In this study, we used coal based activated carbons as starting material and phenolic resin (PR) as a bonding agent to prepare spherical shaped activated carbons. The textural properties of SAC were characterized by BET surface area, XRD, SEM, iodine adsorption, strength intensity and pressure drop. According to the results, the spherical activated carbon prepared with activated carbon and PR at a ratio of 60:40 was found to have the best formation of spherical shape, which was found in sample SAC40. After activation, SAC40 has high BET surface area, iodine adsorption capability and strength value, and lowest pressure drop.

To improve photocatalytic performance, a $PbS/ZnO/TiO_2$ nanotube catalyst was synthesized, and its surface characteristics and photocatalytic efficiency were investigated. The hybrid photocatalysts were produced by anodic oxidation and successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction(SILAR). The photocatalytic efficiency was evaluated using the dye degradation rate. The $PbS/ZnO/TiO_2$ photocatalyst significantly enhanced the photocatalytic activity for dye degradation, which was ascribed to the synergistic effect of their better absorption of solar light and a decrease in the rate of excited electron-hole recombination.

Al-SBA-1(Si/Al = 40, 80 and 120) and Al,Mg-SBA-1 (Si/(Al+Mg) = 40 and 80) molecular sieves were synthesized and characterized. Acetalization of n-heptanal with methanol was studied under autogenous pressure between 80 and $150^{\circ}C$. Since protonation of n-heptanal was fast, addition of methanol to the same to formed hemiacetal slowly whereas conversion of hemiacetal to acetal was fast. The catalysts exhibited nearly similar conversion irrespective of their difference in acidity, and all of them showed more than 80 % conversion either at 80 or $100^{\circ}C$. Hence it is evident that the difference in acidity is not so important in differentiating the activity of the catalysts. The large pore size and hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties are suggested to be the main factors that control acetalization.

경제성장과 산업도시의 발달로 인해 물의 사용량이 증가함에 따라 하수처리장의 수와 규모가 커지고 있어 하수처리장에서 발생하는 하수슬러지의 양도 지속적으로 증가하고 있다. 런던협약 '96의정서 발효에 따라, 하수슬러지의 해양배출기준이 대폭 강화 되었으며 또한 2012년부터는 하수슬러지의 해양 투기가 전면 금지될 것이므로, 해양투기 등으로 처리되고 있는 하수슬러지를 에너지자원으로 활용하여 고유가 및 기후변화에 적극 대응하고, 런던협약 등에 따른 해양투기 금지('2012)에 대처하기 위해 하수슬러지의 처리 및 재이용 방법에 대한 최근의 연구동향을 고찰해 보았다.

우리나라 농어촌 지역은 경제 발전과 함께 식생활의 개선 및 주택 개량, 수세식 화장실 보급 확대등으로 생활 오수 발생량이 크게 늘고 있는 실정이다. 이에 1994년부터 정부는 하수도법에 의한 수질개선 대책 사업등으로 마을 하수도 사업이 진행되어 왔으나, 현재 몇몇 농어촌 지역의 마을하수도 시설의 노후화 및 처리용량 부적합 등으로 현재 질소, 인의 처리효율이 방류수 수질기준에 적합하지 못하여 주변 수역의 수질개선을 위한 고도처리개선이 필요한 실정이다. 따라서, 본 연구는 소규모 마을하수도처리시설에 적용하고자 하는 고도처리개선공정을 GPS-X(General Purpose Simulator) 시뮬레이션으로 계획수질을 추정하여 대상시설에 적합한 고도처리개선공정을 설계하였다. 측정결과, 각 반응조별 시뮬레이션에서 혐기조, 무산소조, SBR1, SBR2 모두 일정한 처리형태를 보였으며, 시뮬레이션을 통한 유출수 예측결과, SS의 경우 97.3%, BOD 97.5%, TCOD 87.3%, TP 81.1%, TN 74.5%의 제거효율을 보여, 안정적인 고도처리효과를 나타내는 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구에서는 메탄을 물질로 산화실험을 수행하였다. 메탄의 발화온도가 탄화수소 중에 가장 높으며, 대부분의 전이금속촉매 활성온도가 가장 높게 나타나는 물질이므로 메탄의 연소가 일어날 경우 대부분의 탄화수소류는 연소가 일어날 수 있으므로 메탄의 산화반응을 연구하였다. 메탄의 산화를 위한 전이금속 촉매중 망간을 산화물형태로 $Al_2O_3$, $TiO_2$에 담지하여 메탄에 대한 활성능을 측정하였으며, 조촉매로 금속산화물을 이용하여 활성능의 변화를 연구하였다. 또한 자연에 존재하는 천연망간광석과 금속산화물을 담지하여 최적의 메탄에 대한 활성능을 지닌 촉매를 선별하였다. 조촉매로는 Ce, Sn, Ni, Co, Mo 등을 이용하였다. 또한 본 연구에서는 촉매 제조는 과잉용액함침법을 사용하여 담지체에 촉매물질을 분산하였으며, 온도와 유량에 대한 각 조성 촉매의 활성능을 측정하여 활성화에너지 및 $T_{50}$, $T_{90}$을 도출하였다.

The aim of this study was to investigate effects on joint mobilization in neurochemical changes of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate-diaphorase (NADPH-d) and nitric oxide synthase (NOS) of the spinal cord neurons after right knee joint immobilization (RKJI) and in ultrastructural changes of the femoral nerves innervating the muscles acting on RKJI. A total of 15 guinea pigs were used and divided into 5 groups. Immunohistochemistry was performed to detect NADPH-d and NOS. NADPH-d and NOS were not expressed in the ventral horn of control and experimental groups, but were expressed or not in the dorsal horn according to the duration of release after RKJI and the presence or absence of joint mobilization. Ultrastructures of the femoral nerves in experimental groups had partial demyelination and condensed clumps in axon. Effects on manipulative therapy after RKJI were confirmed from expression of NADPH-d and NOS in the dorsal horn of the lumbosacral spinal cord. Manipulative therapy was more effective against a long-term immobilization than a short-term immobilization.

A new copper adenine MOF (Bio-MOF) was synthesized by hydrothermal procedure and explored for its low temperature $CO_2$ adsorption. In this adenine a DNA nucleotide was used as a ligand for Cu in DMF solution at $130^{\circ}C$. The synthesized Bio MOF was characterized by XRD, SEM, EDS, TG and BE Tresults. The material possesses high surface area (716.08 $m^2g^{-1}$) with mono dispersed particles of about 2.126 nm. The maximum $CO_2$ adsorption capacity is 5wt% at $50^{\circ}C$, which is regenerable at $100^{\circ}C$ which is very low when compared to other metal organic frame work studied. This study proves that the synthesized material is also be a choice materials for low temperature $CO_2$adsorption.

Interest in the use of semiconductor-based photocatalyst materials for the degradation of organic pollutants in a liquid phase has grown, due to their excellent performance and response to the light source. Herein, we fabricated a NiO-SiC-TiO₂ ternary structured photocatalyst which had reduced bandgap energy, with strong activation under UV-light irradiation. The synthesized samples were examined using XRD, SEM, EDX, TEM, DRS, EIS techniques and photocurrent measurement. The results confirmed that the two types of metal oxides were well bonded to the SiC fiber surface. The junction of the new photocatalyst exhibited a large number of photoexcited electrons and holes. The holes tended to oxidize the water and form a hydroxyl radical, which promoted the decomposition of methylene blue. The close contact between the 2D SiC fiber and metal oxide semiconductors expanded the scope of absorption wavelength, and enhanced the usability of the ternary photocatalyst for the degradation of methylene blue. Among three synthesized samples, the NiO-SiC-TiO₂ showed the best photocatalytic effect, and was considered to have excellent photoelectron transfer due to the synergy effect between the metal oxide and SiC.

The application and analysis of the interaction of various biomaterials including the concentration of biomaterials, thickness, and the ability of the detection of the analytical kinetic data of special biomaterials have been performed by SPR(surface plasmon resonance) sensor. To fabricate the scanning SPR, we designed data acquisition board and LabVIEW program for the personal computer to control the SPR sensor and collect the data from detector.
