본 연구에서는 산성을 갖는 Fe-ZSM5를 담체로 활용하여 Pd, Pt 등 귀금속을 담지한 후, 제조 촉매의 암모니아의 선택적 산화반응 활성을 평가하였다. 이들 중 Pt/Fe-ZSM5가 Pd/Fe-ZSM5 보다 높은 활성을 나타냈다. 또한 Pt/Fe-ZSM5 촉매에서 ZSM5 구조체 내 Fe의 이온교환량을 달리한 촉매의 실험을 수행하여, 암모니아의 선택적 산화반응에 가장 우수한 활성을 보이는 최적 조성비를 탐색하였다. 그 결과, Fe의 이온교환량이 적을수록 반응 활성이 증가하는 경향을 보였고, 저온 영역인 $250^{\circ}C$에서 100%의 암모니아 전환율을 나타냈다. 이와 같이 암모니아의 선택적 산화반응에 효과적인 Fe-ZSM5 담체에 대하여, ICP-AES, BET, XRD, $NH_3$-TPD 등과 같은 특성 분석을 수행하여 제조 촉매의 구조와 물성이 반응활성에 미치는 영향을 검토해보았다.

Parainfluenza virus 감염은 횡문근융해증의 하나의 원인이 될 수 있다. 횡문근융해증은 지속된 금식기간동안 미토콘드리아 지방산 ${\beta}$-oxidation 장애에 의해 악화될 수 있다. 또한 후기 발생 isovaleric 산증을 가진 환아들에게서 고암모니아혈증이 이화작용을 일으키는 상태 후 발생할 수 있다. 본 케이스는 parainfluenza virus 감염과 후기 발생 isovaleric 산증을 가진 4세 남아가 혼수, 경련 및 심호흡 부전으로 빠르게 진행했던 경우이다. 초기 암모니아와 creatinine kinase는 각각 $385{\mu}Mol/L$과 23,707 IU/L 이었으나 지속적 신대체요법 시행 후 암모니아와 creatinine kinase 수치는 정상으로 돌아왔다. 그러므로 생명을 위협하는 횡문근융해증과 고암모니아혈증을 가진 환아들의 치료에 있어서 즉각적인 지속적 신대체요법의 사용을 권하는 바이다.

본 연구에서는 바나듐 레독스 흐름전지의 효율을 향상시키고자 탄소펠트에 열산화 반응과 암모니아수 처리를 이용하여 질소가 도핑된 탄소펠트 전극을 제조하였다. 또한 제조된 탄소펠트 전극의 전기화학적 특성평가를 위하여 CV 실험 및 충/방전 실험을 실시하였다. 암모니아수 처리온도가 증가함에 따라 탄소펠트 표면의 질소 관능기가 증가함을 XPS를 통하여 확인하였으며, CV 측정 결과 암모니아수 처리된 탄소펠트는 열산화된 탄소펠트에 비하여 산화/환원의 반응성이 우수함을 확인하였다. 충/방전 실험결과 $300^{\circ}C$에서 암모니아수 처리한 탄소펠트 전극은 열산화된 탄소펠트 전극보다 에너지효율, 전압효율, 전류효율이 각각 약 6.93, 1.0, 4.5%씩 향상됨을 알 수 있었다. 이는 질소 관능기가 탄소펠트 전극과 전해질 사이의 전기화학적 성능 향상에 도움을 주었기 때문으로 사료된다.

The interface of zirconium oxide thin films on silicon is analyzed in detail for their potential applications in the microelectronics. The formation of an interfacial layer of ZrSi$\sub$x/O$\sub$y. with graded Zr concentration is observed by the x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and secondary ion mass spectrometry analysis. The as-deposited ZrO$_2$/ZrSi$\sub$x/O$\sub$y//Si sample is thermally stable up to 880$^{\circ}C$, but is less stable compared to the ZrO$_2$/SiO$_2$/Si samples. Post-deposition annealing in oxygen or ammonia improved the thermal stability of as-deposited ZrO$_2$/ZrSi$\sub$x/O$\sub$y/Si to 925$^{\circ}C$, likely due to the oxidation/nitridation of the interface. The as-deposited film had an equivalent oxide thickness of∼13 nm with a dielectric constant of ∼21 and a leakage current of 3.2${\times}$10e-3 A/$\textrm{cm}^2$ at 1.5V. Upon oxygen or ammonia annealing, the formation of SiO$\sub$x/ and SiH$\sub$x/N$\sub$y/O$\sub$z/ at the interface reduced the overall dielectric constants.

A metabolic uncoupler, 3,3',4',5-tetrachlorosalicylanilide (TCS), was used to reduce excess sludge production in biological wastewater treatment processes. Batch experiments confirmed that 0.4 mg/l of TCS reduced the aerobic growth yield of activated sludge by over 60%. However, the growth yield remained virtually constant even at the increased concentrations of TCS when cultivations were carried out under the anoxic condition. Reduction of sludge production yield was confirmed in a laboratory-scale anoxic-oxic process operated for 6 months. However, it was found that ammonia oxidation efficiency was reduced by as much as 77% in the presence of 0.8 mg/l of TCS in the batch culture. Similar results were also obtained through batch inhibition tests with activated sludges and by bioluminescence assays using a recombinant Nitrosomonas europaea (pMJ217). Because of this inhibitory effect of TCS on nitrification, the TCS-fed continuous system failed to remove ammonia in the influent. When TCS feeding was stopped, the nitrification yield of the process was resumed. Therefore, it seems to be necessary to assess the nitrogen content of wastewater if TCS is used for reducing sludge generation.

The conventional activated sludge processes were operated as a combined organic substrate removal and nitrification. So, it was necessary to provide with oxygen for both carbon and ammonia removal. But, in the BNR processes, nitrification is separated from carbon removal that causes fast ammonia oxidation and reduced oxygen demands. And most of the substrate is utilized by denitrification organisms and phosphorus accumulating organisms. with these appearances, mathematical model for BNR processes different from IWA ASM can be simplified and applied. In this study, it was performed that the existing equations as McKinney model, nitrification model published by U.S. EPA and oxygen demands from stoichiometry and the relationship between NUR and OUR were applied to full-scale BNR processes and the results were compared with the measured. and it is possible to make out the optimum design parameter from those equations.

Recently, an autotrophic single-stage nitrogen removal (ASSNR) process based on the anaerobic ammonium oxidation (ANAMMOX) reaction has been proven as an economical ammonia treatment. It is highly evident that double-layered gel beads are a promising alternative to the natural biofilm for ASSNR because of the high mechanical strength of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/alginate structure and efficient protection of ANAMMOX bacteria from dissolved oxygen (DO) due to the thick outer layer. However, the thick outer layer results in severe mass transport limitation and consequent lowered bacterial activity. Therefore, the effects of the thickness of the outer layer on the overall reaction rate were tested in the biofilm model using AQUASIM for ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB), nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (NOB) and ANAMMOX bacteria. A thickness of 0.5~1.0 mm is preferred for the maximum total nitrogen (TN) removal. In addition, a DO of 0.5 mg/L resulted in the best total nitrogen removal. A higher DO induces NOB activity and consequent lower TN removal efficiency. The optimal density of AO B and NO B density was 1~10% for a 10% ANAMMOX bacterial in the double-layered PVA/alginate gel beads. The real effects of operating parameters of the thickness of the outer layer, DO and concentrations of biomass balance should be intensively investigated in the controlled experiments in batch and continuous modes.

Ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) were enriched by repeating fed-batch cultivations in an AOB-selective medium of activated sludges from a domestic wastewater treatment plant. Enriched culture showed strong capabilities of ammonia oxidation [0.810 mg $NH_4^+$-N/mg mixed liquor suspended solids (MLSS)$\cdot$day] as well as $NO_x^-$-N production (0.617 mg $NO_x^-$-N/ mg MLSS$\cdot$day). Degree of enrichment was examined through fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) analyses using an AOB-specific Cy3-labeled oligonucleotide probe (NSOl90) and terminal-restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) analyses. FISH analyses confirmed that the fraction of AOB among 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI)-stained cells increased from about less than $0.001\%$ to approximately $42\%$ after enrichment of AOB, and T-RFLP analyses showed that bacterial community became simpler as enrichment was continued. When the enriched culture of AOB was added (150 mg/l as dry suspended solid) to the normal activated sludge (3,000 mg/l as dry suspended solid), nitrification efficiencies were improved from 0.020 mg $NO_x^-$-N/mg MLSS$\cdot$day to 0.041 mg $NO_x^-$-N/mg MLSS$\cdot$day in a synthetic wastewater and also from 0.0007 mg $NO_x^-$-N/mg MLSS$\cdot$day to 0.0918 mg $NO_x^-$-N/mg MLSS$\cdot$day in a real domestic wastewater. Therefore, it is expected that this enrichment method could be used for improving efficiency of nitrification in wastewater treatment plants.

The feasibility of applying the shortcut nitrogen removal process to treat livestock wastewater on individual farms was examined, and appropriate operating parameters were established. As a result,, it was determined that the nitrification reaction was carried out under 550 mg/L of ammonium nitrogen concentration, but it was less effective under conditions of high ammonia concentration. Consequently, it was confirmed that a partial injection of inflow water was necessary to minimize the effects of ammonia toxicity. Following the sequential batch reactor (SBR) operation results, it was difficult to achieve the effluent quality standard without an external carbon source. Also, selection of the appropriate hydraulic retention time was critical for the optimal SBR operation. Following the livestock farm application, with external carbon source injecting, the total nitrogen concentration in the effluent was 85.1 mg/L. This result revealed that the standard could be accomplished through a single treatment on individual livestock farms. The ratio of nitrite nitrogen to ammonia nitrogen in the effluent was verified to be suitable for implementing the anammox process with a 10 days of hydraulic retention time. This study demonstrated the potential applicability of process in the future. However, in order to apply to livestock farms, managing variations in wastewater load across individual farms and addressing reduced nitrogen oxidation efficiency during the winter season are crucial.

V₂O₅-TiO₂ catalysts were prepared by various methods. V₂O₅-TiO₂ were prepared by sol-gel method with different drying conditions (aerogel and xerogel), and V₂O₅ supported on TiO₂ obtained by sol-gel method with precipitation-deposition method and impregnation method. The performance of the V₂O₅-TiO₂ catalysts was investigated for the selective oxidation of hydrogen sulfide in the stream containing both ammonia and excess water. All the catalysts showed good dispersion of vanadium and they had high H₂S conversion with no or little production of sulfur dioxide. The V₂O₅-TiO₂ aerogel catalyst prepared by sol-gel method with drying under super critical condition had the highest surface area which led to better catalytic activity compared to those by other synthesis methods.
