Cesium carbonate was used as an adsorbent to capture carbon dioxide from gaseous stream of carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and moisture in a fixed-bed to obtain the breakthrough data of $CO_2$. The deactivation model in the non-catalytic heterogeneous reaction systems is used to analyze the sorption kinetics among carbon dioxide, carbonate, and moisture using the experimental breakthrough data. The experimental breakthrough data are fitted very well to the deactivation model than the adsorption isotherm models in the literature.

A composite material was tested to eliminate phenol in aqueous solution combining adsorption on activated carbon and photocatalysis with $TiO_2$ in two different ways. A first implementation involved a sequential process with a loop reactor. The aim was to reuse this material as adsorbent several times with in situ photocatalytic regeneration. This process alternated a step of adsorption in the dark and a step of photocatalytic oxidation under UV irradiation with or without $H_2O_2$. Without $H_2O_2$, the composite material was poorly regenerated due to the accumulation of phenol and intermediates in the solution and on $TiO_2$ particles. In presence of $H_2O_2$, the regeneration of the composite material was clearly enhanced. After five consecutive adsorption runs, the amount of eliminated phenol was twice the maximum adsorption capacity. The phenol degradation could be described by a pseudo first-order kinetic model where constants were much higher with $H_2O_2$ (about tenfold) due to additional ${\bullet}OH$ radicals. The second implementation was in a continuous process as with a fixed bed reactor where adsorption and photocatalysis occurred simultaneously. The results were promising as a steady state was reached indicating stabilized behavior for both adsorption and photocatalysis.

Upgrading of pyrolysis wax oil has been conducted in a continuous fixed bed reactor at $450^{\circ}C$, 1hour, LHSV 3.5/h. The catalytic degradation using HZSM-5 catalyst are compared with the thermal degradation and also was studied with a function of experimental variables. The raw pyrolysis wax oil shows relatively high boiling point distribution ranging from around $300^{\circ}C$ to $550^{\circ}C$, which has considerably higher boiling point distribution than that of commercial diesel. The product characteristic from thermal degradation shows a similar trend with that of raw pyrolysis wax oil. This means the thermal degradation of pyrolysis wax oil at high degradation temperature is not sufficiently occurred. On the other hand, the catalytic degradation using HZSM-5 catalyst relative to the thermal degradation shows the high conversion of pyrolysis wax oil to light hydrocarbons. This liquid product shows high gasoline range fraction as around 90% fraction and considerably high aromatic fraction in liquid product. Also, in the catalytic degradation the experimental variable such as catalyst amount and reaction temperature was studied.

지속가능한 발전과 저탄소 녹색성장의 개념이 대두되면서 우리나라를 비롯한 주요 선진국은 자국의 화석연료 의존도를 낮추고 대체에너지로 환경친화적이며, 청정에너지로 각광받는 신 재생에너지의 활용에 경제적, 정책적 지원을 아끼지 않고 있는 실정이다. 실제로 유럽에서는 바이오매스의 일종인 우드칩을 활용한 가정용 보일러가 보급되고 있으며, 동남아시아에서는 열대식물을 이용한 저온열분해를 활용하여 바이오디젤을 생산하고 있다. 우리나라의 경우 대부분의 바이오매스는 발생되는 임야에서 재이용되거나 경제성이 있을 경우에 운송되어 재활용되고 있으며, 임부목과 같은 일부 바이오매스는 수익성이 없어 발생현지에 방치되는 경우도 있다. 본 연구에서 주목한 왕겨의 경우 미곡종합처리장에서 대량으로 발생되지만 그 활용도에 있어서 축적된 바이오에너지에 비해 에너지회수율이 저조하다고 할 수 있다. 왕겨는 임야에서 발생되는 폐목재나 다른 바이오매스에 비해 함유되어 있는 수분이 적고(12%), 휘발분의 함량이 많으며(58%), 고정탄소(17%), 회분(13%)로 열분해/가스화에 적용가능하다. 본 실험에서 생산된 합성가스의 활용방법으로는 보일러를 이용한 스팀 및 전력생산, 가스엔진을 이용한 전력생산, 폐열회수 등이 있으며 생산된 합성가스를 활용하기 위해서는 오염물질의 정제특성에 대한 연구가 선행되어야 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 합성가스 내에 존재하는 분진, 타르, HCl, HCN, $NH_3$의 제거효율을 조사하였다.

Integrity authentication of biometric data in Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) is a critical issue because the sensitive data transmitted over broadcast wireless channels could be attacked easily. However, traditional cryptograph-based integrity authentication schemes are not suitable for WBAN as they consume much computational resource on the sensor nodes with limited memory, computational capability and power. To address this problem, a novel lightweight integrity authentication scheme based on reversible watermark is proposed for WBAN and implemented on a TinyOS-based WBAN test bed in this paper. In the proposed scheme, the data is divided into groups with a fixed size to improve grouping efficiency; the histogram shifting technique is adopted to avoid possible underflow or overflow; local maps are generated to restore the shifted data; and the watermarks are generated and embedded in a chaining way for integrity authentication. Our analytic and experimental results demonstrate that the integrity of biometric data can be reliably authenticated with low cost, and the data can be entirely recovered for healthcare applications by using our proposed scheme.

The catalytic decomposition of CFC-113(1,1,2-trichloro-1,2,2-trifluoroethane) was studied over an activated carbon catalyst in a fixed-bed reactor at the temperature from 300 to 600$^\circ$C, the space velocity (SV) of 1800 $\sim 14400h^{-1}$ and the mole ratio(decomposition agent/CFC-113) of 0.25 $\sim$ 5. In the absence of a decomposition agent, the decomposition efficiency of CFC-113 was low but when a decomposition agent was added to the gas stream, it was dramatically increased with the increase of temperature. In particular, in the presence of n-hexane as the decomposition agent it showed a high decomposition efficiency compared with benzene at 400$^\circ$C. It was found that the decomposition activity of CFC-113 was very sensitive to reaction temperature. Thus it is expected that to raise the reaction temperature is more effective than to increase the residence time and the amount of decomposition agent. Over the activated carbon catalyst more than 99% decomposition was achieved at the reaction temperature of 600$^\circ$C, SV of 7200$h^{-1}$, the mole ration $(C_6H_{14}/CFC-113)$ of 1 in this study.

Using in situ hybridization, we have mapped the anatomical localization of perikarya containing myNA that codes for sonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) in the brains of female frogs, R. dybowskii. DNA olisomers, with sequences complementary to the GnRH portion of pro-GnRH myNA sequence, were synthesized and hybridized to paraformaldehvde-fixed, sagittal sections of the whole brain stem. The distribution of the GnRH mRNA containing cell bodies was similar to that described for GnRH peptide by immunohistochemistrv. That is, cells containing GnRH mRNA were observed in the medial septal area, anterior preoptic area, ventromedial hvpothalamus and infundibular regions. However, another cell groups which contains GnRH mRNAs were also detected by in situ hybridization in the bed nucleus of hippocampal commissure, preoptic area, nucleus infundibularis dorsalis, mesencephalic nuclei and intermediolateral cell column of spinal cord areas. These results demonstrate the feasibility of using in situ hybridization as a strategy to study the distribution of GnRH neurons and the detection of GnRH gene expression in the vertebrates.

Reactions of m-xylene were studied in a fixed-bed type micropulse reactor over cation-exchanged dealuminated mordenite and zeolite Y catalysts. Over H-mordenite catalysts higher catalyst pretreatment temperature as well as dealumination resulted in the increase of the formation of disproportionation product. $Ba^{2+}- and Mg^{2+}-$exchanged mordenite catalysts showed the shape selectivity in the disproportionation reaction of m-xylene, that is, the formation of trimethylbenzene decreasing sharply as the degree of cation exchange increased.

Titanium dioxide nanotube supported ZSM-5 zeolite composite catalyst was fabricated by decorating ZSM-5 zeolite on the hydrothermally synthesized titanium dioxide via hydrothermal process and subsequent annealing. The catalyst was characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Nitrogen adsorption-desorption (BET). The surface acidity of the catalyst was measured by means of Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectrum of pyridine adsorption. And the catalytic activity for ethanol dehydration to ethylene was evaluated in a continuous flow fixed-bed reactor. Attributed to the increase of the effective surface acid sites caused by titanium dioxide nanotube as electron acceptor, titanium dioxide nanotube supported ZSM-5 zeolite composite catalyst exhibits strongly enhanced activity for ethanol dehydration to ethylene.
