The growth kinetics of Streptomyces noursei NRRL 5126 was investigated under different aeration and agitation combinations in a 5.0 l stirred tank fermenter. Poly-${\varepsilon}$-lysine biosynthesis, cell mass formation, and glycerol utilization rates were affected markedly by both aeration and agitation. An agitation speed of 300 rpm and aeration rate at 2.0 vvm supported better yields of 1,622.81 mg/l with highest specific productivity of 15 mg/l.h. Fermentation kinetics performed under different aeration and agitation conditions showed poly- ${\varepsilon}$-lysine fermentation to be a growth-associated production. A constant DO at 40% in the growth phase and 20% in the production phase increased the poly-${\varepsilon}$-lysine yield as well as cell mass to their maximum values of 1,992.35 mg/l and 20.73 g/l, respectively. The oxygen transfer rate (OTR), oxygen utilization rate (OUR), and specific oxygen uptake rates ($qO_2$) in the fermentation broth increased in the growth phase and remained unchanged in the stationary phase.

내충격성 폴리스티렌 (HIPS)의 내충격성에 영향을 주는 중요한 요소 중의 하나는 분산된 고무상 입자의 크기 및 입도분포이다. 본 연구에서는 반응조건이 HIPS의 고무상 입자 크기 및 입도분포에 미치는 영향을 관찰하기 위하여 HIPS를 중합 제조한 다음 고무함량, 교반속도 및 전중합 시간에 따른 고무상 입도분포 및 형태구조를 고찰하였다. 입도분석기로 분석한 결과, 톨루엔을 분산용매로 사용한 경우 열처리 온도가 낮을수록, 열처리 시간이 짧을수록 팽윤의 영향으로 고무상의 평균 입자경이 커졌지만, MEK의 경우에는 열처리 과정이 없어도 보다 합당한 입도분포를 얻을 수 있었다. 고무함량이 증가함에 따라 고무상의 평균 입자경은 뚜렷하게 커졌지만 고무함량이 적은 경우에는 교반속도가 증가하여도 평균 입자경은 그다지 큰 변화를 나타내지 않았다. 하지만 교반속도가 커짐에 따라 고무상 내의 폴리스티렌 포획입자는 크기가 균일해짐을 확인하였다. 또한 전중합시간에 따른 입도분포의 변화를 고찰한 결과 전중합 시간이 길어질수록 보다 작은 입도분포를 얻을수 있었다.

Scale-up experiments for hydrolysis of beef tallow, fat, and palm kernel with lipase derived from Candida cylindracea were carried out in 1-1, 100-1, and 10,000-1 reactors. The optimum agitation speed for the hydrolysis of the 1-1 reactor was investigated and found to be 350rpm, and this was a basis for the scale-up of agitation speed. The hydrolysis system in this work was the oil-water system in which the hydrolysis seems to process a heterogeneous reaction. An emulsion condition was the most important factor for determining the reaction rate of hydrolysis. Therefore, the scale-up of agitation speed was performed by using the power n = 1/3 in an equation of the rules of thumb method. The geometrical similarity for scaling-up turned out to be unsatisfactory in this study. Thus, the working volume per one agitator was used for the scale-up. In the case of scale-up from a 1-1 reactor to a 100-1 reactor, the hydrolysis of palm kernel was very much scaled-up by initiating the rules of thumb method. However, the hydrolysis of fat and beef tallow in a 100-1 reactor was a little higher than that of the 1-1 reactor because of the difference of geometrical similarity. The scale-up of hydrolysis from the 100-1 reactor to the 10,000-1 reactor was improved compared to that of the 1-1 to 100-1 reactor. The present results indicated that the scale-up of hydrolysis in the oil-water system by the rules of thumb method was more satisfactory under the condition of geometrical similarity. Even in the case where geometrical similarity was not satisfactory, the working volume per one agitator could be used for the scale-up of a heterogeneous enzyme reaction.

The effects of various operating parameters(agitation speed, impeller type, antiform agents, impeller spacing etc.) on air-liquid mass transfer was characterized by volumetric mass transfer coefficient($k_La$). Also, the dual-impeller agitated systems are compared with single-impeller agitated systems with a special focus on its applications for bioreactors, $k_La$ was take over a range of 200~450 rpm of agitation speed, and 0.5~2.5 vvm of air flow rates, for four single impeller and impeller combinations consisting of four impeller types, namely rushton, pitched blade, scaba, intermig were tested. The rushton impeller showed the best $k_La$ as compared with other single impellers. The dual impeller system are found to be superior as compared to single impeller in all aspects, The best combination of the dual impeller was a intermig of axial flow type as an upper impeller and a rushton of radial flow type as a lower part. Also, the control of the DO level with the variation of agitation speed was more efficient than that with an increase in air flow rate. The addition of antiform dropped the $k_La$ very large up to 1g/L regardless the type. PPG was less effect on $k_La$ than other antiforms. The impeller spacing and presence of solute are found very effective on $k_La$. When the $NaNO_3$is presented as solute, the $k_La$ increased approximately 50% then control.

본 연구에서는 Pd/C 촉매를 이용하여 무수말레인산(maleic anhydride) 수용액상에서 수소화 반응을 통해 호박산(succinic acid) 합성을 진행하였으며, 그에 따른 최적 공정 조건을 도출하고자 하였다. 반응 온도 및 반응시간에 따른 호박산 순도의 차이는 크지 않았으나 압력과 교반속도가 증가함에 따라 불순물의 생성이 줄고, 호박산의 순도가 증가함을 확인하였다. 실험 결과 본 수소화 반응에서는 압력과 교반속도가 기체-액체 간 물질전달저항을 감소시켜 반응속도를 증가시킬 수 있는 가장 중요한 변수임을 확인하였으며 이에 따라 압력과 교반속도에 대한 반응속도를 구하였다. 반응압력이 5 bar에서 10 bar로 2배 증가 시, 반응속도는 2.14배 증가하였으며 교반속도가 300 rpm에서 700 rpm으로 2배 증가 시, 반응속도는 2.36배 증가함을 확인할 수 있었다.

티오요소 용출용액에 Fe 분말을 첨가하여 silver를 침전법으로 회수하고자하였다. Fe 분말 첨가량, 교반속도, 온도 등과 같은 변수들을 조사하였다. Silver 침전율은 Fe 분말 첨가량, 교반속도 그리고 온도가 증가할수록 증가하였다. 가장 많은 silver 침전율이 나타나는 조건은 Fe 분말 첨가량이 10 g일 때, 교반속도가 500 rpm일 때 였다. Silver 침전율은 Arrhenius 공식에 따라 온도가 증가할수록 증가하였으며, 1차-반응식에 준하여 일어났다. 이들 자료로부터 구한 활성 에너지는 13.73 KJ/mol에서 17.02 KJ/mol이였다. 침전물에 대하여 XRD분석을 수행한 결과 침철석이 검출되었다. 이는 $Fe^0$ 분말 첨가로 인하여 티오요소 용액에서 산화-환원반응이 일어났음을 지시해주는 것이다.

The conventional methods for total residual chlorine such as iodometry and DPD colorimetric can cause secondary pollution due to additional agents, also have a wide error range. As for alternative, electrochemical method can measure TRC(Total residual chlorine), and is not required as additional agents, also very suitable for using the fields of ballast water because test time is relatively fast. Therefore, this study was investigated for changing charge by agitation, salt concentration, and temperature change. Charge showed differences based on changes of reduction peak with or without agitation. In contrast, TRC and charge were well correlated in constant agitation speed. As TRC and charge were analyzed with high correlations in constant salinity and temperature of ocean, thereby conductivity was firstly measured, and charge had high correlation for TRC in spite of changing salinity and temperature Pt electrode revealed high reliability ($r^2=0.960$) because it was rarely effected by TRC, On the other hand, Au electrode appeared inadequate ($r^2=0.767$) to use sensor in less than 1.0 ppm of TRC. For high accuracy and detection of TRC, Pt and Au electrodes for test time were, respectively, 14 and 22 seconds. As a result, Pt electrode was more valuable than Au electrode in terms of response time.

In order to develop a method of economical production and to reduce energy-consumption in fuel alcohol production, we investigated the fermentation characters of two newly selected thermotolerant yeasts. The RA-74-2 showed stable and superior fermentability between 30 and $40^{\circ}C$ in 20% glucose media in comparison to the industrial strains. The optimum concentration of glucose for economical fermentation at $40^{\circ}C$ was 15-18%, and organic nitrogen was necessary for a satisfactory fermentation. The optimum pH was 4.0 and aeration was adversed for high temperature fermentation. Agitation was an important factor at $40^{\circ}C$ and the addition of magnesium ion 0.2% was required in this experiment. When the inoculum was increased, ethanol productivity as well as the speed of fermentation increased. On the other hand RA-912, which can grow at $48^{\circ}C$, showed similar fermentability between 30-$45^{\circ}C$ in 20% glucose media As the concentration of substrate decreased, fermentation ratio increased at $45^{\circ}C$ (45%, 65%, 95% fermentation ratio in 20%, 15%, 10% glucose media, respectively). Also, requirement of organic nitrogen and magnesium ion in RA-912 was similar in RA-74-2. The optimum pH for fermentation was 5.0, and the effects of agitation were enhanced at $37^{\circ}C$ than at $45^{\circ}C$. As the inoculum was increased, fermentation speed became more enhanced but the ethanol productivity was less affected. RA-912 showed fermentability with various substrates. Among the substrates used, inulin was the most promising substrate for the high-temperature fermentation. When 14.5% inulin was used as the substrate, 93% and 55% fermentation ratios were shown at $37^{\circ}C$ and $45^{\circ}C$, respectively.
