining WAT and pour point. In case of anhydrous waxy model oils, ASTM D2500 may be most useful to determine WAT because of the transparent nature of model oils. With same apparatus, ASTM D97 is also applicable to determine the pour point of waxy oils in a serial determination. In case of emulsified model oils, however, it is difficult to measure WAT because of its opaque nature. This study employed FTIR spectroscopy to determine wax precipitation temperature and discussed the effect of emulsion state regarding the values of WAT. Further study would be needed to conclude the effect of water contents to WAT values in case of emulsified waxy oil.

Several pretreatment processes such as softening, coagulation and precipitation, activated carbon adsorption, ion-exchange and neutralization processes were studied to remove organics and inorganics for selection of the RO based reusing system of metal industry wastewater. The effects of the hydrophobic/hydrophilic fractions of the organics on DOC removal were tested and used to optimize the combination process. Among various pretreatment processes, softening could reduce 93.4% of hardness and could remove all hydrophobic organics from the effluent of metal industry wastewater. Softening followed by coagulation process could reduce DOC (Dissolved Organic Carbon) from 5.1 mg/L to 1.6 mg/L. In addition, as a result of physiochemical pretreatment to raw wastewater of metal industry, neutralization with NaOH showed an efficient removal of iron and TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) without increase in the hardness.

The acid milk containing grape juice was prepared from natural grape juice, acid milk and sugar as raw materials, and the stability of the drink was studied. The following results were obtained. 1. The milk mixed with natural grape juice formed coagulated precipitate by coupling of the colloidal materials in the juice with the milk protein and the formation of precipitate was accelerated by pasteurization. 2. The pectin in natural grape juice was affected on the stability of the product, and the stability increased with decrease in the content of pectin. When the content of pectin in natural grape juice was lower than 2.5mg%, the precipitate was not formed in the drink containing 10 to 20% of the juice. 3. The acid milk drink containing the natural grape juice treated with pectinase, not formed precipitate by pasteurization at $85^{\circ}C$, for 20 minutes and can be preserved for long term.

Various iron minerals that precipitate in acid mine drainage have a great influence on the concentration change and mobility of trace elements in the drainage during phase transition to other minerals as well as the precipitation process. This study investigated the change of mineral properties and the behaviors of trace elements influenced by pH and time for the precipitates collected from the acid mine drainage treatment system of the Dalsung mine, where schwertmannite is mainly precipitated. However, the main mineral precipitated in the drainage was goethite, suggesting schwetmannite has already undergone a phase transition to goethite to some extent, and it was observed that at higher pH, the peak width at half maximum of XRD peak was narrower. This can be interpreted as the transformation of small amount of amorphous schwetmannite to goethite or an increase in the crystallinity of goethite, and it showed that the higher the pH, the greater this change was. The concentration of Fe was also greatly affected by the pH values, and as the pH increased, the concentration of Fe in the drainage decreased. With increasing time, the Fe concentration increased and then decreased, which can be interpreted to indicate the dissolution of schwertmannite and precipitation of goethite. This mineral change probably resulted in the rapid increase of the concentration of S at initial stage, but its concentration was stabilized later. The concentration of S is also related to the stability of schwetmannite, showing a high concentration at a low pH at which schwertmannite is stable and a low concentration at a high pH at which goethite is stable. The trace elements present as cations in the drainage also showed a close relationship with the pH, generally the lower the pH, the higher the concentration, due to the solubility changes by the pH, and the precipitation and the changes in mineral surface charge at high pH. On the other hand, in the case of As, existing as an anion, although it showed a high concentration at low pH, its concentration increased with time at all pH values, which is probably related to the concentration of Fe which can be coprecipitated in the drainage, and the increase of As concentration with time is also considered to be related to the decrease in schwertmannite rather than the mineral surface charge.
