The aim of this study is to define the condition of optimal pre-treatment for preferable activated carbon fibers (ACFs), which are based on rayon fibers. This paper shows the ideal path of ACFs preparation process; implies that rayon fibers are pre-treated by various solvents with different times before the heating process. The pre-treated rayon fibers finally turned into desirable rayon fiber-based ACFs through optimal pre-treatment condition by heating processes. The thermal analysis method of pre-treated rayon fibers by thermo-gravimetry analyser (TGA) is an idealized tool, which analyzes the best thermal condition of pre-treatment process. Surface morphologies of resulting rayon fibers based ACFs were examined by scanning electron microscope(SEM). The results of TGA and SEM analyses show that the optimal pre-treatment condition for preparing ACFs was clearly defined, in terms of thermal stability and surface morphology.

하폐수 처리과정에서 발생되는 슬러지는 주로 혐기소화에 의해 처리되며 슬러지를 감량하고 메탄을 생산할 수 있어 많이 이용되고 있다. 슬러지의 전처리는 혐기소화의 율속단계인 가수분해를 높여 처리속도를 향상시키므로 많은 연구가 진행 중이다. 본 연구에서는 열, 초음파, 열-알칼리의 전처리 기술에 따른 슬러지의 가수분해(가용화) 효과와 전처리한 슬러지를 혐기소화하여 메탄 생산량과 슬러지의 감량 효과를 비교하였다. 하수와 폐수 슬러지 가용화율은 열-알칼리 동시 처리한 경우에는 67과 70%로 가장 높았고 다음으로 초음파 처리와 열처리가 40% 이상의 비슷한 가용화율을 보였다. 혐기소화 가스의 메탄 함량은 45~70% 범위로 유지되었고 전처리한 슬러지가 control에 비해 높게 나타났다. 메탄 생산량은 열처리, 초음파 처리, 열-알칼리를 같이 처리한 경우가 control에 비해 각각 하수슬러지는 2.6, 2.7, 3.5배, 폐수 슬러지는 3.5, 4.1, 4.2배 증가하였다. 혐기소화 슬러지의 감량효과는 전처리한 슬러지가 control에 비해 5~19% 포인트 높게 나타났으며 열-알칼리 처리한 경우가 초음파와 열처리에 비해 우수한 감량 효과를 보였다. 위의 결과로부터 전처리가 메탄 생산량에서 뿐만 아니라 슬러지 처리처분 비용 절감에 있어서도 중요한 역할을 함을 확인할 수 있었고 열-알칼리 동시 처리가 가장 우수한 성능을 보였다.

The present study investigated the effects of thermal pre-treatment on the enhancement of anaerobic biodegradability of waste activated sludge at varied TS concentration levels. The activated sludges were thermally oxidized for 30 minutes at $80{\sim}200^{\circ}C$ with varied TS concentrations (2%, 4% and 6%). and then, sludge characteristics, solubilization efficiency and methane production yield of thermally pre-treated sludges were analyzed. The higher the temperature in the thermal pre-treatment, the higher the concentration levels of dissolved matters such as $SCOD_{Cr}$, $NH_4{^+}$ and VFAs, which indicates that the thermal pre-treatment facilitates the hydrolysis and acid fermentation. Furthermore, the solubilization efficiency was increased in proportion to the temperature rise at all TS concentrations and was reached at 68.9%, 55.6% and 53.1%, respectively, at $200^{\circ}C$. In the BMP test of the pre-treated sludges, higher methane production yields were observed as 0.313. 0.314 and $0.299m^3\;CH_4/kg\;VS_{add}$ at the condition of TS 2% ($160^{\circ}C$), 4% ($160^{\circ}C$) and 6% ($180^{\circ}C$), respectively, and degradation rate was increased by 84%, 79% and 65% compared with non-pretreated waste activated sludge. These findings suggest the effectiveness of thermal pre-treatment of waste activated sludge for anaerobic biodegradable process.

This study was conducted to increase the amount of bio-hydrogen production from microalgae(Chlorella vulgaris) in batch reactors by thermal pre-treatment. The optimization of thermal pre-treatment was conducted using statistic experimental design of response surface methodology. Two experimental parameters of temperature and reaction time were considered. The optimization condition was founded at the coded variables of <0.52, -0.07> corresponding to the experimental of heating temperature of $95.6^{\circ}C$ and reaction time of 57.9 min, respectively. Under the optimal condition, the maximum hydrogen production was predicted to 25.3mL $H_2/g$ dry cell weight (dcw), which was 9.1 times higher value of control(2.8mL $H_2/g$ dcw).

본 연구에서는 유입 슬러지에 다양한 전처리 방법과 고액분리장치를 이용한 유출수의 잉여슬러지를 농축 후 내부반송을 적용하여, 중온혐기-고온호기 혼합 슬러지 처리 공정의 슬러지 소화효율과 메탄가스 생성량에 미치는 영향을 비교 검증하였다. 실험실 규모의 혼합 소화공정장치를 제작하여 서로 다른 유입 슬러지 전처리방법을 적용하여 5단계로 실험을 진행하였다. 1단계에서는 열-알칼리처리 전처리를 하여 슬러지를 공급하였고, 2, 3, 4단계에서는 유출수로부터 농축된 잉여슬러지의 내부반송과 각각 열-알칼리처리, 열처리, 알칼리 처리(7일)를 거친 유입 슬러지를 공급하였다. 마지막 5단계에서는 전처리를 하지 않은 슬러지를 공급하였다. 실험 결과, 1단계에서 4단계까지 진행되는 동안 Volatile Suspended Solid (VSS) 제거율은 유입 슬러지 전처리와 내부반송을 적용하는 경우 크게 증가하였으며, 메탄생성량 또한 2단계에서 슬러지 내부반송과 열-알칼리처리 전처리 적용의 경우 285 mL/L/day까지 크게 증가하였다. 한편, 5단계에서 전처리를 하지 않은 슬러지를 공급하였을 경우 VSS 제거율과 메탄 생성량이 크게 감소하였다. 결론적으로, 유입 슬러지의 열-알칼리처리 전처리와 유출수의 농축 잉여슬러지의 내부반송을 통해 복합 슬러지 처리 공정의 슬러지 제거 효율과 메탄생성량을 크게 증가시킬 수 있었다.

This study was performed to optimize the integrated thermal-alkali pre-treatment of flotation scum for the enhanced biodegradability. The optimum conditions of the integrated thermal-alkali pre-treatment were obtained using response surface methodology. The disintegration degree of carbohydrate (69.2%) and protein (57.3) were estimated under the optimum conditions. Although the optimum conditions were different, the disintegration degrees were similarly. A fermentative hydrogen batch test was conducted to evaluate the hydrogen production from scum with and/or without. The maximum hydrogen production from scum with pre-treatment was of 0.64 mol H2/mol hexoseadded, which about 1.4 times higher than without pre-treatment.

Response surface methodology (RSM) based on a Box-Behnken Design (BBD) was applied to optimize the thermal-alkaline pre-treatment operating conditions for anaerobic digestion of flotation scum in food waste leachate. Three independent variables such as thermal temperature, NaOH concentration and reaction time were evaluated. The maximum methane production of 369.2 mL $CH_4/g$ VS was estimated under the optimum conditions at $62.0^{\circ}C$, 10.1% NaOH and 35.4 min reaction time. A confirmation test of the predicted optimum conditions verified the validity of the BBD with RSM. The analysis of variance indicated that methane production was more sensitive to both NaOH concentration and thermal temperature than reaction time. Thermal-alkaline pretreatment enhanced the improvement of 40% in methane production compared to the control experiment due to the effective hydrolysis and/or solubilization of organic matters. The fractions with molecular weight cut-off of scum in food waste leachate were conducted before and after pre-treatment to estimate the behaviors of organic matters. The experiment results found that thermal-alkaline pre-treatment could reduce the organic matters more than 10kD with increase the organic matters less than 1kD.

Kenaf fibers, cellulose-based natural fibers, were used as precursor for preparing kenafbased carbon fibers. The effects of carbonization temperature ($700^{\circ}C$ to $1100^{\circ}C$) and chemical pre-treatment (NaOH and $NH_4Cl$) at various concentrations on the thermal change, chemical composition and fiber morphology of kenaf-based carbon fibers were investigated. Remarkable weight loss and longitudinal shrinkage were found to occur during the thermal conversion from kenaf precursor to kenaf-based carbon fiber, depending on the carbonization temperature. It was noted that the alkali pre-treatment of kenaf with NaOH played a role in reducing the weight loss and the longitudinal shrinkage and also in increasing the carbon content of kenaf-based carbon fibers. The number and size of the cells and the fiber diameter were reduced with increasing carbonization temperature. Morphological observations implied that the micrometer-sized cells were combined or fused and then re-organized with the neighboring cells during the carbonization process. By the pre-treatment of kenaf with 10 and 15 wt% NaOH solutions and the subsequent carbonization process, the inner cells completely disappeared through the transverse direction of the kenaf fiber, resulting in the fiber densification. It was noticeable that the alkali pre-treatment of the kenaf fibers prior to carbonization contributed to the forming of kenaf-based carbon fibers.

본 연구에서는 $350^{\circ}C$에서 4 min 이내로 빠르게 등온 안정화공정을 통해 얻어진 레이온직물의 화학조성, 물리적 특성, X-선 회절 패턴, 열안정성 그리고 직물 형상에 미치는 초음파세척 및 화학전처리의 영향을 조사하였다. 안정화공정 동안 레이온직물에서 발생하는 중량감소와 열수축을 줄이고 안정화반응을 촉진시키기 위하여 안정화공정 전에 레이온직물을 먼저 초음파 세척하고 $NH_4Cl$, $Na_3PO_4$, $H_3PO_4$ 및 $ZnCl_2$로 화학전처리 공정을 수행하였다. 결과는 초음파세척 및 화학전처리가 안정화된 레이온직물의 중량감소, 열수축, 미세구조 변화, 탄소함량, 열안정성, 및 직물 형상에 영향을 주었으며, 사용한 안정화시간과 화학전처리제의 종류에 의존하였다.
