The rapidly increasing threats to the environmental has increased the demand for biodegradable lubricants. Vegetable oils, such as olive, coconut, and sunflower oils, are readily obtainable and are not harmful, unlike synthetic and mineral oils. The tribological characteristics of these oils should be adequately examined for industrial applications. In this study, the lubrication characteristics of olive oil is investigated using a pin-on-disk-type tribometer under 500 gf of normal force, and the examination results are compared and analyzed with those of commercial synthetic lubricants for friction and wear. In addition, stearic acid, which is a type of saturated fatty acid, is mixed with olive oil as an additive to improve its lubrication characteristics. Olive oil with stearic acid additive is thus observed to exhibit the lowest friction coefficient for rotational speeds of 200 to 800 rpm. According to the wear analysis, a minimal amount of wear is observed when no additive is used. Hence, olive oil is able to effectively reduce friction and wear at relatively low speeds. These low friction and wear characteristics of olive oil are attributed to its compatibility with the substrate.

폐 플라스틱을 이용한 연료유 생산 공정을 위한 폴리프로필렌(PP) 수지에 대한 열분해 반응 실험을 하였다. 질소 분위기에서 상온에서 $650^{\circ}C$ 까지의 비등온 조건에서의 열분석기와 $420^{\circ}C$ 등온에서의 Pyrolyser GC-mass 분석기, $420^{\circ}C$의 배치형 반응기에서 무촉매반응과 천연제올라이트, 폐 FCC 촉매, ZSM-5 등의 제올라이트 계 촉매를 사용한 열분해 실험이 행하여졌다. TGA 실험에서 PP 수지의 열분해반응은 $330^{\circ}C$ 부근에서 시작되어, $497^{\circ}C$에서 완결되었다. 촉매반응에서 제올라이트 계열 촉매는 폐 FCC 촉매> 천연제올라이트> ZSM-5> PP의 순으로 열분해 반응속도를 높이는데 유효하였다. 열분해가 완료되는 온도도 폐 FCC 촉매 첨가 시 가장 낮게 나타났다. PY-G.C. mass 실험에서 PP 수지 만의 경우에서보다 촉매가 첨가됨에 따라 탄소 수가 낮은 생성물이 생성되는 것을 알 수 있었다. ZSM-5 촉매나 폐 FCC 촉매 첨가 시 특히 낮은 탄소 수의 생성물이 많이 생성되었다. 회분식 반응기에서 초기 오일생성율은 폐 FCC 촉매 첨가시 가장 높지만, 최종 오일전환율은 천연제올라이트 첨가 시가 폐 FCC 촉매 첨가 시보다 2% 정도 높았다. 탄소분석에서도 폐 FCC 촉매 첨가가 경유 성분이 주성분으로 요구되는 연료유 제조에 우수 하였다.

폐 농업용 비닐을 이용한 연료유 생산 공정을 위한 저밀도폴리에틸렌(LDPE)과 에틸렌비닐아세테이트(EVA) 수지에 대한 열분해 반응 실험을 하였다. 질소 분위기에서 상온에서 $650^{\circ}C$까지의 비등온 조건에서의 열분석기(열중량분석기, 시차주사열량계)와 $420^{\circ}C$의 배치형 반응기에서 무촉매 반응과 천연제올라이트, FCC 촉매, 폐 FCC 촉매, 중국 촉매(촉매 A) 등의 제올라이트계 촉매를 사용한 열분해가 행하여졌다. TGA 실험에서 무적제가 첨가된 EVA 수지는 열분해 개시 온도가 $250^{\circ}C$ 근처로 매우 낮아졌으나, 황토와 장수제 첨가는 열분해를 다소 지연시켰다. LDPE에서 제올라이트 계열 촉매는 촉매 A>폐 FCC 촉매>천연제올라이트>LDPE의 순으로 열분해 반응속도를 높이는데 유효하였다. EVA에서 제올라이트 계열 촉매 첨가 시는 폐 FCC 촉매>천연제올라이트>촉매 A>EVA 수지의 순으로 열분해 반응을 촉진시켰다. DSC 실험에서 제올라이트 계열 촉매 첨가 시 촉매 A>폐 FCC 촉매>천연제올라이트>LDPE의 순으로 융해개시 온도와 열분해열이 낮아졌다. 회분식 실험에서 천연제올라이트 첨가 시 시료 중 가장 높은 액상의 연료유 생성수율을 얻었다.

In this study, biodegradation rate of Arabian light crude oil by mixed cultures of selected petroleum-degraders was determined. Their modes of hydrocarbon uptake were then observed to determine whether there are differences in biodegradation rate by the mixed cultures. By the mixed cultures of petroleum-degraders having same modes of hydrocarbon uptake, such as strain US1 and K1 (using pseudo-solubilized hydrocarbons by a biosurfactants), K2-2 and P1(using hydrocarbons by direct contact), CL 180 and IC-10 (mixed type of uptake modes), the biodegradation rates of aliphatics in the crude oil were increased more than those by their pure cultures, about 40%, 25% and 20%, respectively. Biodegradation rate of strain KH3-2 (using only water- dissolved hydrocarbons) was increased by mixed cultures with strain K1, CL180 or IC-10 possessing high emulsifying activity. However, the biodegradation rate of the crude oil was decreased about 20%-40% by the mixed cultures of petroleum-degraders having different mode of hydrocarbon uptake, such as addition of strain US1 or K1 in the cultures of K2-2 or P1. Biosurfactants produced by US1 or K1 seems to enhance the emulsification of crude oil in aqueous phase but inhibit the attachment of K2-2 or P1 to crude oil. As same phenomena, the addition to Triton X-100 into the culture of strain US1, K1, CL180, IC-10 or KH3-2 increased the biodegradation rate, but the addition in the culture of strain K2-2 or P1 decreased the biodegradation rate. The mixed culture made of CL180, IC-10 and KH3-2 degraded 61.5% of aliphatics and 69% of aromatics in 3% (v/v) of Arabian light crude oil added.

Waste water-soluble cutting oil was treated with WI type #1 and WI type #2. The properties of the original water-soluble cutting oil were pH=l0.4, viscosity=1.4cP, CODcr=44,750 ppm, and TOC=10,569 ppm. However, the properties of the oil used for more than 3 months were changed to pH=7.82, viscosity=2.1cP, CODcr=151,000 ppm, and TOC=74,556 ppm. It might be attributed to the fact that molecular chains were cut due to thermal oxidation and impurities such as metal chips were incorporated in to the oil during the operation processes. To prevent the putrefaction of oil, the sterilization effect of ozone and UV on the microorganism in the oil was investigated. Ozone treatment showed that 99.99% of the microorganism was annihilated with 30 minutes contact time and 60 minutes were necessary for the same effect when UV was used. Ozone treatment could cut molecular chains of the oil due to strong sterilization power, which was evidenced by the increase of TOC from 25,132 ppm at instantaneous contact to 28,888 ppm at 30 minutes contact time. However, UV treatment didn't show severe changes in TOC values and thus, seemed to cause of severe cut of molecular chains. When the activated carbon was used to treat the waste water-soluble cutting oil, TOC decreased to 25,417 ppm with 0.lg carbon and to 15,946 ppm with 5.0g carbon. This results indicated that the waste oil of small molecular chains could be eliminated by adsorption. From the results, it could be concluded that these treatment techniques could be proposed to remove the waste oil of small molecular chains resulting in the degradation of the oil properties. In addition, these experimental results could be used for the correlation with future works such as investigation of the molecular distribution according to the sizes, lengths, and molecular weight of the chains.

본 연구는 선호하는 식물성 Base oil에 따른 클렌징 오일이 피부에 미치는 영향에 대해 알아보고자 하였다. 먼저 설문조사(100명)를 통해 세안 습관 실태 및 선호하는 식물성 Base oil를 파악하고, 이를 바탕으로 4종의 클렌징 오일을 제조하여 실험을 진행하였다. 실험은 20~30대 성인여성 10명을 대상으로 선정하여 실험 전 후 수분보유량, 유분보유량, 경피수분손실량(TEWL)을 측정하였고, 실험 후 만족도 설문조사를 실시하여 분석하였다. 그 결과, 클렌징 오일의 식물성 Base oil 종류에 따른 선호도 설문조사에서는 로즈힙 오일, 올리브 오일, 살구씨 오일, 동백 오일 순으로 나타났다. 임상 실험결과, 선호하는 식물성 Base oil에 따른 클렌징 오일(4종)의 클렌징 전 후 수분보유량과 유분보유량의 변화폭은 Base oil에 따라 차이는 있었으나 모두 증가하는 것으로 나타났다(p<0.001, p<0.001). 또한 TEWL의 변화량도 Base oil에 따라 차이는 있었으나 모두 감소하였다(p<0.01). 실험 후 주관적 만족도 설문조사 결과에서는 로즈힙 오일이 함유된 클렌징 오일(RHC)이 세정력 및 주관적인 만족도면에서 가장 높게 나타났다. 결론적으로 선호하는 식물성 Base oil에 따른 클렌징 오일이 피부의 유 수분보유량과 TEWL의 개선에 긍정적인 영향을 미쳐 피부장벽을 보호함으로서 피부개선 효과가 있음을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 개개인마다 피부타입과 선호하는 오일 및 사용감에 따른 만족도는 다르지만 본 연구의 식물성 Base oil에 따른 클렌징 오일은 단순히 세정의 차원을 넘어 피부건조와 피부장벽을 보호하는 피부보호 제품으로서 도움이 될 수 있을 것이다.

The purpose of this experiment was to investigate both the immunomodulatory effect of evening primrose(EP) oil and the effects of EP oil on immunoregulation by cyclophosphamide in mice. EP oil at doses of 0.1, 0.2 and 0.4 ml/kg were orally administered to ICR male mice once daily for 28 consecutive days. Cyclophosphamide was injected intraperitoneally to ICR mice with a single dose of 5 mg/kg at 2 days before secondary immunization. Mice were sensitized and challenged with sheep red blood cells(S-RBC). Immnune responses were evaluated by humoral and cellular immune responses and non-specific immune response. The results of this study were summarized as follows; (1) The humoral immune responses such as hemagglutination titer(HA), hemolysin titer(HY), Arthus reaction and plaque forming cell(PFC) were significantly enhanced in the low dose EP oil administered groups(0.1 and 0.2 ml/kg). However, in the high dose EP oil administered group(0.4 ml/kg) the responses were significantly lowered. (2) In the case of cellular immune responses, delayed type hypersensitivity reaction(DTH) was significantly decreased in EP oil whereas rosette forming cell(RFC) was remarkably enhanced. (3) Activities of natural killer cells and phagocyte were generally enhanced in EP oil. In addition, serum albumin and globulin were also increased.

The traditional method to calculate the gravity feed is to assume that only one tank in fuel system supplies the needed fuel to the engine, and then calculated for the single branch. Actually, all fuel tanks compete for supplying oil. Our method takes into consideration all fuel tanks and therefore, we believe, our method is intrinsically superior to traditional methods and is closer to understanding the real seriousness of the oil supply situation. Firstly, the thesis gives the mathematical model for fuel flow pipe, pump, check valve and the simulation model for fuel tank. On the basis of flow network theory and time difference method, we established a new calculation method for gravity feed oil of aeroplane fuel system, secondly. This model can solve the multiple-branch and transient process simulation of gravity feed oil. Finally, we give a numerical example for a certain type of aircraft, achieved the variations of oil level and flow mass per second of each oil tanks. In addition, we also obtained the variations of the oil pressure of the engine inlet, and predicted the maximum time that the aeroplane could fly safely under gravity feed. These variations show that our proposed method of calculations is satisfactory.

Effects of fertilizer additions for oil degradation were examined in sand seashore mesocosms. Within 37 days, up to $85\%$ removal was achieved by the addition of slow-release type fertilizer (SRF) with the initial degradation rate of 423.3 mg oil $(kg sand)^-1\;day^-1$. The removal was mostly of biological origin based on the changes of $C_17$ /pristane and $C_18$/phytane ratios from 2.60 to 0.81 and from 3.55 to 1.29, respectively. The addition of oleophilic fertilizer (Inipol EAP22) was less effective and resulted in the removal of $64\%$ of the added oil ($3\%$, v/v) with a lower initial degradation rate. Petroleum-degrading bacteria had achieved a value of $1{\times}10^8$ CFU $(g sand)^-1$ at Day 3 and this peak exactly coincided with the initial degradation in the SRF-treated mesocosm. In this mesocosm, surface tension values were decreased drastically during Days 3 and 8, suggesting that microbially-produced surface-active agents actively enhanced the oil degradation rate and cell proliferation. Although the Inipol-treated mesocosm appeared to show significantly enhanced oil degradation compared to that of the untreated control mesocosm, Inipol was found to be less effective than SRF in enhancing a true oil-degrader when compared under similar experimental conditions.
