A combination of thymol and sodium bisulfate was found to be an effective biocidal agent against strains of Burkholderia cepacia and of Xanthomonas maltophilia that were found in the space shuttle water system. Potassium iodide (KI), the biocidal agent used in the past, had a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 50,000 ppm against the two B. cepacia (541 STS-81 and 1119 STS-91) strains, whereas that of thymol and sodium bisulfate was 2,400 and 950 ppm, which was 21 and 53 times lower than that of KI for B. cepacia, respectively. The MIC value for the combination of thymol and sodium bisulfate was 4 times lower than that for thymol or sodium bisulfate alone against B. cepacia (541 STS-81, 1119 STS-91) or Pseudomonas cepacia (ATCC 31941). The fractional inhibitory concentration (FIC) of the combination of thymol and sodium bisulfate for all organisms tested was less than 0.5, indicating a strong synergistic effect.

Ammonia Adsorbed Fly Ash (AAFA) samples produced from coal fired plants equipped with SNCR (Selective Non-Catalytic Reduction) of nitrogen oxides with urea have been chemically analyzed, and their physical and dissolution properties have been investigated. XRD results for the ammonia component in AAFA ascertained that ABS (ammonium bisulfate) and AS (ammonium sulfate) were deposited on fly ash as $SO_3$ reacted with unreacted ammonia at SNCR. SEM and EDS images showed that fine ashes on large fly ash surface of sphere type were agglomerated, due to adhesive role of ammonium salts attached fly ashes. Dissolution test results of ammonium salts absorbed on AAFA in distilled water or sea water showed that the proportion of un-ionized $NH_3$ to $NH_4{^+}$ were primarily a function of pH and temperature. Increasing pH and temperature causes an increase in the fraction of un-ionized $NH_3$. At pHs of 9.6 and 10.7, un-ionized $NH_3$ and $NH_4{^+}$ ions are present in equal amounts at distilled water and sea water, respectively.

This paper discussed the effect of ammonia concentration adsorbed on fly ash for the ammonia emission as AAFA (Ammonia Adsorbed Fly Ash) produced from coal fired plants due to operation of NOx reduction technologies was landfilled with distilled or sea water at closed and open systems, respectively. Ammonia bisulfate and sulfates adsorbed on fly ash is highly water soluble. The pH of ammonium bisulfate and sulfate solution had significant effect on ammonia odor emission. The effect of temperature on ammonia odor emission from mixture was less than pH, the rate of ammonia emission increased with increased temperature when the pH conditions were kept at constant. Since AAFA increases the pH of solution substantially, $NH_3$ in the ash can release the ammonia order unless it is present at low concentration. $NH_4{^+}$ ion is unstable in fly ash and water mixtures of high pH at open system, which is changed to nitrite or nitrate and then released as ammonia gas. The proper conditions for < 20 ppm of ammonia concentration released from the AAFAs landfilled in ash pond were explored using an open system with sea water. It was therefore proposed that optimal operation to collect AAFA of less than 168 ppm ammonia at the electrostatic precipitator were controlled to ammonia slip with less than 5 ppm at SCR/SNCR installations, and, ammonia odor released from mixture of fly ash of 168 ppm ammonia with sea water under open system has about 20 ppm.

$V_{2}O_{5}$/$TiO_{2}$계 선택적촉매환원법(SCR) 촉매는 $SO_{2}$가 존재하는 조건에서 $SO_{2}$의 산화 및 암모니아의 반응에 의해 형성된 황산암모늄염으로 인해 촉매는 비활성화될 수 있다. 본 연구에 의하면, $SO_{2}$에 의한 촉매의 비활성화는 $SO_{2}$의 흡착이후 $SO_{3}$로의 산화 정도에 의존한다. $SO_{2}$의 산화는 배가스 내의 산소 농도에 약하게 영향을 받으며 바나듐 함량에 영향을 받는다. 또한 미반응 암모니아 역시 황산암모늄염 형성의 원인이므로 SCR 반응에 있어서 암모니아 투입비율에 대한 영향을 도출하였다. 황산암모늄염에 의해 비활성화된 촉매가 낮은 SCR 활성을 갖는 이유를 촉매의 기공부피 변화에서 찾을 수 있다. 이러한 황산암모늄염의 분해 반응도출을 위해 TPD (Temperature Programmed Decomposition) 실험이 수행되었다.

밤가루를 천일 건조하거나 $50^{\circ}C$로 저온 가열건조한 경우, 색도변화가 뚜렷하지 않았으나, $100^{\circ}C$로 열풍 건조한 밤가루의 색도변화는 7시간 건조하는 동안에 L(lightness) 값이 크게 감소하였고, a(redness) 값이 크게 증가하여 yellow색 계통으로 변색되었고, 순도는 2배 이상의 강도를 보여주었다. 이와같은 갈변화 현상은, 건조처리중 lysine함량이 크게 감소하는 것으로 미루어 amino-carbonyl reaction에 의한 것으로 추측할 수 있었으며, 밤가루의 변색을 억제하기 위하여 0.1% potassium metabisulfate용액으로 처리한 밤가루의 색도는 본래의 밤가루색깔과 비교하여 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다. 한편, 끓는 0.1% sodium bisulfate, 0.2% 명반, 0.05% vitamin C 및 0.1% citric acid 용액중에 blanching시켜 건조한 밤가루와 대조구와의 색도 결과, ${\bigtriangleup}E(color difference)$값은 각각 1.05, 1.24, 3.47 및 3.34로 뚜렷한 변색 억제 효과를 관찰할 수 있었다.

Bacterial wilt is a re-emerging disease on dry bean and can affect many other crop species within the Fabaceae. The causal agent, Curtobacterium flaccumfaciens pv. flaccumfaciens (CFF), is a small, Gram-positive, rod-shaped bacterium that is seed-transmitted. Infections in the host become systemic, leading to wilting and economic loss. Clean seed programs and bactericidal seed treatments are two critical management tools. This study characterizes the efficacies of five bactericidal chemicals against CFF. It was hypothesized that this bacterium was capable of forming biofilms, and that the cells within biofilms would be more tolerant to bactericidal treatments. The minimum biocide eradication concentration assay protocol was used to grow CFF biofilms, expose the biofilms to bactericides, and enumerate survivors compared to a non-treated control (water). Streptomycin and oxysilver bisulfate had EC95 values at the lowest concentrations and are likely the best candidates for seed treatment products for controlling seed-borne bacterial wilt of bean. The results showed that CFF formed biofilms during at least two phases of the bacterial wilt disease cycle, and the biofilms were much more difficult to eradicate than their planktonic counterparts. Overall, biofilm formation by CFF is an important part of the bacterial wilt disease cycle in dry edible bean and antibiofilm bactericides such as streptomycin and oxysilver bisulfate may be best suited for use in disease management.

석탄 화력발전소에는 연소가스의 질소산화물(NOx) 저감을 위한 SCR(selective catalytic reduction)설비가 운전되고 있으며, SCR은 환원제인 암모니아($NH_3$)를 이용하여 연소가스 내에 질소산화물을 물과 질소로 분해하는 역할을 한다. 그러나, 연소가스 중의 일부 삼산화황($SO_3$)과 미반응 암모니아가 결합하여 황산암모늄염(Ammonium bisulfate; $NH_4HSO_4$)을 생성하며, 이는 후단 APH(air preheater)의 열소자에 점착된 후 분진들과 함께 성장하여 막힘을 야기한다. 막힘이 발생된 APH는 연소가스의 흐름을 방해하기 때문에 차압을 증가시키며, 이는 발전효율의 감소뿐만 아니라 급전정지를 초래한다. 이를 해결하기 위하여 $CO_2$ 드라이아이스 세정 방법을 적용하였으며, pilot-scale plant에서 실험을 수행하였다. 또한, 드라이아이스 공정변수인 분사압력과 분사시간을 제어하여 pilot-scale plant의 APH 열소자 표면에 생성되어있는 오염물질들의 제거효율을 관찰한 결과 95 %의 높은 제거효율을 보였다.

Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) has been reported to be associated with DNA methylation, an epigenetic feature frequently found in gastric cancer. We conducted a case-control study to explore the association of MTHFR C677T polymorphisms with gastric cancer risk and its relation with the DNA methylation of COX-2, MGMT, and hMLH1 genes. Genotyping of P16, MGMT and HMLH1 was determined by methylation-specific PCR after sodium bisulfate modification of DNA, and genotyping of MTHFR C677T was conducted by TaqMan assays using the ABI Prism 7911HT Sequence Detection System. Folate intake was calculated with the aid of a questionnaire. Compared with the MTHFR 677CC genotype, the TT genotype was significantly associated with 2.08 fold risk of gastric cancer when adjusting for potential risk factors. Individuals who had an intake of folate above $310{\mu}g$/day showed protective effects against gastric cancer risk. The effect of MTHFR C677T polymorphisms on the risk of gastric cancer was modified by folate intake and methylation status of MGMT (P for interaction <0.05).

Aminolysis of various carboxyl-containing ester substrates by triamines was kinetically studied in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) in the presence of p-toluenesulfonic acid (TSA) or in the presence of sulfuric acid and potassium iodide (KI). In the presence of TSA or KI, the pseudo-first-order rate constants ($k_o$) were proportional to the total amine concentration ($N_o$). This stands in marked contrast with the corresponding reactions carried out with sulfuric acid added as the sole additive, in which saturation kinetic behavior of ko with respect to No was manifested. This indicates that complex formation between the ester substrate and the amine is greatly suppressed by the addition of TSA or KI. The second-order rate constants obtained in the presence of TSA or KI were substantially greater than those measured in the absence of any additive. These kinetic features were explained in terms of tight interaction between the protonated amines with I- or TSA-. Thus, the results were related to the hydrogen bonding that involves DMSO, bisulfate ion, I-, TSA-, and the protonated forms of triamines.
