Batch reactors were employed to investigate the kinetics of cellulose hydrolysis under extremely low acid (ELA) and high temperature condition. The sawdust was pretreated by Auto-hydrolysis prior to the batch reaction. The maximum yield of glucose obtained from the batch reactor experiment was about 70% for the pretreated sawdust, this occurred at 210 and 22$0^{\circ}C$. The maximum glucose yield from the untreated sawdust was much lower at these temperatures, about 55%. The maximum yields of glucose from the lignocellulosics were obtained between 15th and 20th minutes after which gradual decrease was observed.

A straightforward and effective method is presented for immobilizing enzymes on a microchip platform without chemically modifying a micro-channel or technically microfabricating a column reactor and fluid channel network. The proposed method consists of three steps: the reconstitution of a nitrocellulose (NC) membrane on a plane substrate without a channel network, enzyme immobilization on the NC membrane, and the assembly of another substrate with a fabricated channel network. As a result, enzymes can be stably and efficiently immobilized on a microchip. To evaluate the proposed method, two kinds of enzymatic reaction are applied: a sequential two-step reaction by one enzyme, alkaline phosphatase, and a coupled reaction by two enzymes, glucose oxidase and peroxidase, for a glucose assay.

The kinetics of the reaction between O(3P) and C2H4 was investigated by measuring time-dependent concentrations of OH resulting from the reaction by using the LIF detection. Oxygen atoms were generated by titrating microwave discharged N2/He with NO to the chemiluminescent end point. The operating pressures in the flow reactor ranged from 5 to 15 torr and the mixtures consisted of He/O(3/P)/C2H4 in the approximate ratios from 100/1/0.1 to 100/1/1. The controlled residence time prior to the detection were estimated to be 0.8-17 ms at the reactor pressure of 7 torr. Experimentally determined profiles both in shape and magnitude were compared with the computed OH density for a specified set of experimental parameters, allowing us to arrive at a complete mechanism for the reaction of O(3P) with ethylene.

본 연구에서는 $CO_2$를 이용한 알칼리폐수의 중화처리 시 jet loop reactor의 적용가능성을 검토하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 연속식 jet loop reactor에서 pH=10.1인 알칼리 폐수의 유입유량($Q_{L,in}=0.9{\sim}6.6L/min$)과 유입가스유량($Q_{G,in}=1{\sim}6L/min$)을 변화시키면서 유출수의 pH 변화 및 $CO_2$ 제거특성을 살펴보았다. 중화반응 후 유출수의 pH는 $Q_{L,in}/Q_{G,in}$ 비가 1.1일 때는 $Q_{G,in}$ 및 $Q_{L,in}$이 증가하여도 pH가 7.2 정도로 일정하게 유지되었다. 그러나 $Q_{L,in}/Q_{G,in}$ 비가 1.1 이상에서는 $Q_{L,in}/Q_{G,in}$ 비가 증가할수록 $CO_2$ 제거효율 및 배출수의 pH가 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 본 연구범위에서 얻어진 최대 $CO_2$ 제거효율은 98.06%로 $Q_{G,in}=2L/min$, $Q_{L,in}=4L/min$인 조건이었으며, 이때의 유출수 pH는 8.43 이었다.

A universal plasma-chemical module (PChM) for the industrial processing of different hydrocarbon raw material pyrolysis was designed and tested. Laboratory investigations for the plasma-chemical method of acetylene production from natural gas and different coals were made. Similar laboratory tests on the industrial production of acetylene as a raw material for organic syn-thesis were developed using the PChM. A comparison of the suggested plasma-chemical method with the traditional process of acetylene production were carried out. The outlook of the plasma-chemical method was shown.

A mathematical model for a three phase fluidized bed bioreactor (TFBBR) was proposed to describe oxygen utilization rate, biomass concentration and the removal efficiency of Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) in wastewater treatment. The model consisted of the biofilm model to describe the oxygen uptake rate and the hydraulic model to describe flow characteristics to cause the oxygen distribution in the reactor. The biofilm model represented the oxygen uptake rate by individual bioparticle and the hydrodynamics of fluids presented an axial dispersion flow with back mixing in the liquid phase and a plug flow in the gas phase. The difference of setting velocity along the column height due to the distributions of size and number of bioparticle was considered. The proposed model was able to predict the biomass concentration and the dissolved oxygen concentration along the column height. The removal efficiency of COD was calculated based on the oxygen consumption amounts that were obtained from the dissolved oxygen concentration. The predicted oxygen concentration by the proposed model agreed reasonably well with experimental measurement in a TFBBR. The effects of various operating parameters on the oxygen concentration were simulated based on the proposed model. The media size and media density affected the performance of a TFBBR. The dissolved oxygen concentration was significantly affected by the superficial liquid velocity but the removal efficiency of COD was significantly affected by the superficial gas velocity.

리르노셀룰로오스로부터 생산된 글루코오스와 자일로 오스의 혼합당을 동시에 발효하여 에탄올 생산을 증가시키며, 또한 에탄올 생산에서의 세포고정화의 영향과 ICR (immobilized cell reactor)을 이용한 혼합당에서의 에탄올 연속생산을 수행하였다. 고정화 P. stipitis를 이용한 플라스크에서 에탄올을 생산에 대한 혼합당과 질소원의 영향으로부터 5% 혼합당 (글루코오스/자일로오스 = 3:1)과 1% 질소원이 최적으로 타나났으며, 이때 생산된 에탄올 농도는 약 19-20 g/L이었다. 고정화된 P. stipitis을 이용하여 반복적 유가식배양 (repeated fed-batch)으로 에탄올을 생산하였을 때는 모든 당 농도에서 글루코오스는 빠르게 소비되었지만, 혼합당의 농도가 높아질수록 자일로오스의 소비속도는 점차적으로 감소하였다. 즉 혼합당 농도가 증가하면서 더불어 당 소비속도는 감소하였다. 또한 ICR에서 1% 혼합당을 연속적으로 공급하면서 에탄올을 안정적으로 생산하여, 에탄올 농도는 5.6 g/L이었고 에탄올 생산 속도는 0.13 g/$L{\cdot}h$이었다.

The objective of this work is to study the feasibility of the preparation of the activated carbon (AC) from coconut tree flowers using high temperature fluidized bed reactor (HTFBR). The activating agent used in this work is steam. The reactor was operated at various activation temperature (650, 700, 750, 800 and $850^{\circ}C$) and activation time (30, 60, 120 and 240 min) for the production of AC from coconut tree flowers. Effect of activation time and activation temperature on the quality of the AC preparation was observed. Prepared AC was characterized in-terms of iodine number, methylene blue number, methyl violet number, ethylene glycol mono ethyl ether (EGME) surface area and SEM photographs. The best quality of AC from coconut tree flowers (CFC) was obtained at an activation temperature and time of $850^{\circ}C$ and 1 hr restectively. The effectiveness of carbon prepared from coconut tree flowers in adsorbing crystal violet from aqueous solution has been studied as a function of agitation time, carbon dosage, and pH. The adsorption of crystal violet onto AC followed second order kinetic model. Adsorption data were modeled using both Langmuir and Freundlich classical adsorption isotherms. The adsorption capacity $q_m$ was 277.78 mg/g., equilibrium time was found to be 180 min. This adsorbent from coconut tree flowers was found to be effective for the removal of CV dye.
