다고리방향족 탄화수소를 페놀에 적응된 미생물을 이용하여 분해하고자 하였다. 분리된 Stenotrophomons maltophilia는 나프탈렌과 페난스렌을 탄소원 및 에너지원으로 이용하였으며 10mg/$\ell$의 나프탈렌과 0.9mg/$\ell$의 페난스렌이 완전히 분해되는데 지체기후 약 2일과 3일이 소요되었다. 나프탈렌, 페난스렌의 분해시 중간생성물로 chromatography 상에 새로운 피크들이 생성되었으며, 이러한 중간생성물을 파악하여 다고리 방향족 탄화수소의 분해경로를 모색하고자 하였다.

다양한 혐기성 조건에서 다환방향족탄화수소(PAHs)로 오염된 토양의 미생물 분해 연구를 수행하였다. 대표적인 다환방향족탄화수소인 phenanthrene과 fluorene을 토양과 물에 오염시켜서 약 100일 동안 저감정도를 관찰하였고, 실제 다환방향족탄화수소로 오염된 현장 토양을 이용 혐기성하에서 다환방향족탄화수소의 생분해 가능성을 확인하였다. 미생물 접종원은 혐기성 조건에서 다환방향족탄화수소에 노출시킨 슬러리가 사용되었다. 황산염 환원조건, 질산염 환원조건, 메탄생성조건 등의 다양한 혐기성 조건에서 실험을 수행한 결과, 메탄생성조건 > 질산염 환원조건 > 황산염 환원조건의 순서로 분해가 잘 일어났다. 또한 현장오염토양의 경우 34일간 처리 후 메탄생성조건에서 최대 72%의 분해율을 보였다.

Fundamental parameters describing overall operational characteristics of active cooling systems of a hypersonic flight vehicle are mainly classified into endothermic hydrocarbon fuels, regenerative cooling channels, and materials and system structures. Of primary importance is the improvement of endothermic performance of hydrocarbon aviation fuels in a series of studies developing efficient regenerative cooling systems. In a previous study, therefore, an extensive technical analysis has been carried out on thermal decomposition characteristics of liquid hydrocarbon fuels. As a subsequent study, catalytic cracking and steam reforming technologies have been reviewed to find a way for the improvement of endothermic reaction performance of hydrocarbon aviation fuels.

In order to develop active cooling systems for a hypersonic cruise vehicle, a series of studies need to be preceded on regenerative cooling technologies by using endothermic reaction of liquid hydrocarbon aviation fuels. Among them, it is essential to scrutinize fluid flow/heat transfer/endothermic pyrolysis characteristics of supercritical hydrocarbons in a micro-channel, as well as to acquire thermophysical properties of hydrocarbon fuels in a wide range of temperature and pressure conditions. This study, therefore, reviewed those technologies and analyzed major findings in related research areas which have been carried out worldwide for the development of efficient operational regenerative cooling systems of a hypersonic flight vehicle.

A bacterial strain Acinetobacter calcoaceticus was examined for its ability to degrade fats, oils and hydrocarbons, and tested for the possibility of application in wastewater treatment. All fats and oils tested were degraded by the strain. About 60% of hexadecane, 26% of fish oiL and 40-54% of vegetable oils were consumed respectively in shaking-flask culture. Saturated fatty acid compositions were about 55% in fish oil and 6-12% in vegetable oils. Increases in cell mass were accompanied with decreases in the concentrations of carbon sources. When jar fermentor in place of shaking-flask was used as a culturing vessel. above 80% of all carbon sources was consumed and yield of cell mass was improved to nearly 1.00. Synthetic wastewaters containing 3% of fat, oil, or hydrocarbon as a sale ca,bon source were treated sequentially with A. calcoaceticus first and then exposed to activated sludge. The concentrations of carbon sources were decreased below 0.06% through the process, and the concentrations of suspended solids were lower than 53 mglml. The data imply the potential use of A. calcoaceticus in wastewater treatment.

Fisher-Tropsch 반응을 통하여 생성되는 왁스는 황 또는 질소 성분을 포함하지 않으며 또한 방향족 및 중금속 성분이 없기 때문에 청정 수송유로써 사용이 가능하다는 장점이 있다. 그러나 Fisher-Tropsch 왁스는 그 분자량이 매우 큰 사슬형 탄화수소이기 때문에 수소첨가 분해반응을 통하여 중질유 range의 탄소수를 갖는 탄화수소로의 전환 기술이 반드시 필요하다. 이러한 수소첨가 분해반응에 사용되는 촉매는 강한 산점을 지니고 있는 양이온 교환 지르코니아가 대표적이라 할 수 있는데 최근 들어 강한 산점과 높은 산밀도, 그리고 기공의 모양과 크기에 따라 특정 반응이 제어되거나 활성화되는 형상선택성을 가지고 있기 때문에 다양한 반응에 촉매로 사용되는 제올라이트에 Pt 등의 귀금속을 담지한 촉매를 사용하여 Fisher-Tropsch 왁스의 전환율 및 중질유분의 선택도를 높이는 기술에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 다양한 제올라이트 촉매에 귀금속을 담지하여 촉매를 제조하고 1L 급 고압 배치형 반응기를 이용하여 Fisher-Tropsch 왁스의 수소첨가 분해반응에 의한 중질유 제조 실험을 수행하고 그 결과를 고찰하였다.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a kind of toxic environmental pollutants and has been accumulated usually in marine sediments. Due to their potential hazardous to human, removal of PAHs from environments has been great concern. In the present study, the effect of microbial inoculation and the supplementation of mixed form cyclodextrin (M-CD) was assessed in the pre-sterilized or nonsterilized microcosms for optimizing operational conditions for ex situ bioremediation of sediments contaminated by PAHs. Activity of electron transport system (ETSA) was increased by the addition of M-CD regardless of inoculation of microorganisms in microcosms without sterilization. The degradation rate of PAHs in sterilized microcosms was app. 9-20% by the inoculation of single strain and 24-37% by the inoculation of microbial consortium supplemented with 1% M-CD, respectively. The degradation was not observed in microcosms without sterilization under the same conditions. The proportion of inoculated microorganisms also decreased in nonsterilized microcosms. Signals of inoculated bacteria were decreased to detection limit after 2 days in the microcosms without M-CD. In conclusion, microbial inoculation with appropriate carbon sources and removal of natural flora and grazers are required for the efficient ex situ bioremediation of sediments contaminated by PAHs in bioslurry reactor.

Using a novel pine needle agar, fifteen bacterial species were isolated from pine litter. These bacteria were able to degrade aromatic hydrocarbons derived from lignin and utilize the ortho-cleavage of the $\beta$-ketoadipate pathway to degrade protocatechuate or catechol. A different utilization array of aromatic hydrocarbons by these bacteria was also determined. This study provides the information on bacterial species living in pine litter and suggests that these bacteria have metabolic abilities to utilize aromatic hydrocarbons derived from lignin biodegradation.

The equilibrium solubilization capacity of the mixture of hydrocarbon oils by $C_{12}E_8$ nonionic surfactant micellar solution was measured at $23^{\circ}C$ by gas chromatography (GC) analysis. Experimental results indicated that the solubilization capacity for pure alkanes was found to decrease almost linearly with the alkane carbon number (ACN) of the hydrocarbon oil. For the binary mixture systems of the hydrocarbon oils both selective and nonselective solubilization behaviors were observed depending on the difference in ACN of the two hydrocarbon oils. Equilibrium solubilization tests for the hydrocarbon oil mixtures in $C_{12}E_8$ surfactant solutions such as the three n-octane/n-nonane, n-nonane/n-decane and n-decane/n-undecane mixture systems suggest almost non-selective solubilization. On the other hand, the n-octane/n-decane and n-octane/n-undecane systems, where difference in ACN of the two hydrocarbon oils is greater than 1, selective solubilization in favor of n-octane was conclusively demonstrated.

To evaluate the effects of microorganism agents on oil biodegradation, treatability and microcosm studies were conducted. Petroleum oil degrading bacteria were isolated from enriched cultures of oil-contaminated sediment samples using a mineral salts medium (MSM) containing 0.5% Arabian heavy crude oil as the sole carbon source. After a 5 day-incubation period using MSM, mixed microorganisms of three species (strains BS1, BS2 and BS4) degraded 48.4% of aliphatic hydrocarbons and 30.5% of aromatic hydrocarbons. Treatability and microcosm tests were performed in the three different treatment conditions (AO: Arabian heavy crude oil, AO+IN: Arabian heavy crude oil+inorganic nutrient, AO+IN+MM: Arabian heavy crude oil+inorganic nutrient+mixed microorganism agents). Among these, significantly enhanced biodegradation of aliphatic hydrocarbons were observed in AO+IN and AO+IN+MM conditions, without showing any different biodegradation rates in either condition. However, the degradation rates of aromatic hydrocarbons in an AO+IN+MM condition were increased by 50% in the treatability test and by 13% in the microcosm test compared to those in an AO+IN condition. Taken together, it can be concluded that mixed microorganism agents enhance the biodegradation of aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons in laboratory, a treatability test, and a microcosm test. This agent could especially be a useful tool in the application of bioremediation for removal of aromatic hydrocarbons.
