In the determination of organic solvents in workplaces direct reading tube method have been used in Korea for decades. But this method is less accurate and couldn't measure TWA(Time Weighted Average) for 8 hours. Authors tried to detect Toluene concentration in S factory by using charcoal tube according to NIOSH method. The concentration was 158.8ppm. We propose this charcoal tube method should be substituted to get accurate results and to protect employee in workplaces related with solvents.

The purpose of this study was to compare the sensory effects of different culinary methods such as electric pan cooking and charcoal roasting on gamma irradiated ready-to-eat chicken at 10 kGy. Evlauation of sensory properties were measured by estimating the organoleptic characteristics and physicochemical properties (TBARS, hardness and color different matters). The results showed that gamma irradiation after charcoal-roasting could more effectively moderate the decrease of sensory qualities and reduce off-flavor of ready-to-eat chicken than gamma irradiation after following electric pan cooking. These results suggest that gamma irradiation after charcoal broiling can be an effective culinary method for the preparation of ready-to-eat chicken.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the change of volatile compounds in Dakgalbi cooked by charcoal broiling. Fresh deboned and marinated chicken meat was cooked by electric-pan frying or charcoal broiling and subsequently irradiated with a dose of 0, 10 and 20 kGy. Volatile components from Dakgalbi were analyzed using solid phase micro-extraction gas chromatography - mass spectrometry (SPME GC-MS) and identified through the comparison of mass spectrum database. SPME GC-MS analysis shows that a total of 32 volatiles were identified. Among them, aldehydes such as hexanal and octanal, which have relevance to off-flavors such as green, paint, metallic, bean and rancid were detected in Dakgalbi cooked by both methods. However, the contents were less detected in the Dakgalbi cooked by charcoal broiling than in the Dakgalbi cooked by electric-pan frying. Gamma-irradiation caused the change in the formation of these aldehydes in cooked Dakgalbi. The irradiation significantly increased the contents of hexanal and octanal in Dakgalbi cooked by electric-pan frying and a similar increase was found in Dakgalbi cooked by charcoal broiling. However, the contents of the off-flavors were much less in the latter. The results suggest that charcoal broiling might be more effective than electric-pan frying for the reduction of the contents of off-flavor such as hexanal and octanal increased in Dakgalbi by gamma-irradiation.

The electromagnetic wave absorption sheets were fabricated by mixing of $Fe_{73}Si_{16}B_7Nb_3Cu_1$ nanocrystalline soft magnetic powder, charcoal powder and polymer based binder. The complex permittivity, complex permeability, and scattering parameter have been measured using a network analyzer in the frequency range of 10 MHz$\sim$10 GHz. The results showed that complex permittivity of sheets was largely dependent on the frequency and the amount of charcoal powder : The permittivity was improved up to 100 MHz, however the value was decreased above 1 GHz. The power loss of electromagnetic wave absorption data showed almost the same tendency as the results of complex permittivity. However, the complex permeability was not largely affected by the frequency, and the values were decreased with the addition of charcoal powder. Based on the results, it can be summarized that the addition of charcoal powder was very effective to improve the EM wave absorption in the frequency range of 10 MHz$\sim$1 GHz.

To investigate the field applicability of a diffusive sampler (3M OVM #3500, passive sampling method) authors conducted a simultaneous measurement of personal organic solvents exposure in the air of the workplaces by charcoal tube with low volume sampler (active sampling method) and diffusive sampler. Samples were collected and analyzed by NIOSH method ($NMAM^{(R)}$) from thirty-eight workers in 12 factories who work in 6 different processes. Geometric mean (GM) and geometric standard deviation (GSD) were used to describe the result. To compare the results of the two methods, paired t-test was used. According to the manual of the exposure assessment of the mixed organic solvents (Ministry of Labor, Korea), Em was calculated. Simple linear regression was used to evaluate the relationship between the two methods. Results were as follows; 1. Eight different solvents (ethyl acetate, n-hexane, toluene, xylene, acetone, isopropyl alcohol, methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), and methyl isobutyl ketone) were detected simultaneously in the two methods and the concentrations of the personal exposure were lower than 0.5 TLV level. The concentration of the charcoal tube method was higher than that of a diffusive sampler in n-hexane and MEK (p<0.05). 2. Em of the charcoal tube method was higher than that of diffusive sampler method but not significantly different and was lower than the OEL (Occupational Exposure Limit) in all 6 processes. 3. There was a significant correlation between the two methods in low concentrations of the 8 organic solvents (p<0.05). In conclusion, there was no difference in charcoal tube method and diffusive sampler method in low concentrations of some organic solvents, diffusive sampler can be applied to assess the personal monitoring in low level exposure.

One type of biomass that has promising potential for bio pellet production is spent coffee grounds (SCGs). However, previous studies have shown that SCGs in bio pellets cause a lot of smoke. Therefore, they need to be mixed with a material that has a higher calorific value to produce better quality pellets. One material that can be used is pine wood because it has a natural resin content that can increase the calorific value. The aim of this study was to examine the quality of bio pellets produced with SCGs and pine wood charcoal at different particle sizes. The charcoal was ground using either a hammer mill (HM) or a ball mill (BM). Pine wood charcoal was mixed with SCGs at ratios of SCGs to pine wood charcoal of 4:6 and 6:4 by weight, respectively, and the adhesive used a tapioca with a composition ratio 5% of the raw material. The bio pellets were produced using a manual pellet press. The quality of the bio pellets was assessed based on Indonesian National Standard (SNI) 8021-2014, and the physical observations include flame length, burning rate, and compressive strength. The average water content, ash content, and calorific value of the bio pellets were in accordance with SNI 8021-2014, but the density and ash content values were below the standard values. The BM variation of bio pellets had a higher compressive strength than the HM variation, and the 4:6 BM variation had the longest burning time compared with 4:6 HM.

세슘은 물속에서 고상보다는 이온이나 착염 등 용존 형태로 존재하는 특성이 강하여, 오염 수계로부터 세슘 제거가 어려운 것으로 알려져 있다. 최근 많은 연구들이 수계 내에서 세슘의 제거효율이 높은 흡착제를 개발하는데 집중하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 대나무 활성탄을 흡착제로 사용하여 수계 내에 존재하는 세슘을 효과적으로 제거하는 실내실험을 실시하였다. 수용액으로부터 대나무 활성탄의 세슘 제거효율을 측정하고, 최적의 세슘 제거능을 가지는 흡착 조건을 도출하고자 다양한 조건에서 흡착 배치실험을 수행하였다. 국내에서 유통되고 있는 5 종류의 대나무 활성탄의 표면 특성을 SEM-EDS와 XRD 분석으로 규명하였으며, 이 중에서 비표면적이 큰 3 종류의 대나무 활성탄을 대상으로 세슘 제거 배치실험을 실시하였다. 다양한 초기 세슘 농도를 가지는 인공수(0.01~10 mg/L 범위)를 대상으로 대나무 활성탄에 의한 수용액 내 세슘 제거량을 측정하여 제거효율을 계산하였고, 두 종류의 흡착 등온식들을 흡착 배치실험 결과에 대응시켜 흡착 상수값을 결정함으로서, 대나무 활성탄의 세슘 흡착 특성을 규명하였다. FE-SEM 분석 결과, 대나무 활성탄은 표면이 다수의 기공을 포함하는 대나무의 섬유질 조직을 그대로 유지하는 입자들로 구성되어, 이들 섬유질 조직 내 다양한 형태의 기공들과 엽상조직 표면들이 주요 세슘 흡착공간인 것으로 밝혀졌다. 흡착 배치실험 결과, C type 대나무 활성탄의 세슘 제거효율이 가장 높았는데, 특히 수용액의 세슘 초기 농도가 1.0 mg/L 이하인 경우에도 75 % 이상(최고 82 %)을 나타내어, 원전사고 등에 의해 오염된 현장 지하수나 지표수(해수 포함)의 세슘농도가 대부분 1.0 mg/L 이하임을 고려하면, 실제 오염수 정화 가능성이 높을 것으로 밝혀졌다. 수용액의 온도는 $5-15^{\circ}C$ 범위, pH는 3-11 범위에서 높은 세슘 제거효율이 일정하게 유지되는 것으로 나타나 다양한 오염수에 적용할 수 있을 것으로 판단되었다. 흡착 배치실험 결과는 Langmuir 흡착모델과 유사하였으며, C type 대나무 활성탄의 최대흡착농도($q_m:mg/g$)값은 63.4 mg/g으로 기존의 상용화된 흡착제 값보다 높았고, 수용액의 초기 세슘 농도가 1.0 mg/L이하인 경우 표면흡착률(surface coverage) 값도 낮게 유지되어, 적은 양의 세슘으로 오염된 수계를 효과적으로 정화할 수 있음을 입증하였다.

본 연구에서는 목질계 바이오매스의 초임계수 처리 후 얻어진 당화액 내 발효저해물질인 퓨란계 화합물(5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF), 푸르푸랄)을 제거하기 위한 목탄 처리의 효과를 구명하고자 하였으며, 이를 위해 유사 당화액을 제조하고 목탄 투입량 및 처리 시간에 따른 당 및 퓨란계 화합물의 제거율을 계산해 활성탄의 경우와 비교분석하였다. 글루코오스, 자일로오스, 5-HMF, 푸르푸랄이 포함된 유사 당화액에 목탄 또는 활성탄을 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, 12% (w/v) 농도로 투입하여 1, 3, 6, 12, 24시간 동안 처리하였다. 처리 결과, 목탄 투입량 및 처리 시간이 증가함에 따라 5-HMF 및 푸르푸랄 제거율이 점차 증가하여 목탄 투입량 8%, 처리 시간 3시간 이상에서는 5-HMF, 푸르푸랄 모두 95% 이상 제거되었으며, 동시에 당의 손실(< 2%)은 거의 없었다. 반면, 활성탄을 처리하였을 경우, 목탄보다 온화한 조건(활성탄 투입량: 8%, 처리 시간: 1시간)에서도 5-HMF 및 푸르푸랄 제거율이 95% 이상이었으나, 글루코오스 및 자일로오스 또한 각각 10% 이상이 제거되었다. 따라서, 결론적으로 당 생산 및 추가적인 당 활용 공정을 고려할 때, 목탄을 이용하는 것이 상대적으로 당화액의 퓨란계 화합물을 효과적으로 제거하고 당 수율을 유지하는 방법으로 판단된다.
