Interactions between pyridine hydrodenitrogenation (HDN) and m-cresol hydrodeoxygenation(HDO), and the kinetic analysis were studied over sulfided $CoMo/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ catalyst at the range of temperatures between 473 K and 723 K, the total pressures between $10{\times}10^5Pa$ and $50{\times}10^5Pa$, and the contact times between 0.0125 g-cat. hr/ml-feed and 0.03g-cat. hr/ml-feed. HDN of pyridine and HDO of m-cresol were inhibited by each other and the inhibition effect of HDO by pyridine is higher than that of HDN by m-cresol. But reactivity of m-cresol is higher than that of pyridine. The rate equations of pyridine and m-cresol were given to be ${\gamma}_{HDN}=k_{HDN}{\cdot}K_pC_p/(1+K_cC_c+K_pC_p)$ and ${\gamma}_{HDO}=k_{HDO}{\cdot}K_cC_c/(1+K_cC_c+K_pC_p)$ in terms of Langmuir-Hinshellwood-Hougen-Watson model. At each temperature, reaction rate constants and adsorption equilibrium constants were determined and activation energies of pyridine HDN and m-cresol HDO are 13.83kcal/mol, respectively and the heat of adsorption are -6.458 and -5.045kcal/mol, respectively.

In this work, a new type of biosorbent was prepared from the biochar of Liriodendron tulipifera L. by adding an activation process using water vapor. By using the biosorbent, the removal characteristics of nikel ions in the water phase were investigated. When the equilibrium experiments to remove both 5 and 10 mg/L of nikel ions were performed, the adsorption amount of nickel ions was 4.2 and 5.4 mg/g, respectively. Also, the optimal initial pH was 6 to increase the removal efficiency with respect to two different nickel concentrations of 5 and 10 mg/L. To enhance the removal efficiency of 10 mg/L of nikel ions, a chemical treatment using critic acid was applied for the biosorbent. In addition, 100% removal efficiency was observed for 10 mg/L of nikel ions when the experiment was conducted for 2 h using the modified biosorbent treated by 4 M of critic acid. The results of desorption experiment to recover nikel ions indicated that 0.1 M of nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) was selected as the optimal desorption agent. Consequently, these experimental results could be employed as an economical and environmentally friendly technology for the development of nickel removal processes.

We precisely measured and analyzed the dynamics of peptide-antibody interactions, using an ellipsometric biosensor based on a silicon substrate. To reduce the signal error due to the imperfect flatness of the substrate for extremely low concentrations of peptide, we fabricated the biosensor with a silicon substrate coated with Dextran SAM, instead of a glass prism coated with a thin metallic thin film. At an injection speed of $100{\mu}l/min$ of buffer liquid, we detected the dynamics of antibody-Dextran SAM or peptide-antibody fixed on biosensor, respectively. We detected the dynamics of antibody-Dextran SAM interactions down to a low concentration of 5 ng per liter, and we precisely measured the dynamics of association and dissociation of peptide and antibody down to 100 nM of peptide. We obtained the rate constants for association and dissociation from fitting the data by using deduced dynamical equation. As a result, we obtained an equilibrium constant for dissociation of 97 nM of peptide-antibody complex, which belongs to Class I.

The sorption experiment of cobalt was performed after the TRIGA soil was intentionally contaminated with cobalt was found that the sorption equilibrium coeficiency of soil decontamination was high when the ratio of soil mass to the volume of citric acid becomes 1:5 The TRIGA soil contaminated with 0.01 M, 0.001 M, and 0.0001 M of cobalt solution were decontaiminated with 0.01 M citric acid. The cobalt concentrtion in the wastewater were measured to be correspondingly 36.0, 14.0, 1.5 ppm. The results of wastewater recycling experiment by chemical precipitation method revealed that corresponding cobalt removal efficiency were 97% 88%. It was shown that the removal efficiency decreases as the cobalt concentration in the wastewater decreases. During the decontamination experiment, a lot of NaOH had to be added, and the volume of final solid waste reached almost 10% of that of the contaminated soil. The result of wastewater recyling experiment by ion exchange resin meted rethod revealed that to more the strong acid resins are used, the higher the cobalt removal efficiency becomes and the cobalt removal efficiency becomes and the lower the pH of recycling wastewater become. In order to obtain more than 95% removal efficiency, more than 0.625 g of strong acid resin was necessary in each of 3 experiments. There was an unexpected problem that a lot of strong acid resin waste was produced which amounts to 9.2% (volume) of the contaminated soil.

We investigated the mobilization of Cd, Pb, and Cr in two different soils in response to sorption capacities and competition for available sorption site while they moved under saturated water conditions. Two soil samples that were clay and sandy clay loam were collected within 20 cm from the upland surface. To do this, we used three different systems of heavy metal combinations such as single, binary, and ternary as solution phase. And then we observed the breakthrough curve (BTC) and elution as a function of pore volume by applying heavy metal solution and displacing K solution until these curves reached to maximum and minimum. The results showed that BTC and elution curves were not symmetric and it required more pore volumes with increasing species of heavy metals in solution phase, as well as longer tailings. Compared the areas over and under BTC and elution curve, relatively small amount of heavy metal was displaced by K even though there were differences in electronegativity among heavy metals. Conclusively, we assumed that heavy metals transport in soil could be influenced by soil physical nonequilibrium and chemical equilibrium in solution as far as there were more than two species of heavy metals existed.

일반적인 박막 성장용 CVD는 막 성장 시간이 짧게는 수분에서 수시간 정도 소요하기 때문에 장비에 문제가 발생 할 시 조치를 취하고 다음 현상을 개선하기에 용이 하였다. 그리고 대분분의 장비가 국산화되어 있을 만큼 많은 경험치가 축척되어 있다. 그러나 2, 4 족 화합물 성장용 CVD는 고아학 렌즈 생산용 장비로 국내에서는 아직 생소하고 공정 경험이 없는 새로운 장비이다. 2,4 족 화합물의 특징은 다음과 같다. 2,4 족 화합물은 M, N 이라는 두가 물질이 결합하여 형성한다. 2,4 족 화합물은 높은 융점과 낮은 증기압을 갖니다. 이런 물질들은 고온에서 아래와 같이 평형적으로 반응한다. $$nMN_{(s)}=nM_{(g)}+Nn_{(g)}$$ 화합물인 $MN_{(g)}$의 상태로 존재할 수 있으나 일바적으로 n=2인 4족 원소의 2원자 분자로된 기체가 지배적이다. 증기상을 이용한 성장 공정에서는 구성 원자나 분자를 만들어내는 단계, 이들을 공급원에서 기판까지 수송하는 단계, 기판 위에 흡착하는 단계, 핵의 생성과 단결정을 생성하는 단계, 필요치 않는 구성물을 제거하는 단계를 거쳐 공정이 진행 된다. 각 공정은 성장 물질에 충분한 자유도를 주어야하고 자유도를 주기 위해서는 많은 열에너지가 공급 되어야 한다. 따라서 기존의 박막 성장 공정 보다 성장 속도가 느리고 증착하는 양보다는 버리는 양이 많으며 버려지는 성장물질들은 급격한 온도 변화가 생기는 곳에서 급격히 증착하기 시작한다. 본 성장 공정이 진행되는 압력은 30 torr 부근이며 공정 온도는 $1000^{\circ}C$ 부근이다. 30 torr 영역에서는 열전달이 대기압과 같은 속도로 진행되기 때문에 지속적으로 온도에의해 손상을 받는 부위가 있을 수 있다. 높은 공정 온도와 높은 공정 압력은 내부 구조물로 발생된 열을 빠르게 장비 표면으로 수송하게 되고 그 결과 장비의 연결 부분에 장착된 오링에 손상을 주게 된다. 오링 손상을 방지 하기위해 냉각수 라인을 형성하여 오링을 보호하게 되면 열역학적 기울기가 급격히 발생하는 부분이므로 CVD의 반응 부산물들이 빠른 시간동안 증착하게 되고 막히는 현상이 발생하게 된다. 목표한 두게까지 박막을 성장시키기 위해서는 장시간 공정이 필수이며 장시간 공정을 안정적으로 가져가지 위해서는 배기 라인의 막힘 현상을 해결하여야 한다. 본 논문에서는 막힘 현상의 진행을 시간에 따라 해석하였으며 장시간 공정을 진행하기위해 필요한 요소와 기구적으로 조치가 가능한 방법에 대해 작성하였다.

A xylanase was purified from the culture supernatant of Bacillus sp. A-6 by using ultrafiltration and ion exchange chromatography on the column of SP-Sepharose using 5 mM acetate buffer, pH 5.0. The xylanase was eluted from the column at the concentration less than 0.05 M NaCl. The eluted xylanase was shown to be a single protein band in SDS-PAGE. Zymogram analysis indicated that the protein band in SDS-PAGE had the enzyme activity to hydrolyze oat spelt xylan. The molecular weights of the xylanase were 15,000 based on SDS-PAGE and 14,100 based on gel filtration chromatography. Thin layer chromatography showed that the xylanase hydrolyzed oat spelt xylan into xylobiose and high-molecular-weight xylooligosaccharides. The relative activities of the heated xylanase decreased to 80% at $40^{\circ}C$ after 7 hr and less than 40% at $60^{\circ}C$ after 1 hr.

Mobile bacterial particles can act as carriers and enhance the transport of hydrophobic contaminants in ground water by reducing retardation effects. Because of their colloidal size and favorable surface conditions, bacteria can act as efficient contaminant carriers. When such carriers exist in a porous medium, the system can be thought of as three phases: an aqueous phase, a carrier phase, and a stationary solid matrix phase. Contaminant can be present in either or all of these phases. In this study, a mathematical model based on mass balances is developed to describe the transport and fate of biodegradable contaminant in a porous medium. Bacterial mass transfer mechanism between aqueous and solid matrix phases, and contaminant mass transfer between aqueous and bacterial phases are represented by kinetic models. Governing equations are non-dimensionalized and solved to analyze the bacteria facilitated contaminant transport. The numerical results of the facilitation effect match favorably with experimental data reported in the literature. Results show that the contaminant transport can be described by local equilibrium assumption when Damkohler numbers are larger than 10. Significant sensitivities to model parameters, particularly bacterial growth rate and influent bacterial concentration, were discovered.

Synthesis of ETBE as an octane number enhancer from ethanol and isobutene in a flow reactor under atmospheric pressure was studied. Amberlyst-15 and Amberlyst XN-1010 were used as catalysts within the temperature range of $70-140^{\circ}C$. The activity of Amberlyst 15 was higher than that of Amberlyst XN-1010. The reaction rate data obtained under differential reactor condition were tested by a linear regression method to determine the reaction mechanism and kinetic parameters. The ETBE synthesis reaction seems to be proceeded via the LHHW(Langmuir-Hinshelwood-Hougen-Watson) machanism. The activation energy of the surface reaction was estimated by the reaction rate constants as well as the adsorption equilibrium constants. Apparent activation energies are 18.64 and 24.19kcal/mol for Amberlyst-15 and Amberlyst XN-1010, respectively.

Dyeing behavior of Silk/Cationic dyeable polyester(CDP) mixed filament was investigated by using a cationic dye. The effect of pH, temperature and additives such as carrier, levelling agent and salt were examined for each silk and CDP component of mixed filament in order to find out the optimum dyeing condition. Based on these results, the dyeing behavior was investigated for Silk/CDP mixed filaments concering various dyeing parameters. The dye adsorption was significantly changed on the dyeing temperature, carrier addition and pH of the dyebath. Specially, the dye migration phynomena were observed for a mixed filament, showing that the dyes initially observed on the surface of silk fiber migrate to the CDP component during a dyeing process. The dyeing of Silk/CDP mixed filaments accompanied by dye migration and as a result, dye adsorption can be developed only for a CDP component. Therefore, the control of dyeing temperature is most important for a Silk/CDP mixed filament, in order that both silk and CDP component are able to be dyed by a cationic dye simultaneously in one bath/one dye system.
