The objective of this study was to find the way to prolong the storage time of sawdust-based oyster mushroom (Pleurotus osteratus) spent substrate (OMSS) by fermenting with potential probiotic microorganisms to recycle the otherwise waste of mushroom farms. To this purpose, lactic acid bacteria (LAB) were screened to select the best lactic acid-producing strains. Three strains of LAB (Lactobacillus plantarum Lp1', Pediococcus acidilacticii Pa193, L. plantarum Lp2M) were selected and in mixture they lowered the pH of the fermented OMSS to 3.81. fOMSS (fermented sawdust-based oyster mushroom spent substrate) could be stored at room temperature for at least 17 days without any deterioration of feed quality based on the pH, smell, and color. In dry matter disappearance rate in situ, commercial TMR (total mixed ration), OMSS and OMMM (oyster mushroom mycelium mass) showed no significant differences between the samples after 6, 12 and 24 h incubation except for 48 h. Two separate field studies were performed to test the effects of fOMSS supplement on the growth performance of postweaning Holstein calves. Field trials included groups of animals feeding calf starter supplemented with: Control (no supplement), AB (colistin 0.08% and oxyneo 110/110 0.1%), fOMSS (10% fOMSS) and fConc (10% fermented concentrate) and DFM (direct-fed microbials, average $10^9$ cfu for each of three LAB/d/head). Growth performance (average daily gain and feed efficiency) of the fOMSS supplement group was higher than that of AB followed by fConc and DFM even though there was no statistically significant difference. The Control group was lower than any other group. Various hematological values including IgG, IgA, RBC (red blood cell), hemoglobin, and hematocrit were measured every 10 days to check any unusual abnormality for all groups in trial I and II, and they were within a normal and safe range. Our results suggest that sawdust-based OMSS could be recycled after fermentation with three probiotic LAB strains as a feed supplement for post-weaning calves, and fOMSS has the beneficial effects of an alternative to antibiotics for a growth enhancer in dairy calves.

In the present paper, a new type of DC arc plasma torch is disclosed. The principles of the new magnetic and fluid dynamic controlled large orifice long discharge tunnel plasma torch is discussed. Two series of DC Plasma Jet diamond film deposition equipment have been developed. The 20kW Jet equipped with a $\Phi$70 mm orifice torch is capable of deposition diamond films at a growth rate as high as 40$\mu\textrm{m}$/h over a substrate area of $\Phi$65 mm. The 100kW high power Jet which is newly developed based on the experience of the low power model is equipped with a $\Phi$120 mm orifice torch, and is capable of depositing diamond films over a substrate area of $\Phi$110 mm at growth rate as high as 40 $\mu\textrm{m}$/h, and can be operated at gas recycling mode, which allows 95% of the gases be recycled. It is demonstrated that the new type DC plasma torch can be easily scaled up to even higher power Jet. It is estimated that even by the 100kW Jet, the cost for tool grade diamond films can be as low as less than ＄4/carat.

Effects of operating parameters such as hydraulic retention time(HRT), recycle ratio and influent COD concentration on the performance of a continuous flow microbial fuel cell(MFC) were investigated. Decrease of HRT improved mass transfer of substrate to electrogenic microorganisms, therefore resulting in increased electrode voltage and power generation of MFC. Increase of HRT promoted COD removal by elongating retention time for COD removal in MFC. Recycling of effluent increased the COD removal and coulombic efficiencies by returning suspended microorganisms into MFC. Increase of influent COD enhanced COD removal due to the improved mass transfer of substrate. Decrease of coulombic efficiency by the increase of the HRT and influent COD concentration indicated that they enhanced the activities of fermentative bacteria.

본 연구는 해조류 첨가를 통한 음식물쓰레기의 소화효율 증대효과를 알아보기 위해 다양한 농도(2.5~10.0 g VS/L)와 혼합비율(FW:SW=100:0, 75:25, 50:50, 25:75, 0:100, VS 농도 기준)에서 회분식 실험을 수행하였다. 음식물쓰레기의 단일소화의 경우 농도가 증가함(2.5~10.0 g VS/L)에 따라 메탄전환율이 394, 377, 276, $49mL\;CH_4/g\;VS_{added}$로 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 음식물쓰레기에 해조류의 첨가 비율이 높아질수록 낮은 기질농도(2.5~5.0 g VS/L)에서는 메탄전환율이 감소하였으나(최대 15% 감소) 높은 기질농도(7.5~10.0 g VS/L)에서는 메탄전환율이 증가하였다(최대 240% 상승). 또한 음식물쓰레기와 해조류의 단일소화 시 발생된 메탄가스의 양을 기반으로 상승효과에 의한 메탄발생량을 계산한 결과, 2.5, 5.0 g VS/L에서는 상승효과가 없었고, 7.5, 10.0 g VS/L의 경우에는 해조류의 비율이 높아질수록 상승효과가 최대 25 % (= 상승효과에 의한 메탄발생량/혼합소화 시 실제 발생한 메탄발생량, 기질농도 10.0 g VS/L, 혼합비율 50:50)까지 상승하였다. 음식물쓰레기의 농도가 10.0 g VS/L로 높은 경우 단일소화 시(FW=SW=100:0) 유기산 축적량이 7,426 mg COD/L까지 증가하였고, 해조류를 첨가하면(FW:SW=50:50) 유기산 축적량이 2,346 mg COD/L로 감소하였다. 이는 비교적 생분해도가 낮은 해조류를 첨가함으로서 유기산 생산속도의 조절을 통해 유기산이 축적되는 것을 억제하여 상승효과가 발생한 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구는 느타리버섯 수확후배지를 이용하여 바이오차를 제조하고 바이오차 시용이 토양 이화학성과 작물생육에 미치는 영향을 구명하기 위하여 수행되었다. 연구에 사용한 바이오차는 TLUD 연소생산시스템 사용하여 450~600℃에서 제조하고 바이오차의 성분을 조사하였다. 사용한 바이오차는 원소분석결과 C 76.2%, H 2.5%, N 3.2%로 H/C 비율이 0.39로 국제적인 바이오차의 분해 안전성 인증기준(IBI)인 0.7 이하로 나타났으며 pH는 10.1, P₂O₅ 1.0%, K₂O 1.8%, CaO 2.5%로 나타났다. 느타리버섯 수확후배지 바이오차를 시용량별로 처리하여 배추, 대파 포장시험 결과 바이오차를 시용하지않은 시험구와 비교하여 바이오차 시용으로 토양의 유기물(OM), 전질소(T-N), 전탄소(T-C), K 함량이 증가하고 치환성양이온교환용량(CEC)이 증가하였다. 또한 토양 물리성에 대한 영향을 조사한 결과 바이오차 시용으로 토양의 용적밀도가 낮아지고 공극률이 높아져 토양 물리성이 개선되는 효과가 나타났다. 바이오차 200 kg/10a 시용시 배추와 대파 생육이 양호하고 최대수량을 나타내었으나 통계적인 차이는 없었다. 바이오차 시용량이 증가할수록 토양 탄소함량이 증가하고 이에 따라 토양 탄소격리량도 증가하였다. 느타리버섯 수확후배지 바이오차를 토양개량제로 활용하면 토양의 이화학성 개선에 효과가 있어 친환경 농가에서 토양개량제로 활용도가 높을것으로 생각되며 농업 부산물의 유기자원화를 통한 버섯 수확후배지의 소비처 확대에도 기여할 것으로 기대된다.

Indium (In) is widely used for transparent electrodes of photovoltaics as a form of indium tin oxide (ITO) due to its superior characteristics of environmental stability, relatively low electrical resistivity and high transparency to visible light. However, In has been worn off in proportion to growth the In related market, and it leads to raise of price. Although In is obtained from ITO target scarps, much harmful elements are used for the recycling process. To decrease of harmful elements, ITO swarf particles obtained from target scraps was characterized whether it is feasible to transparent conductive oxide (TCO). The ITO swarf was crushed with milling process, and it was mixed with new ITO nanoparticles. The mixed particles were well dispersed into ink solvent to make-up an ink, and it was well coated onto glass substrate. After heat-treatment at $400^{\circ}C$ under $N_2$ rich environments, optical transmittance at 550 nm and sheet resistance of the ITO ink coated layer was 71.6% and $524.67{\Omega}/{\square}$, respectively. Therefore, it was concluded that the ITO swarf was feasible to TCO of touch screen panel.

Ethyl (R, S)-4-chloro-3-hydroxybutanoate (ECHB) is a useful chiral building block for the synthesis of L-carnitine and hypercholesterolemia drugs. The yeast reductase, YOL151W (GenBank locus tag), exhibits an enantioselective reduction activity, converting ethyl-4-chlorooxobutanoate (ECOB) exclusively into (R)-ECHB. YOL151W was generated in Escherichia coli cells and purified via Ni-NTA and desalting column chromatography. It evidenced an optimum temperature of $45^{\circ}C$ and an optimum pH of 6.5-7.5. Bacillus subtilis glucose dehydrogenase (GDH) was also expressed in Escherichia coli, and was used for the recycling of NADPH, required for the reduction reaction. Thereafter, Escherichia coli cells co-expressing YOL151W and GDH were constructed. After permeablization treatment, the Escherichia coli whole cells were utilized for ECHB synthesis. Through the use of this system, the 30 mM ECOB substrate could be converted to (R)-ECHB.

This paper describes an environmentally friendly process for the recovery of $LiFePO_4$ cathode materials from scrap electrodes by a simple thermal treatment method. The active materials were easily separated from the aluminum substrate foil and polymeric binders were also decomposed at different temperatures ($400^{\circ}C$, $500^{\circ}C$, $600^{\circ}C$) for 30 min under nitrogen gas flow. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electronic microscopy (SEM), Raman spectroscopy, Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The electrochemical properties of the recycled $LiFePO_4$ cathode were evaluated by galvanostatic charge and discharge modes. The specific charge/discharge capacities of the recycled $LiFePO_4$ cathode were similar to those of the original $LiFePO_4$ cathode. The $LiFePO_4$ cathode material recovered at $500^{\circ}C$ exhibits a somewhat higher capacity than those of other recovered materials at high current rates. The recycled $LiFePO_4$ cathode also showed a good cycling performance.
