Glycerol-3-phosphate cytidylyltransferase from Bacillus subtilis was modified with various chemical modifiers to determine the active sites of the enzyme. Treatment of the enzyme with group-specific reagents diethylpyrocarbonate, N-bromosuccinimide, or carbodiimide resulted in complete loss of enzyme activity, which shows histidine, tryptophan, and glutamic acid or aspartic acid residues are at or near the active site. In each case, inactivation followed pseudo first-order kinetics. Inclusion of glycerol-3-phosphate and/or CTP prevented the inactivation, indicating the presence of tryptophan and glutamic acid or aspartic acid residues at the substrate binding site. Analysis of kinetics of inactivation showed that the loss of enzyme activity was due to modification of a two histidine residues, single tryptophan residue, and two glutamic acid or aspartic acid residues.

Coal-derived syngas has been utilized by main fuel at IGCC power plant. Research efforts for investigating the characteristics of premixed and nonpremixed flames at gas-turbine condition have been conducted. The present study has been mainly motivated to evaluate the capability of the detailed chemical kinetics to predict the syngas laminar flame speed. Special emphasis is given to the effects of pressure, temperature, syngas composition, and dilution level on the characteristics of premixed and nonpremixed flames. The predicative capability of a number of detailed mechanism for laminar flame speed is compared to experimental data. From these results, detailed kinetics of Davis et al. and Li et al. have the best conformity with the experiments in the all the case of parametric studies.

Many computational fluid dynamic (CFD) simulations have treated the coal kinetics poorly due to large physical domain sizes and high computational complexity, particularly for the recent oxy-coal boilers. Furthermore, some modelers' lack of understanding of the kinetic rate model seems to worsen the simulation accuracy. This study is to suggest the importance of proper use of single-film global kinetic model generally used in CFD code to describe the oxy-fuel combustion of coal char through simple char burnout calculation.

The mechanism of methane sensing by Pd-SiC diode was investigated over the temperature range of 400~$600^{\circ}C$. The effects or methane gas reaction on the parameters such as barrier height, initial rate of methane gas reaction are investigated. The methane gas reaction kinetics on the device are also discussed. The physical and chemical mechanism responsible for methane detection are proposed. Analysis of steady-state reaction kinetics using I-V method confirmed that methane gas reaction processes are responsible for the barrier height change in the diode.

The kinetics of azo-coupling reaction of N-acetyl-H-acid (1-acetamino-8-hydroxynaphthalene-3, 6-disulfonic acid) with several heterocyclic diasonium compounds such as diazotiged 3-aminopyridine, 3-aminoquinoline, 8-aminoauinoline and aniline was studied. It was found that reactions proceeded at remarkably different rate. Reaction rate was in increasing order; 3-aminopyridine, 3-aminoquinoline, 8-aminoauinoline and aniline. And the activation energies were 9.62, 10.10, 10.39, 10.70 Kcal/mole, respectively. Especially, the rate constant of 3-aminopyridine was 100 times larger than that of benzene diasonium compound even in strong acidity. Hammett plot was also made of the rate constants obtained against the heterocyclic substituent constants reported in the literature. A good linear relationship was obtained and the reaction constant of N-acetyl H-acid was calculated to be 3.14.

In this study, the incineration of MEK and toluene was studied on a Pt supported alumina catalyst at temperature range from 200 to $350^{\circ}C$. An approach based on the Mars-van Krevelen rate model was used to explain the results. The object of this study was to study the kinetic behavior of the platinum catalyst for deep oxidation. The conversions of MEK and toluene were increased as the inlet concentration was decreased and the reaction temperature was increased. The maximum deep conversion of MEK and toluene were 91.81% and 55.69% at $350^{\circ}C$, respectively. The ${\kappa}_3$ constant increases with temperature faster than the ${\kappa}_1$ constant, that is, the surface concentration of ($VOCs{\cdots}O$) is higher than that of (O) at higher temperature according to the Mars-van Krevelen mechanism. Also the activation energy of toluene was larger than MEK for toluene is aromatic compound which have stronger bonding energy.Therefore, the catalytic incineration kinetics of MEK and toluene with Mars-van Krevelen mechanism could be used as the basic data for industrial processes.

Monod kinetics에 관련된 주요 생분해 파라미터를 도출하기 위하여 microcosm 규모의 배치실험에서 BTEX 화합물에 대해 분해능이 우수한 Pseudomonas aeruginosa을 이용해 다양한 농도의 벤젠에 대한 분해기작을 고찰하였다. 벤젠의 생분해율(D)과 Maximumspecific growth rate ($\mu$$_{max}$)는 기질의 농도가 증가할수록 높아지다가 최고점에 도달 후에 점차적으로 감소하였으며 이것은 어느 한계점 이상의 벤젠 농도가 미생물의 생분해에 방해 요소로 작용한다는 것을 나타낸다. 그러나 미생물에 의한 벤젠 분해의 상관관계를 나타내는 yield coefficient(Y)는 벤젠의 초기 농도가 낮을수록 높은 값을 나타내었다. Microbial decay constant( b)와 half-saturation constant(K$_{c}$)는 각각 0.21~0.48day$^{-1}$와 218mg/$\ell$로서 문헌값 보다 높은 수치를 나타내었다. 실험으로부터 결정된 생분해 파라미터들은 초기 벤젠 농도에 따라 큰 차이를 보이므로 생분해 모델링에 사용할 파라미터는 기질농도에 따라 적절하게 선택되어야 한다고 사료된다.

A metallurgical model for bainite transformation kinetics in the coarse-grained heat affected zone(CGHAZ) on the basis of an Avrami-type equation was studied. Isothermal transformation tests were carried out to obtain the empirical equations for incubation time and Avrami kinetic constants for C-Mn-Mo-Ni steel. The effect of prior austenite grain size(PAGS) on the reaction rate of bainite was also investigated. Compared with experimental transformation behavior of bainite, the predicted behavior was in good agreement. It was also found that a smaller grain size retard the bainite reaction rate, contrary to the classical grain size effect and this is considered to be caused by constraint of grain size to bainite growth.

Nitrate removal from aqueous solution was investigated using $ZnCl_2$ and phosphoric acid activated carbon developed from pomegranate peel with particle size 0.4 mm. Potassium nitrate solution was used in batch adsorption experiments for nitrate removal from water. The effects of activated carbon dosage, time of contact, and pH were studied. The equilibrium time was fond to be 45 min. Two theoretical adsorption isotherms namely Langmuir and Freundlich were used to describe the experimental results. The Langmuir fit the isotherm with the theoretical adsorption capacity ($q_t$) was fond 78.125 mg g-1. Adsorption kinetics data were modeled using the pseudo-first, pseudo-second order, and intraparticle diffusion models. The results indicate that the second-order model best describes adsorption kinetic data. Results show activated carbon produced from pomegranate is effective for removal of nitrate from aqueous solution.

The substrate effects on solid-phase crystallization of amorphous silicon (a-Si) films deposited by low-pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) using $Si_2H_6$ gas have been extensively investigated. The a-Si films were prepared on various substrates, such as thermally oxidized Si wafer ($SiO_2$/Si), quartz and LPCVD-oxide, and annealed at 600$^{\circ}C$ in an $N_2$ ambient for crystallization. The crystallization behavior was found to be strongly dependent on the substrate even though all the silicon films were deposited in amorphous phase. It was first observed that crystallization in a-Si films deposited on the $SiO_2$/Si starts from the interface between the a-Si and the substrate, so called interface-interface-induced crystallization, while random nucleation process dominates on the other substrates. The different kinetics and mechanism of solid-phase crystallization is attributed to the structural disorderness of a-Si films, which is strongly affected by the surface roughness of the substrates.
