Objectives Tricalcium phosphate and calcium hydrogenorthophosphate are high production volume chemicals, mainly used as foodstuff additives, pharmaceuticals, lubricants, synthetic resin, and disinfectants. Phosphate has the potential to cause increased algal growth leading to eutrophication in the aquatic environment. However, there is no adequate information available on risk assessment or acute and chronic toxicity. The aim of this research is to evaluate the toxic potential of phosphate compounds in the aquatic environment. Methods An aquatic toxicity test of phosphate was conducted, and its physico-chemical properties were obtained from a database recommended in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) guidance manual. An ecotoxicity test using fish, Daphnia, and algae was conducted by the good laboratory practice facility according to the OECD TG guidelines for testing of chemicals, to secure reliable data. Results The results of the ecotoxicity tests of tricalcium phosphate and calcium hydrogenorthophosphate are as follows: In an acute toxicity test with Oryzias latipes, 96 hr 50% lethal concentration ($LC_{50}$) was >100 (measured:>2.14) mg/L and >100 (measured: >13.5) mg/L, respectively. In the Daphnia test, 48 hr 50% effective concentration ($EC_{50}$) was >100 (measured: >5.35) mg/L and >100 (measured: >2.9) mg/L, respectively. In a growth inhibition test with Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata, 72 hr $EC_{50}$ was >100 (measured: >1.56) mg/L and >100 (measured: >4.4) mg/L, respectively. Conclusions Based on the results of the ecotoxicity test of phosphate using fish, Daphnia, and algae, $L(E)C_{50}$ was above 100 mg/L (nominal), indicating no toxicity. In general, the total phosphorus concentration including phosphate in rivers and lakes reaches levels of several ppm, suggesting that phosphate has no toxic effects. However, excessive inflow of phosphate into aquatic ecosystems has the potential to cause eutrophication due to algal growth.

Recent studies have shown that alum addition to litter results in many environmental and economic advantages, such as reductions in metal runoff, lower ammonia emission and improved poultry performance. However, no research has been conducted to evaluate the effects of different types of alum on soluble metals in poultry litter. The objective of this study was conducted to investigate changes in soluble metal from poultry litter with different types of aluminum sulfate (alum) under laboratory condition. The treatments used in this study, which were mixed in the upper 1 cm of litter or sprayed onto the litter surface, were 4 g alum, 8 g alum, 8.66 g liquid alum, 17.3 g liquid alum, 11.2 g A7 (high acid alum), and 22.4 g A7 (high acid alum)/100 g litter. Applying different types of alum to poultry litter reduced (P<0.05) concentrations of soluble Fe (9 to 54%), Cu (9 to 49%) and Zn (11 to 40%), relative to untreated litter, whereas it increased Ca and Mg (P<0.05). Mean soluble Fe and Cu levels in poultry litter from different types of alum decreased in the order: 22.4 g A7 (54% and 49%) > 17.3 g liquid alum (48% and 42%) > 8 g alum (48% and 31%) > 4 g alum (28% and 10%) > 8.6 g liquid alum (10% and 9%) > 11.2 g A7 (8.6% and 9%). Additionally, the high reduction in soluble Zn concentration was 4 g alum (40%), followed by 8 g alum (26%), 22.4 g A7 (25%), 17.3 g liquid alum (23%), 8.66 g liquid alum (18%), and 11.2 g A7 (11%), respectively. In conclusion, the current studies suggest that treating poultry litter with different types of alum can be applied to reduce soluble metal (Fe, Cu, and Zn) and to develop a production to merchandise for poultry litter that would result in reduction in pollutants from these materials. Furthermore, in order to improve environmental management in the poultry industry, the use of alum, liquid alum and high acid alum all should be provided a valid means of reducing negative environmental impact.

As a conclusions, the following results were obtained. (1)Aqueous titania sol The average particle size of titania in formed aqueous titania sol was distributed between 20$\sim$90nm range depending on reaction conditions. And the crystal phase of titania powders obtained by frozen drying method was changed from amorphous state to anatase and subsequently transformed to rutile crystal phase and it is attributed to concentration gradient in aqueous sol. (2)Non-aqueous titania sol Non-aqueous titania sol was prepared using methanol as a solvent and a little distilled water for hydrolysis and nitric acid as a catalyst were used. The obtained non-aqueous titania sol was stable at room temperature for 20 days. Additionally, non-aqueous titania sol with addition of chealating reagent such as acethylaceton and ethylene glycol prolonged the stability of sol by six months. (3)Complex sol and hybrid sol with super hydrophilicity The above mentioned aqueous titania sol as a main photocataylic component and non-aqueous titania sol as a binder for coating process was used to prepare a complex sol used for metal, ceramic and wood material substrate and also to prepare the organic-inorganic hybrid sol for polymer substrate such as polycarbonate and polyethylene, in which process APMS(3-Aminopropyltrimethoxysilane), GPTS(3-Glycidoxypropyl-trimethoxysilane) as a hydrophilic silane compound and HEMA(2-Hydroxyethyl methacrylate) as a forming network in hybrid coating film were used. The hybrid coating film such as prepared through this process showed a superhydrophilicity below 1$10^{\circ}$ depending on processing conditions and a pencil's hardness over 6 H.

Objectives: We sought to establish a novel method to generate nano-sized carbon black particles (nano-CBPs) with an average size smaller than 100 nm for examining the inhalation exposure risks of experimental rats. We also tested the effect of nano-CBPs on the pulmonary and circulatory systems. Methods: We used chemical vapor deposition (CVD) without the addition of any additives to generate nano-CBPs with a particle size (electrical mobility diameter) of less than 100nm to examine the effects of inhalation exposure. Nano-CBPs were applied to a nose-only inhalation chamber system for studying the inhalation toxicity in rats. The effect on the lungs and circulatory system was determined according to the degree of inflammation as quantified by bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF). The functional alteration of the hemostatic and vasomotor activities was measured by plasma coagulation, platelet activity, contraction and relaxation of blood vessels. Results: Nano-CBPs were generated in the range of 83.3-87.9 nm. Rats were exposed for 4 hour/day, 5 days/week for 4 weeks to $4.2{\times}10^6$, $6.2{\times}10^5$, and $1.3{\times}10^5$ particles/$cm^3$. Exposure of nano-CBPs by inhalation resulted in minimal pulmonary inflammation and did not appear to damage the lung tissue. In addition, there was no significant effect on blood functions, such as plasma coagulation and platelet aggregation, or on vasomotor function. Conclusion: We successfully generated nano-CBPs in the range of 83.3-87.9 nm at a maximum concentration of $4.2{\times}10^6$ particles/$cm^3$ in a nose-only inhalation chamber system. This reliable method can be useful to investigate the biological and toxicological effects of inhalation exposure to nano-CBPs on experimental rats.

CdS 및 CdZnS 황화물계 광촉매를 단순 침전법으로 제조하고, 가시광선 조사하에서의 로다민 B 분해반응에 대한 광촉매로서의 활성을 조사하였다. 이때 KCl, NaCl, $K_3PO_4$, $Na_3PO_4$ 등의 4가지 무기염 첨가가 반응에 미치는 영향을 조사하였으며, 특히 광촉매 반응 과정에서의 $K^+$, $Na^+$, $Cl^-$ 그리고 $PO_4{^{3-}}$ 이온의 역할에 중점을 두고 연구를 진행하였다. 첨가되는 무기염들은 전체 광촉매 반응에 큰 영향을 미칠 수 있다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 특히 무기염 중의 양이온에 비해 음이온이 반응속도에 상대적으로 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 반응조건하에서 $PO_4{^{3-}}$ 음이온은 광촉매 반응속도를 크게 감소시키지만 $Cl^-$ 이온은 오히려 반응속도를 증가시켰다. 따라서 광촉매 반응을 이용한 폐수처리에 있어서는 다른 첨가물질의 영향을 고려하는 것도 필요한 것으로 판단된다.

지난 수십 년 동안, 외부 자극에 대한 응답성이 우수하면서도 인체에 적용할 수 있는 소프트 액추에이터 개발을 위한 많은 노력이 이어졌다. 본 연구에서는 동역학적 정밀 제어가 가능한 의료용 소프트 액추에이터를 개발하기 위해, 유해한 화학적 첨가제나 개시제 없이 방사선을 이용하여 전기 자극 반응성과 물리적 특성이 우수한 3차원 가교 구조의 poly(acrylic acid) (PAAc)/poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) 하이드로겔을 합성하였다. 방사선 조사 후, 모든 하이드로겔은 75% 이상의 겔 분율을 나타내었고, 표면 반사 적외선 분광법을 통해 PAAc/PVA/PEG 하이드로겔이 성공적으로 합성되었음을 확인하였다. 또한 PAAc/PVA/PEG 하이드로겔의 겔 분율, 평형 수분 함량, 압축 강도를 측정하여 감마선의 총 조사 선량과 구성 성분의 함량비 조절에 따른 하이드로겔의 물리적 특성 변화를 확인하였다. 조사된 감마선의 선량이 증가하거나 poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA)의 함량이 많을수록 PAAc/PVA/PEG 하이드로겔은 높은 가교 밀도와 우수한 기계적 강도를 나타내었다. 또한 PAAc/PVA/PEG 하이드로겔은 3 V의 저전압에서도 전기적인 자극에 반응하였고, 전기장 하에서 이동성 이온의 움직임에 따른 하이드로겔의 밴딩 거동은 하이드로겔의 가교 밀도, 이온기의 함량, 인가 전압 및 전해질 용액의 이온 농도 등을 조절함으로써 제어할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

딸기 과실과 설탕 이외에 젤리화 형성에 영향을 주는 산, 펙틴 등을 따로 첨가하지 않고 딸기와 설탕의 배합비를 달리한 잼의 품질특성을 조사하였다. 딸기를 70~30% 수준으로 감소한 처리구의 당도는 $59.00{\sim}77.33^{\circ}Brix$, pH는 4.17~4.28으로 증가한 반면, 총산도는 1.55~0.31%로 감소하였다. 딸기 함량이 줄어드는 S1~S5 처리구의 L값은 5.36~30.83, a값은 27.83~37.19, 그리고 b값은 9.08~40.52로 모두 증가하였다. 딸기 함량이 줄어들수록 딸기잼의 안토시아닌 함량과 펙틴 함량은 각각 9.91~5.15 mg/g, 4.86~1.46 mg/g으로 감소하였다. 딸기 첨가량에 따른 딸기잼의 물성 측정 결과에서도 hardenss, gumminess 및 chewiness은 딸기 함량이 줄어들수록 감소하였다. 딸기 첨가 수준이 낮아지는 S1~S5 처리구의 glucose, fructose 함량이 감소된 반면 sucrose 함량은 증가하였다. 유기산 구성은 oxalic aicd, citric acid, malic acid, succinic acid 및 formic acid으로 조성되었고, 이들 함량 변화는 딸기 첨가 수준이 낮아질수록 감소하였다. 따라서 본 연구를 통하여 산과 펙틴 등의 첨가물 없이 딸기와 설탕으로만 잼 제조가 가능하지만 색, 맛 등의 품질에 차이가 있음을 확인하였다. 통상적인 과실잼은 과실과 설탕을 동량인 50%(w/w) 수준으로 제조하고 있으나 과실을 60~70%(w/w) 수준으로 높인 고품질 딸기잼은 당도, 유리당, 유기산 및 안토시아닌 함량 등의 품질이 좋았다. 하지만 당도 $65^{\circ}Brix$ 이하인 점을 고려하여 저장안정성 연구, 안토시아닌 색소 안정성에 대한 연구가 추가적으로 추진되어야 할 필요가 있다.

Two experiments were conducted to determine i) the fermentation characteristics of catfish by-product (C) ensiled with rice bran (RB) or sugarcane molasses (M) in different ratios, and ii) the digestibility of the silages in growing pigs. In the ensiling experiment, there were three ratios of C, ensiled with RB or M, of 8:2, 7:3 and 6:4 (wet basis for C and air-dry basis for RB and M). The six treatments were CRB8:2, CRB7:3, CRB6:4, CM8:2, CM7:3 and CM6:4, with 3 replications per treatment and seven sampling times. The pH of CRB7:3 and CRB6:4 decreased (p<0.05) from the first week and stayed stable until 8 weeks of ensiling, but the pH did not decrease in CRB8:2. The pH of CM8:2, CM7:3 and CM6:4 decreased rapidly from the first week until week 8. Dry matter (DM) and crude protein (CP) contents were slightly lower when catfish by-product was ensiled with RB than with M. Ammonia content in all treatments increased (p<0.05) during ensiling. Lactic acid content in silages with molasses increased from the first week, with the highest value at week 4. However, the lactic acid content in CRB8:2 did not increase with time and had the lowest value of all treatments. Acetic acid proportions of total volatile fatty acids were low at day 0, with the highest value at day 7, decreasing slowly until 8 weeks. The butyric acid proportion was highest at day 0 and decreased up to week 8. The proportion of propionic acid increased during ensiling. The digestibility experiment had a 4${\times}$4 Latin-square design and included 4 castrated crossbreed (Yorkshire${\times}$Landrace) male pigs fed four diets. The basal diet (BD) included rice bran, broken rice and maize meal, and the other three diets included fish meal (FMD) or catfish by-product ensiled with rice bran (CRBD) or sugarcane molasses (CMD). The silages chosen were those which gave the best results in the ensiling experiment for each additive. The coefficient of total tract apparent digestibility (CTTAD) of DM and organic matter (OM) was not significantly different among treatments. The CTTAD of CP was not different among the silage diets, but was lower in BD (p<0.01). The CTTAD of ether extract (EE) was higher in the catfish by-product silage diets than in FMD and BD. There was no significant difference in the digestibility of DM, OM, CP and EE between the fish meal and the by-product silages. In conclusion, catfish by-product can be successfully preserved by ensiling. Moreover, the total tract apparent digestibility of OM, CP and EE in ensiled catfish by-product was comparable with that of fish meal.
