This research aims to remove nitrogen in the piggery wastewater by combined process with upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) and biofilm process. For the effective denitrification. anaerobic and anoxic reactors were connected to a reactor. The effluent of aerobix reactor was recycled equally with influent in the upper filter of anaerobic reactor for denitrification and outlet of UBF reactor was connected to the settling tank with $1.5{\;}{\ell}$ capacity and the settling sludge was repeatedly recycled to UASB zone. The organic loading rate of total reactor was operated from 0.4 to $3.1kgCOD/m^{3}/d$ and it was observed that the removal rate of TCOD was 80 to 95 percentage. Ammonia nitrogen was removed over 90 percentage in the less volumetric loading rate than $0.1{\;}kgN/m^{3}/d$. But because of non-limitation of organic materials, it was reduced to 70 percentage in the more volumetric loading rate than $0.6{\;}kgN/m^{3}/d$. But denitrification rate was observed 100 percentage in the all of loading rate. This is caused by the maintenance of optimum temperature, sufficient carbon source, and competition of electron acceptors. The results of COD mass balance at the $1.21{\;}kgCOD/m^{3}/d$ was observed with the 71.7% percentage of influent COD. It was revealed that the most part of organic materials was removed in the aerobic and the anaerobic reactor because 38.4 percentage was conversed into $CH_{4}$ gas and 11 percentage was removed in the aerobic reactor with cell synthesis and metabolism. Besides, 5.7% organics was used to denitrification reaction and 3.7% organics related to sulfate reduction.

A non-phosphorous program employing an alkyl epoxy carboxylate (AEC) has been successfully applied to petrochemical and other large industrial open recirculating cooling water systems. AEC is a patented non-phosphorous calcium carbonate scale inhibitor that has demonstrated better scale inhibition abilities than traditional organic phosphonates. In addition to its antiscalant properties, AEC inhibits carbon steel corrosion when used at high dosages. AEC can be combined with zinc to form a non-phosphorous program with very low levels of phosphate to provide an environmentally acceptable program. In actual applications, the total phosphate developed in the cooling system from cycling the makeup is below 1 ppm as $PO_4$. This level has complied with the highest standards of wastewater discharge limitations. The performance of two AEC/Zinc applications is reviewed. In both cases excellent corrosion and scale control were achieved with AEC/Zinc programs. One case history details the performance with a low hardness water (100 ppm calcium, as $CaCO_3$) operating at 8-10 cycles of concentration. The corrosive nature of the water and the long retention time of the system stressed both the corrosion and scale control capabilities of the program. The second case history demonstrates the performance of the program with a moderate hardness water (400-600 ppm calcium, as $CaCO_3$), but under harsh conditions of high temperature and low flow. The AEC/zinc combination has been found to be highly effective in controlling the corrosion of ferrous metals. AEC can provide good corrosion inhibition at high concentrations, while zinc is known to be an excellent cathodic inhibitor. The combination of the two inhibitors not only provides a synergistic blend that is effective over a wide range of operating conditions, but also is environmentally friendly.

참기름 제조의 부산물인 참깨박의 활용도를 높이기 위하여 효소 처리에 의한 참깨박 불용성 단백질의 추출 조건을 조사하였다. 단백질 분해효소인 Alcalase, Flavourzyme, Neutrase, Protamex의 처리 결과를 대조구와 비교한 결과 Protamex가 고형분과 단백질 함량 증가에 효과적이었다. Protamex의 반응 조건(50 ℃, pH 6.0)에서 효소의 사용량은 탈지 참깨박의 1%, 효소반응시간은 3시간이 적당하였다. 효소 처리 효율을 향상시키기 위하여 참깨박을 열처리하면, 열처리 온도가 증가할수록 추출되는 단백질 함량은 증가하였으며 110이상에서는 미미하게 증가하였다. 세포벽 분해효소(Tunicase)와 단백질 분해효소의 병용처리가 단백질 가용화에 미치는 효과를 조사한 결과, 단백질 분해효소를 처리한 다음에 세포벽 분해효소를 처리하는 것이 가장 효과적이었다. 열처리(110 ℃, 10분) 후 Protamex와 Tunicase를 순차적인 처리로 단백질 함량이 열처리와 효소처리하지 않은 대조구의 약 3.6배(9.85→35.58 mg/mL), 열처리만 실시한 대조구의 약 2.2배(15.83→35.58 mg/mL) 증가하였다.

Purpose: The kinetic evaluation was performed for swine manure (SM) degradation and biogas generation. Methods: The SM was anaerobically digested using batch digesters at feed to inoculum ratio (F/I) of 1.0 under mesophilic conditions ($36.5^{\circ}C$). The specific gas yield was expressed in terms of gram total chemical oxygen demand (mL/g TCOD added) and gram volatile solids added (mL/g VS added) and their effectiveness was discussed. The biogas and methane production were predicted using first order kinetic model and the modified Gompertz model. The critical hydraulic retention time for biomass washout was determined using Chen and Hashimoto model. Results: The biogas and methane yield from SM was 346 and 274 mL/ TCOD added, respectively after 100 days of digestion. The average methane content in the biogas produced from SM was 79% and $H_2S$ concentration was in the range of 3000-4108 ppm. It took around 32-47 days for 80-90% of biogas recovery and the TCOD removal from SM was calculated to be 85%. When the specific biogas and methane yield from SM (with very high TVFA concentration) was expressed in terms of oven dried volatile solids (VS) basis, the gas yield was found to be over estimated. The difference in the measured and predicted gas yield was in the range of 1.2-1.5% when using first order kinetic model and 0.1% when using modified Gompertz model. The effective time for biogas production ($T_{Ef}$) from SM was calculated to be in the range of 30-45 days and the critical hydraulic retention time ($HRT_{Critical}$) for biomass wash out was found to be 9.5 days. Conclusions: The modified Gompertz model could be better in predicting biogas and methane production from SM. The HRT greater than 10 days is recommended for continuous digesters using SM as feedstock.

Objectives: The purpose of this research is to examine effects of acupuncture treatment on the autonomic nervous systems of Hwa-byung patients with insomnia. Methods: The study was performed through a patient-assessor blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial in which the volunteers, data collectors, and analysts were unaware of which individuals were receiving the treatment. A total of thirty-seven volunteers were divided into 2 groups. Eighteen subjects were placed into a trial group and 19 subjects into a control group using a randomization table. The trial group was treated with bilateral Shigu, Ahnmyun, B62 (Shinmaek), and K6 (Chohae), while the control group was not given any other treatment. The ISI (Insomnia Severity Scale) was measured as the first evaluative instrument, and then a comparative analysis was conducted by comparing the results with those measured by ANS (BVP/HR, respiration rate, peripheral temperature, skin conductance, EMG). Results: In the BVP/HR, statistically significant decreases were found in those from the trial group compared to those of the control group. Skin conductance was found to be significantly increased in the trial group, as compared to the control group. However, there were no significant differences between the groups with respect to peripheral temperature, respiration rate, and EMG. Conclusions: The results suggest that acupuncture treatment is effective in the treatment of hwa-byung patients who suffer from insomnia due to their autonomic nervous systems.

In order to fractionate sardine oil by different solvents for an effective use of fish oil being subjected to the limit of use, an attempt was to investigate the proper solvents, ratios and fractionation time. The results of the study were as follows: 1. The proper solvent of fractionation using ethanol, isopropyl alcohol, acetone, and hexane was ethanol, and its optimum ratio was 2:1 (ethanol: oil, v/w). The proper time of ethanol fractionation by the ratio (2:1) was 4hr at $10^{\circ}C$, 6hr at $5^{\circ}C$, 8hr at $0^{\circ}C$and 8hr at $-5^{\circ}C$, respectively. 2. In the fractionation by stages using the ratio (2:1) at each temperature, the yield of stearine was 8％ at $10^{\circ}C$ (Fraction I), 32％ at $5^{\circ}C$ (Fraction II), 7％ at $0^{\circ}C$ (Fraction III) and 10％ at $0^{\circ}C$ (Fraction IV), respectively. When ethanol fractionation was undertaken at $5^{\circ}C$ by stages, the yield of stearine (Fraction II) was high. 3. Iodine value of Fraction II was 96.8. This result indicated that the hydrogenation process would be simplified by fractionation. 4. The percentage of the decrease of polyenoic acids from original sardine oil to Fraction II oil was from 30.5％ to 13.5％. The major fatty acids of Fraction II were palmitic and oleic acids and these fatty acids were about 52％ of total fatty acids. Therefore, Fraction II, which remained liquid oil at room temperature because solid fat content was 6.9％ at $20^{\circ}C$, would be used as frying oil.

가다랭이 안와유로부터 docosahexaenoic acid(DHA)를 정제하기 위해 기존의 방법들을 적용하여 비교 검토하고, DHA의 효과적인 정제를 위해 조작방법을 개량하였다. 가다랭이 안와조직의 총지질은 $55.4\%$였으며, 이 중 DHA는 $23.7\%$였다. 저온분별결정법과 요소결정법을 적용한 결과 순도에서 각각 약 $46\%$ 및 $61\%$의 DHA가 얻어졌다. 이들 방법들은 순도면에서는 다소 떨어지나, 정제조작이 단순하여 다량의 DHA 분리에 적합하였다. 질산은 수용액법은 상기 2가지 방법에 비하여 순도면에서는 약간 개선되었으나, 회수율이 대단히 낮았다($10\%$ 이하). 질산은 함침 실리카 칼럼 크로마토그래피법은 고순도 DHA의 정제방법으로써 적합하였다(순도 $98\%$ 이상, 회수율 $90\%$ 이상). 결과적으로 저온분별결정법과 질산은 함침 실리카 칼럼 크로마토그래피법을 조합한 개량법(2단계 정제법)이 가다랭이 안와유로부터 고순도 DHA($99.9\%$)의 정제를 위한 가장 효과적인 방법으로 평가되었다.

Capacitive deionization (CDI) process is a novel approach for desalination of an aqueous salt solution. In the present study, an activated carbon cloth (ACC) is proposed as effective electrode material. Initially the carbon cloth was activated in 1 M and 8 M HNO₃ for 9 hours at room temperature. The untreated and chemically activated carbon cloth (ACC) electrode materials were subjected to BET surface area measurements in order to get information about their specific surface area, average pore size, total pore volume and micropore area. The above materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) also. The electrochemical studies for the electrodes were done using cyclic voltammetry (CV) in 0.1 M Na₂SO₄ medium. From the studies, it was found that resistivity of the activated carbon cloth electrodes (treated in 1 M and 8 M HNO₃) was decreased significantly by the chemical oxidation in nitric acid at room temperature and its capacitance was found to be 90 F/g (1 M HNO₃) and 154 F/g (8 M HNO₃) respectively in 0.1 M Na₂SO₄ solution. The capacitive deionization behavior of a single cell CDI with activated carbon cloth electrodes was also studied and reported in this work.
