A three phase fluidized bed bioreactor immobilized with Thiobacillus sp. IW was tested to remove hydrogen sulfide and methylmercaptan with high loading rate. In a single gas treatment, the bioreactor removed 92- 98％ of hydrogen sulfide with loading rate of 15- 66 g/l/h and removed 87-98％ of methylmercaptan with loading rate of 14-60 gl/sup -1/h/sup -1/. In the mixed gas treatment, the removal efficiencies of hydrogen sulfide and methylmercaptan maintained at 89-99％ for various inlet loading rates and were not affected by the inlet loading ratio of both gases in low loading rates. When the inlet concentration of methylmercaptan increased 3.8 times and was maintained for 30 h to observe the response of the bioreactor to sudden environmental change, the removal efficiency of methylmercaptan was maintained at an average of 91％.

The pH of coconut based activated carbon was changed by treating with NaOH and HNO3 and we have calculated the adsorption amounts of ammonia, hydrogen sulfide and methylmercaptan on the activated carbons using the break-through time which was obtained from break-through curve experiments. As a result of this study, the adsorption amounts of ammonia Has on the activated carbons were 2,6 mg/g, 17.2 mg/g and 31.6 mg/g with the pH 11, pH 7 and pH 3, respectively. These results indicated that the adsorption ability of ammonia on activated carbon was increased with decreasing the pH of activated carbon. Otherwise, in the cases of the adsorption experiment of hydrogen sulfide and methylmercaptan on the activated carbons with different pH. the activated carbon with pH 11 showed higher adsorption capacity than the activated carbons with pH 7 and pH 3. The adsorption amounts of hydrogen sulfide and methylmercaptan were 39.9 mg/g and 178 mg/g with pH 11, respectively. Finally, we analyzed the amount of ammonia delivered from 88 Lights cigarette made of triple filter which contained the activated carbon. The amount of ammonia delivered to smoke from the filter cigarette containing the activated carbon with pH 3 was 45.1${\mu}g$/cig. This value was lower 23.8 % than that from the activated carbon with the pH 11.

This study was performed to examine a possible application of the beverage as a bad breath controlling food. To achieve this objective, methods of gas chromatography, electronic nose, sensory analysis and halimeter were used to detect reduction in odor intensities of bad breath caused by the functional beverage as well as its active ingredients. According to results of GC and electronic nose, adding green tea and champignon extracts to bad breath indicators, methylmercaptan and trimethylamine, resulted in significant reduction in headspace concentrations of two indicators. GC results revealed that headspace concentrations of 5 ug/ml of methylmercaptan and 30 ug/ml of trimethylamine added to various concentrations of two extracts were reduced up to $100\%$ after incubating mixtures at $37^{\circ}C$ for 5min. When the functional beverage was properly formulated with green tea extract, champignon extract and $\alpha$-cyclodextrin and evaluated for its deodorizing effect systematically, it also showed distinctive deodorizing activities against bad breath indicators. Conclusively, results obtained from this study might encourage introduction of a new type of bad breath control food in near future.

Continuous deodorization of malodorous sulfur compounds by Thiobaillus neapolitanusts R-10 immobilized onto a polypropylene pellet was studied using a column reactor at 30$^{\circ}$C. The maximum amounts of immobilized cells was 5.3 gall polypropylene with 5$\times$7.5mm in pellet size, and the amounts of immobilized cells in the higher part of the column was as twice as in the lower part. The optimum pH and temperature for removal of dimethyl sulfide were 6.0 and 30$^{\circ}$C, respectively. When 5-20 ${mu}ell$/l of hydrogen sulfide and methylmercaptan were employed 98% of removal efficiency were achieved. In contrast, lower concentrations of dimethyl sulfide and dimethyldisulfide should be supplied to meet satisfactory deodorization efficiency. The immobilized cell column was successfully operated for the deodorization of mixture of sulfur compounds over 15 days without significant loss of initial activity achieving high efficiency.

축분(우분) 퇴비화시 악취 경감과 양질의 퇴비생산을 위한 적절한 공기주입율을 설정하고자, 밀폐형 반응조 (242l)에 우분과 볏짚의 혼합물(65% 수분함량)을 퇴적하고 0.09, 0.18, 0.90 및 $1.79l\;min^{-1}kg^{-1}dry-solids^{-1}$ 4처리의 공기량을 주입하여 574시간의 퇴비기간동안 퇴적물내의 산소농도 및 산소소비율의 변화와 황화합물 가스의 발생양상 및 산소농도와의 상관관계를 구명하였다. 1. 퇴적물내의 산소농도는 공기주입 즉시 급격히 감소하였으며, 공기주입을 $0.90l\;min^{-1}kg^{-1}dry-solids^{-1}$이하 처리에서의 산소제한성(산소 15%이하)은 공기주입율과 부의 지수적 관계로써 35~300시간의 범위에 있었으나 $1.79l\;min^{-1}kg^{-1}$에서는 산소제한성이 없었다. 2. 공기주입율별 산소소비율은 $0.80{\sim}1.57O_2g\;h^{-1}\;kg^{-1}VS^{-1}$ 범위로써 그 크기는 0.90> 1.79> 0.18> $0.09lmin^{-1}kg^{-1}$ 순이었고, 누적산소소비량은 $460{\sim}900O_2g\;kg^{-1}VS^{-1}$ 범위를 나타내었다. 최대 산소소비량은 공기주입율 $1.2{\sim}1.3lmin^{-1}\;kg^{-1}$ 범위로 추정되었다. 3. 황화수소, 이산화 황 및 메틸멀캅탄 가스의 배출농도는 퇴비화 초기에 극도로 높고 후기로 갈수록 급격히 감소하였으며, 처리별로는 공기주입율이 증가할수록 뚜렷이 감소하였다. 가스의 평균 배출농도는 0.03~2.18, 0~0.50, 0.07~3.38 ppm으로 각각 배출되어 그 농도의 크기는 매틸멀캅탄> 황화수소> 이산화황의 순이었다. 4. 퇴적물내의 산소농도와 황화합물 가스의 배출농도와는 1% 고도의 부의 지수적 상관이 있었으며, 황화수소와 메틸멀캅탄 가스는 산소농도 5%이하에서 급격히 증가하고 15%이상에서는 거의 배출되지 않으나 이산화황은 산소농도 29%에서도 배출되는 것으로 추정되었다.

수슬러지의 열분해를 통해 생성된 char를 이용하여 황화수소(H$_2$S), 메틸머캡탄(CH$_3$SH) 복합악취를 제거하기 위한 흡착제를 제조하여 흡착특성을 살펴보았다. 고정층 반응기 실험에서 최적의 L/D ratio는 1.0이었으며, 온도의 증가에 따라 파과점과 흡착능이 증가되었다. H$_2$S와 CH$_3$SH의 동시흡착 특성은 단일흡착 실험보다 파과점에 도달하는 시간과 흡착량이 증가하였고, 동일 조건에서 CH$_3$SH이 H$_2$S보다 높은 유효확산계수 값을 가지므로 빠른 흡착속도로 인한 흡착능의 증가를 보였다. 또한 하수슬러지로부터 제조된 탄화물은 상업용 활성탄과 비교하여 H$_2$S 77%, CH$_3$SH 80%의 성능으로 혼합 악취성가스 제거가 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

우리나라는 경제발전과 더불어 하수종말처리장과 음식물쓰레기처리시설의 수가 꾸준히 증가해왔다. 이들 시설들은 상수원 수질보전과 음식물쓰레기 재활용과 같은 긍정적인 역할을 수행하지만 한편으로는 심각한 악취문제를 유발해 인근주민들의 쾌적한 생활을 해치고 있는 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 부산시 환경기초시설에서 발생되고 있는 탈수슬러지케잌 및 음식물쓰레기샘플을 채취, 황화수소 발생 가능량을 예측함과 동시에 발생 가능량이 많을 것으로 나타난 1개 시료를 선정하여 실험실 규모의 Flux Chamber 실험을 통해 대기 시료를 포집하여 GC/FPD분석을 실시, 혐기성 상태일 때 이들 처리장폐기물에서 대기 중으로 배출하는 황계열 악취물질에 대한 배출농도 측정결과를 제시하고자 하였다. 황화수소발생량이 가장 많은 시료는 녹산 하수처리장의 슬러지 샘플로 농도가 156.18mg/kg이었고, GC/FPD로 분석을 실시한 결과를 토대로 악취농도지수(Odor Quotient)를 산정해 본 결과 개별 악취물질중 $CH_3SH$(methylmercaptan)이 총악취농도지수에서 차지하는 비율이 47.3%로 가장 주요 악취원인물질로 나타났다.

Emission characteristics of gaseous odor compounds emitted from the charcoal manufacturing process were investigated, and evaluated the odor removal efficiency of odor control devices. It was found that the measured odor dilution ratio of emission gases ranged from 10,000 to 44,814, which exceed largely the emission standard in the stack. Methylmercaptan, trimethylamine, hydrogen sulfide, acetaldehyde were turned out as major odor compounds of the charcoal manufacturing process. It was revealed that the odor removal ratio of odor control devices were very low due to the its improper maintenance and wrong design.

Graphene (G) has been modified with palladium, copper, and manganese oxide nanoparticles (NPs), and their catalytic applications have been studied in C-C coupling reactions and methylmercaptan (CH3SH) decomposition reactions. In this research, graphite oxide (GO) sheets were exfoliated and oxidized from graphite powder and impregnated with metal precursors including Pd2+, Cu2+, and Mn2+. The thermal treatments of the metal impregnated GO in preferred gas environments produced Pd NPs on graphene (Pd/G), PdO NPs on GO (PdO/GO), and CuOx and MnOx NPs on graphene (CuOx/MnOx/G). In case of Pd/G and PdO/GO, the TEM images show that, although the mean size of the Pd NPs changed significantly before and after the C-C coupling reaction, that of the PdO NPs didn't, implying that the PdO/GO was superior to Pd/G in terms of the recyclability. Also, we demonstrate that the CuOx/MnOx/G exerts the excellent catalytic efficiency in CH3SH decomposition reaction comparing with conventional catalysts. The chemical and electronic structural changes were investigated using XRD and XPS.
