In this paper, the effects of ethanol blended gasoline on emissions and their catalytic conversion efficiency characteristics were investigated in a multiple-point EFI gasoline engine, The results show that with the increase of ethanol concentration in the blended fuels, THC emissions were drastically reduced by up to thirty percent, And brake specific fuel consumption was increased, but brake specific energy consumption could be improved. However, unburned ethanol and acetaldehyde emissions increased. Pt/Rh based three-way catalysts were effective to reduce acetaldehyde emissions, but had low catalytic conversion efficiency for unburned ethanol. The effect of ethanol on CO and NOx emissions and their catalytic conversion efficiency had close relation to the engine's speed, load and air/fuel ratio. Furthermore fuels blended with thirty percent ethanol by volume could dramatically reduced THC CO and NOx emissions at idle speed.

Interactions between the acetonitrile and other organic molecules such as furan, pyrrole, pyrrolidine, thiophene, tetrahydrothiophene and acetaldehyde was studied with the infrared absorption spectroscopy under matrix isolation conditions. Xe was used as a major matrix material. Acetonitrile showed strong interactions with pyrrole and thiophene, and little interactions with pyrrolidine and acetaldehyde.

For a characterization of the pretreated waste automotive catalyst the following analysis techniques were applied : EA(Elemental Analysis) BET(Brunaure-Emmett-Teller) and ICP-AES(Inductively Coupled Plasma-Atomic Emission Spectrometry). The combustion activity of waste automotive catalyst was investigated for methanol acetaldehyde and toluene as model VOCs in a fixed bed reactor. carbon deposit amount was decreased with increasing catalyst showed a good catalytic activity for VOCs combustion at 40$0^{\circ}C$. Catalytic activity for methanol acetaldehyde and toluence combustion was very excellent and decreased with mileage. The catalytic activity of a waste automotive catalyst for methanol combustion increased after acid treatment. The acid effect of catalytic activity was summarized as follows: HNO3>HCI>H2SO4>CH3COOH. The waste automotive catalyst regenerated by the pretreatment method might have a excellent catalytic activity for VOCs combustion.

Hansenula nonfermentans KYP-l was selected and identified from 19 methanol utilizing yeasts isolated from soil samples by the enrichment culture technique. This strain showed a high cell concentration and a high aldehyde production. Aldehyde production was carried out in a resting cell system using methanol utilizing yeast as a biocatalyst. The molar yield of acetaldehyde was the highest among the aldehyde investigated, and the maximum amount of aldehyde was produced by cells obtained from a 40 hours' culture.

Alcohol dehydrogenase activity of Clostridium acetobutylicum ATCC 4259 was studied for its specificity against substrates in acidogenic and solventogenic cultures. The bacterium reduces propionate, valerate and caproate added to the medium to the corresponding alcohols. Acetaldehyde, propionaldehyde, butyraldhyde, pentanal, and hexanal were used as the substrates by alcohol dehydrogenase, and all were reduced to the corresponding alcohols with varying affinities and reaction velocities. Acetaldehyde showed the lowest affinity and lowest velocity while the other aldehydes showed similar $K_m\;and\;V_max$ values. NADPH was used as the electron donor for the reduction of aldehydes. Alcohol dehydrogenase activity was low in acidogenic culture, and high in solventogenic culture.

Hangover is associated with ethanol metabolism in body after the ingestion of an alcoholic beverage. Especially. The metabolism in liver is forcused by many researcher because, alcohol (approximately 90％) is metabolized by the liver. Ethanol metabolism in liver involves both liver alcohol dehydrogenase(ADH) which actalyzes the oxidation of ethanol to acetaldehyde, and liver aldehyde dehydrogenase(ALDH) which metabilized rapidly acetaldehyde, product of ethanol oxidation, to acetate.

Empty fruit bunch (EFB) char was used to remove $NO_x$ and odorous substances. The physicochemical properties of the EFB chars were altered by steam or KOH treatments. The Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area and porosity were measured to determine the properties of the modified EFB chars. The $deNO_x$ and adsorption test for hydrogen sulphide and acetaldehyde were performed to determine the feasibility of the modified EFB chars. The KOH-treated EFB (KEFB) char revealed higher $deNO_x$ efficiency than with commercial activated carbon. The Cu-impregnated EFB char also had high $deNO_x$ efficiency at temperatures higher than $150^{\circ}C$. The KEFB char showed the highest hydrogen sulphide and acetaldehyde adsorption ability, followed by the steam-treated EFB char and untreated EFB char. Moreover, the product prepared by sulfonation of EFB char showed excellent performance for esterification of palm fatty acid distillate for biodiesel production.

The effects of Sacchromyces cerevisiae-Fermented Artemisiae Argi Folium Water extract (AFS) on Nitric oxide production from mouse macrophage Raw 264.7 cells treated with EtOH, gallic acid, Nicotine, Acetaminophen, and Acetaldehyde were investigated through this study. AFS (0, 10, 50, 100, 200, 400 ug/mL) was simultaneously treated with EtOH (100 uM), gallic acid (100 uM), Nicotine (1 mM), Acetaminophen (2 mM), and Acetaldehyde (200 uM). And Nitric oxide production from Raw 264.7 cells was measured by Griess reagent method. AFS restorated the cellular production of Nitric oxide reduced by EtOH, gallic acid, Nicotine, and Acetaminophen in Raw 264.7 cells. AFS could be supposed to have the immuno-modulating activity concerned with macrophage's production of Nitric oxide.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of water extract from Artemisiae Argi Folium Fermented with Lactobacillus pentosus (AFL) on hydrogen peroxide production within mouse macrophage Raw 264.7 Cells treated with gallic acid, EtOH, Nicotine, Acetaminophen, and Acetaldehyde. AFL (0${\sim}$400 ug/mL) was treated with gallic acid, EtOH, Nicotine, Acetaminophen, and Acetaldehyde. And the intracellular productions of hydrogen peroxide were measured by dihydrorhodamine 123 (DHR) assay. AFL showed the restoration of the intracellular productions of hydrogen peroxide which were reduced by gallic acid, EtOH, Nicotine, Acetaminophen in Raw 264.7 Cells. AFL could be supposed to have the immunological activity related with macrophage's oxidative burst.
