The present study has been conducted for manufacturing MPCM (microencapsulated phase change material) slurry with in-situ polymerization and proving their applicabilities for tooling system. The surface of MPCM is composed of melamine, while tetradecane, paraffin wax, is centered in the MPCM. The produced capsules are observed by the optical microscope and SEM for superficial shapes. Their thermal properties are measured by DSC. Their size distributions are observed by FA particle analyzer. A narrow size distribution from 1 to 10 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ with 5 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ of average diameter was observed. Melting temperature was 6.7$^{\circ}C$. The durability of MPCM was tested with various types of pump such as centrifugal, peristaltic, and mono pumps. During 10000 cycles the fraction of broken capsules was smaller than 6% for the centrifugal and peristaltic pumps, while bigger value of 8% for the mono pump. A cooling system, which adopted MPCM slurry as a media for transporting cold thermal energy, was designed to investigate the performance of the MPCM. The discharging times of 10 and 20 wt% MPCM slurry were lasted up to 105 and 285 minutes longer, respectively, than the water cooling system.

Perstractive fermentation is a good way to increase the productivity of bioreactors. Us-ing Propionibacteria as the model system, the feasibility of using supported emulsion liquid mem-brane(SELM) fro perstractive fermentation is assessed in this study. Five industrial solvents were considered as the solvent for perparing the SELM. The more polar a solvent, is the higher the par-tition coefficeint However, toxicity of a solvent also increases with its polarity. CO-1055(indus-trial decanol/octanol blend)has the highest partition coefficient toward propionic acid among the solvents that has no molecular toxicity toward Propionibacteria, A preliminary extraction study was conducted using tetradecane as solvent in a hydrophobic hollow fiber contactor. The results confirmed that SELM eliminates the equilibrium limitation of conventional liquid-liquid extrac-tion and allows the use of a non-toxic solvent with low partition coefficient.

The present study has been conducted for manufacturing MPCM (microencapsulated phase change material) slurry with in-situ polymerization and proving their applicabilities for cooling system. The tetradecane as a core material of MPCM is coated with melamine. The produced capsules are observed by the optical microscope and SEM for superficial shapes and analysed their properties by DSC and particle size distribution by FA particle analyzer. It is found that narrow size distribution in 1 to $10{\mu}m$ is resulted in $5{\mu}m$ of average diameter and $9^{\circ}C$ melting temperature. The durability of MPCM capsules is tested with various types of pumps such as centrifugal, peristaltic, and mono. For the centrifugal and peristaltic pumps the breakage fraction of the capsules is resulted within $6\%$ during 10,000 cycles, while the mono is over $8\%$. The cooling system, which has adopted MPCM slurry as a medium for transporting cold thermal energy, is designed to investigate the performance of newly developed coolant. The discharging times of cold energy in circulating 10 and $20wt\%$ MPCM slurry are lasted to 105 and 285 minutes, respectively.

Volatile components of crude fucoidan and its raw material, Undaria pinnatifida sporophylls were identified by GC/MSD analysis, and the effects of a combined method of solvent extraction and drying (hot-air drying or spray drying) on deordorization of fucoidans were examined. The major components of seaweed smell (odor) in crude fucoidan and Undaria pinnatifida sporophylls were identified as alkanes (octadecane, heptadecane, tetradecane) and acids (hexadecanoic acid, oleic acid). Solvent extraction and drying were combined for the deordorization of fucoidans: hot-air drying/deordorization process (HDDP) and spray drying/deordorization process (SDDP). The deordorization effects of solvent extraction using solvents including water, ethanol, and acetone were investigated. Among the tested solvents, ethanol was selected as a deordorization solvent, because the seaweed smell and taste were mostly lowered by ethanol extraction followed by drying. In addition, HDDP and SDDP were compared, showing that SDDP gave higher sensory characteristics than HDDP. When the crude fucoidan was treated by ethanol extraction for 30 min followed by SDDP, approximately 60% of off-flavor components of crude fucoidan was removed based on GC/MSD peak area, and the total sugar and sulfate contents and APTT-anticoagulant activity significantly increased compared to crude fucoidan. In conclusion, SDDP after ethanol treatment was proposed and established as a deordorization process for fucoidan preparation.

Cavitation generated by ultrasonic irradiation can enhance the diffusional transport of organic contaminants from soil surfaces or pores. Therefore, ultrasound soil washing can be an alternative of traditional soil washing process. In this study, soil was artificially contaminated with n-tetradecane, n-hexadecane and phenanthrene. A plate type ultrasonic reactor at 25 kHz frequency and 1000W power was used for laboratory soil washing experiments. Ultrasonic soil washing efficiency was compared with those of traditional soil washing using mechanical mixing. Various operational parameter such as soil/liquid ratio, irradiation time, particle size, and soil organic matter content was tested to find out the optimum condition. It was found that ultrasonic soil washing demonstrates better performance than mechanical soil washing. Optimum soil:liquid ratio for ultrasonic soil washing was 1 : 5. Desorption of organic contaminants from soils by ultrasonic irradiation was relatively fast and reached equilibrium within 10 minute. However, decrease in the soil particle sizes by ultrasonic irradiation results in re-adsorption of contaminants to soil phase. It was also observed that soil particle size distribution and soil organic matter content have significant effects on the efficiency of ultrasonic soil washing.

본 연구는 MC와 저분자량 유화제 Tween 20 간의 경쟁 흡착 현상이 MC 유화액(1 wt% MC, 10 wt% n-tetradecane, 20 mM bis-tris, pH 7)의 안정도(크리밍 안정도 및 orthokinetic stability) 특성에 미치는 영향을 구명하고자 수행하였다. 크리밍 특성 변화는 시료 유화액의 크리밍 프로화일 및 지방구 평균 이동 속도($V_m$) 등을 비교하였고, orthokinetic stability는 전단시간(shear time)에 대한 지방구 크기 변화를 측정하여 평가하였다. 지방 함량을 달리하여(1$\sim$30wt%) 제조한 Tween 20 무첨가 MC 유화액의 경우 지방구 평균 이동 속도($V_m$)로 표현된 크리밍 안정도는 유화액 중 지방구 크기에 의존하는 경향을 보였다. 즉 지방구 크기가 클수록 안정도는 낮은 것으로 나타났다[$V_m$: 0.326 $\mu$m $min^{-1}$ ($d_{32}$: 0.32 $\mu$m)${\rightarrow}V_m$: 0.551 $\mu$m $min^{-1}$ ($d_{32}$: 0.53 $\mu$m)]. Tween 20을 첨가할 경우 MC 유화액의 크리밍 안정도는 Tween 20을 첨가하지 않은 경우보다 낮았고(0.2 wt% Tween 20 첨가 제외), 낮은 첨가 농도에서 가장 낮은 안정도를 보였으며, 농도가 증가할수록 안정도는 회복되는 것으로 관찰되었다[$V_m$: 0.598 $\mu$m $min^{-1}$(0.01 wt%)${\rightarrow}V_m$: 0.389 $\mu$m $min^{-1}$(0.2wt%)]. MC 유화액 연속상의 점도를 측정한 결과 이러한 크리밍 안정도 변화는 연속상의 점도 변화 경향과 잘 일치하고 있었다(Stokes 법칙에 잘 따름). 따라서 Tween 20을 함유하는 유화액의 크리밍에 대한 안정도는 물/기름 계면에서 일어나는 MC/Tween 20 간 경쟁흡착에 의하여 수용액 상으로 이탈된 MC 농도에 의존되고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 유화 불안정화 시간($t_d$)으로 평가한 orthokinetic stability의 경우 Tween 20 첨가에 의하여 MC 유화액의 유화 안정도는 낮아 졌으며, 유화제 첨가 농도의 증가와 더불어 더욱 낮아지는 경향을 보였다[$t_d$: 160 min(0.03 wt%)${\rightarrow}t_d$: 100 min(0.2wt%)]. Tween 20은 계면 흡착 MC를 수용액 상으로 이탈시키므로 Tween 20을 함유한 MC 유화액의 orthokinetic stability 특성은 MC load에 지수 함수적으로 의존됨을 확인할 수 있었다. 결론적으로 MC 유화액에 Tween 20을 첨가할 경우 유화안정도에 영향을 미칠 수 있으며 그 정도는 첨가한 Tween 20의 농도에 의존되는 특성을 보였다.

Building and furnishing materials and consumer product are important sources of volatile organic compounds(VOCs) and other aldehydes in the indoor environment. Some available evidence indicates that VOCs can cause adverse health effects to the building occupants and contribute to some of the symptoms of what we call, 'Sick House Syndrome' in Korea. The aims of this study were to evaluate the efficiency of emission system and to investigate comparison of the emission characteristics of different building materials such as wall-papers, paints, and adhesives. The emission of VOCs from building materials were determined in the small chambers defining the temperature, relative humidity, and ventilation rate in this study. VOCs were sampled for 20 minutes using Tenax-TA tubes and analysed by GC-MS with thermal desorption. The stability of conditions for temperature and relative humidity in this small chamber system showed that the fluctuation of temperature was between 25.4$\pm$0.3$^{\circ}C$ and that of relative humidity was 50.2$\pm$0.6$\%$ under the airflow rate of 167 mL/min. The emission tests from building materials resulted in TVOC emission rates of 0.011 $\~$ 3.108 mg/m$^{2}$h after 7 days. The general wall-papers emitted toluene abundantly and the natural wall-papers mainly emitted n-butanol and a minor amount of alkanes compound such as n -tetradecane. The remainder consisted of toluene, m,p -xylene, and styrene. The paints mainly emitted toluene and the adhesives mainly emitted chloroform as well as toluene. As a result, this study is expected to suggest meaningful data for future studies in exposure control through selecting healthy building materials and for the establishment of guidelines for various building materials in Korea.
