  • The solid-state anaerobic digestion (SS-AD) has promoted the development and application for biogas production from biomass which operate a high solid content feedstock, as higher than 15% of total solids. However, the digested byproduct of SS-AD can be used as a fertilizer or as solid fuel, but it has serious problems: high moisture content and poor dewaterability. The organic residue from SS-AD has to be improved to address these problems and to make it a useful alternative energy source. Hydrothermal carbonization was investigated for conversion of the organic residue from the SS-AD of livestock waste to solid fuels. The effects of hydrothermal carbonization were evaluated by varying the reaction temperatures within the range of $180-240^{\circ}C$. Hydrothermal carbonization increased the calorific value through the reduction of the hydrogen and oxygen contents of the solid fuel, in addition to its drying performance. Therefore, after the hydrothermal carbonization, the H/C and O/C atomic ratios decreased through the chemical conversion. Thermogravimatric analysis provided the changed combustion characteristics due to the improvement of the fuel properties. As a result, the hydrothermal carbonization process can be said to be an advantageous technology in terms of improving the properties of organic waste as a solid-recovered fuel product.

  • $^1H-^{15}N$ heteronuclear dipolar coupling solid-state NMR experiments on lipid bilayer or bicelle samples are very useful for the structural studies of membrane proteins. However, to study these biological samples using solid-state NMR, a specific probe with high efficiency and high capability is required. In this paper, we describe the optimized design, construction, and efficiency of a 400 MHz wide-bore $^1H-^{15}N$ solid-state NMR probe with 5-mm solenoidal rf coil for high power, multi-pulse sequence experiments, such as 2D PISEMA or 2D SAMMY.

  • Linerboards containing wood flours were developed to increase solid contents in wet pressing process. Presence of wood flours in recycled fibers allowed passage of pressurized water at high wet pressing pressure, and increased solid contents while keeping the bulk of the board. The amount of wood flour addition should be controlled based on the intensity of the wet pressing pressure and the properties of the wood flours. Addition of cationic starch to the wood flour containing OCC furnish showed synergic increase of solid content and strength properties. Shapes of the wood flours such as spherical and rod type added to OCC furnish affected largely their solid content, drainage, and board physical properties.

  • A low-${\varepsilon}$ solid-state NMR(Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) probe was developed for the spectroscopic analysis of two-dimensional $^{15}N-^1H$ heteronuclear dipolar coupling in dilute membrane proteins oriented in hydrated and dielectrically lossy lipid environments. The system employed a 800 MHz narrow-bore magnet. A solenoid coil strip shield was used to reduce deleterious RF sample heating by minimizing the conservative electric fields generated by the double-tuned resonator at high magnetic fields. The probe's design, construction, and performance in solid-state NMR experiments at high magnetic fields are described here. Such high-resolution solid-state NMR spectroscopic analysis of static oriented samples in hydrated phospholipid bilayers or bicelles could aid the structural analysis of dilute biological membrane proteins.

  • The increase of OCC solid content after wet pressing will save drying energy greatly. We applied spacers, which used to increase draining rate and bulk in fiber furnishes, to increase the OCC solid contents. MDF fibers (fibers for making medium density fiberboard) and diatomaceous earth were used as spacers, and added 10% by weight to the OCC fiber furnish. Application of high wet pressing pressure to the mixed furnish of spacers and refined OCC did not deteriorate bulk and drainage rate, but their solid contents were increased to 0.5-1.5% without loss of compressive strength when compared to those of unrefined OCC, which is the furnish normally used for mill commercial practice. It is believed that the spacers caused the rate of solid content increase faster in the mixed furnish with OCC at high wet pressing pressure area than the unrefined OCC furnish did. Little amount of starch addition (0.5%) to the spacers helped to keep the strength properties.

  • Hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) is an effective and environment friendly technique; it possesses extensive potential towards producing high-energy density solid fuels. it is a carbonization method of thermochemical process at a relatively low temperature ($180-250^{\circ}C$). It is reacted by water containing raw material. However, the production and quality of solid fuels from HTC depends upon several parameters; temperature, residence time, and pressure. This study investigates the influence of operating parameters on solid fuel production during HTC. Especially, when food waste was reacted for 2 hours, 4 hours, and 8 hours at $200^{\circ}C$ and 2.0-2.5 MPa, Data including heating value, proximate analysis and water content was consequently collected and analyzed. It was found that reaction temperature, residence time are the primary factors that influence the HTC process.

  • Variable temperature high-resolution $^{19}F$ magic angle spinning (MAS) solid-state NMR spectroscopy was used to characterize fluorocarbon (FKM) rubbers. The high-resolution spectra of copolymers made from two monomers, vinylidene fluoride and hexafluoropropene, and terpolymers composed of vinylidene fluoride, hexafluoropropene, and tetrafluoroethylene, were obtained using MAS speeds of up to 18 kHz combined with high temperatures of up to 200 $^{\circ}C$ at a magnetic field strength of 9.4 Tesla. From these high resolution solid-state NMR spectra, we were able to assign the spectral peaks and differentiate the copolymer FKM from the terpolymer FKM. We also determined quantitatively the monomer compositions of each FKM rubber.

  • Various fluorine-containing materials are used in electronic devices like LCD display panels and Li-ion batteries. The structural conformation of fluorine in fluorinated materials is an important contributing factor that influences the chemical and physical properties. The conformation can be changed by heat and stress during manufacture or use. Understanding the conformational changes is critical for understanding the performance and durability of electronic devices. Solid-state NMR spectroscopy could be widely used for the analysis of various fluorine-containing materials for electronic devices. However, conventional CPMAS probes cannot be used for in-situ analysis of fluorine-containing electronic devices like LCD panels and Li-ion batteries. In this paper, we show the design, construction, and optimization of a $^{19}F-^{13}C$ double-resonance solid-state NMR probe for a 400MHz wide-bore magnet with a flat square coil for in-situ analysis of fluorine-containing electronic devices without observing fluorine background signals. This custom-built probe does not show any fluorine background signals, and can have higher efficiency for lossy samples.

  • In this study, water and organic treatment efficiency and operating characteristics (temperature, salinity effect) were evaluated when food waste with high water content was treated by Bio-dying method. In addition, the optimum conditions for producing pellets for evaluating the decomposition products as SRF(Solid Refuse Fuel) after Bio-drying and evaluating the use value of SRF as a solid fuel were analyzed. As a result, the temperature, $CO_2$ concentration, organic matter removal rate and weight reduction rate according to the daily dose were about 86% and 68% at the input of 2.4 kg/day. The optimal food waste input was estimated to be 2.4 kg/day. As a result of the pellet molding and produce, Pellets can be produced within 10~25% of raw material water content. It was judged that the water content of 25%, which showed the best quality results in terms of external shape maintenance and strength. The high calorific value of SRF of decomposition products after Bio-drying was more than 3,500 kcal/kg.
