In the soil washing process, the contaminants are usually removed by abrasion from soil particles using mechanical energy and water However, organic contaminants with low water solubility like polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) are remained on soil particles. Previous studies have shown that surfactant possessing amphipathic activity enhances the solubility of organic materials. For this reason solutions with surfactants have been used to improve removal of organic contaminants on soil washing process. But, in this manner, many problems were found like complete loss of surfactants and additional contamination by surfactant. The remediation method using microemulsion has been introduced to overcome these disadvantages. In this case, surfactants are recycled by phase separation of microemulsion after remediation. In microemulsion process, the surfactant will be recycled by phase separation of the microemulsion into a surfactant-rich aqueous phase and an oil phase after extraction. That is why remediation concept applying microemulsion as washing media has been Introduced. Suitable microemulsion have to be used in order to have the chance of refilling the soil after decontamination and to avoid any risk due to toxicity. The purpose of this research is to evaluate effect of microemulsion to remediation of contaminated soil. We performed test with various organic contaminants like Pyrene and BTEX, also compared efficiency of remediation in microemulsion process with soil washing

Microemulsions에 교차결합(crosslinking)고정화한 Microemulsions sp(NRRL B-3683)를 이용하여 소수성기질인 sitosterol로부터 AD, ADD를 합성하였다. Mycobacteria bioconversion활성도는 계면활성제의 종류와 물의 양에 의존한다. Mycobacteria는 양이온 microemulsions(CTAC-buthanol-cyclohexa-ne-water)에서 가장 높은 활성도를 갖으며, 이것은 buffer에서보다 5배 이상 효율을 갖음을 나타낸다. 음이온 microemulsions에서는 활성도가 매우 낮다. 양이온 microemulsions에서활성도는 물의 양에 따라서 변하며 물의 양이 증가함에 따라서 증가한다. 20%의 물을 포함한 microemulsions에서는 5%의 물을 포함한 microemulsions에서보다 약 배의 효율을 갖는다. 이와같이 microemulsions은 미생물을 이용한 bioconversion반응의 매질로써 효과적일 수 있다.

To develop novel transdermal formulation for aceclofenac, microemulsion was prepared for increasing its skin permeability. Based on solubiity and phase studies, oil and surfactant was selected and composition was determined. Microemulsion was spontaneously prepared by mixing ingredients and the physicochemical properties such was investigated. The mean diameters of microemulsion were approximately 90 nm and the system was physically stable at room temperature at least for 3 months. In addition, the in vitro and in vivo performance of microemulsion formulation was evaluated. Aceclofenac was released from microemulsion in acidic aqueous medium, and dissolved amounts of aceclofenac was approximately 30% after 240 min. Skin permeation of aceclofenac from microemulsion formulation was higher than that of cream. Following transdermal application of aceclofenac preparation to delayed onset muscle soreness, serum creatine phosphokinase and lactate dehydrogenase activity was significantly reduced by aceclofenac. Aceclofenac in microemulsion was more potent than cream in the alleviation of muscle pain. Therefore, the microemulsion formulation of aceclofenac appear to be a reasonable transdermal delivery system of the drug with enhanced skin permeability and efficacy for the treatment of muscle damage.

The use of palm oil and diesel blended with ethanol, known as a microemulsion biofuel, is gaining attention as an attractive renewable fuel for engines that may serve as a replacement for fossil-based fuels. The microemulsion biofuels can be formulated from the mixture of palm oil and diesel as the oil phase; ethanol as the polar phase; methyl oleate as the surfactant; alkanols as the cosurfactants. This study investigates the influence of the three cosurfactants on fuel consumption and exhaust gas emissions in a direct-injection (DI) diesel engine. The microemulsion biofuels along with neat diesel fuel, palm oil-diesel blends, and biodiesel-diesel blends were tested in a DI diesel engine at two engine loads without engine modification. The formulated microemulsion biofuels increased fuel consumption and gradually reduced the nitrogen oxides ($NO_x$) emissions and exhaust gas temperature; however, there was no significant difference in their carbon monoxide (CO) emissions when compared to those of diesel. Varying the carbon chain length of the cosurfactant demonstrated that the octanol-microemulsion fuel emitted lower CO and $NO_x$ emissions than the butanol- and decanol-microemulsion fuels. Thus, the microemulsion biofuels demonstrated competitive advantages as potential fuels for diesel engines because they reduced exhaust emissions.

Microemulsion is prepared by the method of phase inversion emulsification with d-limonene that is environmental friendly substance and nontoxic to human body as dispersed phase. Emulsifier used for preparation of microemulsion is nonionic surfactants, polyoxyethylene nonylphenyl ether. Stability of prepared microemulsion was estimated by the various method of ξ-potential, hydrodynamic diameter and electric conductivity. When d-limonene is emulsified by NP series, microemulsion is most stable and narrowly distributed at HLB value of 12.3(either one emulsifier or mixed emulsifiers). Stability of microemulsion is increased as the amount of emulsifiers is increased at same HLB value of 12.3. In the case of using the same amount of emulsifiers, number of produced micelle are relatively large as hydrodynamic diameter is small. Therefore, the state of microemulsion is stable and the electric conductivity is increased. One can determine that higher electric conductivity value means that microemulsion has more micelles and is more stable.

4성분계 o/w 형 microemulsion의 안정성과 유동특성에 비이온 계면활성제와 보조계면 활성제의 혼합비가 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. 비이온 계면활성제와 보조계면 활성제의 혼합비에서 계면활성제의 양이 증가함에 따라 입자의 크기가 작아졌고, 경시안정성이 양호하였으며, 이 때의 혼합비는 20/40 - 30/30으로 나타났다. Rheogram을 통하여 시료에는 일정한 내부구조가 형성됨을 의미하는 항복점이 존재함을 알 수 있었으며, 전단속도 증감 시 전단응력이 일치하지 않는 hysteresis를 나타내었다. hysteresis의 면적은 혼합비에서 계면활성제의 양이 많아짐에 따라 커졌으며 제조된 microemulsion은 rheopetic한 특성을 보였다.

The objectives of this study were to formulate oral paclitaxel microemulsion and to compare the bioavailability of paclitaxel in the microemulsion formulation from the commercially available $Taxol^{(R)}$ formulation. Paclitaxel microemulsion was formulated with much less amount of Cremophor $EL^{TM}$ as compared with $Taxol^{(R)}$ to reduce severe adverse reactions produced by Cremophor $EL^{TM}$. The area under the plasma concentration-time curve from 0 hr to 24 hr ($AUC_{0-24}$), maximum plasma concentration ($C_{max}$), and relative bioavailability of palcitaxel microemulsion were increased as compared with $Taxol^{(R)}$ after oral administration. The time required to reach $C_{max}\;(T_{max})$ of palcitaxel microemulsion was significantly shorter than $Taxol^{(R)}$ following oral administration. These results suggest the faster intestinal absorption and the enhanced oral bioavailability of paclitaxel in the microemulsion formulation.

Ibuprofen is one of the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) and has shown antiinflammatory; antipyretic, and analgesic activity in both animals and humans. But it causes gastric mucosal abnormalities including edema, erythema, and submucosal petechial hemorrhages and erosin in human. In addition, based on the pharmaceutical point of view the compression and dissolution ability of ibuprofen is known as poor. Therefore we studied to develop novel formulation containing water-insoluble drug, ibuprofen, using microemulsion consisting of surfactant, oil phase, and water phase was prepared for the purpose of increasing its bioavilability The physicochemical properties such as particle size, dissolution rate, solubility of ibuprofen in the system were determined. After oral administration of ibuprofen containing the microemulsion system, to Sprague-Dawley rats, pharmacokinetic parameters were also obtained. For the formulation in the study, oleic acid, linoleic acid, and several kinds of glycerides and triglycerides were used as an oil phase with several surfactants. Diethylene glycol monoethyl ether (Transcuto $l^{ }$) or saturated polyglycolized glycerides (Labrafil $^{ }$)as surfactant was used, the domain of microemulsion was wide. The diameter of o/w microemulsion was ranged from 90 to 220 nm. Microemulsion, prepared with unsatulated polyglycolized glycerides (Labrafil $^{ }$) and the 2 : 1 molar mixture of diethylene glycol monoethyl ether (Transcuto $l^{ }$)/polyoxyethylene(4) lauryl ether (Bri $j^{ }$ 30) , is expected to be promising system that increased the bioavilability of ibuprofen.ibuprofen.

비이온성 계면활성제 $C_{12}E_5$, 비극성 오일 n-hexadecane, 물을 포함한 계에 oleyl alcohol 혹은 oleic acid 같은 극성 성분을 첨가했을 때의 Phase Inversion Temperature (PIT)를 측정한 결과, 첨가한 극성성분은 친유성 첨가제와 같이 PIT를 급격히 감소시킴을 알 수 있었다. PIT에서의 microemulsion phase의 surfactant film 조성 계산에 의하면 surfactant film에서의 극성 성분/계면활성제 비율이 증가할수록 PIT는 감소하였다. 또한 극성 성분의 첨가는 PIT에서의 microemulsion phase의 부피와 오일, 물의 solubilization parameter에도 큰 영향이 있었다. PIT의 감소에 따라, 예를 들면 극성 성분의 첨가량을 증가시킴에 따라, microemulsion phase의 부피는 급격히 증가하였으며 아울러 오일, 물 모두의 microemulsion phase에 대한 solubilization parameter가 급격히 증가하였다. 본 연구 결과를 비교할 수 있는 세척력 실험결과는 현재 없지만 PIT의 측정은 middle-phase microemulsion phase가 형성되는, 즉 많은 양의 오일을 제거할 수 있는 조건을 예측할 수 있는 유용한 방법임을 알 수 있었다.
