The growth and removal capacity of nitrogen and phosphorus of Chlorella vulgaris were evaluated in artificial wastewater with different nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations as element growing components for microalgae growth. The nitrogen concentration was varied in 9, 15, 30 and 60 mg-N/L with fixed phosphorus concentration of 3 mg-P/L. The growth and phosphorus removal capacity of C. vulgaris were high at initial nitrogen concentration of 15 and 30 mg-N/L, and the corresponding N/P ratios calculated were 5 and 10. In the case of varying in 1.5, 3, 6 and 10 mg-P/L of phosphorus concentration with fixed nitrogen concentration of 30 mg-N/L, the growth and removal capacity of nitrogen and phosphorus were excellent with phosphorus concentration of 3 and 6 mg-P/L. The corresponding N/P ratios were shown as 10 and 5. Therefore, the appropriate N/P ratio was concluded between 5 and 10 for wastewater treatment using C. vulgaris.

In order to determine the location of average concentration and distribution status of dissolved oxygen in the rectangular aeration tank of the sewage treatment plant was analyzed and the difference of dissolved oxygen concentration was remarkable at each location. Compared with the computational fluid dynamics analysis, it was found that the results were consistent with the measurement results by showing the difference of dissolved oxygen concentration between the locations. Based on the measured data, the representative location of dissolved oxygen in aeration tank was selected by using statistical analysis method and the representative location was expressed in three-dimensional coordinates(LWH : 25%, 50%, 33%) from flow direction and left wall. Also the difference between the dissolved oxygen concentration at the actual measurement location and the average concentration value of the entire aeration tank was founded, and the equations for calibrating the automatic measurement data considering the actual measurement location were calculated.

Alkaline treatment gives Sea-Island type yam to produce microfiber and silk-like touch. But this treatment have some problems in dyeing and finishing process. To solve some problem occurred in dyeing and finishing of polyester fabric, the ultrasonic treatment technique was used recently. This study was carried out to confirm the effect of the ultrasonic treatment on alkaline weight loss finishing of polyester fiber under general alkaline treatment conditions; NaOH concentration 2, 3, 4, and 5％, treatment time 5, 10, 15, and 20 minutes, treatment temperature 70, 80, 90, and 99'E, respectively. On the other hand, the three way lay out method was used to test of significant obtained data from alkaline treatment. It was found that weight loss increased with increasing the NaOH concentration, temperature, and time. Also, in case of PET/Co-PET fabrics by ultrasonic, weight loss and dissolution of microfiber were superior to PET/Co-PET fabrics without ultrasonic. Tensile strength and modulus decreased with increasing NaOH concentrations and hydrolysis time. Therefore, the effect of alkali hydrolysis by ultrasonic application was better than that of the conventional method.

In this study, the reusability of the Fenton oxidation solution was evaluated to reduce the cost of the pretreatment process. Biomass was sequential subjected to Fenton oxidation-hydrothermal treatment and enzymatic hydrolysis to produce monosaccharides. The liquid solution recovered after Fenton oxidation contained OH radicals with a concentration of 0.11 mol/L. This liquid solution was reused for a new Fenton oxidation reaction. After Fenton oxidation, hydrothermal treatment was performed under the same conditions as before, and 9.34-13.63 g/L of xylose was detected. This concentration was slightly lower than that of a fresh Fenton oxidation solution (16.51 g/L) but was higher than that obtained by hydrothermal treatment without Fenton oxidation (2.72 g/L). The degradation rate during hydrothermal pretreatment involving Fenton oxidation was 36.02%, which decreased (29.24-31.05%) slightly when the liquid solution recovered after Fenton oxidation was reused. However, the degradation rate increased compared to that measured from hydrothermal treatment without Fenton oxidation (15.21%). Moreover, the yield after enzyme hydrolysis decreased in the following order: fresh Fenton oxidation-hydrothermal treatment (89.64%) > Fenton oxidation with reused solution-hydrothermal treatment (74.84%) > hydrothermal treatment without Fenton oxidation (32.05%).

본 연구에서는 목질계 바이오매스의 초임계수 처리 후 얻어진 당화액 내 발효저해물질인 퓨란계 화합물(5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF), 푸르푸랄)을 제거하기 위한 목탄 처리의 효과를 구명하고자 하였으며, 이를 위해 유사 당화액을 제조하고 목탄 투입량 및 처리 시간에 따른 당 및 퓨란계 화합물의 제거율을 계산해 활성탄의 경우와 비교분석하였다. 글루코오스, 자일로오스, 5-HMF, 푸르푸랄이 포함된 유사 당화액에 목탄 또는 활성탄을 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, 12% (w/v) 농도로 투입하여 1, 3, 6, 12, 24시간 동안 처리하였다. 처리 결과, 목탄 투입량 및 처리 시간이 증가함에 따라 5-HMF 및 푸르푸랄 제거율이 점차 증가하여 목탄 투입량 8%, 처리 시간 3시간 이상에서는 5-HMF, 푸르푸랄 모두 95% 이상 제거되었으며, 동시에 당의 손실(< 2%)은 거의 없었다. 반면, 활성탄을 처리하였을 경우, 목탄보다 온화한 조건(활성탄 투입량: 8%, 처리 시간: 1시간)에서도 5-HMF 및 푸르푸랄 제거율이 95% 이상이었으나, 글루코오스 및 자일로오스 또한 각각 10% 이상이 제거되었다. 따라서, 결론적으로 당 생산 및 추가적인 당 활용 공정을 고려할 때, 목탄을 이용하는 것이 상대적으로 당화액의 퓨란계 화합물을 효과적으로 제거하고 당 수율을 유지하는 방법으로 판단된다.

Synbiotics is the term used for a mixture of probiotics (live microbial feed additives that beneficially affects the host animal) and prebiotics (non-digestible food ingredients that beneficially affect the organism). This study investigated the effect of probiotics from anaerobic microflora with prebiotics on growth performance, nutrient digestibility, noxious gas emission and fecal microbial population in weaning pigs. 150 pigs with an initial BW of 6.80${\pm}$0.32 kg (20 d of age) were randomly assigned to 5 dietary treatments as follows: i) US, basal diet+0.15% antibiotics (0.05% oxytetracycline 200 and 0.10% tiamulin 38 g), ii) BS, basal diet+0.2% synbiotics (probiotics from bacteria), iii) YS, basal diet+0.2% synbiotics (probiotics from yeast), iv) MS, basal diet+0.2% synbiotics (probiotics from mold), v) CS, basal diet+0.2% synbiotics (from compounds of bacteria, yeast and mold). The probiotics were contained in $10^{9}$ cfu/ml, $10^{5}$ cfu/ml and $10^{3}$ tfu/ml of bacteria, yeast and molds, respectively. The same prebiotics (mannan oligosaccharide, lactose, sodium acetate and ammonium citrate) was used for all the synbiotics. Pigs were housed individually for a 16-day experimental period. Growth performance showed no significant difference between antibiotic treatments and synbiotics-added treatments. The BS treatment showed higher (p<0.05) dry matter (DM) and nitrogen digestibility while ether extract and crude fiber digestibility were not affected by the dietary treatment. Also, the BS treatment decreased (p<0.05) fecal ammonia and amine gas emissions. Hydrogen sulfide concentration was also decreased (p<0.05) in BS, YS and MS treatments compared to other treatments. Moreover, all the synbioticsadded treatments increased fecal acetic acid concentration while the CS treatment had lower propionic acid concentration than the US treatment (p<0.05) gas emissions but decreased in fecal propionate gas emissions. Total fecal bacteria and Escherichia coli populations did not differ significantly among the treatments, while the Shigella counts were decreased (p<0.05) in synbiotics-included treatment. Fecal bacteria population was higher in the YS treatment than other treatments (p<0.05). The BS treatment had higher yeast concentration than YS, MS and CS treatments, while US treatment had higher mold concentrations than MS treatment (p<0.05). Therefore, the results of the present study suggest that synbiotics are as effective as antibiotics on growth performance, nutrient digestibility and fecal microflora composition in weaning pigs. Additionally, synbiotics from anaerobic microflora can decrease fecal noxious gas emission and synbiotics can substitute for antibiotics in weaning pigs.

해양심층수의 처리에서 처리농도가 높아짐에 따라 대조구보다 작물의 생육이 떨어짐으로 과실의 생육과 수량은 감소한다. 평균 생체중은 전체적으로 양액 내 해양심층수의 농도가 높을수록 감소하는 경향이었다. 특히 1화방에 비하여 2화방의 생계중이 처리농도가 높아질수록 현저히 감소하였다. 과실의 고형물 함량은 심층수의 농도가 높을수록 증가하는 경향이었다. 제 1화방의 경우 10mM과 20mM 처리구에서 가장 많이 증가하였으나, 제 2화방의 경우 30mM과 40mM 처리구가 가장 많이 증가하였다. 토마토 과실을 구성하는 당은 glucose와 fructose가 대부분이었고 sucrose는 미량만 검출되었다. 과실 내 fructose와 glucose의 함량이 처리농도가 높을수록 줄어드는 이유는 심층수에 의해 생긴 염 스트레스에 의해 잎의 생육이 저하된 것에 기인한 것으로 보인다. 이 실험에서는 20mM 처리구의 라이코펜 함량이 가장 많은 것으로 나타났으며 무처리구와 나머지 처리구의 함량은 크게 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 심층수 처리는 염 스트레스로 작용하여 에틸렌 형성을 유도 및 촉진시켜 과실의 성숙이 빨라진 것으로 생각되었다. 해양심층수의 처리는 가용성 고형물 함량과 lycopene 함량을 높임으로써 토마토 과실의 품질에 효과가 있으나 생체중의 감소로 인한 생산량 감소가 생긴다. 이에 적정처리 농도인 20mM로 처리하였을 때 고품질의 과실 생산이 가능함과 동시에 생산량 감소를 최소화할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다. 전체 ginsenosides 중 Re의 농도가 전 처리구에서 모두 가장 높은 함량을 차지하였으며, ginsenosides의 총함량은 EC 8 처리구를 제외한 전 처리구에서 대조구 보다 높게 나타났다. PT/PD의 값은 EC 8 처리구가 1.31로 가장 낮았고, EC 6 처리구가 2.52로 가장 높았으며, 나머지 처리구는 큰 차이가 없었다.

본 연구에서는 맛 냄새 물질 발생시 표준정수처리공정에서 지오스민과 활성탄 주입량을 효과적으로 저감하는 방안을 제시하였다. 염소처리방식에 따른 지오스민 제거효율을 평가한 결과, 저농도(< 25 ng/L)의 경우 전염소와 중간염소를 동시에 운영할 경우 지오스민 제거율은 46%인 반면, 중간염소로 운영한 공정의 지오스민 제거율은 57%로 나타났다. 중농도(25~79 ng/L)에서는 전염소와 중간염소로 운영한 지오스민 제거율은 59%, 중간염소로 운영한 지오스민 제거율은 87%로 나타났다. 고농도(> 80 ng/L)에서도 전염소와 중간염소를 동시에 운영한 지오스민 제거율은 67%인 반면 중간염소로 운영한 지오스민 제거율은 95%로 나타나 중간염소로 운영시 제거율이 높아지는 것으로 나타났다. 지오스민 농도별 측정결과와 활성탄 투입량의 상관성을 분석한 결과, 결정계수($R^2$)는 0.96 으로 나타나 적합한 분말활성탄 조견표를 제안하였다. 또한, 지오스민 물질발생 초기에 중간염소와 활성탄을 동시에 투입 시 원수농도가 급격히 증가하여도 지오스민의 입자성 물질을 지속적으로 제거할 수 있어 활성탄 저감 뿐만 아니라 정수 기대농도도 만족할 수 있었다.

Lead (Pb) is a metal that is generally considered to be toxic to the cardiovascular system. Pb-exposed animals display the evidence of increased oxidative stress and hypertension. The current study was designed to examine whether Korean red ginseng (KRG) has protective effects against Pb-induced hypertension and oxidative stress in Pb-exposed rats. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned to Pb exposure or control groups. KRG was administered in drinking water at a concentration of 100 mg/kg/day; the control group received plain drinking water. Animals in the Pb-exposed groups were provided with drinking water containing 100 ppm Pb acetate for 12 weeks. Blood pressure, plasma glutathione, blood Pb concentration, and hematologic data, such as red blood cell quantity, were determined. Pb poisoning was assessed by measuring the blood Pb concentration. Pb exposure (100 ppm) for 12 weeks resulted in a marked rise in systolic blood pressure and blood Pb concentration, as well as a significant reduction in plasma glutathione levels and red blood cell quantity. Other measurements, such as heart rate, body weight, and white blood cell quantity, were unchanged. Treatment with KRG significantly lowered blood pressure, raised plasma glutathione and increased red blood cell numbers in Pb-exposed animals; it also had no effect on heart rate, body weight, or white blood cell quantity. However, the elevated blood Pb concentration was not reduced by treatment with KRG (100 mg/kg). Taken together, these data indicate that treatment with KRG in Pb-exposed animals can reduce oxidative stress and lower blood pressure, suggesting that KRG might be protective against Pb-exposed hypertension and oxidative stress.

The feasibility of the high-hydrophilic biofilter was examined for application in rural wastewater treatment in Korea. The intermittent trickling biofiter was developed for wastewater treatment of media and examined instantaneous wetting water and immersional wetting water. Melamin foam absorbed 120 times it's weight in water and maintained wetting status than other materials. These characteristics are improvement for application in rural areas showing large variance of amount of influent. The biofilter process was effective in treating organic pollutants; mean removal efficiencies of $BOD_5$ and TSS were above 80%. The average SS concentrations of effluent was showed below $10mg/L^{-1}$ and meet guidelines in special regions, however, the average concentration of $BOD_5$ was about $20mg/L^{-1}$. The removals of T-N and T-P were relatively less effective and removal efficiencies were below 40%. It might meet the guidelines for T-P because of low levels of influent T-P concentration. However, the T-N concentration were too high and further treatment is required. The effluent concentration of $NH_4-N$ showed a significant reduction rate about 43.8%, but part of $NH_4-N$ was transformed to $NO_2-N$ and $NO_3-N$ inside the biofilter through nitrification process. The effluent concentration of org-P was removed about 78.8% of influent concentration by filtration. Considering stable performance and effective removal of pollutant in wastewater, low maintenance, and cost-effectiveness, the hydrophilic biofilter system was thought to be an effective and feasible alternative for decentralized rural areas.
