When extracting semi-volatile components of herbal medicines using hot water vapor, some substances may react with water vapor or oxygen, and some volatile substances may be lost, when using an organic solvent extraction method has the disadvantage that it may contain a non-volatile material and residual organic solvent. In addition, it is inefficient to separate semi-volatile substances from herbal medicines into each single component and conduct biological activity research for each component to determine the effective ingredient, and some components may be lost in the separation process. In this study, semi-volatile substances evaporated under two pressure-reduced conditions in Chinese herbal medicines such as Cnidii Rhizoma, Aucklandiae Radix and Amomum Fructus were separated by cooling with liquid nitrogen. Those were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) to identify the components, and this method may be used to study biological activities at the cellular level. The substances separated under reduced pressure, essential oil obtained by simultaneous distillation extraction (SDE) method and substances by using solid phase micro-extraction (SPME) from Cnidii Rhizoma, Aucklandiae Radix and Amomum Fructus were analyzed by GC-MS. In the case of Cnidii Rhizoma and Aucklandiae Radix, there were some differences among the essential oil components obtained by SDE and those identified by low temperature capture (CT) and SPME method, these were believed to be produced by some volatiles reacting with water or oxygen at the boiling point temperature of water.

CFC-113 and 1,1,1-TCE which are ozone destruction substances are not used any more in the advanced countries because of Montreal protocol. MC and TCE are now used restrictively at small part of industrial fields in most of countries since they are known to be hazardous or carcinogenic materials. Thus, it is indispensible that the alternative cleaning agents which are environmental-friendly and safe, and show good cleaning ability should be developed or utilized for replacement of the halogenated cleaning agents. Aqueous cleaning agents are evaluated to be promising alternative ones among various alternatives in environmental and economical view point. This study has been carried out as a part of development program of aqueous cleaning agent. First of all, several types of surfactants which are the most important component in aqueous cleaning agents were chosen, and the physical properties, foaming ability, cleaning ability and oil-water separation efficiency of their aqueous solutions were measured and compared for selection of proper type of surfactant in aqueous cleaning agents.

In this study, the production of proper emulsion fuel and the evaluation of its rheological stability in various experimental conditions were carried out. The W/O (water-in-oil) emulsion fuel was made using n-decane, pure water, and Span 80 was used as a surfactant. Increments of water volume ratio and fuel temperature were the factors, which boosted the phase separation of the emulsion fuel. Rheological characteristics for different water/oil volume ratio, temperature, and elapsed time after the fuel production were examined. As the water volume ratio in the fuel increased, the behavior of non-Newtonian fluid was observed. Viscosity declined as the fuel temperature increased due to the cohesion of water droplets in the fuel. The effect of elapsed time on viscosity was not severe for lower water ratio. However, gradual decrease of viscosity 3 hours after fuel production, in the case of ratio of 3:7, was clearly observed.

Fuel oil mostly used for a ship is made from crude oil by refining process. In order to produce plenty of high-quality fuel oil, the Fluid catalytic cracking(FCC) method is widely adopted to many refinery factories during the decomposition process from high molecule into lower molecule. The major constituents in spent FCC catalysts are Si, Al, Fe, Ti, alkali metals and some others. The spent catalyst is also composed small amounts of rare metals such as Ce, Nd, Ni and V. The big problem in FCC oil is mixing the catalyst in the oil. This reason is unstable separation of FCC catalyst in separator. Such a FCC catalyst will become a reason of heavy wear down in moving parts of engine. The impurity in oil is ash and deposit compound, such as Al, Si, Ni, Fe and V, which will accelerate the wear down on fuel pump, fuel injection valve cylinder liner and piston ring. It is important to find a basic reason of an engine trouble for preventing similar troubles anymore. Insurance compensation will be different according to the reason of an engine trouble which might be natural abrasion or other external causes. In this study, types and reasons of engine troubles related to fuel oil will be covered.

Despite a wide range of fatty acids in fish oil, its the usage are very limited owing to off-flavors and volatile compounds in the oil. A way to extract and remove volatile compounds was performed at a semi-flow extractor by using supercritical carbon dioxide $(SC-CO_2)$. Samples of the oil were treated at the conditions which ranged from $30\;to\;80^{\circ}C$ and from 80 to 200 bar with 10 mL/min flow rate of carbon dioxide. In the oil the volatile compounds were analyzed by gas chromatography. Before extraction with $SC-CO_2$ the oil sample was detected over 129 peaks but 99 compounds were identified. The results demonstrated that at $40^{\circ}C$ and 200 bar extraction condition the volatile compounds in the tuna fish oil were removed, except for 14 compounds identified after extraction and other $SC-CO_2$ extraction conditions reached to high reduction of the volatile compounds.

In order to investigate structural changes of the pyrolysis fuel oil (PFO), the volatile matters and heavy oil fractions were separated from PFO by heat treatment temperature. As a result of $^1H-NMR$ analysis of volatile matters, 1~2 ring aromatic compounds contained in the petroleum residue were mostly removed at a temperature before $340^{\circ}C$. Moreover, new peaks corresponding to aliphatic hydrocarbons were detected at the chemical shift of 2.0~2.4 ppm. It is attributed that the aliphatic hydrocarbon sidechain was cracked from the aromatic compound by the cracking reaction occurred at $320^{\circ}C$. The C/H mole ratio and aromaticity increased with increasing the heat treatment temperature. Therefore, from the structural analysis results of heavy oil fractions and volatile matters from PFO, the decomposition of the aliphatic sidechain by cracking reaction and the separation of volatile matters by boiling point of components were mostly affected structure changes of the PFO.

Emulsion Liquid Membrane (ELM) is a prominent technique for the separation of heavy metal ions from wastewater due to the fast extraction and is a single-stage operation of stripping-extraction. The selection of the components (Surfactant and Carrier) of ELM is a very significant step for its preparation. In the ELM technique, the primary water- in-oil (W/O) emulsion is emulsified in water to produce water-in-oil-in-water (W/O/W) emulsion. The water in oil emulsion was prepared by mixing the membrane phase and internal phase. To prepare the membrane phase, the extractant D2EHPA (di-2-ethylhexylphosphoric acid) was used as a mobile carrier, Span-80 as a surfactant, and Paraffin as a diluent. Moreover, the internal (receiving) phase was prepared by dissolving sulphuric acid in water. Di-(2- ethylhexyl) phosphoric acid such as surfactant concentration, carrier concentration, sulphuric acid concentration in the receiving (internal) phase, agitation time (emulsion phase and feed phase), the volume ratio of the membrane phase to the receiving phase, the volume ratio of the external feed phase to the primary water-in-oil emulsion and pH of feed were studied on the percentage extraction of metal ions at 20℃. The results show that it is possible to remove 78% for As(V), 98% for Cd(II), and 99% for Pb(II).

A simple method has been successfully applied to extract squalene and its byproducts alkoxyglycerol from deep-sea shark liver oil. GC-MS was used to determine the extraction amount of the squalene and alkoxyglycerol, and the content of them in rough product and refined product were compared. The physical property of squalene was identified by measuring the pH value, peroxide value and iodine value. Under optimum extraction conditions, the amount of squalene and alkoxyglycerol increased 35.0% and 21.9%, respectively, while the amount of fatty acid decreased from 61% to 4%, especially, the amount of palmitic acid and oleic acid remarkably decreased. Large amount of peroxide and acid were removed from shark liver oil after refining process. Because squalene contains lots of double bond, so the value of iodine is much higher than squalane.

We carried out separation and guantitation of flavor components by GC about essential oils extracted from deodorized corn oil at the different deodorizing temperature. Flavor components were detected total 16 kinds included aldehydes of 8 kinds, major components were propane, pentane, hexanal etc. These major components content was about 70~75% of the total flavor components. According to rise of deodorizing temperature, both ethane and aldehydes of 8 kinds content were in proportion to increase, but propane, pentane, hexane, octan, pentyl furan content were decreased by contraries, respectively. On the other hand, total flavor component content was appeared the lowest level at 245$^{\circ}C$ treating group, aldehydes content was in proportion to increase according to rise of deodorizing temperature. These phenomenons consider that the undesirable reactions such as partial auto-oxidation, degradation, polymerization and hydrolysis etc. by effecting factors of stripping steam and vacuum degree. Conclusively, deodorizing temperature under high temperature was undesirable for the minimization of off-flavor materials.
