수소는 지구상에 풍부하게 존재하는 원소로 최근 수소경제시대에 대한 기대와 함께 청정 에너지 carrier로 주목받고 있다. 본 연구에서는 고순도 수소 생산을 위해 water gas shift (WGS) 반응과 $CO_2$의 분리를 하나의 unit operation의 형태로 수행하는 신개념의 thermal swing sorption enhanced reaction (TSSER) 공정의 타당성을 테스트하는데 목적을 두고 있다. Le Chatelier 원리를 기본으로 하는 흡착분리 동시 반응 (sorption enhanced reaction, SER)에서는 수소생산 반응의 열역학적 한계를 극복할 수 있고 정반응의 속도를 증대시킬 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 $K_2CO_3$가 첨가된 hydrotalcite에 대한 고온에서의 $CO_2$ 화학흡착 평형 및 거동 데이터를 실험을 통하여 측정하였다. 또한 WGS 상용촉매와 화학 흡착제를 이용하여 흡착분리 동시 반응을 실험과 수치해석 시뮬레이션으로 수행하였고, 연구결과로부터 연료전지에 사용할 수 있는 고순도의 수소 (~10 ppm CO)를 직접 생산할 수 있으며, 동시에 고압상태의 $CO_2$를 고순도로 포집할 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 고압, 고순도의 $CO_2$ 포집은 이후 $CO_2$ 저장에 용이하게 이용되어 온실가스 저감에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

The removal of 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-dichlorophenol, 2,4-DCP) in aqueous solution was studied using the magnetic activated carbon (MAC) prepared from waste citrus peel. The adsorption characteristics of 2,4-DCP by MAC were investigated by varying the contact time, MAC dose, solution temperature, pH and 2,4-DCP concentration. The isothermal adsorption data were well explained by the Langmuir isotherm model equation and the maximum adsorption capacity calculated from the Langmuir isotherm equation was 312.5 mg/g. The adsorption kinetic data were well described by the pseudo-second-order reaction equation. The intraparticle diffusion model data indicated that both the film and intraparticle diffusion occur simultaneously during the adsorption process. The thermodynamic parameters of ${\Delta}H^o$ and ${\Delta}G^o$ have positive and negative values, respectively, indicating that the adsorption of 2,4-DCP by MAC is a spontaneous endothermic reaction. After the adsorption experiment was completed, the used MAC could be easily separated by an external magnet.

Formaldehyde is one of the toxic substances without any color and smell. Several methods to remove formaldehyde has been investigated up to now. Here, both the enzymatic and chemisorptive/catalytic liquid phase formaldehyde removal were investigated, and their catalytic activities in terms of specific activities were compared. Firstly, formaldehyde dehydrogenase (FDH) enzyme from Escherichia coli K12 was cloned, and expressed in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3). And the catalytic activity was characterized as $2.49{\times}10^3sec^{-1}mM^{-1}$ of $k_{cat}/K_m$ with 8.69 U/mg of the specific activity. Secondly, the chemisorptive and oxidative catalytic removals were investigated simultaneously. Activated carbons and zeolites treated with heat, KI, and KOH were used as chemisorption medium. And $Pd/TiO_2$ was used as an oxidative catalyst for the formaldehyde removal. All of the tested chemicals showed similar formaldehyde removal efficiencies of around 50%. However, the specific activity of FDH dependent formaldehyde removal was absolutely higher than that of using chemisorptive and catalytic removal processes with the ranges of 0.01 to 0.26 U/g.

ZSM-5계 제올라이트는 직경이 약 6${\AA}$인 균일한 3차원 채널 형태의 기공을 형성하므로 이를 이용한 기체 분리막은 분자체가름(molecular sieving)이나 미세기공확산(micropore diffusion) 및 표면확산(surface diffusion) 메커니즘에 의해 최근 지구 온난화의 주범으로 지목되고 있는 CO$_2$ 기체에 대해 높은 분리 효율을 기대할 수 있으므로 ZSM-5 복합분리막의 제조 및 기체 투과 특성과 CO$_2$ 분리 특성에 대해 연구하였으며 다음과 같은 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 콜로이달 실리카 졸에 질산 알루미늄, 수산화 나트륨 및 TPABr을 첨가한 혼합졸과 물유리를 증류수로 희석한 후 TPBr을 첨가한 용액을 각각 150~180${\AA}$의 온도 범위의 오토클레이브에서 수열 처리하여 ZSM-5와 실리카라이트를 합성하였다. 합성 제올라이트의 결정 구조는 사방정이었으나 450${\AA}$에서 하소하였을 때에는 단사정으로 전이됨과 동시에 채널 속을 채우고 있던 TPABr이 제거되면서 제올라이트의 3차원 채널 형태의 기공 구조가 생성되었다. 제올라이트 결정의 형상과 크기는 실리카 공급원과 반응용액/졸의 농도에 따라 매우 민감하게 변화되었다. 하소 제올라이트의 비표면적은 약 360 m$^2$/g 이었다. 합성 제올라이트의 표면은 소수성인 반면에 높은 CO$_2$ 흡착능을 갖고 있어서 CO$_2$ 분리용 막의 재료로써 적합하였다.

We scaled up a covalent immobilization system of urokinase to the activated Sepharose and used it repeatedly to cleave a fusion protein consisting of human growth hormone and GST fragment. After scale up from 6 ml to 250 ml, the column system still demonstrated basically the same performance in terms of urokinase immobilization and fusion protein cleavage. When the column was washed with 6M guanidine HCl after the cleavage reaction. the immobilized urokinase showed no activity probably because it was fully unfolded. However. as the denaturant was gradually removed from the column the immobilized urokinase fully regained its bioactivity. which indicated it was properly refolded into its native conformation as covalently attached to the solid matrix. After 20 cycles of this 'solid-phase unfolding/refolding', the immobilized urokinase maintained approx. 80% of the initial bioactivity. This method provides an efficient protocol to apply the solid-phase refolding technique to improve the longevity of immobilized enzyme columns.

화력발전 분야에서 $CO_2$ 분리는 크게 연소전 탈탄소화(pre-combustion capture)와 연소후 포획(post-combustion capture)으로 나누어진다, 연소후 포획은 연료를 연소한 후 발생하는 $CO_2$와 $N_2$가스에서 $CO_2$를 분리하는 기술로 흡수나, 흡착, 막분리 등을 주로 이용한다, 연소전 탈탄소화는 연소 전에 $CO_2$가 발생되지 않도록 하는 기술로써, 부분 산화나 개질 및 수성가스 변위반응 등이 포함되며 생성된 $H_2$와 $CO_2$를 분리하여 수소를 생산하는 기술($CO_2/H_2$분리가 핵심)이다. 우리나라는 대부분 연소후 포획 위주로 많은 연구가 진행되어 왔다, 하지만 최근 고유가 시장이 형성되면서 석탄화력 발전 및 복합가스발전(IGCC)에 필요한 연소전 탈탄소화($H_2/CO_2$ 가스로부터 $CO_2$ 회수) 연구에 산업적 관심이 급상승되고 있다. 특히, 연소전 탈탄소화 과정에서는 높은 자체압력(약 2.5 - 5.0MPa)과 비교적 높은 농도의 $CO_2$(약 40%의)가 발생되기 때문에, 연소전 탈탄소화는 가스하이드레이트 형성/분해 원리가 가장 잘 적용될 수 있는 기술이라 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 가스 하이드레이트 형성원리를 이용하여 정온 정압 조건에서 $CO_2/H_2$ 하이드레이트를 제조하였으며 특히, 하이드레이트 형성 촉진제인 THF(Tetrahydrofuran)와 TBAB(Tetra-n-butyl ammonium bromide)를 첨가하여 각각 0.5, 1, 3mol% 농도에 따른 상평형 및 속도론 실험을 수행 하였다. 또한 라만 분석을 통하여 $CO_2$ 회수 분리에 대한 연구도 병행하였다. 이러한 연구는 연소전 탈탄소화 기술에서의 $CO_2$ 회수 분리에 대한 핵심 연구임과 동시에 탄소배출권 규제에 실질적인 기여를 할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Complexation experiment between humic acid and heavy metal cations was conducted to clear information on heavy metal adsorption by soil organic constituent. The absorbance of UV-visible light of humic acid-metal complexes increased with increasing wavelength, and the order of their absorbance was in the order of Zn->Cd->Cu- saturated humic acid. Carboxyl and phenolic OH groups participated in the complex formation between heavy metal cations and functional groups of humic acid, and the amounts complex was in the order of $Cu^{+{+}}$ > $Zn^{+{+}}$ $\geq$ $Cd^{+{+}}$. The stability constants of humic acid-metal complexes increased with increasing pH, and the order of first stability constants was $Zn^{+{+}}$ > $Cd^{+{+}}$ > $Cu^{+{+}}$, and those of second and overall stability constants were $Cu^{+{+}}$ > $Zn^{+{+}}$ > $Cd^{+{+}}$. With increasing pH, the average binding numbers betwen heavy metal cations and functional groups of humic acid increased the order of $Cu^{+{+}}$ > $Zn^{+{+}}$ > $Cd^{+{+}}$. It was postulated that two types of complexations between heavy metal cations and functional groups of humic acid. One was the reactions in which only carboxyl groups participated to form complexes, and the other was those in which both carboxyl and phenolic OH groups simultaneously participated.

Contamination of soil and groundwater by the compounds of hydrocarbon petroleum has been widely accepted as the main cause that harms the environments and health. To remove those pollutants, absorbing clothes, activated carbons, or oil-water separation devices with the gravity method are employed for treatment. However, those materials and devices cannot remove the emulsion pollutants despite of their efficiency for removing free products. Therefore, we investigated the problems which occur during the groundwater treatment for the highly concentrated suspended solid particles, which can be resulted from excavation, and to propose methods to remove TPH(Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon). After coagulation experiment with high molecular polymers, the concentration of SS(Suspended Solids) and COD(Chemical Oxygen Demand) turned to satisfy the groundwater quality criteria within 5 minutes while the concentration of TPH failed to meet the water quality standard of effluent. Consequently, the water quality criteria for effluent could not be met by single DAF(Dissolved Air Flotation) process. However all water quality criteria could be satisfied after 20 minutes when coagulation reactions are carried out simultaneously in the DAF reactor.

Biological treatment of benzene and toluene contaminated soil was investigated in laboratory microcosm of 16 different types for degrading benzene and toluene by indigenous bacteria. At the experimental conditions of the microcosms fast degrading benzene and toluene, moisture contents were 30% and 60% in a soil gap and content of powdered-activated carbon(PCA) for adhesion of benzene and toluene-degrading bacteria was 1% in total soil mass. At the conclusion of the shifted bacteria community, Case 6 and case 7 were operated until 10 days, and then the total cell number and the number of benzene and toluene degrading bacteria were investigated. The total cell number of Case 6 and Case 7 increased 488 fold and 308 fold of total indigenous cell, respectively. The number of benzene and toluene degrading bacteria increased and maintained the percentages occupied in pre-operating microcosm. Species of benzene and toluene degrading bacteria in microcosm changed from species of Gram negative bacteria to Gram positive bacterial species after soil exposed to benzene and toluene.
