최근 선진국을 중심으로 고연비-저배출 내연기관 (디젤) 자동차 보급의 필요성이 대두되면서 기존 촉매후처리 장치의 저온성능 강화를 위한 기술적 방안들이 시급히 요구되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 디젤엔진 배출 탄소입자상 물질의 연소반응에 있어 연료함유 촉매(Fuel-Borne Catalyst)와 페로브스카이트(Perovskite)의 복합촉매 시스템이 보이는 상용모델촉매 대비 우수한 저온 연소성능과 이의 Perovskite 촉매 조성에 대한 의존성에 관해 논하였다. Fe/Ce 계열 연료함유 촉매가 A-site 원소(La)에 K이 부분치환되고, B-site 금속이 Fe인 Perovskite 촉매와 복합화될 때 상대적으로 우수한 저온 연소성능 개선효과가 관찰되었다. 이를 관찰하기 위해 연료함유 촉매가 함유되거나 함유하지 않은 탄소 입자상 물질과 다양한 조성의 La 계열 Perovskite 촉매를 혼합한 고정층에 대한 온도상승 산화반응 실험(Temperature-Programmed Oxidation)을 수행하였으며, 이산화탄소 생성과 질소산화물 농도 저하 패턴의 연동특성을 통해 두 촉매의 상호 연계작용을 유추하였다.

Objective: Raw potato starch (RPS) is resistant to digestion, escapes absorption, and is metabolized by intestinal microflora in the large intestine and acts as their energy source. In this study, we compared the effect of different concentrations of RPS on the intestinal bacterial community of weaned piglets. Methods: Male weaned piglets (25-days-old, 7.03±0.49 kg) were either fed a corn/soybean-based control diet (CON, n = 6) or two treatment diets supplemented with 5% RPS (RPS5, n = 4) or 10% RPS (RPS10, n = 4) for 20 days and their fecal samples were collected. The day 0 and 20 samples were analyzed using a 16S rRNA gene sequencing technology, followed by total genomic DNA extraction, library construction, and high-throughput sequencing. After statistical analysis, five phyla and 45 genera accounting for over 0.5% of the reads in any of the three groups were further analyzed. Furthermore, short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) in the day 20 fecal samples were analyzed using gas chromatography. Results: Significant changes were not observed in the bacterial composition at the phylum level even after 20 d post feeding (dpf); however, the abundance of Intestinimonas and Barnesiella decreased in both RPS treatment groups compared to the CON group. Consumption of 5% RPS increased the abundance of Roseburia (p<0.05) and decreased the abundance of Clostridium (p<0.01) and Mediterraneibacter (p< 0.05). In contrast, consumption of 10% RPS increased the abundance of Olsenella (p<0.05) and decreased the abundance of Campylobacter (p<0.05), Kineothrix (p<0.05), Paraprevotella (p<0.05), and Vallitalea (p<0.05). Additionally, acetate (p<0.01), butyrate (p<0.05), valerate (p = 0.01), and total SCFAs (p = 0.01) were upregulated in the RPS5 treatment group Conclusion: Feeding 5% RPS altered bacterial community composition and promoted gut health in weaned piglets. Thus, resistant starch as a feed additive may prevent diarrhea in piglets during weaning.
