In this study, inorganic flocculant with biodegradable polymer flocculant was usedfor microalgae harvest. The aim of this study was to optimize the concentration of inorganic flocculant, the concentration of biodegradable polymer flocculant and reaction volume for decreasing the amounts of flocculant and obtaining the suitable pH range for seawater by response surface methodology. The flocculation of three marine microalgae, Chlorella ellipsoidea, Dunaliella bardawil, and Dunaliella tertiolecta, using inorganic flocculants and biodegradable polymer flocculants was investigated. The results indicated that the optimal flocculant quantity showed 0.1 g/L of ferric chloride, 7.5 g/L of chitosan on Chlorella ellipsoidea. In the case of Dunaliella bardawil, the optimal flocculant quantity showed amount of ferric sulfate more than 0.12 g/L and chitosan more than 0.75 g/L. In the case of Dunaliella tertiolecta, the optimal flocculant quantity showed 1.0 g/L of sodium aluminate, 0.75 g/L of chitosan.

The aim of the study was to optimize harvesting method for concentrating microalgae from microalgae mass culture. It is well known that the mass density of microalgae is usually very low and these are small size (5-20 ${\mu}m$) in the culture medium. It is essential that microalgae is harvested and concentrated economically for economical biodiesel production from microalgae. In this study, to determine optimized conditions for microalgae harvesting by chemical flocculation. Flocculation of three algae, Chlorella ellipsoidea, Dunaliella bardawil, and Dunaliella tertiolecta, was performed using various chemical flocculants, such as inorganic flocculants (aluminium sulfate, aluminium potassium sulfate, ferrous sulfate, ferric sulfate, ferric chloride, calcium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, sodium nitrite, and sodium aluminate), organic flocculant (polyacrylamide), and biopolymer flocculants (chitosan and starch). The results indicated that aluminium based inorganic flocculants is suitable for microalgae harvesting such as Chlorella ellipsoidea, Dunaliella bardawil, and Dunaliella tertiolecta. The results also recommended that flocculant doses, agitation speed, agitation time, sedimentation time for economical microalgae harvesting method using chemical flocculants.

Clay sedimentation has been widely analyzed for its application in a variety of geotechnical constructions such as mine tailing, artificial islands, dredging, and reclamation. Chemical flocculants such as aluminum sulfate (Al₂(SO₄)₃), ferric chloride (FeCl₃), and ferric sulfate (Fe(SO₄)₃), have been adopted to accelerate the settling behaviors of clays. As an alternative clay flocculant with natural origin, this study investigated the settling of xanthan gum-treated kaolinite suspension in deionized water. The sedimentation of kaolinite in solutions of xanthan gum biopolymer (0%, 0.1%, 0.5%, 1.0%, and 2.0% in a clay mass) was measured until the sediment height was stabilized. Kaolinite was aggregated by xanthan gum via a direct electrical interaction between the negatively charged xanthan gum molecules and positively charged edge surface and via hydrogen bonding with kaolinite particles. The results revealed that the xanthan gum initially bound kaolinite aggregates, thereby forming larger floc sizes. Owing to their greater floc size, the aggregated kaolinite flocs induced by xanthan gum settled faster than the untreated kaolinite. Additionally, X-ray computed tomography images collected at various depths from the bottom demonstrated that the xanthan gum-induced aggregation resulted in denser sediment deposition. The findings of this study could inspire further efforts to accelerate the settling of kaolinite clays by adding xanthan gum.

Inorganic acids such as HCl, HNO₃, and H₂SO₄ have been commonly applied to soil washing of heavy metals-contaminated soil due to their cost-effectiveness. However, implementing the 'Chemical Substance Control Act' requires off-site risk assessment of the chemicals used in the soil washing. Therefore, in this study, organic acids or Fe(III)-based washing agents were evaluated to replace commonly used inorganic acids. Ferric removed heavy metals via H⁺ generated by hydrolysis, which is similar to the HCl used in the control group. Oxalic acid and citric acid were effective to remove Cu, Zn, and Cd from soil. Organic acids could not remove Pb because they could form Pb-organic acid complexes with low solubility. Furthermore, Pb could be adsorbed onto the iron-organic acid complex on the soil surface. Ferric could remove exchangeable-carbonate, Fe-Mn hydroxide, and organic matter and sulfides bound heavy metals (F1, F2, and F3). Organic acids could remove the exchangeable-carbonate and Fe-Mn hydroxide bound metals (F1&F2). Therefore, this research shows that the fractionation of heavy metals in the soil and the properties of washing agents should be considered in the selection of agents in the process design.

이온강도가 센 염산용액에서 Alamine336과 TBP에 의한 염화 제 2철의 용매추출거동을 MaCabe-Thiele도를 이용하여 비교하였다. 초기 추출조건으로부터 수상과 유기상에서 철의 평형농도를 계산하여 두 추출제에 의한 철 추출의 등온추출곡선을 구했다. 평형농도 계산시 수상에서 착물형성반응과 물질수지 및 추출반응을 고려하였다. 1M의 Aalmine336으로 0.5M의 철을 3M의 염산용액에서 수상과 유기상의 부피비가 6/5인 조건에서 추출시 2단에 철의 대부분이 유기상으로 추출되는 것을 MaCabe-Thiele도에서 알 수 있었다. 1M의 Alamine336은 염산용액에서 철의 추출능력면에서 TBP 2-3M과 비슷하였다. MaCabe-Thiele도와 두 추출제의 물리적 특성으로부터 Alamine336이 TBP보다 염산용액에서 철의 추출특성이 우수한 것을 알 수 있었다.

In this study, we investigated coagulants such as polyaluminum chloride (PACl) and ferric chloride ($FeCl_3$) and the combination of a coagulant and powdered activated carbon (PAC) for the removal of dissolved organic matter (DOM) from fish processing effluent to reduce membrane fouling in microfiltration. The efficiency of each pretreatment was investigated through analyses of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and ultraviolet absorbance at 254 nm ($UVA_{254}$). Membrane flux and silt density index (SDI) analyses were performed to evaluate membrane fouling; molecular weight distributions (MWD) and fluorescence excitation-emission matrix (FEEM) spectroscopy were analyzed to assess DOM characteristics. The results demonstrated that $FeCl_3$ exhibited higher DOC and $UVA_{254}$ removals than PACl for food processing effluent and a combination of $FeCl_3$ and PAC provided comparatively better results than simple $FeCl_3$ coagulation for the removal of DOM from fish processing effluent. This study suggests that membrane fouling could be minimized by proper pretreatment of food processing effluent using a combination of coagulation ($FeCl_3$) and adsorption (PAC). Analyses of MWD and FEEM revealed that the combination of $FeCl_3$ and PAC was more efficient at removing hydrophobic and small-sized DOM.

Grignard 시약,CH_3$MgI와 브로모벤질과의 반응은 전자전달과정(SET)과 라디칼 이온쌍 중간체를 거쳐 생성되는 동종짝지음 생성물 bibenzyl을 주생성물로 이온성 공격에 의해 생성되는 교차짝지음 생성물, 에틸벤젠을 부생성물로 생성시키며 전이금속 불순물이 거의 제거된 순수 금속 Mg으로 CH_3$MgI을 제조하였을 때 그 비는 78:22이었다. 그러나 실험실용 금속 Mg을 사용하였을 때 그 비는 감소하여 67:33이었으며 이 비는 촉매량으로 첨가시킨 $FeCl_3$ 양의 증가로 더욱 감소되어 최고 20:80 비로 Fe 이온은 이온성 교차생성물, 에틸벤젠을 주생성물로 유도하였으며 이러한 반응결과는 좋은 수소원자주게로 디이소프로필 에테르를 디에틸 에테르 대신 용매를 사용하였을 때에도 큰 변화가 관찰되지 않았다. 이러한 관찰은 Grignard 시약과 유기할로겐 화합물이나 카르보닐 화합물과의 반응에서 촉매 양의 전이금속염이 전자전달과정 속도를 증가시켜 동종짝지음 이합체 생성물의 증가를 일으키는 보고와 반대의 경향을 보인다. 이러한 촉매량의 $FeCl_3$ 첨가가 CH_3$MgI의 이온성 공격의 증가와 그에 따른 교차짝지음 생성물의 증가로 유도하는 것은 브로모벤질과 반응 중 생성된 Fe 종과의 착화합물 형성에 의해 벤질탄소-브롬 결합이 CH_3$MgI의 탄소음이온 공격에 대해 반응성이 증가되는 것으로 설명하였다. 이러한 설명은 2-페닐-1-브로모에탄의 CH_3$MgI와의 반응연구에서 관찰된 반응성 결여가 뒷받침하고 있다.

Phosphorus is one of the major plant growth limiting nutrients, despite being abundant in soils in both inorganic and organic forms. Phosphobioinoculants in the form of microorganisms can help in increasing the availability of accumulated phosphates for plant growth by solubilization. Penicillium oxalicum CBPSTsa, isolated from paddy rhizosphere, was studied for its phosphate solubilization. The influence of various carbon sources like glucose, sucrose, mannitol and sorbitol and nitrogen sources like arginine, sodium nitrate, potassium nitrate, ammonium chloride and ammonium sulphate were evaluated using liquid media with tricalcium phosphate (Ca-P), ferric phosphate (Fe-P) and aluminium phosphate (Al-P). Maximum soluble phosphate of 824 mg/L was found in the amendment of sucrose-sodium nitrate from 5 g/L of Ca-P. Mannitol, sorbitol, and ariginine were poor in phosphate solubilization. While sucrose was better carbon source in solubilization of Ca-P and Al-P, glucose fared better in solubilization of Fe-P. Though all the nitrogen sources enhanced P solubilization, nitrates were better than ammonium In the amendments of ammonium chloride and ammonium sulphate, higher uptake of available phosphates by the fungus was found, and this resulted in depletion of available P in Fe-P amendment Phosphate solubilization was accompanied by acidification of the media, and the highest pH decrease was observed in glucose amendment Among the nitrogen sources, ammonium chloride favored greater pH decrease.

PVC를 열분해시켰을 때에 방출되는 염화수소와 전기로 제강공정에서 발생하는 분진을 반응시켜 PVC의 염소와 분진에 함유되어있는 유가금속을 염화물로 회수하기 위해 국내 I 사와 P 사의 전기로 제강공정에서 분진을 채취하여 물성을 조사하고, 순수한 PVC 분말과 분진을 혼합하여 펠릿을 제조한 후에 이를 $300^{\circ}C$에서 가열하여 생성되는 염화물과 펠릿의 상태를 조사하였다. 분진의 주 구성 광물은 zincite와 franklinite였으며, I dust와 P dust에 함유되어있는 아연중에서 각각 약 50%와 48%가 zincite로 존재하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 펠릿은 30$0^{\circ}C$에서 15분 이상의 가열로 PVC 분말의 모든 염소가 방출되었으며, 방출된 염화수소는 20%의 PVC 혼합량까지는 거의 전량이 분진과 반응하여 염화물을 형성하였다. 염화수소와의 반응은 zincite의 반응속도가 franklinite보다 빨라서 먼저 반응하고 이후의 남은 염화수소가 franklinite와 반응하므로 염화철(III)이 생성되지 않기 위한 PVC의 혼합량은 zincite의 양에 좌우된다.
