Methanol and formaldehyde were produced directly by the partial oxidation of methane over mixed oxide catalysts. The catalysts were composed of Mo and Bi with late-transition metals, such as Mn, Fe, and Co. The reaction was carried out at $450^{\circ}C$, 50 bar in a fixed-bed differential reactor. The prepared catalysts were characterized by $O_2-TPD$ and BET apparatus. Among the catalysts used, the catalyst composed of 1:1:2.5 molar ratio of Mo:Bi:Mn showed the best methane conversion and methanol selectivity. The change in ratio of methane to oxygen affected at the conversion and selectivity, and the most proper ratio was 10:1.5. Methane conversion, methanol and formaldehyde selectivities increased with the surface areas of the catalysts. From the $O_2-TPD$ result, it was found that the oxygen species responsible for this reaction might be the lattice oxygen species desorbed at high temperature around $800^{\circ}C$.

This paper presents a passive air-breathing direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) which has been designed and tested. The single cell is fuelled by methanol vapor that is supplied through flow channel from a methanol reservoir at the anode, and the oxygen is supplied via natural air-breathing at the cathode. The methods for supplying the methanol vapor to the single cell were parallel channel and chamber. This research investigates various methods to identify the effects of using flow channels for providing the methanol vapor at the anode, and the opening ratio between the inlet and outlet ports for the methanol flow at the anode. The best flow channel condition for passive DMFC was a chamber, and the opening ratio was 0.8. Under these conditions, the peak power was 10.2mW/$cm^2$ at room temperature and ambient pressure. The key issues for the Passive DMFCs for using methanol vapor are that sufficient methanol needs to be supplied using a large as possible opening ratio. However, it is shown that the performance of the passive DMFC, which has a channel at the anode,is low due to the low differential pressure and insufficient methanol supply rate.

A simple control strategy of DO-stat was introduced to the recombinant rGuamerin production process in Pichia pastoris. This induction strategy consisted of two interrelated control loops ‘by which oxygen ratio of inlet gas and methanol feeding rate was controlled. Using this control strategy, over-feeding or under-feeding of methanol could be avoided in concomitance with the efficient control of dissolved oxygen level. As a result, the cell concentration reached 130 g/L and rGuamerin expression level was 450 iu/L, which was more than 40% increased result comparing with the fed-batch process using manual control of methanol feeding rate.

The main purpose of this study is to provide basic information of droplet burning, extinction process and flame behavior of methanol fuel and improve the ability of theoretical prediction of these phenomena. For the improved understanding of these phenomena, this paper presents the experimental results on the methanol droplet combustion conducted under various initial droplet diameters ($d_0$), ambient pressure ($P_{amb}$), and oxygen concentration ($O_2$) conditions. To achieve this, the experimental study was conducted in terms of burning rate (K) with normalized droplet diameter ($d/d_0$), flame diameter ($d_f$) and flame standoff ratio (FSR) under the assumptions that the droplet combustion can be described by both the quasi-steady behavior for the region between the droplet surface and the flame interface and the transient behavior for the region between the flame interface and ambient surrounding.

본 연구에서는 에탄 자화균인 Methylosinus trichosporim OB3b를 이용하여 메탄으로부터 에탄올 생성에 관한 실험을 수행하였다. 에탄으로부터 에탄올을 생성하기 위해서는 메탄 산화과정 중 두번 째 효소인 methanol dehydrogenase 효소의 활성을 부분 저해해야 하므로 이를 위해 EDTA를 사용한 결과 EDTA가 methanol dehydrogenase의 저해제 임을 확인하였고 배지에 6mM EDTA를 첨가하였을 때 전혀 첨가하지 않았을 때와 비교하여 메탄올 생 성이 약 5배 정도 증가되어 lOmmole/L의 에탄율을 얻을 수 있었다. 또한 Cu의 존재유무가 에단올 생성 에 미치는 영향을 실험한 결과 ImM Cu 존재시 $5\mu\textrm{M}$ Cu 존재하에 비해 메탄올 생성이 약 2.5배 증가되어 약 11mmole/L의 메탄올을 얻을 수 있었는데 이는 Cu 존재가 입자상(particulate) MMO의 생성을 촉 진시키며 생성된 이 세포 단위중량당 MMO 활성이 높은 pMMO가 에탄으로부터 에탄올의 생성을 촉진 시키는 것으로 생각된다. 그리고 온도가 에탄올 생 성에 미치는 영향을 실험한 결과 온도가 3TC에서 $30^{\circ}C , 25^{\circ}C$ 로 낮아점에 따라 생성 메단올 농도가 증 가하여 15.5mmole/L에 이르렀고 메탄 소비속도도 증가됨을 알 수 있였다. 또한 메단과 산소의 구생성 분비가 에탄올 생성에 미치는 영향을 실험한 결과 산소대비 에탄 농도가 증가할수록 생성 에탄올의 농 도 및 세포농도가 증가됨을 알 수 였다. 그리하여 50% 메탄, 50% 산소 존재하에 비해 70% 에탄, 30% 산소 경우에는 약 50% 증가된 15.3 mmole/L 농도의 머l단올을 얻을 수가 있였으며 세포농도도 많이 증가됨을 알 수 있다.

This paper is the first of several companion papers which compare the methods of Air-fuel ratio determination. There are many methods which calculate Air-Fuel ratio from exhaust emission. Most of them are based on the simple chemical equations, which use balance of atom, and the error of the calculation is negligible as far as the instrumentation accuracy is guaranteed. They assume homogeneous mixture and complete combustion to the extent of oxygen availability. Because of these simple assumptions, they cannot offer the information about the fuel distribution state and the malfunction of instrument. For these limitations, Eltinge offered new one based on stricter mathematical model. This result coincides with the others very well and gives more information about the mixture state and instrumentation. Consequently this might be a general solution for Air-fuel ratio determination and exhaust composition. The objects of the calculation, however, were not commercial fuels except gasoline and the compensation method of unburned hydrocarbon was not appropriate to recent analyzer. Moreover he did not consider the fuel which contains oxygen, such as methanol, ethanol and blend of gasoline-alcohol. In this paper, Eltinge chart is expanded to the arbitrary fuel composition as the reference exhaust compositions for the purpose of further discussions about Air-fuel ratio determination methods and the charts fur gasoline, diesel, methanol, M85, liquefied petroleum gas(LPG), natural gas(NG), propane, butane are illustrated.

Methylomonas mucosa를 이용하여 세포외 다당류의 생산을 알아보았다. 본 미생물은 성장을 위해 메탄올을 탄소원으로 이용하여 세포외 다당류를 생산한다. 효과적인 발효 공정 시스템의 개발올 위해 회 분식, 유가식, 연속식 배양을 수행하여 각각의 당류 에 대한 생산성을 알아보았다. 플라스크 배양에서 메탄올이 약 1 % (v/v) 이상에서 다당류의 생산과 세포의 성장은 저해되었다. 1% (v/v)에서 최대 비성장속도를 나타내었고 C/N 비율이 높을수록 다당류의 생산은 많았다. 다당류의 생산에 $Mg^{2+}$ 이온 농도가 크게 영향을 줌을 확인할 수있었다. 유가식 배양에서는 다당류의 농도가 회분식에 비 해 4배 이상 높았으나 수율은 오히려 감소하였다. 연속주입을 통한 유가식 배양은 간헐적 주업방법보다 생산성이 높았다. 이는 간헐적 주입에서 나타날 수 있는 메탄올에 의한 제한이나 저해가 없었기 때 문으로 보여진다. 연속조엽은 산소 제한을 피하기 위해 순수산소를 공급하였다. 희석률이 O.21h-1까지 증가하여도 수융 과 생산성은 증가하였다. 생산된 다당류 용액의 점도는 다당류의 증가에 따라 지수적으로 증가하였다.

본 연구에서 탈질 효율 비교를 위해 당밀과 메탄올을 외부 탄소원으로 사용하였다. 세부 실험조건은 C/N ratio 조건에 따라 구분하였다. 회분식 실험 결과, 당밀과 메탄올 모두 C/N ratio가 증가할수록 탈질 효율은 증가하였다. 당밀의 최적 C/N ratio는 잔류 COD 농도와 탈질 효율을 고려할 때 4:1로 나타났으며, 이때 탈질 효율은 91.4%이다. 동역학적 인자로 SDNR을 도출한 결과, C/N ratio가 증가할수록 당밀과 메탄올은 유사한 SDNR 값을 보였으며, C/N ratio 4:1 조건에서 0.0292 g $NO_3{^-}-N$ removal/g MLVSS/day (molasse), 0.0299 g $NO_3{^-}-N$ removal/g MLVSS/day (mehtanol)로 나타났다. 미생물 군집 분석을 통해 당밀에 적응된 슬러지에는 Pseudomonas sp.와 Bergeylla sp. 박테리아가 우점화 된 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 미생물 군집의 다양성보다는 일부 박테리아에 대한 집중성이 더 높게 나타났다. 이에 따라 당밀은 탈질에 특화된 미생물을 집중적으로 성장시키며, 탈질 성능을 높일 수 있는 대체 외부탄소원으로 적용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

Interruption of blood flow through coronary arteries and its subsequent restoration triggers the generation of a burst of reactive oxygen species (ROS), leading to myocardial cell death. In this study, we determined whether a methanol extract of Cassia mimosoides var. nomame Makino could prevent myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury. When radical scavenging activity of the extract was measured in vitro using its ${\alpha}$,${\alpha}$-diphenyl-${\beta}$-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical quenching ability, the extract showed an activity slightly lower than that of ascorbic acid. Three days after oral administration of the extract (400 mg/kg/day) to rats, myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury was generated by 30 min of ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD), followed by 3 hr reperfusion. Compared with the vehicle-treated group, administration of the extract significantly reduced infarct size (IS) (ratio of infarct area to area at risk) in the extract-treated group by 28.3%. Reduction in the cellular injury was mediated by attenuation of Bax/Bcl-2 ratio by 33.3%, inhibition of caspase-3 activation from procaspase-3 by 40%, and subsequent reduction in the number of apoptotic cells by 66.3%. These results suggest that the extract attenuates myocardial injury in a rat model of ischemia-reperfusion by scavenging ROS, including free radicals, and consequently blocking apoptotic cascades. Therefore, intake of Cassia mimosoides var. nomame Makino might be beneficial for preventing ischemic myocardial injury.

This paper is the second part of several companion papers which compare the method of Air-fuel ratio(AFR) determination. In the previous paper, Eltinge chart was applied to the arbitrary fuel composition and the charts for gasoline, diesel, methanol, M85, liquefied petroleum gas(LPG), natural gas(NG), propane and butane were illustrated. In Eltinge chart, however, unburned hydrocarbon (UHC) is not used for determination of AFR. For improving accuracy, Eltinge suggested UHC compensation after the AFR reading in the chart. This compensation reduced the difference between real and reading value. In the compensation, however, the correction of oxygen and carbon dioxide is uncertain and there might be a mistake in conversion of UHC reading value. Therefore, the error is overestimated comparing with Spindt one which is most widely used. In addition, there is no comparison of the value with other useful methods. In this paper, the compensation of unburned HC was performed in Eltinge chart and the compensated value was compared with Spindts formula over wide range of AFR. The objects of investigating fuel are gasoline, methanol, NG and LPG. The result shows that Eltinge and Spindt method is flawlessly compatible and the difference between the two methods is under 0.3% in a λrange from 0.9 to 1.7. The method fur debugging instrumentation error is also presented.
