음식물 쓰레기로 만든 퇴비 중의 염분함량을 1% 이하로 조절하기 위해 지금까지 여러 가지 방법이 개발되었다. 그러나 이런 방법들은 침출수 과다로 인한 환경오염 또는 높은 설치비 등의 문제를 가지고 있어 실용화에 어려움이 있다. 염분이 충분히 제거되지 않은 음식물 쓰레기로 만든 퇴비를 농지에 사용할 경우 염해로 인한 식물의 성장 장애 및 염류축적이 일어날 수 있다. 본 연구는 음식물 쓰레기 퇴비에 함유된 염분을 $KHSO_5$, $KHSO_4$, $K_2SO_4$로 구성된 삼중염을 이용하여 분해하는 방법이며 기존 화학적 처리방법과 달리 염분을 분해하여 칼륨비료의 원료인 KCl로 전환시켰다. 또한 음식물 쓰레기 퇴비화 발효설비에서 음식물 쓰레기 600톤에 삼중염을 적용해본 결과 발효시의 온도가 평균 $5^{\circ}C$가 상승되었다. 온도상승과 함께 전처리 공정 및 발효공정에서 현저한 악취저감 효과가 나타났으며 이는 삼중염으로 인한 염분함량 감소로 호기성균의 활성화 및 악취원인물질을 효과적으로 제거하기 때문이다.

퇴비화 시설은 공기량과 수분 조절만으로 운전되기 때문에 2개의 운전인자의 영향을 분석하기 위하여 수분을 첨가하는 경우와 첨가하지 않는 경우에 대하여 공기량을 변화시켜 모델링하였다. 또한 최적의 퇴비화 환경이 조성될지라도 발열량 및 분해속도에 따라 퇴비화 시설의 운전온도를 달리하여야 하므로, 고속분해 단계와 완속분해 단계의 운전온도를 변화시켜 모델링함으로써 퇴비화 공정에 대한 영향을 분석하였다. 한편 모델은 미국 Roger T. Haug Inc 에서 개발한 "The Library of Compost Engineering Software" 를 사용하였다. 결과적으로 적정 함수율의 퇴비화 시설 운전이 공기량 변화에 대하여 운전온도의 변화가 민감하며, 수분이 부족한 경우에 비하여 오히려 적은 공기량으로 높은 반응율을 달성하게 된다. 완속분해 단계의 효과적인 운전이 전 공정의 분해율을 높일 수 있으므로 완속분해 물질의 분해에 촛점을 맞추어 단계별 운전온도를 설정하여야 함을 알 수 있었다.

휴믹물질의 산화중합반응은 천연 효소나 금속산화물 촉매에 의해 유도될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 천연 효소인 horseradish peroxidase (HRP)에 의한 휴믹산의 특성 변화와 이러한 변화된 특성이 정밀여과 공정에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 정제된 Aldrich 휴믹산(PAHA)이 HRP 및 과산화수소 존재 하에 산화중합되어 보다 크고 복잡한 분자를 형성하였으며, 크기배제크로마토그래피(SEC, size exclusion chromatography, SEC)에서도 평균분자량의 증가가 관찰되었다. 또한, HRP 및 $H_2O_2$ 주입량이 증가함에 따라 PAHA의 분자량은 더욱 증가하였다. 휴믹물질의 화학적 안정성은 산화중합반응에 기인한 휴믹 분자 상호간의 공유결합이 촉진됨에 따라 향상되었으며, 형광 분광 및 적외선 분광 분석 결과, 산화중합반응에 의한 PAHA 분자 작용기의 변화도 확인되었다. 수처리 공정에 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위해, 정밀여과를 적용한 결과, 산화중합반응 산물은 높은 분자량으로 인해 그 제거효율이 크게 향상되었다. 이는 산화중합된 자연유기물이 정밀여과에 의해 제거될 수 있음을 증명하는 것이다.

In order to improve the electrochemical, mechanical and electrocatalytic characteristics, engineering plastic of polyether ether ketone (PEEK) as polymer matrix was sulfonated (SPEEK) and the organic-inorganic blend composite membranes has been prepared by loading heteropoly acids (HPAs), including tungstophosphoric acid (TPA), molybdophosphoric acid (MoPA), and tungstosilicic acid (TSiA). And then these were covalently cross-linked (CL-SPEEK/HPA) as the electrolyte and MEA of polymer electrolyte membrane electrolysis (PEME). As a result, the optimum reaction conditions of CL-SPEEK/HPA was established and the electrochemical characteristics such as ion conductivity ($\sigma$) were in the order of magnitude: CL-SPEEK /TPA30 (${\sigma}=0.128\;S/cm^{-1}$) < /MoPA40 (${\sigma}=0.14\;S/cm^{-1})$ < /TSiA30 (${\sigma}=0.22\;S/cm^{-1}$) at $80^{\circ}C$, and mechanical characteristics such as tensile strength: CL-SPEEK /TSiA30 $\fallingdotseq$ /MoPA40 < /TPA30. Consequently, in regards of above characterisitics and oxidation durability, the CL-SPEEK/TPA30 exhibited a better performance in PEME than the others, but CL-SPEEK/MoPA40 showed the best electrocatalytic activity of cell voltage 1.71 V among the composite membranes. The dual effect of higher proton conductivity and electrocatalytic activity with the addition of HPAs, causes a synergy effect.

광촉매 기반의 수처리 공정에서 TiO₂ 나노입자와 기공형 고분자로 구성된 복합체 멤브레인은 광촉매 반응후 나노입자를 회수하기 용이하다는 장점과 멤브레인 파울링(fouling) 억제가 가능하다는 측면에서 다양하게 연구되어 왔다. 하지만, TiO₂ 나노입자가 복합체 멤브레인에 고착된 이후 나노입자의 광촉매 특성이 어떻게 변할지에 대한 연구는 상대적으로 많이 진행되지 않았다. 이러한 측면에서, 본 연구에서는 polyethersulfone (PES)/TiO₂ 복합체 멤브레인을 제조하고 유기염료분해 반응에 대한 광촉매 특성을 연구하였다. 복합체 멤브레인에 고착된 TiO₂ 나노입자의 염료분해반응 속도를 콜로이드 상에서 분산된 TiO₂ 나노입자와 비교함으로써 멤브레인에 고착화되기 전후의 TiO₂ 나노입자의 촉매 효율을 비교하였다.

We manufactured PVA-derived hydrogels using a foam generation technique that has been widely used to prepare colloidal gas aphrons(CGA). These gels were differentiated to the conventional gels such as for medical or pharmaceutical applications, which have tiny pores and some crystalline structure. Rather these should be used in de-pollution devices or adhesion of cells or biomolecules. The crosslinkers used in this work were amino acid, organic acid, sugars and lipids(vitamins). The structures of the gels were observed in a scanned electron microscope. Amino acids gels showed remarkably higher swelling ratios probably because their typical functional groups help constructing a highly crosslinked network along with hydrogen bonds. Boric acid and starch would catalyze dehydration while structuring to result in much lower water content and accordingly high gel content, leading to less elastic, hard gels. Bulky materials such as ascorbic acid or starch produced, in general, large pores in the matrices and also nicotinamide, having large hydrophobic patches was likely to enlarge pore size of its gels as well since the hydrophobicity would expel water molecules, thus leading to reduced swelling. Hydrophilicity(or hydrophobicity), functional groups which are involved in the reaction or physical linkage, and bulkiness of crosslinkers were found to be more critical to gel's cross linking structure and its density than molecular weights that seemed to be closely related to pore sizes. Microscopic observation revealed that pores were more or less homogeneous and their average sizes were $20{\mu}m$ for methionine, $10-15{\mu}m$ for citric acid, $50-70{\mu}m$ for L-ascorbic acid, $30-40{\mu}m$ for nicotinamide, and $70-80{\mu}m$ for starch. Also a sensory test showed that amino acid and glucose gels were more elastic meanwhile acid and nicotinamide gels turned out to be brittle or non-elastic at their high concentrations. The elasticity of a gel was reasonably correlated with its water content or swelling ratio. In addition, the PVA gel including 20% ascorbic acid showed fair ability of cell adherence as 0.257mg/g-hydrogel and completely degraded phenanthrene(10 mM) in 240 h.

태양에너지의 한 저장방법으로 녹색식물의 광합성을 모방한 계, 마이크로 에멀젼(microemulsion)을 고안하였으며, 이때 광에 의해서 유발된 전자가 계면을 통하는 능력을 측정하였다. 광증감제로 류테니늄비피리딘 착물$[Ru(bipy)_3]^{2+}$을 사용, 전자공여체 EDTA와 함께 물층에, 전자수용체 $HV^{2+}$(Hexadecyl violagan)이 계면에 각각 존재할 때 광에 의한 전자전이에 따르는 $HV^+$ 형성수득률은 0.12이였다. 또 계면에 $BNA^+$(Benzyl nicotinamide)를 넣고 유층에 아조(azo) 화합물을 넣었을 때는 azobenzene이 환원되었는데, 이때 양자수득률이 줄었다. (${\Phi}$ = 0.0016) 양이온 마이크로 에멀젼과 음이온 마이크로에멀젼의 광유발 전자전이 능력을 비교하였다. 광증감제로 유기염료인 로즈벤갈(Rose bengal)을 시험하였는데, 류테니늄착물보다 낮지 않았지만 광유발 전자가 계면에 전이되는 것을 알았다.

Natural gamma-decalactone (GDL) produced by biotransformation is an essential food additive with a peach-like aroma. However, the difficulty of effectively controlling the concentration of the substrate ricinoleic acid (RA) in water limits the biotransformation productivity, which is a bottleneck for industrialization. In this study, expanded vermiculite (E-V) was utilized as a carrier of RA to increase its distribution in the medium. E-V and three commonly used organic compounds were compared with respect to their effects on the biotransformation process, and the mechanism was revealed. Scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis indicated that RA was physically adsorbed onto the surface of and inside E-V instead of undergoing a chemical reaction, which increased the opportunity for interactions between microorganisms and the substrate. The highest concentration of GDL obtained in the medium with E-V was 6.2 g/l, which was 50% higher than that in the reference sample. In addition, the presence of E-V had no negative effect on the viability of the microorganisms. This study provides a new method for producing natural GDL through biotransformation on an industrial scale.

The Keum river is one of the important river in Korea and has a drainage area of 9,873$\textrm{km}^2$. The Keum river is deepening pollution state due to development of the lower city and construction of a industrial complex. The water quality of the Keum river come to eutrophication state and belong to III grade of water quality standard. The concentration BOD in river is affected by the organic loading from a tributary and the algae biomass that largely happen to under eutrophication state. In the eutrophic water mass such as the Keum river, the autochthonous BOD was very important part for making a decision of water quality management, because it was accounted for majority of the total BOD. The purpose of this study was to survey the chatacteristics of water quality in summer and to estimate reaction coefficient. Also, we studied to correlationship between chlorophyll a and BOD(COD) for estimation of the autochthonous BOD. The correlationship between chlorophyll a and BOD(COD) were obtained through the culture experiment of phytoplankton in the laboratory. The results of this study may be summarized as follows ; The characteristics of water quality in summer were belong to III~IV grade of water quality standard as BOD and nutritive condition is very high. The BOD, ammonia nitrogen and phosphate loadings in Miho stream which inflowing untreated sewage from Chungju city was occupied with 64.07%, 26.36%, 46.08%, respectively. Maximum nutrient uptake (Vmax) was 0.4400$\mu$M/hr as substrate of ammonia nitrogen, 0.1652$\mu$M/hr as substrate of phosphate. Maximum specific growth rate ($\mu$max) was 1.2525$hr^{-1}$ as substrate of ammonia nitrogen, 1.5177$hr^{-1}$ as substrate of phosphate. The correlation coefficient between chlorophyll a and BOD by the culture experiment were found to be 0.911~0.935 and 0.942~0.947 in the case adding nutrient and no adding nutrient, respectively. The correlation coefficient between chlorophyll a and COD through the culture experiment were found to be 0.918~0.977 and 0.880~0.931 in the case adding nutrient and no adding nutrient, respectively. The autochthonous BOD(COD) was estimated to the relationship between BOD(COD) and chlorophyll a. The regression equation were found to be autochthonous BOD=(0.045~0.073)${\times}chlorophyll$ a and autochthonous $COD=(0.137~0.182){\times}chlorophyll$ a.

Carbon dioxide emissions involved in global warming are one of the most important issues in the world, and carbon dioxide emissions from the cement industry are about 7% of total carbon dioxide emissions. Thus, reduction in the amount of utilized cement can contribute to a reduction of carbon dioxide emissions. The average life of concrete is 20 ~ 30 years, and if concrete life can be improved by ten years, cement use will be much lower. In this study, we examined the use and effect of fructan from microbes as a method for the densification of the pore structure of cement. The effect of fructan on the hydration reaction and pore distribution, as well as the water absorption of hardened cement mortar were studied. Pores distribution increased in mesopore OPC, and absorption rate was found to decrease with the use of fructan, which has a glue-like and swelling character.
