본 연구는 제주지역 농경지 이용유형과 토양특성별 미생물체량과 탈수소효소활성을 평가 하고자 수행하였다. 제주지역 밭(50), 과수원(50), 논(30), 시설재배(30) 토양을 3월에 채취 후 토양화학성과 탈수소효소활성, 미생물체량을 분석하였다. 밭 토양의 평균 pH는 6.3이었고 과수원, 시설재배지 토양은 조사지점간에 화학성분 함량의 차이가 크게 나타났다. 돈분퇴비를 시용하는 감귤재배농가의 토양 내 아연과 구리함량은 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 토양 탈수소효소활성과 미생물체량은 농경지 이용유형에 상관없이 비화산회 토양이 화산회토양보다 높았다. 탈수소효소활성은 밭 토양이 과수원, 논, 시설재배지 토양보다 2-4배 이상 높았고 비화산회토의 밭토양은 38.7 ug TPF $24^{h-1}g^{-1}$를 나타냈다. 미생물체량은 시설재배지 토양이 가장 많았으며 시설재배지 비화산회토양은 216.8 $mg\;kg^{-1}$였다. 시설재배지의 비화산회토양은 탈수소효소활성과 토양유기물($R^2$=0.59), 아연($R^2$=0.65), 구리($R^2$=0.66)의 함량간에 높은 정의 상관관계를 보였다. 화산회토의 밭토양은 유기물함량과 탈수소효소 활성간에 높은 부의상관관계($R^2$=0.57)를 나타냈다.

Study on the removal of Acid Green 20 by adsorption on indigenously prepared activated carbons from cow dung, mango stone, parthenium leaves and commercial activated carbon have been carried out with an aim to obtain information on treating effluents from tanneries. The effects of various experimental parameters have been investigated by following the batch adsorption technique. Adsorption data was modeled with the Freundlich and Langmuir isotherms. Removal of Acid Green 20 was found to be favorable using Biomass ash and could be considered as alternatives to commercial activated carbon for the treatment of tannery effluents, especially for the removal of dye(s).

The development of a low cost catalyst with high performance and small amount of carbon deposition on catalyst from toluene steam reforming were investigated by using coal ash as a support material. Ni-loaded coal ash catalyst showed similar catalytic activity for toluene steam reforming compared with the Ni/Al2O3. At 800 ℃, the toluene conversion was 77% for Ni/TAL, 68% for Ni/KPU and 78% for Ni/Al2O3. Ni/TAL showed similar toluene conversion to Ni/Al2O3. However, Ni/KPU produced higher hydrogen yield at relatively lower toluene conversion. Ni/KPU catalyst showed a remarkable ability of suppressing the carbon deposition. The difference in coke deposition and hydrogen yield is due to the composition of KPU ash (Ca and Fe) which increase coke resistance and water gas shift reaction. This study suggests that coal ash catalysts have great potential for the application in the steam reforming of biomass tar.

BACKGROUND: The salt in soil interrupts crop growth. Therefore, water resources are used to remove any salt found in the soil. However, water resources have been reduced by global warming; thus, a new study is required into reducing the salt in soil. Recently, the bottom ash (BA) of a biomass power plant was found to be similar to biochar. Hence, it can be used to remove heavy metals and wastewater through the adsorption characteristics of BA. The objective of this study was to evaluate the improvement effects on crop growth in saline soil containing the BA from biomass power plants. METHODS AND RESULTS: The effect on crop growth in the saline soil supplemented with BA was studied with the crop-planted pots, which were packed by reclaimed greenhouse soils collected from Byolyang, Suncheon. The BA application level was 25, 50, 100, 200, and 400 kg/10a (referred as BA25, BA50, BA100, BA200, and BA400, respectively). The BA increased the fresh weights of the leaf and root, while nitrogen uptake increased by approximately 24-102% and 54-77%, respectively for the lead and root. The phosphorous uptake increased by 38%, although only in the leaf of the lettuce. In the case of soil, BA increased water content, pH, EC, CEC, and NH₄⁺ and the SAR of the soil decreased by 5-15%. The bottom ash increased the contents of Ca²⁺ and Mg²⁺, and fixed the amount of Na⁺. CONCLUSION(S): It was confirmed the bottom ash of a biomass power plant, based on wood pellets, improved crop growth, and increased the nutrient uptake of crops in saline soil. In addition, bottom ash, which has a wide range of porosity and high values of pH and EC, improved properties of the saline soil. However, the BA has a large amount of B, As, and heavy metals. Finally, it may require a study on the safety and contamination of heavy metals contained in the bottom ash, which would be applied in soil for a long time.

In recent years, the municipal wastes recognized resources. This study was performed to survey the changes of main components of the pretreated(chemical, physical) lignocellulosic biomass. The result can be summerized as follows; In pulp fiber composition, newsprint and corrugating container were mainly consist of softwood fiber(tracheid). But computer print out and magazine had a large amount of hardwood fiber(wood fiber). And, carbohydrate content in the various lignocellulosic biomass increases as the following orders : Magazine < Newsprint < Corrugating container < Computer print out. In the chemical pretreatments for the delignification, sodium hypochlorite pretreatment was more effective than sodium hydroxide. By washing, ash content of lignocellulosic biomass was decreased. Physical pretreatments were less effective than chemical pretreatment for the delignification. On the other hand, in physical pretreatments, ash content of lignocellulosic biomass was the same tendency as in the chemical pretreatments.

본 연구는 평로탄화로 이용한 성형목탄 제조과정에서 얻은 탄화된 바이오매스의 특성을 분석하였으며, 기계적 전처리 및 평로탄화로 내 위치에 따른 특성 차이를 비교하고자 하였다. 성형목탄 제조업체에서 채취된 바이오매스 1종과 탄화 바이오매스 5종의 시료를 대상으로 선별(screening) 및 분쇄(grinding)를 통해 분석시료의 입자크기 범위별로 분류한 후, 고정탄소, 회분, 휘발성 화합물, 원소 함량, 발열량을 측정하였다. 실험 결과, 평로탄화로의 위치에 따라서는 중간층의 탄화 바이오매스 발열량이 20.4 MJ/kg으로 가장 높은 연료적 특성을 나타내었다. 선별 입자 크기에 따라서는 100 mesh 이하의 탄화 바이오매스에서 회분함량이 가장 낮았고 발열량, 탄소 함량, 고정탄소 함량은 높았다. 상관관계 분석 결과 회분 함량은 발열량, 휘발성화합물, 고정탄소, 탄소 함량과 모두 음의 상관관계를 나타내어 회분 함량이 연료적 특성에 부정적인 영향을 미치는 것을 확인하였다.

Different biosolid fuel (wood pellet) properties between trunk and root of pine (Pinus densiflora) biomass were investigated. Trunk has more organic solvent extracts and Klason lignin content which has higher heating values than root biomass component. In root biomass, polysaccharides content was higher than trunk biomass. Based on Higher Heating Value (HHD) analysis and ash content, trunk biomass showed better solid fuel characteristics than root biomass. But pine root biomass had lower HHD than trunk biomass, its HHD values were higher than other hardwood or annual plant lignocellulosic biomass.

Biomass is considered to be a major potential fuel and renewable resource for the future. In fact, there is high potential to produce the large amount of energy from biomass around the world. In this study, to obtain basic data for practical application of agricultural and forest by-products as fuel of heating system in agriculture, agricultural and forest biomass resources were surveyed, the pelletizer with capacity of $50\;kg{\cdot}h^{-1}$ was designed and manufactured and pellets were made by the pelletizer. High heating value, ash content, etc. of pellets made of agricultural and forest by-products were estimated. Straw of rice was the largest agricultural biomass in 2009 and the total amount of rice straw converted into energy of $299{\times}10^3$ TOE. And in 2009, amount of forest by-product converted into energy of $9,579{\times}10^3$ TOE. High heating values of pellets made of stem and seed of rape, stem of oat, rice straw and rice husk were 16,034, 16,026, 16,089, 15,650, $15,044\;kJ{\cdot}kg^{-1}$ respectively. High heating values of pellets made of agricultural by-products were average 83.6% compared to that of wood pellet. Average bulk density of pellets made of stem and seed of rape, stem of oat, rice straw and rice husk was $1,400\;kg{\cdot}m^{-3}$ ($1.4\;g{\cdot}cm^{-3}$). Ash contents of the pellets were 6.6, 7, 6.2, 5.5, 33% respectively. Rice husk pellet produced the largest ash content compared to other kinds of pellets.

담수 토양에서의 토양호흡량은 호기 상태에 비해 매우 낮은 수준이나, 혐기 상태에서의 유기물의 분해는 담수 생태계의 탄소순환에 매우 중요한 역할을 한다. 한편, 비산회(fly ash), 석탄바닥재 (bottom ash)와 같은 석탄 연료 부산물들은 이산화탄소 발생을 저감하고 토양 탄소를 격리하는 효과가 있음이 보고된 바 있다. 이에 본 연구는 혐기조건 토양에서 석탄바닥재 단일 처리 및 석탄바닥재와 유기물 혼합 처리가 토양 미생물 호흡량 및 미생물 생체량 변화에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 이산화탄소 발생속도는 석탄바닥재 처리에 의해 유의하게 감소하였고, 처리수준에 따라서도 감소하는 것을 보였다. 유기물과 석탄바닥재를 혼합 처리하였을 때에도 발생속도가 감소되는 것을 확인하였다. 석탄바닥재 처리에 따라 토양미생물 생체량은 유의하게 증가하였고, 토양 중 암모니아태 질소, 질산태 질소, 유효인의 함량은 감소하는 경향이 있었다.
