대기 중에 존재하는 저농도 CH₄을 제거를 위한 흡착제 개발을 위해서 Zeolite Template Carbon (ZTC)을 합성하였다. 탄소 전구체가 ZTC 합성에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위해서, CH₄와 C₂H₂를 탄소 전구체로 사용하여 ZTC를 합성하였으며, 또한 이온 교환에 사용된 금속의 영향을 알아보기 위해서 CaCl₂와 LiCl을 사용하여 이온교환한 Y Zeolite을 Template로 사용하여 ZTC를 합성하였다. 탄소 전구체 간의 비교에서는 C₂H₂가 CH₄ 보다 더 높은 탄소 수율을 보였으며, 또한 미세기공이 발달한 ZTC를 합성하였다. 이는 C₂H₂의 분자 동역학적 크기(Kinetic Diameter) (3.3 Å)가 CH₄의 분자 동역학적 크기(Kinetic Diameter) (3.8 Å)보다 더 작기 때문에, 제올라이트 템플릿의 미세 기공 내부의 깊숙한 곳에서부터 탄소 침착을 가능하였기 때문인 것으로 판단된다. 이온 교환에 사용된 금속 전구체 간의 비교에서는 CaCl₂ 기반의 ZTC가 LiCl을 기반의 ZTC보다 미세 기공이 발달한 것을 확인하였는데, 이온 교환된 Ca가 탄소 전구체에 의한 Pore Blocking을 억제해서 기공 내부로 탄소 전구체가 들어 갈 수 있게 한 덕분으로 판단된다. 합성된 ZTC를 이용하여, 298 K에서의 N₂와 CH₄의 흡착 등온선을 측정하였는데, 전체적으로 CH₄의 흡착량이 N₂보다는 높다는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 CaY 기반으로 C₂H₂를 이용하여 합성한 ZTC 샘플이 N₂와 CH₄ 흡착량이 가장 높았지만, 흡착 공정 설계의 중요한 인자인 CH₄와 N₂의 흡착 비율 기준으론 CH₄으로 합성한 샘플이 가장 높게 나왔다. 이는 N₂ 흡착과 관련 깊은 초미세기공이 덜 발달하여, N₂의 흡착량을 줄임으로서 오히려 CH₄/N₂ 분리도를 높게 해 주었기 때문으로 판단된다.

Objective: The objective of this study was to look for optimal preparation of hydrolysates of desalted duck egg white powder (DDEWP) by the three different proteases and to investigate their antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. Methods: DDEWP was hydrolyzed by three proteases, including pepsin (PEP), Bacillus spp. (BA) and natokinase (NAT) with three different enzyme concentrations (0.1%, 0.3%, and 0.5%), individually. The important key hydrolysis parameters such as hydrolysis degree, yield, antioxidant and antimicrobial activity were evaluated in this experiment. Results: The results showed that the degree of hydrolysis (DH) of all treatments increased with increasing hydrolysis time and protease concentrations. The antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of the hydrolysates were affected by type and concentration of protease as well as hydrolysis time. Hydrolysis of PEP significantly (p<0.05) obtained the highest yield of hydrolysates, however, both of BA and NAT showed substantially lower DH values and still did not exceed 5% by the end of hydrolysis. Among the different hydrolysates, PEP exhibited significantly higher 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity than BA and NAT. All DDEWP hydrolysates from PEP had low ferrous ion chelating activity (<37%) that was significantly lower than that of NAT (>37% to 92%) and BA (30% to 79%). Besides, DDEWP hydrolysates of PEP presented significantly higher reducing power than BA and NAT. In antimicrobial activities, Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhimurium, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were not effectively inhibited by any DDEWP hydrolysates of PEP except for Staphylococcus aureus. Especially, the excellent antibacterial activity against S. aureus only was displayed in DDEWP hydrolysates of PEP 0.1%. Conclusion: DDEWP hydrolysates from PEP demonstrated significantly better DH, yield, DPPH radical scavenging activity and reducing power, furthermore, had excellent inhibitory on S. aureus due to large clear zone and moderated inhibitory in bactericidal inhibition.

Ralstonia syzygii subsp. indonesiensis (Rsi, former name: Ralstonia solanacearum phylotype IV) PW1001, a causal agent of potato wilt disease, induces hypersensitive response (HR) on its non-host eggplant (Solanum melongena cv. Senryo-nigou). The disaccharide trehalose is involved in abiotic and biotic stress tolerance in many organisms. We found that trehalose is required for eliciting HR on eggplant by plant pathogen Rsi PW1001. In R. solanacearum, it is known that the OtsA/OtsB pathway is the dominant trehalose synthesis pathway, and otsA and otsB encode trehalose-6-phosphate (T6P) synthase and T6P phosphatase, respectively. We generated otsA and otsB mutant strains and found that these mutant strains reduced the bacterial trehalose concentration and HR induction on eggplant leaves compared to wild-type. Trehalose functions intracellularly in Rsi PW1001 because addition of exogenous trehalose did not affect the HR level and ion leakage. Requirement of trehalose in HR induction is not common in R. solanacearum species complex because mutation of otsA in Ralstonia pseudosolanacearum (former name: Ralstonia solanacearum phylotype I) RS1002 did not affect HR on the leaves of its non-host tobacco and wild eggplant Solanum torvum. Further, we also found that each otsA and otsB mutant had reduced ability to grow in a medium containing NaCl and sucrose, indicating that trehalose also has an important role in osmotic stress tolerance.

수계 내 질소의 증가는 부영양화나 녹조 및 적조현상을 유발하여 수계의 파괴 및 물의 자정능력을 저하시켜 전세계적으로 중요한 환경문제가 되었다. 수계 내 질소의 가장 일반적인 형태는 암모늄(NH₄⁺)이온의 형태로 폐수로부터 유입되는 가장 많은 부분을 차지하고 있으며 부영양화의 주요 원인이 되고 있어 암모늄 제거에 있어 적절한 처리 및 방안이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 생장력이 좋은 바이오매스 중 하나인 수단그라스를 적용하여 바이오차를 생산하였으며, 200℃-400℃ 탄화 온도 조건 변화에 따른 과정에서 생성된 수단그라스 바이오차를 활용하여 암모늄 이온, 10~100ppm 농도 변화에 따른 흡착능력 분석하였으며, 이 결과를 통해 흡착제로써 활용 가능성을 평가하고자 하였다. 탄화반응으로 인해 수단그라스의 화학구조가 분해되면서 바이오차의 탄소 및 고정 탄소함량이 증가하였다. 바이오차의 pH는 탄화 온도가 높을수록 pH와 전기전도도가 높아지면서 전기전도도로 인해 양이온에 대해 높은 흡착 가능성을 보였다. 흡착실험 결과를 바탕으로 NH₄-N의 농도가 높아지면서 최대 54.5%, 최저 17.4%의 제거효율을 보였으며, 탄화 온도가 높을수록 바이오차의 기공 및 비표면적 증가로 인해 오염물질의 흡착이 용이해져 NH₄-N의 제거효율이 높아졌다. FT-IR 분석 결과, 탄화반응의 고온으로 인해 전체적인 표면 작용기의 감소가 나타났다.

The results of the modification of metal materials treated by high temperature pulst:d plasma fluxes (HTlPPF) with a specific power of incident flux changing in the $(3...100)10^5{]\;}W/cm^2$ range and a pulse duration lying from 15 to $50{\;}\mu\textrm{s}$ have been presented. The results of HTPPF action were studied on the stainless steels of 18Cr-l0Ni, 16Cr- 15Ni, 13Cr-2Mo types; on the structural carbon steels of (13...35)Cr, St. 3, St. 20, St. 45 types; on the tool steels of U8, 65G, ShHI5 types, and others; on nickel and high nickel alloy of 20Cr-45Ni type; on zirconium- and vanadium-base alloys and other materials. The microstructure and properties (mechanical, tribological, erosion, and other properties) of modified materials and surface alloying of metals exposed to HTPPF action have been investigated. It was found that the modification of materials by HTPPF resulted in a simultaneous increase of several properties of the treated articles: microhardness of the surface and layers of 40...60 $\mu\textrm{m}$ in depth, tribological characteristics (friction coefficient, wear resistance), mechanical properties ({\sigma_y}, {\;}{\sigma_{0.2}}.{\;}{\sigma_r}) on retention of the initial plasticity ($\delta$), corrosion resistance, radistanation erosion under ion irradiation, and others. The determining factor of the changes observed is the structural-phase modification of the near-surface layers, in particular, the formation of the fine cellular structure in the near-surface layers at a depth of $20{\;}{\mu\textrm{m}}$ with dimension of cells changing in the range from 0.1 to $1., 5{\;}\mu\textrm{m}$, depending on the kind of material, its preliminary treatment, and the parameters of plasma fluxes. The remits obtained have shown the possibility of purposeful surface alloying of metals exposed to HTPPF action over a depth up to 20...45 $\mu\textrm{m}$ and the concentration of alloying element (Ni, Cr, V) up to 20 wt.%. Possible industrial brunches for using the treatment have been also considered, as well as some results on modifying the serial industrial articles by HTPPF.

Mixed-mode hydrophobic/ionic matrices exhibit a salt-tolerant property for adsorbing target protein from high-ionic strength feedstock, which allows the application of undiluted feedstock via an expanded bed process. In the present work, a new type of mixed-mode adsorbent designed for expanded bed adsorption, Fastline $PRO^{\circledR}$, was challenged for the capture of nattokinase from the high ionic fermentation broth of Bacillus subtilis. Two important factors, pH and ion concentration, were investigated with regard to the performance of nattokinase ad-sorption. Under initial fermentation broth conditions (pH 6.6 and conductivity of 10 mS/cm) the adsorption capacity of nattokinase with Fastline PRO was high, with a maximum capacity of 5,350 U/mL adsorbent. The elution behaviors were investigated using packed bed adsorption experiments, which demonstrated that the effective desorption of nattokinase could be achieved by effecting a pH of 9.5. The biomass pulse response experiments were carried out in order to evaluate the biomass/adsorbent interactions between Bacillus subtilis cells and Fastline PRO, and to demonstrate a stable expanded bed in the feedstock containing Bacillus subtilis cells. Finally, an EBA process, utilizing mixed-mode Fastline PRO adsorbent, was optimized to capture nattokinase directly from the fermentation broth. The purification factor reached 12.3, thereby demonstrating the advantages of the mixed-mode EBA in enzyme separation.

The kinetics of copper ion biosorption by Pseudomonas stutzeri cells immobilized in alginate was investigated. During the first few minutes of the metal uptake, the copper biosorption was rapid and then became progressively slower until an equilibium was rapid, and then became progressively slower until an equilibrium was reached. At a biomass concentration of 100g/l, the copper biosorption reaction reached approximately 90% of the equilibrium position within 30 min. A Freundich-type adsorption isotherm model was constructed based on kinetics with different amounts of biomass. When using this model, the experimental values only agreed well with the predicted values in a solution containing less than 200 mg/l Cu(II). Desorption of the bound copper ions was achieved using electrolytic solutions of HCl, $H_2SO_4$, EDTA, and NTA (0.1 or 0.5 M). Metal desorption with 0.1 M NTA allowed the reuse of the biosorbent for at least ten consecutive biosorption/desorption cycles, without an apparent decrease in its metal biosorption capability. A packed-bed column reactor of the immobilized biomass removed approximately 95% of the metal in the first 30 liter of wastewater [containing 100 mg/l Cu(II)] delivered at a rate of 20 L/day, and, thereafter, the rate gradually decreased.

A solvent sublation using salphen as a ligand was studied and applied for the determination of trace Ni(II), Co(II) and Cu(II) in water samples. The fundamental study was investigated by a solvent extraction process because the solvent sublation was done by extracting the floated analytes into an organic solvent from the aqueous solution. The salphen complexes of Ni(II), Co(II) and Cu(II) ions were formed in an alkaline solution of more than pH 8 and then they were extracted into m-xylene. It was known that the each metallic ion formed 1 : 1 complex with the salphen and the logarithmic values of extraction constants for the complexes were 3.3 5.1 as an average value. Based on the preliminary study, the procedure was fixed for the separation and concentration of the analytes in samples. Various conditions such as the pH of solutions, the influence of $NaClO_4$, the bubbling rate and time of $N_2$ gas, and the type of organic solvent were optimized. The metal-salphen complexes could be extracted into m-xylene from the solution of more than pH 8, but the pH could be shifted to acidic solution of pH 6 by the addition of $NaClO_4$. In addition, the solvent sublation efficiency of the analytes was increased by adding $NaClO_4$. The recovery of 97-115% was obtained in the spiked samples in which given amounts of 0.3 mg/L Ni(II), 0.8 mg/L Co(II) and 0.04 mg/L Cu(II) were added.
