As by-pass dust (BPD) made from cement manufactured process is designated waste, it is required to bury as high cost. The main component of BPD is potassium chloride (KCl), and used for the fertilizer. For using KCl to the fertilizer, the pH value of KCl is required as neutral or weak acid. However, it is not suitable to apply BPD into the fertilizer directly without any other treatment because BPD's pH value is shown 12.0~12.5; a high base. In this study, the carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) was used for removing calcium oxide (CaO) and reducing pH value during manufacturing process of KCl. We fixed inner condition of the carbon test chamber as $25^{\circ}C$-50RH%, and retained 0~7 hours under the 20 vol% of $CO_2$ atmosphere. After experiment, we analyzed the content of CaO and pH value from each samples. The more time exposed to $CO_2$, the content of CaO and pH value are shown. Furthermore, pH value exposed in 6 hours nearly reached 7.

We analyzed the estimated daily intake of sweeteners in the Korean population, using data from national health and nutrition studies regarding the concentration of sweetener in each type of food, food intake by gender, age group, and weight. The level of safety of these sweeteners was evaluated by comparisons with the acceptable daily intake (ADI) data established by the Joint FAO/WHO expert committee on food additives. The estimated daily intake (EDI) of sodium saccharin was $52.31{\mu}g/kg{\cdot}bw$, $55.06{\mu}g/kg{\cdot}bw$ acesulpham-K, $145.47{\mu}g/kg{\cdot}bw$ aspartame, and $93.86{\mu}g/kg{\cdot}bw$ sucralose per day. The percentages in relation to ADI were 1.0%, 0.4%, 0.4%, and 0.6% respectively, which were all within safe levels. The relatively higher-consuming groups were taking $783.12{\mu}g/kg{\cdot}bw$ sodium saccharine, $4,399.09{\mu}g/kg{\cdot}bw$ aspartame, $1,557.09{\mu}g/kg{\cdot}bw$ acesulpham-k, and $2,700.72{\mu}g/kg{\cdot}bw$ sucralose per day, and their intake levels as a percentage of ADI were 15.7, 11.0, 10.4, and 18.0%, respectively, which were all within safe levels.

A new series of novel 2-morpholino-N-(4,6-diarylpyrimidin-2-yl)acetamides 34-42 is synthesized by the condensation of 2-chloro-N-(4,6-diarylpyrimidin-2-yl)acetamides 25-33 with morpholine in the presence of anhydrous potassium carbonate. The synthesized compounds have been characterized by melting point, elemental analysis, MS, FT-IR, one-dimensional NMR ($^1H$ & $^{13}C$) spectroscopic data.

In a converting reaction of $p-bromo-\alpha-diethylaminoacetophenone$ (1a) and $p-bromo-\alpha-piperidinoacetophenone$ (1b) with KCN and $(NH_4)_2CO_3$, to hydantoin, the expected 5-(p-bromophenyl)-5-diethylaminomethylhydantion (2a) and 5-(p-bromophenyl)-5-piperidinomethylhydantoin (2b) were not formed. Diethylaminomethyl group and piperidinomethyl group were eliminated and p,p'-dibromodiphenylhydantil (4), which might be formed through dimerization of 5-(bromophenyl)-hydantoin (3), and p-bromobenzoic acid (5), which was formed through a degradation of 5-(bromophenyl)-hydantoin, were obtained. In the case of $p-bromo-\alpha-morpholinoacetophenone$ (1c), the expected 5-(p-bromophenyl)-5-morpholinomethylhydantoin (2c) was formed.

Potassium hexatitanate ($K_2Ti_6O_{13}$) with high thermal insulating capacity, good mechanical properties, and excellent chemical stability are promising functional materials in the field of reinforcing material, heat insulating paints and automotive brake linings. In this study, we successfully synthesized rod-shaped potassium hexatitanate ($K_2Ti_6O_{13}$) by aerosol spray drying and post heat treatment as an eco-friendly process. The $KHCO_3-TiO_2$ porous particles were firstly synthesized from a colloidal mixture of $K_2CO_3$ and $TiO_2$ via aerosol spray drying. Size of $KHCO_3-TiO_2$ porous particles was ranged from $1{\mu}m$ to $5{\mu}m$. The porous particles were then heated to fabricate rod-type $K_2Ti_6O_{13}$. The length and width of rod-type composites were affected by temperature and heating time. The length and width of $K_2Ti_6O_{13}$ were increased by 830 nm and 500 nm, respectively, as the reaction temperature and time increased.

본 연구는 낙동강 중류 지역의 경북 구미시, 경북 왜관읍, 경북 성주군과 하류 지역의 경남 함안군, 창원시 북면과 대산면, 김해시 생림면의 하성충적층 내 지하수와 낙동강물의 연관성을 파악하였다. 중류와 하류지역에서 하성충적층의 주 대수층(모래자갈층)의 두께는 10m 내외로서 공간적으로 큰 차이를 보이지는 않는다. 하성충적층의 수리전도도는 $10^{-5}{\sim}10^{-3}$m/sec를 나타낸다. 하성충적층의 지하수위는 지역에 따라 해수면 기준으로 1.40~11.5m에서 변동하며, 지하수위와 낙동강 수위는 높은 상관성을 보인다. 지하수와 낙동강물의 화학분석 결과, 칼슘, 마그네슘, 나트륨, 칼륨, 염소, 규산, 중탄산, 망간, 철과 같은 무기성분의 농도는 지하수에서 더 높게 나타나고 있으나, 질산염의 농도는 낙동강물에서 더 높게 나타난다. 지하수내의 유기물질의 농도는 계절에 관계없이 비교적 일정하나, 낙동강물의 유기물질 농도는 우기보다 건기에 더 높은 경향성을 보이고 있다. 이러한 연구결과는 4대강 살리기 사업이나 하천주변지역의 수자원 개발에 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

This study compares the efficacy of soaking and percolation pretreatments with alkaline solutions for lignocellulosic biomass. Various biomass such as rice straw and barley were pretreated by soaking processes in various alkaline solutions including sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, aqueous ammonia and sodium carbonate. The enzymatic digestibility of rice straw and barley that had been pretreated by soaking in aqueous ammonia was over 80%. Eucalyptus residue, Larix leptolepis and Pinus rigida exhibited relatively low enzymatic digestibility. Nevertheless, the enzymatic digestibility of pretreated eucalyptus residue was increased by five times compared to that of the initial biomass. And, the enzymatic digestibility of the percolation pretreated eucalyptus residue was increased 12 times.

To predict the absorption behavior of carbon dioxide on membrane contactor, an aqueous potassium carbonate solution as an absorbent. The reversible reactions of carbon dioxide with chemicals were considered, and the physicochemical properties of reaction rate constants, equilibrium constants, solubilities and diffusion coefficients were used as a function of concentration of carbon dioxide and the temperature. A non-wetted mode was also used as an operating condition of the membrane contactor. In these operation conditions, the effect of the following system parameters were studied : the concentration of potassium carbonate, the velocity of the absorbent and the pressure of the mixture gas. The absorption behavior of carbon dioxide caused by a facilitated transport was observed as the increment of the concentration of the absorbent. The absorption rate of carbon dioxide was increased as the absorbent velocity was increased. Furthermore, it was found that the pressure if the mixture gas and the reuse number of absorbent affect severely the absorption rate of carbon dioxide. The absorption behavior was successfully predicted by the computer simulation using the system parameters which are important for design and operation of the membrane contactor.

Partially sulfonated poly(aryl ether sulfone) membranes were prepared from the sulfonated sulfone monomer, which was synthesized by a nucleophilic substitution, non-sulfonated monomers and potassium carbonate by a direct polymerization method and a subsequent solution casting technique with mixed solvents of N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) and dimethylacetamide (DMAc). To investigate the effect of mixed solvent, the volume ratios of NMP and DMAc were varied in the range of $0{\sim}100%$ and the degrees of sulfonation of the copolymers were fixed as 50%. The surface properties of the resulting membranes were examined by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and atomic force microscope (AFM), and a comparative study of the morphology changes and the physicochemical properties such as proton conductivity and methanol permeability was achieved. It was found that proton conductivities depend on the volume ratio of NMP-DMAc mixed solvents, and the proton conductivity determined at the condition of $25^{\circ}C$ and 100% relative humidity was $1.38{\times}10^{-1}\;S/cm$ for the membrane prepared in the 50:50 v/v-% of NMP : DMAc mixed solvent.

We investigated the effects of the concentration of carbon dioxide on the char-$CO_2$ gasification reaction under isothermal conditions of $850^{\circ}C$ using the Drayton coal. Potassium carbonate was used to improve the low-temperature gasification reactivity. The enhancement of carbon dioxide concentration increased the gasification rate of char, while gasification rate reached a saturated value at the concentration of 70%. The best $CO_2$ concentration for gasification is determined to be 70%. We compared the shrinking core model (SCM), volumetric reaction model (VRM) and modified volumetric reaction model (MVRM) of the gas-solid reaction models. The correlation coefficient values, by linear regression, of SCM are higher than that of VRM at low concentration. While the correlation coefficients values of VRM are higher than that of SCM at high concentration. The correlation coefficient values of MVRM are the highest than other models at all concentration.
