해수담수화 시설에서 전처리와 역삼투막(reverse osmosis, RO) 공정의 유기물 제거특성을 살펴보고, 유기물의 특성변화가 막오염 지수에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 연구에서 비교된 전처리 공정은 다중여재여과(dual media filter, DMF), 가압형 정밀여과(MF), 침지형정밀여과(SMF) 이다. 유기물의 특성변화를 알아보기 위해 원수와 공정별 처리수의 탁도, $UVA_{254}$, DOC, size exclusion chromatography (SEC), fluorescence excitation emission matrix (FEEM), transparent exopolymer particles (TEP) 등을 분석하였다. 이온성 물질과 무기물 항목은 전처리 공정의 종류에 관계없이 처리되지 않았고 RO공정을 거치면서 99% 이상 제거되었다. 유기물에 의한 막오염에 큰 영향을 미치는 소수성 유기물은 전처리를 통해 상대적으로 제거가 용이하였다. 전처리 공정의 유기물 제거율은 막여과 공정(MF, SMF)이 기존 DMF 공정에 비해 높았다. 처리수내 유기물의 농도가 감소할수록 막오염지수 중 하나인 silt density index (SDI) 값도 감소하였다. MF로 전처리한 경우 SDI값이 가장 낮게 나타났는데, 처리수 내의 $0.1-0.4{\mu}m$ TEP 농도가 MF와 SMF 막오염지수의 차이와 상관관계를 보였다.

An effect of carbon tetrachloride (CCl$_{4}$) was studied on the xanthine oxidase(XOD)activity of small intestine in male rats. Concomitantly a cause of increasing small intestine XOD was focused on an effect of actinomycin D and the kinetics of partial purified XOD frdm small intestine in CCl$_{4}$ intoxicated rats. An injection of CCl$_{4}$ to the rats showed an increase of small intestine XOD. In the pretreatment of actinomycin D before injection of CCl$_{4}$ to the rats, the XOD activities of small intestine were significantly decreased. In the partial purified enzyme preparation, the small intestine XOD in CCl$_{4}$ intoxicated rats showed the more increased Km and Vmax value with xanthine as substrate than that of control group.

Vertically aligned CNTs were grown on Fe-deposited $SiO_2$ substrates using thermal CVD of acetylene gas. The size of Fe particle is controlled by the flow rate of $NH_3$ and pretreatment time, which leads to control the diameter of CNTs. As the diameter of CNTs decreases, the growth rate is enhanced with an inverse dependence of the CNT diameter. The growth rate of CNTs increases linearly as the growth time increases until 30 min but is rapidly decreased over 40 min. We found an inverse relation between the diameter and growth rate of carbon nanotubes. As the diameter of CNTs increases, the compartment layers of bamboo-shaped CNTs appear more frequently. A base-growth model is suitable to explain the dependence of growth rate and structure of CNTs on the diameter size of catalytic particles.

Carbon dioxide fixation by microalgae has several advantages such as no requirements for the pretreatment over phycal and/or chemical $CO_2$ fixation processes. Chlorella sp. HA-1, fresh algae. and Chlorococcum littorale. marine algae, were used to do $CO_2$ fixation work. The experimental parameters were light intensity and $CO_2$ concentration. Chlorella sp. HA-1 has the maximum growth rate at 8 Klux and 10% $CO_2$ concentration. Chlorococcum littorale showed the maximum growth at similar conditions. The results indicated the feasibility of the Chlorella HA-1 and Chlorococcum littorale for mass cultivation using flue gas.

The use of low cost and ecofriendly adsorbent has been investigated as an alternative to the current expensive method of removing dyes from wastewater. Cow dung cakes were collected from the nearby village which was burnt in a muffle furnace at $500^{\circ}C$ to obtain the required ash. This paper deals with the removal of Reactive Blue 221, Acidoll Yellow 2GNL and Olive BGL which are mainly used in textile industry, from aqueous solution by cow dung ash without any pretreatment. The adsorption was achieved under different pH, adsorbate concentration and the applicability of Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms were examined.

Hydrogen gas is used as a fuel for the proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC). Trace amount of carbon monoxide present in the reformate $H_2$ gas can poison the anode of the PEMFC. Therefore, preferential oxidation (PROX) of CO is essential for reducing the concentration of CO from a hydrogen-rich reformate gas. In this study, conventional Pt/$Al_2O_3$ catalyst was prepared for the preferential oxidation of CO. The effects of catalyst preparation method, additive, and hydrogen on the performances of PROX reaction of CO were investigated. Water treatment and addition of Ce enhanced catalytic activity of the Pt/$Al_2O_3$ catalyst at low temperature below $100^{\circ}C$.

The ability of cow dung ash without any pretreatment to remove color from textile dyes N Blue RGB, Green B and EOSIN YWS from aqueous solution has been investigated in this work. Cow dung ash, an ecofriendly and low cost adsorbent was prepared by burning cow dung cakes in the muffle furnace at $500^{\circ}C$. The adsorption was achieved under different pH and adsorbate concentration. The data was fitted to simple polynomial and the isotherms similar to Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms.

The reduction of carbon dioxide emission is hot issue in the world because we are confronted with serious global warming and climate change. As a part of carbon dioxide reduction efforts, various approaches for increasing filler loading have been carried out in order to decrease the energy consumption in papermaking processes. Effects of the pretreatment of GCC with cationic starch and MFC on the flocculation behaviour of GCC were investigated in this study. Pretreatment of GCC with cationic starch caused the change of electric charge of suspension and flocculation behaviour of GCC. Largest flocculation size was obtained near the isoelectric point in the case of cationic starch treatment. When MFC (30 times grinded) was added after preflocculation of GCC with cationic starch, the flocculation size was increased, but largest flocculation size was obtained at -150 mV of electric charge of suspension in this study. However the addition of highly grinded MFC (60 times grinded) caused smaller flocculation size of GCC than those of MFC (30 times grinded). When GCC and MFC were mixed first, and then cationic starch was added, the characteristics of MFC and the change of electric charge which could be brought by cationic starch did not affect the flocculation size of GCC at all. The flocculation size obtained by the combination of cationic starch and MFC was smaller than those of cationic starch. These results show that flocculation behaviour could be controlled by the change of electric charge of suspension and the combination methods of cationic starch and MFC.

This study was to investigate the preventive effects in anti-oxidation of Ulva lactuca extract fractions (ULEF) against $CCl_4$ toxification in liver total homogenate and mitochondrial fraction of ULEF-pretreated and carbon tetrachloride $(CCl_4)-posttreated$ rats. ULEF was intraperitoneally administered into rats at dose of 1 ml/kg for14 days. On the day 15, 3.3 ml/kg of $CCl_4$ dissolved in olive oil (1:1) was injected 12 hr before anesthetization. Activities of superoxide dismutase(SOD) in mitochondrial fraction were measured and catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), malondialdehyde (MDA) in liver total homogenate. SOD, CAI and GPx were higher in the ULEF-pretreated and $CCl_4-posttreated$ group than those in the $CCl_4-posttreated$ group, and the pretreatment of ULEF decreased MDA. These results showed that the pretreatment of ULEF had the preventive role in the activities of anti-oxidative enzymes, SOD, CAT and GPx

Clostridium butyricum, Lactobacillus amylophillus, Lactobacillus amylovorus, Lactobacillus acidophillus, AI-9 produced hydrogen and /or organic acids using glucose, lactose and starch at the anaerobic culture conditions. Cl. butyricum NCIB 9576 evolved 1,700 ml H2/L-culture broth and accumulated butyric acid, acetic acid, propionic acid and ethanol in its culture broth when lactose was used as a carbon source during 24 hrs of fermentation. L. amylovorus ATCC 33620 accumulated lactic and acetic acids and some reducing sugars when starch was used as a carbon source without hydrogen production. Instead of starch as a carbon source, L. amylovorus ATCC 33620 produced lactic acid from algal biomass during fermentation and the acid-heat or freeze-thaw pretreatment of algal biomass accelerate the lactic acid fermentation.
