유연탄을 연소하는 화력발전소의 탈황설비에서 생산된 배연탈황석고를 대상으로 가압반응기를 이용하여 수열반응을 통한 알파형 반수석고의 생성과정을 살펴보았다. 실험 결과 첨가제를 사용하지 않아도 반응온도 $120{\sim}140^{\circ}C$ 범위 하에서는 용해-재석출 기구에 의하여 알파형 반수석고가 생성되었으나 아스펙트 비가 매우 높은 침상형 결정이 생성되었다. 호박산나트륨을 첨가제로 주입한 결과 결정형상은 침상형에서 각주형으로 변화되었으며 혼수 비(water/powder ratio)는 33%까지 감소하였다. 호박산나트륨의 농도는 20 mM이 적정하였으며 반응도중 성형체의 붕괴를 방지하고 성형체의 기공부피에 의한 모세관 효과를 최대화하기 위한 최적의 성형체 성형압력은 $30kgf/cm^2$이었다.

이 연구는 가스 하이드레이트 제조시 첨가제로 아세톤, 디메틸부탄, 폴리비닐알코올, 메탄올, 에틸렌글리콜등의 다양한 화학약품을 이용하여 하이드레이트 생성 특성을 변화시키는 것이다. 아세톤, 디메틸부탄, 폴리비닐 알코올을 첨가하여 하이드레이트를 제조한 경우 가스저장능력은 순수한 물로 하이드레이트를 제조한 경우보다 증가하였다. 이중 폴리비닐알코올은 다른 첨가제보다 더 많은 가스를 저장하므로 가장 유용한 생성 촉진제로 판단된다. 사용된 첨가제중 메탄올과 에틸렌글리콜은 생성 억제제의 특성을 나타내었고 에틸렌글리콜보다 메탄올이 조금 더 낮은 가스 저장능력을 나타내어 유용한 생성 억제제로 판단된다. 그러나 생성 억제제로서의 메탄올과 에틸렌글리콜이 낮은 농도인 경우 가스 저장능력이 순수한 물보다 증가하는 생성 촉진제의 특성을 보여준다.

Background: Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a disease characterized by abnormal proliferation of the prostate, which occurs frequently in middle-aged men. In this study, we report the effect of red ginseng oil (KGC11o) on BPH. Methods: The BPH-induced Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into seven groups: control, BPH, KGC11o 25, 50, 100, 200, and finasteride groups. KGC11o and finasteride were administered for 8 weeks. The BPH biomarkers, DHT, 5AR1, and 5AR2, androgen receptor, prostate-specific antigen (PSA), Bax, Bcl-2, and TGF-β were determined in the serum and prostate tissue. The cell viability after KGC11o treatment was determined using BPH-1 cells, and, androgen receptor, Bax, Bcl-2, and TGF-β were confirmed by western blotting. Results: In the in vivo study, administration of KGC11o reduced prostate weight by 18%, suppressed DHT (up to 22%) and 5AR2 (up to 12%) levels from administration of 100 mg/kg KGC11o (P < 0.05). PSA was significantly downregulated dose-dependently from at the concentration of 50 mg/kg KGC11o (P < 0.05). BPH-1 cell viability significantly reduced through the treatment with KGC11o. In vitro and vivo, AR, Bcl-2 TGF-β levels reduced significantly but Bax was increased (P < 0.05). Conclusion: These results suggest that KGC11o may inhibit the development of BPH by significantly reducing the levels of BPH biomarkers via 5ARI, anti-androgenic effect, and anti-proliferation effect, serving as a potential functional food for treating BPH.

Effects of operating variables on temperature profile and performance of 3 MWth chemical looping combustion system were estimated by mass and energy balance analysis based on configuration and dimension of the system determined by design tool. Air reactor gas velocity, fuel reactor gas velocity, solid circulation rate, and solid input percentage to fluidized bed heat exchanger were considered as representative operating variables. Overall heat output and oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas from the air reactor increased but temperature difference decreased as air reactor gas velocity increased. Overall heat output, required solid circulation rate, and temperature difference increased as fuel reactor gas velocity increased. However, overall heat output and temperature difference decreased as solid circulation rate increased. Temperature difference decreased as solid circulation rate through the fluidized bed heat exchanger increased. Effect of each variables on temperature profile and performance can be determined and these results will be helpful to determine operating range of each variable.

In Korea, the common remedial process for reclamation of agricultural soils nearby abandoned mines involves chemical soil stabilization followed by covering with clean soil. This study investigated the chemical properties of cover soils and the validity of HCl extraction method in assessing the degree of As and heavy metal stabilization in stabilized soils collected from 14 plots where mine reclamation had been completed. The results revealed there were no major differences in contaminants extraction rate between the stabilized soils and contaminated soils, suggesting HCl extraction procedure is a less feasible method to determine the efficiency of the stabilization. Soil quality indicators including OM, SiO₂, P₂O₅, etc. of the land-covering soils were generally lower than those of stabilized soils that used to be the cultivation layer before the stabilization. Nonetheless, the value of those indicators didn't meet the regulatry limits of agricultural soil. Therefore, future strategy for mine reclamation should concentrate not only on contaminant concentration but also on soil quality parameters for agricultural use of the reclaimed soil.

가정에서 일어나는 가장 일반적인 사고 중의 하나는 실내 가연성 가스누출에 의한 폭발 사고이다. 이러한 폭발 사고현장의 분석에 의하면 경우에 따라서 누출가스가 실내를 완전히 연소 하한계의 농도로 채올 수 있는 양보다 매우 작은 가연성 가스 양에 의하여 발생할 수 있다. 따라서 폭발이 일어날 수 있는 최소한의 가스 양은 실내 누출된 가스농도의 불균일한 정도에 의존하게 된다. 일반적으로 메탄과 같은 공기보다 가벼운 가스는 천장에서 축적되는 경향이 있고, 프로판의 경우에는 바닥에 축적되는 경향이 있다 본 논문에서는 매우 작은 양의 가스 누출에서 폭발 위험성 분석을 위한 가우스분포폭발 모델을 제시하였다. 이 모델은 연소한계농도에 기초를 두고, 특정 폭발 압력이 나타날 수 있는 최소한의 가스 누출량을 예측하는데 사용할 수 있다. 가우스모델을 이용하여 분석하면, 가정집에서 누출된 가스의 부피가 실내 부피에 비하여 $0.5\%$ 이하에서도 건물이 붕괴되는 폭발사고가 일어날 수 있다. 본 모델은 가스안전기기 개발을 위한 가스폭발 위험성 분석과 가정집에서 폭발사고 원인조사에 유용하게 활용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

A bioequivalence of $Etodol^{TM}$ tablets (Yuhan corporation) and $Kuhnillodine^{TM}$ tablets (Kuhnil Pharm. Co., Ltd.) was evaluated according to the guideline of Korea Food and Drug Administration (KFDA). Single 200 mg dose of etodolac of each medicine was administered orally to 24 healthy male volunteers. This study was performed in a $2{\times}2$ crossover design. Concentrations of etodolac in human plasma were monitored by a high-performance liquid chromatography. $AUC_t$ (the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to 24 hr) was calculated by the linear trapezoidal rule method. $C_{max}$ (maximum plasma drug concentration) and $T_{max}$ (time to reach $C_{max}$) were compiled from the plasma concentration-time data. Analysis of variance was performed using logarithmically transformed $AUC_t$ and $C_{max}$. No significant sequence effect was found for all of the bioavailability parameters. The 90% confidence intervals of the $AUC_t$ ratio and the $C_{max}$ ratio for $Etodol^{TM}/Kuhnillodine^{TM}$ were 1.01-1.10 and 0.87-1.06, respectively. This study demonstrated a bioequivalence of $Etodol^{TM}$ and $Kuhnillodine^{TM}$ with respect to the rate and extent of absorption.

본 연구에서는 연료로 많이 사용될 뿐 아니라 폭발사고도 많이 발생하는 액화석유가스(LPG)가 밀폐공간 내에 누출되어 가스폭발사고가 발생할 경우 폭발에 의한 피해발생 현상들의 예측과 위험성을 평가하고자 폭발시 개구부가 발생되는 가스폭발에 대한 폭발특성측정 실험을 실시하였다 . 실험장치의 크기는 가로, 세로, 높이가 각각 60 cm, 100 cm, 45 cm인 폭발통을 사용하였으며 건물 내 가스폭발시 유리창 등이 파열되어 개구부가 발생되는 현상과 유사하도록 폭발통의 한쪽 측면에는 격막을 설치하여 폭발시 파열되도록 하였다. 실험 변수로는 LPG의 농도, 점화위치, 폭발시 발생하는 파구의 면적, 파열면으로부터 거리, 및 파열면의 강도등이며 연구결과, 폭발시 개구부가 생성되는 경우는 밀폐공간과는 달리 농도의 변화보다 파열면의 강도에 의해 폭발특성이 영향을 받으며 점화위치에 의한 폭발특성의 변화도 밀폐공간의 경우에 비해 크게 나타났다. 또한 파열면 개구부가 작을수록, 파열면의 강도가 클수록 파열압력(내부폭발압력)과 외부에 미치는 폭풍압력이 증가하였으며 파열면에서 멀어질수록 폭풍압력이 감소하는 현상들을 알 수 있었다.

Catalytic activities of $V_2O_5/TiO_2$ catalyst were investigated under reaction conditions such as reaction temperature, catalyst size, inlet concentration and space velocity. A 1,2-dichlorobenzene(1,2-DCB) concentrations were measured in front and after of the heated $V_2O_5/TiO_2$ catalyst bed, and conversion efficiency of 1,2-DCB was determined from it's concentration difference. The conversion of 1,2-DCB using a pellet type catalyst in the bench-scale reactor was lower than that with the powder type used in the micro flow-scale reactor. However, when the pellet size was halved, the conversion was similar to that with the powder type catalyst. The highest conversion was shown with an inlet concentration of 100 ppmv, but when the concentration was higher or lower than 100 ppmv, the conversion was found to decrease. Complete conversion was obtained when the GHSV was maintained at below 10,000 $h^{-1}$, even at the relatively low temperature of $250^{\circ}C$. Water vapor inhibited the conversion of 1,2-DCB, which was suspected to be due to the competitive adsorption between the reactant and water for active sites.

Heavy metal pollution in agricultural field near at the abandoned metal mines has been a critical issue in Korea. In particular, bioaccumulation in plants can have detrimental effect on human health. Main objective of this research was to examine arsenic (As) concentration in soil with varied extraction methods and to determine bioaccumulation and biological transfer factor in different crops. Results showed that bioaccumulation ratio of As for total contents in soil was ordered leafy and stem vegetables (1.19%) > fruit bearing vegetables (0.79%) > pulses (0.40%) > root vegetables (0.36%) with different crop species. Among 6 different extraction methods, all of extraction methods showed high correlation ($R^2=0.87-0.97$) except DTPA ($R^2=0.25$) when comparing As concentration in soil extracted with different extractants and As concentration in each crops. Calculated biological transfer factor was ranged 0.002-0.018 depending on crop species. Overall, concentration of As in crops can be varied and best management practice for minimizing bioaccumulation of As should be considered depending on crop species.
