We report the synthesis and characterization of new alkoxy substituted spirobifluorene derivatives. The spiro compounds having alkoxy hydrocarbon chains were readily soluble in common organic solvents, having improved film-forming properties and had a significantly reduced tendency to crystallize, resulting in increasing their service lifetime. The results of DSC showed that it was amorphous. The optical and electroluminescent spectra were characterized. Electroluminescence (EL) properties of three-layer light emitting diodes (LED) of $ITO/TPD/spirobifluorene/Alq_3/LiF/Al$ as the active layer were characterized. Blue emission peaking of the EL spectrum of the three-layer device at 402 nm and a luminance of 3,125 $cd/m^2$ were achieved at a drive voltage 12.8 V. The luminous efficiency was obtained to be 1.7 lm/W. The color coordinate in CIE chromaticity is (0.16, 0.09), which is in a pure blue region. The external quantum efficiency was obtained to be 2.0%. The results indicate that the spirobifluorene compounds having alkoxy hydrocarbon chains are strongly potential blue emitters for LED applications.

In order to obtain basic information on the production of single cell protein from petroleum, more than 400 yeast strains were isolated from various soil samples in Korea utilizing petroleum hydrocarbon as the sole carbon source. A yeast strain showing the highest cell yield among the isolated strains was selected and identified. The optimal culture condition was searched in the flasks shaken throughout the procedure. And the growing characteristics for the selected yeast strain and chemical analysis of the yeast cell component were carried out. The results obtained were as follows: 1. The selected yeast strain was identified as Candida curvata and we named it Candida curvata-SNU 70. 2. The composition of the medium proposed for the present yeast strain is: Light Gas Oil 30ml, Urea 400mg, Ammonium sulfate 100mg, Potasium phosphate (monobasic) 670mg, Sodium phosphate (dibasic) 330mg, Magnesium sulfate 500mg, Calcium carbonate 3g, Yeast extract 50mg, Tween 20 0.05ml, Tap water 1,000ml. 3. Other culture conditions employed for the yeast were pH 5.5-7.0, temp. $30^{\circ}C$ under an affluent aerobic state. 4. Addition of light gas oil in portions to the culture media as the growth proceeded was more effective, especially in the cultivation on the higher oil concentration media. 5. Studies on the propagation of the yeast cells in the light gas oil medium revealed that the yeast has the lag phase lasted 16 hours and the logarithmic growth phase covered 16 to 28 hours. The specific growth rate was about $0.22\;hr^{-1}$ and doubling time was 3.2 hrs. during the logarithmic growth phase. 6. Under the cultural condition employed, the cell yield against the amount of light gas oil (wt%) was 16.1% and the protein content of the dried yeast cells was 48.4%.

Photoreduction of Methyl Orange Catalyzed by Nile Red-Adsorbed TiO$_2$/Y zeolites. Nile Red was successfully adsorbed on TiO$_2$/Y zeolites and the absorption profile is very broad with maxima, ca. 630 nm. The peak is largely red-shifted compared to that observed in hydrocarbon solvents. Furthermore, a broad and largely Stokes shifted emission band as observed around 660 nm. The largely Stokes shifted emission band should be originated from the excited state structural changes. In order to understand the photocatalytic activities of Nile Red-adsorbed TiO$_2$/Y zeolite, the photoreduction of Methyl Orange(5.0$\times$10$^{-5}$ M) was studied using visible light beyond 320 nm. Methyl Orange was effectively reduced by Nile Red-adsorbed TiO$_2$/Y zeolite, indicating the photocatalytic activity of Nile Red-adsorbed TiO$_2$ zeolites was enhanced by about eight times higher than that of TiO$_2$/Y zeolite.

Gasoline engines have proven their utility in light, medium and heavy duty vehicles. Concern about long term availability of petroleum and the environment norms by the increased vehicular emission have mandated the search for safe fuel. CNG is an environmentally clean alternative to the existing spark ignition engines with the advantages of minimum change. A higher octane number and a higher self ignition temperature make it an attractive gaseous fuel. The thermal efficiency is better than gasoline for the same engine. The reduced carbon mono oxide, carbon di-oxide, hydrocarbon emissions is a favorable outcome along with a slight increase in $NO_x$ emission when compared with gasoline fuel to a dual fuel mode in the existing spark ignition engines. The result from the experiment shows that CNG could be a potential substitute fuel that maintains performance and emissions characteristics in gasoline engines.

A direct-injection stratified-charge(DISC) engine has been considered as a promising alternative in spite of high unburned hydrocarbon emission levels during light load operation. In this paper investigation is made to characterize formation and combustion processes of stratified mixture charge in a simple constant volume combustion chamber. Both experimental and numerical analyses are performed for fluid and combustion characteristics with 3 different induction types for rich, homogeneous and lean mixture conditions. The commercial code FIRE is applied to the turbulent combustion process in terms of measured and calculated pressure traces and calculated distributions of mean temperature, OH radical and reaction rate. It turns out that the highest combustion rate occurs for the rich state condition at the spark ignition location due to existence of stoichiometric mixture and timing.

Between 40,000 and 60,000 liters of light oil were spilled when an underground pipe broke at a newly constructed landfill site in coastal area, Korea. Methods were presented to examine the subsurface distribution of the contaminants in hydrocarbon-contaminated soil. As results, large quantities of oil and grease were found to have migrated horizontally at the site. Oil and grease plume at concentrations of 38-88 mg/kg was formed horizontally through silty sand with gravel fill and the vertical movement of the contaminants was thought to be limited to groundwater level between 2 and 4 m corresponding to sea water level. Right after finding the leakage area, the early action of excavation and pumping out the mixture of groundwater and oil was taken and it was proved to be very effective for preventing further contamination. Two months after the leakage, oil and grease in sea water sample near contaminated area was not detectable.

Ni/MgAl 촉매상에서 LPG의 수증기 개질반응을 반응온도 $700{\sim}800^{\circ}C$, 공간속도 $20,000h^{-1}$, 수증기/탄소 비율 $1.0{\sim}3.0$인 조건으로 대기압하에서 수행하였다. 본 연구에서 사용된 촉매들은 공침법으로 제조하였으며, 하이드로탈사이트 구조에서 Ni-MgO 구조로 변환되는 과정에서 활성금속인 니켈이 고분산되는 장점을 지니고 있다. 제조된 촉매는 함침법으로 제조된 촉매보다 활성이 잘 유지되었으며 탄소침적에 대한 내구성 또한 향상되었으나 완벽하게 해결되지는 못하였다. 따라서 이와 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위해 귀금속이 modified된 Ni/MgAl 촉매를 제조하고 반응 특성을 비교하였다. Rh-Ni/MgAl 촉매는 LPG 수증기 개질 반응에서 1024시간동안 활성이 유지됨을 확인하였을 뿐만 아니라 탄소침적 또한 발생하지 않음을 확인하였다.

We present a hypothetical quantum scattering model to propose a novel electroluminescence device. Adoping with features of solid state semiconductor LED and exciplex laser, the cathode (electrol incoming potential) and anode(electron outgoing potential) are made to correspond to two 1-dimensional resonance supporting potentials, and the light emitting part to an interaction potential in the intermediate region. When an external voltage is applied, the electron flows into the cathode having small work function. Subsequently in flows via LUMO of the " electron incoming potential" loses kinetic energy emitting a photon, then continues to flow via LUMO of the "electron outgoing potential" unlike the conventional LUMO to HOMO transitions occurring in solid state semiconductor LED. In this model, the photon frequency can be controlled by adijusting the applied voltage. The model hopefully could be realized as partially conjugated hydrocarbon chains.

Gasoline engine have proved its utility in light, medium and heavy duty vehicle in every sector of the world community. The concern about long term availability of petroleum and the increasing threat for the environment by the increasing load of vehicular emission, compel the technology to upgrade itself for meeting the challenges. CNG is environmentally clean alternative to the existing SI Engines with out much change in the hardware. Many researchers have found this as a potential substitute to meet the energy requirement. Higher octane number and higher self ignition temperature make it a good gaseous fuel. Although power output is slightly lesser than the gasoline it's thermal efficiency is better than the gasoline for the same SI Engine. Results showed that reduced CO, hydrocarbon emissions is a favorable outcome, with slight increase in $NO_x$ emission when compared with gasoline fuel to dual fuel mode in the existing SI Engines.

Large-scale fuel tanks emit massive amount of hardly-combustible VOC mixtures which are light hydrocarbon species in dilution with nitrogen and carbon dioxide. We have developed a lab-scale burner to combust those VOC mixtures by use of a turbulent partially-premixed flame as a pilot flame. For a higher HC treatment ratio, the mixture gases were reformed by a rotating arc plasma device. The results showed that the nitrogen mole fraction and the injecting speed of the VOC mixture influence on the performance of the burner. It was also found that the size of the pilot flame and the power supplied to the plasma device determine the overall HC treatment ratio and the concentrations of CO and NOx in the exhaust gas.
