A colorimetric paper sensor was used to detect volatile nitrogen-containing compounds emitted from spoiled salmon filets to determine their freshness. The sensing mechanism was based on acid-base reactions between acidic pH-indicating dyes and basic volatile ammonia and amines. A sensing layer was simply fabricated by drop-casting a dye solution of bromocresol green (BCG) on a polyvinylidene fluoride substrate, and its color-change response was enhanced by optimizing the amounts of additive chemicals, such as polyethylene glycol, p-toluene sulfonic acid, and graphene oxide in the dye solution. To avoid the adverse effects of water vapor, both faces of the sensing layer were enclosed by using a polyethylene terephthalate film and a gas-permeable microporous polytetrafluoroethylene sheet, respectively. When exposed to basic gas analytes, the paper-like sensor distinctly exhibited a color change from initially yellow, then to green, and finally to blue due to the deprotonation of BCG via the Brønsted acid-base reaction. The use of ammonia analyte as a test gas confirmed that the sensing performance of the optimized sensor was reversible and excellent (detection time of < 15 min, sensitive naked-eye detection at 0.25 ppm, good selectivity to common volatile organic gases, and good stability against thermal stress). Finally, the coloration intensity of the sensor was quantified as a function of the storage time of the salmon filet at 28℃ to evaluate its usefulness in monitoring of the food freshness with the measurement of the total viable count (TVC) of microorganisms in the food. The TVC value increased from 3.2 × 10⁵ to 3.1 × 10⁹ cfu/g in 28 h and then became stable, whereas the sensor response abruptly changed in the first 8 h and slightly increased thereafter. This result suggests that the colorimetric response could be used as an indicator for evaluating the degree of decay of salmon induced by microorganisms.

본 연구는 대기중의 질소산화물($NO_x$)을 효율적으로 제거하기 위하여 기존의 방법을 개선한 것으로서, $NH_3$를 이용한 환원법을 개량하였다. 상대습도 60%에서 50 ppm의 $NO_x$는 1% hr-1의 분해율을 나타낸 반면 5배 이상의 $NH_3$를 첨가함으로써 50 ppm $NO_x$인 경우에는 6% $hr^{-1}$, 20ppm인 경우는 10% $hr^{-1}$의 제거율을 나타내었다. 그러나 실제 배기기체에서는 과량의 수분과 탄화수소나 일산화탄소같은 환원성 기체가 포함되고 미량의 금속이온들이 공존되므로 최고 15% $hr^{-1}$까지 $NO_x$의 제거가 촉진되었다. 또한 SO_2와 같은 산성기체의 공존은 분해율을 감소시켰다. 이 $NO_x$의 분해현상은 주로 계에 가해진 수증기의 응축으로 생긴 수막에 NO_x가 용해되는 동시에 염기성인 $NH_3$기체도 용해되어 이루어진 이들 이온들의 환원반응에 기인된다고 생각된다.

산 매질 조건에서 다양한 할로겐산화물을 이용하여 황 원소를 포함한 유기물(thiourea, methionine)과 무기물(sulfate, thiophosphate)의 산화에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 산화반응의 최적조건은 3 M 질산용액 매질에서 bromate (${BrO_3}^-$)를 산화제로 사용했을 때 얻어졌다. 유기 황 화합물인 thiourea에서는 100%의 산화 수율을 확인하였으며, methionine을 사용한 결과는 87%이었다. 또한 무기 황 화합물인 thiophosphate와 sulfate의 산화는 각각 80%와 100%의 산화 수율을 얻었으며, 5%의 상대표준표차(RSD)가 있음을 확인하였다. Thiourea의 산화는 1.6배의 bromate가 필요하였으며, methionine과 thiophosphate의 경우에는 20배 이상이 필요함을 관찰하였다. 황산염 이온은 황산 바륨($BaSO_4$)으로 침전을 확보하였으며, 이때 얻어진 방사성 황산 바륨($Ba^{35}SO_4$)은 기체비례계수기(gas proportional counter, GPC)을 이용하여 정량적으로 측정하였다. $^{35}S$ 계측을 위한 소광보정곡선은 무게 차이를 이용하여 작성되었다.

Commercial activated-carbon used as the electrode material of an electric double-layer capacitor (EDLC) was posttreated with various acids and alkalis to increase its capacitance. The carbon samples prepared were then heat-treated in order to control the amount of acidic functional groups formed by the acid treatments. Coin-type EDLC cells with two symmetric carbon electrodes were assembled using the prepared carbon materials and an organic electrolyte. The electrochemical performance of the EDLC was measured by galvanostatic charge-discharge, cyclic voltammetry, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Among the various activated carbons, the carbon electrodes (CSsb800) prepared by the treatments of coconutshell-based carbon activated with NaOH and $H_3BO_5$, and then heat treated at $800^{\circ}C$ under a flow of nitrogen gas, showed relatively good electrochemical performance. Although the specific-surface-area of the carbon-electrode material ($1,096m^2/g$) was less than that of pristine activated-carbon ($1,122m^2/g$), the meso-pore volume increased after the combined chemical and heat treatments. The specific capacitance of the EDLC increased from 59.6 to 74.8 F/g (26%) after those post treatments. The equivalent series resistance of EDLC using CSsb800 as electrode was much lower than that of EDLC using pristine activated carbon. Therefore, CSsb800 exhibited superior electrochemical performance at high scan rates due to its low internal resistance.

Nanostructured oxides are widely used in heterogeneous catalysis where their catalytic properties are closely associated with the size and morphology at nanometer level. The effect of particle size has been well decumented in the past two decades, but the shape of the nanoparticles has rarely been concerned. Here we illustrate that the redox and acidic-basic properties of oxides are largely dependent on their shapes by taking $Co_3O_4$, $Fe_2O_3$, $CeO_2$ and $La_2O_3$ nanorods as typical examples. The catalytic activities of these rod-shaped oxides are mainly governed by the nature of the exposed crystal planes. For instance, the predominant presence of {110} planes which are rich in active $Co^{3+}$ on $Co_3O_4$ nanorods led to a much higher activity for CO oxidation than the nanoparticles that mainly exposed the {111} planes. The simultaneous exposure of iron and oxygen ions on the surface of $Fe_2O_3$ nanorods have significantly enhanced the adsorption and activation of NO and thereby promoted the efficiency of DeNOx process. Moreover, the exposed surface planes of these rod-shaped oxides mediated the reaction performance of the integrated metal-oxide catalysts. Au/$CeO_2$ catalysts exhibited outstanding stability under water-gas shift conditions owing to the strong bonding of gold particle on the $CeO_2$ nanorods where the formed gold-ceria interface was resistant towards sintering. Cu nanoparticles dispersed on $La_2O_3$ nanorods efficiently catalyzed transfer dehydrogenation of primary aliphatic alcohols based on the uniue role of the exposed {110} planes on the support. Morphology control at nanometer level allows preferential exposure of the catalytically active sites, providing a new stragegy for the design of highly efficient nanostructured catalysts.

In order to investigate the origin of sulfate in rain waters and to evaluate the feasibility of using sulfur isotope method as a tracer of atmospheric pollutants, the sulfur isotopic ratio of sulfate in rain waters collected in Chonju city from October 1994 to March 1995 was monitored and was compared with those of possible sources proposed by previous works. The pH of rain waters shows an intermediate acidic range from 4.45 to 6.88 and their daily variation appears to be well correlated with to the amount of precipitation. The sulfur isotopic ratios of sulfate in rain waters show a highly restricted range from 0.0 to + 1.8‰. The ${\delta}^{34}S$ values are similar to those of soil and pine tree surrounding Chonju city, but largely deviate from those of China. D-parameter($d={\delta}D-8{\delta}^{18}O$) of rain waters varies from 9.4 to 28.8. The values indicate that the rain waters in Chonju city are originated from the rainy front of China continent. All data obtained from this study suggested that sulfate in the rain waters collected in Chonju city was mainly derived from the sulfur dioxide gas emitted by the petroleum combustion. Therefore, sulfur isotopic study for the precipitation provided an excellent tool for environmental assessment in this region and for tracing the source of atmospheric pollutants.

Andropogon gayanus is an important grass due to its high biomass production, drought tolerance and favorable growth on low fertility acidic soils. Currently, there is little research on the impact of growth stage on the nutritional quality or the degree of $CH_4$ production that may arise from this forage during ruminal fermentation. The objectives of this study were to determine the effects of regrowth stage of A. gayanus on its chemical composition, in vitro production of gas and CH4, as well as in vitro dry matter (DM) digestibility when grown under tropical Brazilian conditions and conserved as hay or as silage. The nutritional value of A. gayanus grass declined with increasing maturity; however digestible DM yield linearly increased. After 112 d of regrowth, A. gayanus produced higher quality silage (higher lactate and lower pH and butyrate content) and higher DM yield. However, the low levels of crude protein at this time would make protein supplementation a necessity for proper rumen fermentation. No differences in $CH_4$ kinetic parameters were found with advancing maturity or preservation method (hay or silage).

습식제련 기술을 통한 Ga의 재활용을 위해 고결정성 GaN으로 구성되어 있는 LED 공정스크랩의 침출 거동을 연구하였다. 고결정성 GaN은 산성 및 염기성 조건에서 매우 안정하여 침출이 어려운 물질로 알려져 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 볼밀링을 통해 원료와 $Na_2CO_3$를 1:1 비율로 섞은 후 관상로를 이용해 $1000-1200^{\circ}C$에서 열처리 하여 산화물로의 상변화를 유도하였다. 열처리 결과로써, $1100^{\circ}C$에서 GaN은 약 73 wt%의 Ga을 포함하는 산화물로 상변화 되었다. 이러한 열처리 샘플은 $100^{\circ}C$ 4 M HCl에서 96%의 높은 침출률을 나타냈다.
