단세포 단백질의 합성이나 환성오니법에 의한 폐수처리 등에 응용되고 있는 Air-lift Fermentor (ALF)는 일반적인 기계식 교반 발효조에 비하여 산소전달 효과가 우수한 것으로 알려져 있다. 그러나 미생물의 성장반응에는 적절한 교반이 필요하므로 발효조 내에서는 높은 산소 농도와 함께 활발한 교반이 이루어져야 한다. 본 연구에서는 ALF 내에서의 산소전달에만 국한해오던 연구 방향에서 실제로 Methylomonas, sp를 이용한 methanol fermentation을 행하여 이 발효조의 기능을 조사하였다. 그 결과 교반은 활발히 일어나고 있으나 높은 농도의 산소를 얻기 위해서는 높은 압력하에서나 낮은 dilution rate에서 운전하여야 하는 것으로 나타났다.

Biofilm formation is inevitable in a bioelectrochemical system in which microorganisms act as a sole biocatalyst. Cathodic biofilm (CBF) works as a double-edged sword in the performance of the air-cathode microbial fuel cells (MFCs). Proton and oxygen crossover through the CBF are limited by the robust structure of extracellular polymeric substances, composition of available constituents and environmental condition from which the biofilm is formed. The MFC performance in terms of power, current and coulombic efficiency is influenced by the nature and origin of CBF. Development of CBF from different ecological environment while keeping the same anode inoculums, contributes additional charge transfer resistance to the total internal resistance, with increase in coulombic efficiency at the expense of power reduction. This study demonstrates that MFC operation conditions need to be optimized on the choice of initial inoculum medium that leads to the biofilm formation on the air cathode.

본 연구에서는 대형 콘 칼로리미터(large scale cone calorimeter, LSC)를 사용하여 헵탄 풀 화재(pool fire) 실험에서 화원의 직경 변화에 따른 발열량(HRR) 측정 결과를 정량적으로 분석하였다. 발열량에 중요한 영향을 미치는 연소율(burning rate)은 A. Hamins의 연구 자료에서 제시한 모델링 곡선과 비교하여 정확성을 검증하였으며, 산소 소모법에 의한 연소효율(combustion efficiency)은 이론발열량에 비해서 91% 정도로 J. Gore이 제시한 헵탄의 연소효율 92%와 유사한 것을 확인하였다. 엔탈피소모법에 의한 열손실은 전체 발열량의 54% 정도로 측정부에서 대류 발열량으로 측정되었으며, 본 연구 결과는 화재실험에서 발열량 측정값의 신뢰성 분석(reliability analysis)을 위한 기초 연구 자료로 활용하는데 유용한 정보가 될 것으로 사료된다.

This study aims to devise and analyze a power generation system combining the solid oxide fuel cell and oxy-fuel combustion technology. The fuel cell operates at an elevated pressure, a constituting a SOFC/gas turbine hybrid system. Oxygen is extracted from the high pressure cathode exit gas using ion transport membrane technology and supplied to the oxy-fuel power system. The entire system generates much more power than the fuel cell only system due to increased fuel cell voltage and power addition from oxy-fuel system. More than one third of the power comes out of the oxy-fuel system. The system efficiency is also higher than that of the fuel cell only system. Recovering most of the generated carbon dioxide is major advantage of the system.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of pressure and dissolved oxygen concentration on the activated slut비e and to determine the optimum depth of deep shaft process. Some results from this study were summarized as follows. 1. It is considered that low sludge product in the activated sludge system maintaining high dissolved oxygen concentration is attributed to the increase of endogeneous respiration rate caused by the increase of aerobic zone in the sludge floe. 2. The increase of dissolved oxygen concentration does not affect to the increase of organic removal efficiency greatly and therefore the limiting factor is the substrate transfer into the inner part of floe. 3. The yield coefficient, Y is decreased in proportion to the increase of oxygen concentration. In this study, Y values arre ranged from 0.70 to 0.41 according to the variation of dissolved oxygen concentration from 18.0mg/$\ell$ to 258 mg/$\ell$. 4. The optimum depth of deep shaft process should be determined within the limits of non-toxicity to the microorganism and it is about loom in this study.

본 연구에서는 보 월류시 공기 유입을 수리학적인 방법으로 분석하였다. 이를 위해 하천에 설치된 보의 형태로서 계단형 보와 래버린스 보 및 배사문 보를 선정하여 현지측정과 수리실험을 통해 산소전달 효율을 검토하였다. 산소전달 효율은 계단형 보가 크며, 배사문 보는 산소전달 효율이 그리 크지 않았다. 산소전달은 흐름의 유속, Froude 수, 유량 순으로 상관 관계를 나타내었으며 특히 흐름의 유녹과 산소전달 효율에서 높은 관계를 나타내었다. 수리실험 결과 계단형 보의 월류 흐름은 유량이 작을 경우 계단 전 구간에 걸쳐 잠입류가 발생하고, 유량 증가에 따라 잠입류와 표면류가 공존하며 이 경우 계단 상부께서 표면류 및 계단 하부에서 잠입류가 발생하였다. 잠입류의 경우 계단 끝단에서 흐름 분리에 의해 공기 유입이 시작되고, 자유낙하 nappe과 계단 안쪽의 공기 주머니 및 nappe impact와 이후의 도수 현상으로 많은 공기 유입이 발생되었다. 표면류의 경우 계단 끝단에서 공기 유입이 시작되고, 흐름이 계단과 계단을 스쳐가듯이 흐르는 과정에서 수표면의 진동에 의해 많은 공기가 유입되었지만 공기 유입은 잠입류의 경우에 비해 상대적으로 작았다.

Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C₃N₄) has attracted considerable attention since its discovery for its catalysis of water splitting to hydrogen and oxygen under visible light irradiation. However, pristine g-C₃N₄ confers only low photocatalytic efficiency and requires surface cocatalysts to reach moderate activity due to a lack of accessible surface active sites. Inspired by the high specific surface area and superior electron transfer of graphene, we developed a strongly coupled binary structure of graphene and g-C₃N₄ aerogel with 3D porous skeleton. The as-prepared 3D structure photocatalysts achieve a high surface area that favors efficient photogenerated charge separation and transfer, enhances the light-harvesting efficiency, and significantly improves the photocatalytic hydrogen evolution rate as well. The photocatalyst performance is observed to be optimized at the ratio 3:7 (g-C₃N₄:GO), leading to photocatalytic H₂ evolution of 16125.1 mmol. g^-1. h^-1 under visible light irradiation, more than 161 times higher than the rate achieved by bulk g-C₃N₄.

To develop coal gasfication system, many studies have been actively conducted to describe the simulation of steady state. Now, it is necessary to study the gasification system not only in steady state but also in dynamic state to elucidate abnormal condition such as start-up, shut-down, disturbance, and develop control logic. In this study, a model was proposed with process simulation in dynamic state being conducted using a chemical process simulation tool, where a heat and mass transfer model in the gasifier is incorporated, The proposed model was verified by comparison of the results of the simulation with those available from NETL (National Energy Technology Laboratory) report under steady state condition. The simulation results were that the coal gas efficiency was 80.7%, gas thermal efficiency was 95.4%, which indicated the error was under 1 %. Also, the compositions of syngas were similar to those of the NETL report. Controlled variables of the proposed model was verified by increasing oxygen flow rate to gasifier in order to validate the dynamic state of the system. As a result, trends of major process variables were resonable when oxygen flow rate increased by 5% from the steady state value. Coal flow rate to gasifier and quench gas flow rate were increased, and flow rate of liquid slag was also increased. The proposed model in this study is able to be used for the prediction of gasification of various coals and dynamic analysis of coal gasification.

The photosensitized lysis of egg lecithin lipid membranes (liposomes) have been performed to UV-B light (270-320 nm) by L-tryptophan(L-Trp) and its peptide such as N-acetylphenylalanyl-L-tryptophan(NAPT) incorporated in the liposomes(ca. 0.1% by weight) or in the external buffer (0.1-0.3 mM). Requirement of oxygenation suggests that the lysis of liposomes is caused by the photosensitized oxidation of lipids. There was significant protection against lysis photosensitized by Trp in the external buffer by low concentration of ferricyanide (0.8 mM), but there was no effect on the lytic efficiency by $N_3^-$ which is singlet oxygen($^1O_2$) quencher, indicative of an electron transfer mechanism involved in the photosensitization. The small change of the lytic efficiency with increasing pH from 4 to 9 was interpreted by large target theory and subsequently indicates that superoxide($O_2^-$) may be an active intermediate for the oxidation. The efficiency of photosensitization of Trp was higher than that of NAPT under the same experimental condition. The weak lytic efficiency of liposomes photosensitized by NAPT was enhanced by incorporating NAPT in liposomes, but it was again quenched by ${\beta}$-carotene incorporated in the bilayer of liposomes. These results indicate that a portion of liposome lysis may be due to $^1O_2$ formation from the excited NAPT.

The residence time distribution of liquid flow in a 4.0cm diameter column packed with porous $Al_2O_3$ spheres of 0.37cm diameter were measured with pulse injections of a tracer under cocurrent trickling flow conditions. The mean residence time of liquid flow and liquid hold-up calculated by the transient curve of tracer were unaffected by gas flow rates under experimental ranges of liquid flow rates from 2.4 to $4.5(kg/m^2\;sec)$ and gas flow rates from 0 to $0.13(kg/m^2\;sec)$. The axial dispersion coefficient of liquid stream and apparent diffusivity of tracer in a micropore of solid particle were estimated from the response curve of tracer. The calculated Peclet No. were increased in ranges of 68-to 82 with a increasing of liquid mass velocity, and the external effective contacting efficiency between liquid and solid which can be expressed. by $(D_i)_{app}/D_i$ varied in ranges of 0.54 to 0.68 depending on the liquid flow rates. The gas to liquid(water) volumetric mass transfer coefficient were determined from desorption experiments with oxygen at $25^{\circ}C$ and 1 atm. The measured mass transfer coefficients were increased with liquid flow rates and the effect of gas flow rates on the mass transfer coefficient was insignificant.
