Styela clava tunic is generated in large amounts as a waste from S. clava processing plants and causes environmental problem. Although biological activities of S. clava were reported by many investigators, study on S. clava tunic was little. In this study, therefore, tyrosinase inhibition and antioxidative activities of extracts from S. clava tunic using different solvent were investigated for recycling of the fishery waste. Among extraction methods tested, autoclaved extraction (25.7%) and hot water extraction (18.2%) appeared to be effective for extraction. The highest total phenolic content was 46.6 mg/g in autoclaved extract while the highest flavonoid content was 23.0 mg/g in chloroform extract. All extracts possessed tyrosinase inhibition activity and the inhibition activity was concentration-dependent. Inhibition concentration ($IC_{50}$) against tyrosinase activity was $0.36{\times}10^4$ mg/ml in ethanol extract, $0.11{\times}10^3$ mg/ml in acetone extract and 0.27 mg/ml in n-butanol extract. Among extracts tested, hot water and autoclaved extracts displayed higher antioxidative activity than organic solvent extracts. Therefore, our data suggest that extract from S. clava tunic may potential candidate for cosmetic product with whitening effect and medicine for diseases caused by various oxidative stresses.

An adsorption chiller is expected to have high energy-efficiency in utilizing the waste heat exhausted from a process. The objective of this paper is to investigate the performance of silica gel-water adsorption chiller from the cycle simulation and to provide a guideline for design of the adsorption chiller. The effect of cycle time, inlet temperature and water flow rate on the cooling capacity and COP is quantified during the cycle operation. It is found that the performance of adsorption chiller is more sensitive to the change of inlet water temperature rather than the water flow rate. It is concluded that the COP is 0.57 in the standard conditions(hot water $80^{\circ}C$, cooling water $30^{\circ}C$, chilled water inlet temperatures $14^{\circ}C$ and cycle time 420sec).

Background: During hot environment work tasks with whole-body enclosed anti-bioaerosol suit, the combined effect of heavy sweating and exhaled hot humid air may cause the N95 medical respirator to saturate with water/sweat (i.e., water-blocking). Methods: 32 young male subjects with different body mass indexes (BMI) in whole-body protection (N95 medical respirator + one-piece protective suit + head covering + protective face screen + gloves + shoe covers) were asked to simulate waste collecting from each isolated room in a seven-story building at 27-28℃, and the weight, inhalation resistance (R_f), and aerosol penetration of the respirator before worn and after water-blocking were analyzed. Results: All subjects reported water-blocking asphyxia of the N95 respirators within 36-67 min of the task. When water-blocking occurred, the R_f and 10-200 nm total aerosol penetration (P_t) of the respirators reached up to 1270-1810 Pa and 17.3-23.3%, respectively, which were 10 and 8 times of that before wearing. The most penetration particle size of the respirators increased from 49-65 nm before worn to 115-154 nm under water-blocking condition, and the corresponding maximum size-dependent aerosol penetration increased from 2.5-3.5% to 20-27%. With the increase of BMI, the water-blocking occurrence time firstly increased then reduced, while the R_f, P_t, and absorbed water all increased significantly. Conclusions: This study reveals respirator water-blocking and its serious negative impacts on respiratory protection. When performing moderate-to-high-load tasks with whole-body protection in a hot environment, it is recommended that respirator be replaced with a new one at least every hour to avoid water-blocking asphyxia.

Hot air heater with light oil burner is the most common heater for greenhouse heating in the winter season in Korea. However, since the thermal efficiency of the heater is about 80∼85%, considerable unused heat amount in the form of exhaust gas heat discharges to atmosphere. In order to capture this exhaust heat a heat recovery system for plant bed heating in the greenhouse was built and tested in the hot air heating system of greenhouse. The heat recovery system is made for plant bed or soil heating in the greenhouse. The system consisted of a heat exchanger made of copper pipes, ${\Phi}12.7{\times}0.7t$ located in the rectangular column of $330{\times}330{\times}900mm$, a water circulation pump, circulation plastic pipe and a water tank. The total heat exchanger area is 1.5$m^2$, calculated considering the heat exchange amount between flue gas and water circulated in the copper pipes. The system was attached to the exhaust gas path. The heat recovery system was designed as to even recapture the latent heat of flue gas when exposing to low temperature water in the heat exchanger. According to the performance test it could recover 45,200 to 51,000kJ/hr depending on the water circulation rates of 330 to $690\ell$/hr from the waste heat discharged. The exhaust gas temperature left the heat exchanger dropped to $100^{\circ}C$ from $270^{\circ}C$ by the heat exchange between the water and the flue gas, while water gained the difference and temperature increased to $38^{\circ}C$ from $21^{\circ}C$ at the water flow rate of $690\ell$/hr. By the feasibility test conducted in the greenhouse, the system did not encounter any difficulty in operations. And, the system could recover 220,235kJ of exhaust gas heat in a day, which is equivalent of 34% of the fuel consumption by the water boiler for plant bed heating of 0.2ha in the greenhouse.

There is a need for waste recycling. This study was carried out to investigate removal efficiency of TCE in water treatment with adsorbent made from coffee grounds which obtained after extraction of coffee through hot water. The removal of TCE in synthetic Waste water using adsorbents was examined varying dose, concentration and temperature on a laboratory scale. The results were as followed 1. As much as 95% TCE remogal was possible with adsorbent made from coffee grounds at an adsorbent dose over 2.5 g/l under the test conditions. 2. The removal rate of TCE was propotional to weight of adsorbent made from coffee grounds (0.025, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5 g). 3. In the effect of temperature, as temperature of wastewater was high, the rate of removal was increased. 4. Iodine number (865 mg/g) of adsorbent made from coffee grounds was not higher than that (1123 mg/g) of adsorbent made from coconut. But, in considering adsorption capacity, Iodine number was inapplicable to adsorbent made from coffee grounds. 5. Generally, Freundlich's equation applies to adsorption in wastewater. In case of TCE, slope (1/n) was 0.83, 1.06 and intercept (k) was 456.18, 405.19 at 150, 300 ppb respectively (average r=0.904, 0.933).

심층 처분방식은 고준위폐기물을 처분하기 위한 가장 적합한 대안으로 고려되어지고 있다. 심층 처분시설은 지하 500~1,000m 깊이의 암반층에 설치되며 심층 처분시스템의 구성 요소로는 처분용기, 완충재, 뒷채움 및 근계 암반이 있다. 이 중 완충재는 심층 처분시스템에 있어 매우 중요한 역할을 한다. 완충재는 지하수 유입으로부터 처분용기를 보호하고, 방사성 핵종 유출을 저지한다. 처분용기에서 발생하는 고온의 열량이 완충재로 전파되기에 완충재의 열적 성능은 처분시스템의 안정성 평가에 매우 중요하다고 할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 국내 경주산 압축 벤토나이트 완충재에 대한 열전도도 추정 모델을 개발하고자 하였다. 압축 벤토나이트 완충재의 열전도도는 비정상 열선법을 이용하여 다양한 함수비와 건조밀도에 따라 측정하였으며, 총 39개의 실험 데이터를 토대로 회귀분석을 이용하여 경주 압축 벤토나이트의 열전도도 추정 모델을 제시하였다.
