  • A fast and simple method for synthesis of CuxO-ZnO/PPy/RGO nanocomposite by electrochemical manner have been reported in this paper. For testing the utility of this nanocomposite we modified a GCE with the nanocomposite to yield a sensor for simultaneous determination of four analytes namely ascorbic acid (AA), dopamine (DA), uric acid (UA), and folic acid (FA). Cyclic voltammetry (CV) and Differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) selected for the study. The modified electrode cause to enhance electron transfer rate so overcome to overlapping their peaks and consequently having the ability to the simultaneous determination of AA, DA, UA, and FA. To synthesis confirmation of the nanocomposite, Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), Raman spectroscopy, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were applied. The linearity ranges were 0.07-485 μM, 0.05-430 μM, 0.02-250 μM and 0.022-180 μM for AA, DA, UA, and FA respectively and the detection limits were 22 nM, 10 nM, 5 nM and 6 nM for AA, DA, UA, and FA respectively Also, the obtained electrode can be used for the determination of the AA, DA, UA, and FA in human blood, and human urine real samples.

  • A cationic water soluble porphyrin (5,10,15,20-tetrakis (l-methyl-pyridinium-4-yl)porphyrin, $H_2tmpyp^{4+}$) and its metalloporphyrins (MP) were easily extracted into acetonitrile separated by addition of sodium chloride ($4mol\;dm^{-3}$) in the presence of sodium perchlorate, where M denotes $Zn^{2+}$, $Cu^{2+}$, $Co^{3+}$, $Fe^{3+}$, and $Mn^{3+}$ and $P^{2-}$ is porphyrinate ion. The extracted ion-pair complexes were completely dissociated to $[MP(ClO_4)_3]^+$, and $[MP(ClO_4)_2]^{2+}$. The extraction and the dissociation constants were determined by taking into account of the partition constant of sodium perchlorate ($K_D=1.82{\pm}0.01$). The chemical properties of the separated acetonitrile phase as $E_{T(30)}$ and $D_{II,I}$ were determined and compared with other water miscible solvents (acetone, actonitrile, 1,4-dioxane, tetrahydrofuran, 1-propanol and 2-propanol). Furthermore, a sensitive and selective method was proposed for the determination of a subnanogram amount of copper(II) in natural water samples by using the present salting-out method and the porphyrins.

  • 홍합, 따개비 등의 접착성 해양생물은 선박의 하부나 발전소 해수 공급용 튜브에 부착하여 운영 효율을 저하 시키고, 냉각기기 고장을 유발하는 파울링(Fouling) 문제를 야기시킨다. 일반적으로 이러한 문제에 대응하기 위해서 초접착성 해양생물이 주로 부착하는 부위에 $Cu_2O$, ZnO 등을 포함한 유기화합물로 표면처리를 하여 부착방지를 하고 있지만, 이 소재들을 장시간 사용 시 해양 오염 및 부식을 가속화하는 문제를 초례하기 때문에 최근에는 사용을 금지하고 있다. 이러한 유해성 소재 문제를 해결하고자 친환경적이고 부작용이 없는 초접착성 해양생물 부착방지 소재를 개발하고자 하였다. 본 연구에서는 낮은 표면장력을 갖는 PDMS(Polydimethylsiloxane) 소재를 기반으로 소수성 oil을 침투시킨 I-PDMS(Oil-Polydimethylsiloxane) 표면처리법을 고안하였고, 이 방법을 활용하여 초접착성 해양생물에 대한 부착방지 성능을 향상시키고자 하였다. 기존의 개발품들 보다 성능이 향상된 I-PDMS 제조하고자, Nano-indentation을 이용한 기계적 특성 평가, X컷 및 cross-cut을 이용한 부착력 평가, 실제 바다환경에서 해양생물의 부착력 시험, 바다 환경을 모사한 수조에서의 I-PDMS와 비교군 기판에서의 홍합 거동, 홍합과 기판의 접착강도 시험, 해양 미생물 평가를 실시하였으며, 이를 통해서 I-PDMS 성능 및 내구성을 입증하고자 하였다.

  • DME(Dimethyl ether) Dimethyl Ether (DME) is a new clean fuel and an environmental-benign energy resource. In comparison with other fuels, DME rapidly decomposes into carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) and water in the atmosphere without forming ozone. It can be manufactured from various energy sources including natural gas, coal, biomass and spent plastics. In addition to its environmentally friendly properties, DME is considered as one of the most promising candidates for the substitute of LPG and diesel fuel. In this work, we will be studied to find optimized condition for the catalyst of DME energy manufacture from hydrogen and carbon oxide and its chemical and physical characteristics.

  • The existing technological schemes for processing rhenium-containing raw materials involve the recovery of Re from solutions, which can be effectively achieved by anion exchange method. The application of anion exchange also allows to study rhenium state in aqueous solutions and to develop analytical control methods. The present work is focused on investigation of ion exchange equilibrium in the analytical system Re(VII)-HCl-$SnCl_2$-KSCN-anion exchanger by means of sorption-desorption method as well as by electron, IR- and diffuse reflection spectroscopy. It was shown that rhenium can be quantitatively recovered from this system. It is proposed to use the sorption-spectroscopic method for Re(VII) determination in aqueous solutions. The calibration curve is linear in the concentration range of 0.5-20.0 mg/L (sample volume is 25.0 mL) and the detection limit is 0.05 mg/L. The presence of Mo(VI), Cu(II), Fe(II, III), Ni(II), Zn(II) as well as $K^+,\;Na^+$ do not hinder the solid-phase determination of rhenium. Rhenium (VII) determination by diffuse reflection spectroscopy was carried out in model solutions as well as in samples of river-derived water and in solutions obtained after the dissolution of spent catalysts.

  • The nutritional medium requirement for biosurfactant production by Bacillus licheniformis K51 was optimized. The important medium components, identified by the initial screening method of Plackett-Burman, were $H_3PO_4,\;CaCl_2,H_3BO_3$, and Na-EDTA. Box-Behnken response surface methodology was applied to further optimize biosurfactant production. The optimal concentrations for higher production of biosurfactants were (g/l): glucose, $1.1;NaNO_3,\;4.4;MgSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O,\;0.8;KCl,\;0.4;CaCl_2,\;0.27;H_3PO_4,\;1.0ml/l;\;and\;trace elements\;(mg/l):H_3BO_3,\;0.25;CuSO_4,\;0.6;MnSO_4,\;2.2;Na_{2}MoO_4,\;0.5;ZnSO_4,\;6.0;FeSO_4,\;8.0;CoCL_2,\;1.0;$ and Na-EDTA, 30.0. Using this statistical optimization method, the relative biosurfactant yield as critical micelle dilution (CMD) was increased from $10{\times}\;to\;105{\times}$, which is ten times higher than the non-optimized rich medium.

  • To carry out baseline studies on monitoring systems for red tides in Jinhae bay, measurements and analyses were made on seawater samples from 15 sampling stations during 15 months from July, 1979. Water quality parameters studied are temperature, pH, DO, salinity, COD, SS, NO$\sub$3/, NO$\sub$2/, PO$\sub$4/, SiO$\sub$2/, Ca, Mg, Cd, Cu, Pb, Zn, Chlorophyll ${\alpha}$, diatoms and dinoflagellates. Multiple regression analyses were undertaken with chlorophyll ${\alpha}$, cell numbers of diatoms and dinoflagellates as the dependent variables and water quality parameters as the independent variables. The results showed that biomass, expressed as total cell numbers of diatoms and dinoflagellates, was largely influenced by COD, salinity and nutrients.

  • The strain of Aspergillus, 6368A, producing acid protease showing high activity was isolated from soil, as a result of wide research about mold group. This strain was identified as a species of Aspergillus tubingensis by the investigation of morphological characteristics. The change of the enzyme production under the various media and culture condition was also studied. The optimum pH and stability of crude acid protease are 2.5, 2.0~4.5 and the optimum temeprature and thermal inactivation waas shown $50^{\circ}C,\;55^{\circ}C$, respectively. From the result of the study on the effects of metal ions, it was found that $MnCl_2,\;CoCl_2,\;CuCl_2,\;SrCl_2,\;and\;NiCl_2$ slightly increased the enzyme activity, on the other hand $ZnCl_2,\;CaCl_2,\;MgCl_2,\;SLS,\;and\;KMnO_4$ decreased it.

  • 본 연구 목적은 석탄 가스화를 통해 얻어진 합성가스를 이용하여 국내에서 개발된 DME 합성 촉매를 사용하여 DME 전환 공정에 대한 특성을 파악하는 것이다. 특히, DME 합성 반응에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 합성 반응로의 온도 제어를 위하여 thermosyphon 시스템을 개발하여 DME 합성 반응에 최적온도로 알려진 $230{\sim}260^{\cdot}C$ 범위에서 제어가 가능함을 확인 하였다. 석탄 40 kg/h를 공급하였을 때 합성가스 유량은 $80{\sim}100$ $Nm^3/h$ 정도를 얻었다. DME 합성 반응에 사용한 촉매는 합성가스로부터 메탄올을 얻기 위한 촉매와 메탄올의 탈수 촉매(Cu/Zn/Al+r-$Al_2O_3$)를 혼합한 촉매를 사용하였다. DME 합성 반응로의 GHSV(1/kg$^{\cdot}C$cat h)는 $2500{\sim}3000$ 정도이며, 운전 압력 60기압에서 $H_2$ 전환율 $65{\sim}75%$, DME 선택도는 $69{\sim}79%$ 정도를 얻었다.
