n order to increase the virus safety of a human intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) that was manufactured by a successive process of cold ethanol fractionation, polyethylene glycol precipitation, and pasteurization ($60^{\circ}C$ heat treatment for 10h), a low pH incubation process (pH 3.9 at $25{\circ}C$ for 14 days) was employed as the final step. The efficacy and mechanism of the fraction III cold ethanol fractionation, pasteurization, and low pH treatment steps in the removal and/or inactivation of blood-borne viruses were closely examined. A variety of experimental model viruses for human pathogenic viruses, including the Bovine herpes virus (BHV), Bovine viral diarrhoea virus (BVDV), Murine encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV), and Porcine parvovirus (PPV), were selected for this study. The mechanism of reduction for the enveloped viruses (BHV and BVDV) during fraction III fractionation was both inactivation and partitioning, however, it was partitioning in the case of the nonenveloped viruses (EMCV and PPV). The log reduction factors achieved during fraction III fractionation were ${\geqq}$6.7 for BHV, ${\geqq}4.7$ for BVDV, 4.5 for EMCV, and 4.4 for PPV. Pasteurization was found to be a robust and effective step in inactivating all the viruses tested. The log reduction factors achieved during the pasteurization process were ${\geqq}7.5$ for BHV, ${\geqq}4.8$ for BVDV, 3.0 for EMCV, and 3.3 for PPV. A low pH incubation was very effective in inactivating the enveloped viruses as well as EMCV. The log reduction factors achieved during low pH incubation were ${\geqq}7.4$ for BHV, ${\geqq}3.9$ for BVDV, 5.2 for EMCV, and 2.0 for PPV. These results indicate that the low pH treatment successfully improved the viral safety of the final products.

In this study, a reliable number of soil samples for TPH fractionation was investigated in order to perform risk assessment. TPH was fractionated into volatile petroleum hydrocarbons (VPH) with three subgroups and extractable petroleum hydrocarbons (EPH) with four subgroups. At the study site, concentrations of each fraction were determined at 18 sampling points, and the 95% upper confidence limit (UCL) value was used as an exposure concentration of each fraction. And then, 5 sampling points were randomly selected out of the 18 points, and an exposure concentration was calculated. This process was repeated 30 times, and the results were compared statistically. Exposure concentrations of EPH obtained from 18 points were 99.9, 339.1, 27.3, and 85.9 mg/kg for aliphatic $C_9-C_{18}$, $C_{19}-C_{36}$, $C_{37}-C_{40}$, and aromatic $C_{11}-C_{22}$, respectively. The corresponding exposure concentrations obtained from 5 points were 139.8, 462.8, 35.1 and 119.4 mg/kg, which were significantly higher than those from 18 points results (p <0.05). Our results suggest that limited number of samples for TPH fractionation may bias estimation of exposure concentration of TPH fractions. Also, it is recommended that more than 30 samples need to be analyzed for TPH fractionation in performing risk assessment.

A comprehensive fractionation technique was applied to a set of water samples obtained along drinking water treatment process with ozonation and biological activated carbon (BAC) process to obtain detailed profiles of dissolved organic matter (DOM) and to evaluate the haloacetic acid (HAA) formation potentials of these DOM fractions. The results indicated that coagulation-sedimentation-sand filtration treatment showed limited ability to remove hydrophilic fraction (28%), while removal of hydrophobic and transphilic fraction were 57% and 40%, respectively. And ozonation and BAC treatment showed limited ability to remove hydrophobic fractions (6%), while removal of hydrophilic and transphilic fractions were 25% and 18%. The haloacetic acid formation potential (HAAFP)/dissolved organic carbon (DOC) of hydrophilic fraction was the highest along the treatment train and HAAFP/DOC of hydrophilic fraction was higher than hydrophobic and transphilic fraction as 23%~30%, because of better removal for hydrophobic fraction both in concentration and reactivity.

본 연구의 목적은 국내 대표적인 농경잔류물인, 볏짚과 보릿짚을 이용하여 헤미셀룰로오스 부분의 최대 가용화를 위한 산 촉매 열수 분별공정의 타당성을 조사한 것이다. 1.2-2.9 범위의 반응가혹도(CS; Combined reaction severity)에서 다양한 분별 조건들을 사용하여 초기 반응조건 기준을 설정했다. 볏짚의 경우, 160 ℃의 반응온도, 0.75%(w/v)의 H₂SO₄, 20분의 반응시간, 그리고 1:15의 고체/액체 비율을 가진 반응 조건에서 56.6%의 헤미셀룰로스 당 수율을 얻을 수 있었으며, 보릿짚의 경우, 150 ℃ 반응온도, 0.75%(w/v) H₂SO₄, 15분의 반응시간, 1:10의 고체/액체 비율에서 83.0%의 헤미셀룰로스 당 수율을 얻었다. 따라서, 볏짚과 비교하여 보릿짚의 경우 산촉매 열수분획을 효과적으로 수행할 수 있었다. 분별과정 후 남은 분획된 고형분은 볏짚과 보릿짚에서 각각 48.5%와 57.5%였다. 분별된 볏짚과 보릿짚의 XMG(Xylan+Mannan+Galactan) 함량은 17.3% 및 17.6%에서 6.0% 및 2.6%로 각각 감소하였으며, 이는 원료 짚 기준으로 각각 16.7% 및 8.5%에 해당한다. 또한, 보리 짚의 산촉매 열수분별 과정에서 과도한 분해로 인해 셀룰로오스 및 XMG의 5.6% 및 8.5%만 손실된 반면, 볏짚의 셀룰로오스 및 XMG 손실은 6.4% 및 26.6%이었다. 볏짚의 헤미셀룰로스 당은 산 촉매 열수 분별공정중, 다소 높은 반응가혹도로 인해 심하게 과분해된 것에 기인한다.

The influence of processing fluids and electrode spacing on the electrokinetic process was evaluated to remediate As-, Cu-, Pb-contaminated soil. Single and mixture of sodium citrate, EDTA and NaOH was used to investigate the metal extraction. EDTA for washing reagent showed the highest removal efficiency. Based on the extraction result, the electrode spacing (20, 40, 60 cm) on the electrokinetic process was investigated to remove the multi-metals from soil. The highest removal was observed at the experiment with 60 cm of electrode spacing, however, the correlation between electrode spacing and removal of metals was not clear. The electrode spacing influenced the amount of accumulated electro-osmotic flow. BCR sequential extraction showed that electrokinetic process removed the fractionation of metals bound to Fe-Mn oxyhydroxide.

This article gives an overview of a recently developed channel system, frit-inlet asymmetrical flow field-flow fractionation (FI-AFlFFF), which can be applied for the separation of nanoparticles, proteins, and water soluble polymers. A conventiona l asymmetrical flow FFF channel has been modified into a frit-inlet asymmetrical type by introducing a small inlet frit near the injection point and the system operation of the FI-AFlFFF channel can be made with a great convenience. Since sample components injected into the FI-AFlFFF channel are hydrodynamically relaxed, sample injection and separation processes proceed without interruption of the migration flow. Therefore in FI-AFlFFF, there is no requirement for a valve operation to switch the direction of the migration flow that is normally achieved during the focusing/relaxation process in a conventional asymmetrical channel. In this report, principles of the hydrodynamic relaxation in FI-AFlFFF channel are described with equations to predict the retention time and to calculate the complicated flow variations in the developed channel. The retention and resolving power of FI-AFlFFF system are demonstrated with standard nanospheres and protreins. An attempt to elucidate the capability of FI-AFlFFF system for the separation and size characterization of nanoparticles is made with a fumed silica particle sample. In FI-AFlFFF, field programming can be easily applied to improve separation speed and resolution for a highly retaining component (very large MW) by using flow circulation method. Programmed FI-AFlFFF separations are demonstrated with polystyrene sulfonate standards and pululans and the dynamic separation range of molecular weight is successfully expanded.

High viscosity carbon black dispersions are used in various industrial fields such as color cosmetics, rubber, tire, plastic and color filter ink. However, carbon black particles are unstable to heat due to inherent characteristics, and it is very difficult to keep the quality of the product constant due to agglomeration of particles. In general, particle size analysis is performed by dynamic light scattering (DLS) during the dispersion process in order to select the optimum dispersant in the carbon black dispersion process. However, the existing low viscosity analysis provides reproducible particle distribution analysis results, but it is difficult to select the optimum dispersant because it is difficult to analyze the reproducible particle distribution at high viscosity. In this study, dynamic light scattering (DLS) and asymmetrical flow field-flow fractionation (AsFlFFF) analysis methods were compared for reproducible particle size analysis of high viscosity carbon black. First, the stability of carbon black dispersion was investigated by particle size analysis by DLS and AsFlFFF according to milling time, and the validity of analytical method for the selection of the optimum dispersant useful for carbon black dispersion was confirmed. The correlation between color and particle size of particles in high viscosity carbon black dispersion was investigated by using colorimeter. The particle size distribution from AsFlFFF was consistent with the colorimetric results. As a result, the correlation between AsFlFFF and colorimetric results confirmed the possibility of a strong analytical method for determining the appropriate dispersant and milling time in high viscosity carbon black dispersions. In addition, for nanoparticles with relatively broad particle size distributions such as carbon black, AsFlFFF has been found to provide a more accurate particle size distribution than DLS. This is because AsFlFFF, unlike DLS, can analyze each fraction by separating particles by size.

팜 스테아린으로부터 분별온도($X_1$=25, 30, $35^{\circ}C$)와 팜 스테아린에 대한 아세톤의 비율($X_2$=1:3, 1:6, 1:9, w/v)을 요인 변수로 하여 중심합성계획에 의한 반응표면분석을 이용하여 최적화한 POP purity($Y_1$, %), POO purity($Y_2$, %), POO+POP의 content($Y_3$, g)의 조건을 살펴보았다. $Y_1$, $Y_2$, $Y_3$의 종속요인들을 모두 최대화하면서 순도를 가장 높일 수 있는 분별조건을 예측한 결과, 분별온도 $29.3^{\circ}C$에서 팜 스테아린에 대한 사용 아세톤의 비율이 1:5.7일 경우 60.9%의 POP와 23.8%의 POO를 함유한 POO와 POP 분별유를 4 g의 팜 스테아린에서 3.0 g(75% 수율)의 획득을 예측할 수 있었다. POO와 POP의 순도를 높이면서 함량을 높이는 최적화 조건의 검증을 위하여 반복실험을 수행한 결과, POP purity와 POO purity, POO+POP의 content는 각각 60.18%, 24.10%, 74.38%(2.97 g)로, 반복 실험 간에 유의적인 차이가 없음을 확인하였다. 이렇게 얻어진 POO와 POP 함량 및 순도가 높은 유지는 앞으로 CBE의 주된 대칭형 TAG(POS와 SOS) 합성에 이용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
