A fully packed capillary electrochromatographic (CEC) microchip with an on-column micro-solid phase extraction (SPE) bed for the preconcentration and separation of organic analytes was prepared. A linear microchannel with monodisperse colloidal silica packing was formed on a cyclic olefinic copolymer microchip with two reservoirs on both ends. Silver-cemented silica packing frit structure was formed at the entrance of the microchannel by electroless plating treatment as a base layer. A gold coating was formed on it by reducing $Au^{3+}$ to gold with hydroxylamine. Finally micro-SPE bed was formed by self-assembly adsorption of 1-dodecanethiol on it. Micro-SPE beds were about 100-150 ${\mu}m$ long. Approximately $10^3$ fold sensitivity enhancements for Sulforhodamine B, and Fluorescein in nM concentration levels were possible with 80 s preconcentration. Basic extraction characteristics were studied.

In this experiment, an attempt to use the sludge pellets as catalyst for NO removal from simulated gas is experimentally investigated by using $BaTiO_3$-sludge packed-bed reactor of plate-plate geometry. An experimental investigation has been conducted for NO concentration of 50[ppm] balanced with air, a gas flow rate of 5[1/min]. $BaTiO_3$ pellets are filled at upstream of reactor for corona discharge and sludge pellets are put at downstream of reactor for catalystic effect. The volume rate of sludge pellets to $BaTiO_3$ pellets is 50[%] and AC voltage to dischare the gases was supplied. In the result, when sludge pellets is seperated to $BaTiO_3$ by other reactor and AC voltage is supplied to $BaTiO_3$ and sludge pellets NO, $NO_2$ removal rate is higher. When gas temperature increase from room temperature to 100[$^{\circ}C$], NO removal is decreased while $NO_2$ concentration is independent on gas temperature. This result suggest that the removal mechanism of active oxyzen species and $NO_2$ in sludge is not absorption, but chemical reaction. Temperature of heating treatment is on sludge pellets increased, $NO_x$ removal rate is decrease. It is thought that organic compound is removed by heating treatment.

Performances and internal behaviors of the upflow hybrid anaerobic filters treating a dairy wastewater were analyzed to identify the functions and roles of the modular crossflow media and sludge bed layer and to discover their interrelationship in the filter. The media could perform independent biological and physical separation role without buildup of sludge bed, while the role of sludge bed was dependent on the function of the media. The filter packed with the crossflow media did not necessarily require the formation of sludge bed when treating a dairy wastewater. Biological contribution of the media was controlled by that of biologically active sludge bed complementing mutually each other. The gas-liquid-solid separation capability of the media was indispensible to ensure the active biological role of sludge bed, since sludge bed buildup without the media had no independently effective biological function. It was believed that the filter in itself could also function as a selector for physical gas-liquid-solid separation resulting in selectively concentrating particles with superior settleability in sludge bed. The sludge bed in the filter played a key role in the physical solids capture from influent as well as biological organics removal.

In recent decades, biofiltration has been widely accepted for the treatment of contaminated air stream containing low concentration of odorous compounds or volatile organic compounds (VOCs). In this study, conventional biofilters packed with flexible synthetic polyurethane (PU) foam carriers were operated to remove toluene from a contaminated air stream. PU foams containing various amounts of pulverized activated carbon (PAC) were synthesized for the biofilter media and tested for toluene removal. Four biofilter columns were operated for 60 days to remove gaseous toluene from a contaminated air stream. During the biofiltration experiment, inlet toluene concentration was in the range of 0-150 ppm and EBRT (i.e., empty bed residence time) was kept at 26-42 seconds. Pressure drop of the biofilter bed was less than 3 mm $H_2O/m$ filter bed. The maximum removal capacity of toluene in the biofilters packed with PU-PAC foam was in the order of column II (PAC=7.08%) > column III (PAC=8.97%) > column I (PAC=4.95%) > column IV (PAC=13.52%), while the complete removal capacity was in the order of column II > column I > column III > column IV. The better biofiltration performance in column II was attributed to higher porosity providing favorable conditions for microbial growth. The results of biodegradation kinetic analysis showed that PU-PAC foam with 7.08% of PAC content had higher maximum removal rate ($V_m$=14.99 g toluene/kg dry material/day) than the other PU-PAC foams. In overall, the performance of biofiltration might be affected by the structure and physicochemical properties of PU foam induced by PAC content.

Endosulfan degrading ability of Klebsiella oxytoca KE-8 immobilized by entrapment with activated carbon was examined. Endosulfan degradation by the immobilized bacterial strains on several different activated carbon based support materials was investigated. Based on results, activated carbon ($8\times30$ mesh) was chosen as a support material. The immobilized Klebsiella oxytoca KE-8 with the cell density of 4 mg $g^{-1}$ (dry weight) degraded 22.18 ug $ml^{-1}$ endosulfan within 5 days at pH 7.0, $30^{\circ}C$ in batch shake flask cultures. Also, we an experimented recycle packed bed column mode and continuous packed bed column mode for endosulfan degradation. Under optimum operation condition, the immobilized cells in a laboratory scale pack bed column with support beads were able to degrade endosulfan completely in defined minimal salt medium at a maximum rate of 129.6 ug $ml^{-1}$ per day. Moreover, the endosulfan degradation activity could be demonstrated at $4^{\circ}C$ for one month without significant decrease in activity. Results of this study suggest that immobilized cells of Klebsiella oxytoca KE-8 might be applicable to endosulfan contaminated site.

고정층 칼럼에 충진물질로 게껍질(Protunus trituberculatus)과 활성탄(Norit 0.8 SUPRA)을 사용하였다. 10 g의 활성탄만을 충진물질로 사용했을 때는 380 층부피 (bed volume)의 10 mg/L 납 함유 폐수를 처리했을 때 파과 현상 (breakthrough)이 일어났지만, 1 g의 게껍질을 10 g의 활성탄 칼럼에 첨가했을 때는 1520 층부피에서 파과 현상이 일어났다. 게껍질의 첨가로 인해서 활성탄 칼럼의 납 제거능이 증가하였다. 이러한 급격한 효율의 증가는 납의 흡착에 유용한 $CO_3{^{2-}}$ 파 $OH^-$ 이온이 증가한 것 때문으로 사료되었다. 여러 가지 분석 결과에 의하면 납 제거의 주된 메카니즘은 게껍질 속의 $CaCO_3$가 용해된 후 납과 반응하여 $Pb_3(C0_3)_2(OH)_2$ 형태로 활성탄의 표면에서 침천물을 형성하는 것으로 사료되었다. 납의 제거능은 유입 폐수 중의 납 농도가 10 mg/L에서 50 mg/L로 증가될 때 2배 정도 증가하였으나 유입 폐수의 pH가 5.0에서 3.0으로 감소할 때 약 40% 정도 효율이 감소하였다.

The treatment of styrene vapor was carried out using the biofilter packed with loess/polyurethane composite during continuous operation of 74 days. The microorganisms were adapted within 2-3 days under the experimental conditions of inlet concentration and empty bed contact time (EBCT). At 200 sec of EBCT, the removal efficiency of styrene was 100\% with 200 ppmv of inlet concentration, while $92\%$ with 400 ppmv of inlet concentration. The biofilter showed the stable removal efficiencies of over $74\%$ under the EBCT range from 300 to 75 sec at the 150 ppmv of inlet styrene concentration. The maximum capacity of styrene removal for the biofilter packed with loess/polyurethane was $29g/m^3/hr$. During continuous operation of 74 days, pH of the drain water changed slightly and the pressure drop through the biofilter column was below $45\;mmH_2O/m$.

화재에 의한 흡입연기의 중장기 인체 유해성은 흡입연기가 폐에 침착되는 양과 밀접한 관련이 있다. 연기의 폐 내 침착량을 구하기 위해서는 인체 실험이 불가능한 만큼 폐모델을 이용한 실험이 필요하나 실제 폐형태에서 나타나는 연속적으로 감소되는 분지관의 제작상 어려움으로 인하여 하위 세대에서는 모델실험을 통한 침착 연구가 힘들다. 본 문제를 해결하기 위하여 이 연구에서는 아래로 갈수록 직경이 단계적으로 감소하는 구형 충전층을 이용한 폐모델을 개발하고 이를 폐침착 실험에 적용하였다. 실험장치는 각 입자크기별 호흡 패턴 변화에 따른 입자의 침착량을 측정하도록 구성되었으며 표준입자에 대한 실험 값을 실제 폐에 대한 결과와 비교함으로써 개발된 폐모델의 타당성을 검증하였다. 이 폐모델은 화재시 발생하는 여러 가지 연기입자의 흡입에 의한 인체 피해 연구에 도움이 될 것으로 생각된다.

충전형 저온 플라즈마 반응기 내에서의 가스 상 시안화합물의 분해특성을 반응기로 투입되는 방전 전력, 시안화합물의 유입농도, 운반기체인 공기의 습도 및 반응기 내의 충전물질 등을 변수로 연구하였다. 저온플라즈마 방전의 경우 시안화합물들의 분해는 트리클로로에틸렌에 비하여 상대적으로 매우 낮은 효율을 보였다. 그러나 플라즈마 방전 영역에 알루미나 또는 백금/알루미나 구슬을 충전한 경우 분해효율이 크게 높아졌으며 이는 플라즈마 반응과 더불어 백금/알루미나의 촉매작용에 의한 촉매 반응이 동시에 작용함에 기인한 것으로 판단된다.

The purpose of this paper is to obtain the basic data for design of pressure cooling system. Static pressure drop, as a function of superficial velocity, was measured for different stacking methods and stacking heights of some fruits and vegetables. At given superficial velocity, sphericity and void fraction had a much greater influence on static pressure drop than average diameter of spherical fruits such as apple, peach, tomato and kiwi fruit. Among cylindrical vegetables such as cucumber, carrot, radish and chinese cabbage, cucumber showed different pattern of static pressure drop because of its bended shape, radish showed less static pressure drop than other vegetables because its large sizes of voids. When cucumber and spinach were stacked vertically and horizontally to air flow, a much greater static pressure drop was shown in vertical than in horizontal type, therefore static pressure drop was affected not only by void fraction but also by void shape. Also, in packed-beds of fruits and vegetables, static pressure drop could be estimated very well by Ramsins equation.
