This study was carried out to prepare high porosity pulp for oil and air filter media from commercial grade NBKP with 6 - 20% NaOH treatment. The fiber width of NBKP remarkably decreased by NaOH pretreatment. The air permeability of the test sheet prepared from alkali-pretreated NBKP increased with increasing NaOH concentration up to 15%. The burst factor was greatly decreased by alkali pretreatment. By 15 - 20% NaOH pretreatment of NBKP, it could be possible to prepare a high porosity pulp. It seems that the high porosity of the pulp was due to a strong swelling and a great change of the cellulose crystalline lattice from cellulose I to cellulose II with NaOH treatment of NBKP. The study suggested that alkali- pretreated NBKP could be used for manufacturing oil and air filter media.

To reduce ammonia-like odor in chondroitin sulfate, longnose skate (Rasa rhina) cartilage was processed by washing, autoclaving, and alkali pretreatments. Content of total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N), index of ammonia-like odor, of raw skate cartilage without pretreatment was 254 mg/100 g, whereas those of skate cartilage pretreated with washing and autoclaving increased to 630 and 636 mg/100 g, respectively. TVB-N of skate cartilage pretreated with sodium hydroxide sharply decreased to 15 mg/l00 g at optimal condition of 0.12 M and 3.6 volume of NaOH, as determined by surface response methodology of central composite design for optimization. Alkali pretreatment resulted in 97.6% deodorizing. Washing and autoclaving pretreatments had almost no effect on the yield of chondroitin sulfate (approximately 30%), whereas decreased to 16.0% after alkali pretreatment, showing chondroitin sulfate of skate cartilage as chondroitin sulfate C.

The optimum alkali pretreatment parameters (reaction time, reaction temperature and potassium hydroxide concentration) for facilitate the conversion into fermentable sugar (glucose) from steam exploded (severity log Ro 2.45) barley husk were determined using Response Surface Methodology (RSM) based on a factorial Central Composite Design (CCD). The prediction of the response was carried out by a second-order polynomial model and regression analysis revealed that more than 88% of the variation can be explained by the models. The optimum conditions for maximum cellulose content were determined to be 201 min reaction time, $124^{\circ}C$ reaction temperature and 0.9% potassium hydroxide concentration. This data shows that the actual value obtained was similar to the predicted value calculated from the model. The pretreated barley husk using acid hydrolysis resulted in a glucose conversion of 94.6%. This research of steam explosion and alkali pretreatment was a promising method to improve cellulose-rich residue for lignocellulosic biomass.

Cattail (Typha L.) was used as a raw material for producing both bio-ethanol and pulp for papermaking at the same time. Pretreatments of cattail stems and leaves with acid ($H_2SO_4$) and alkali (NaOH) in three different addition levels were studied before soda pulping. The acid pretreatment gave reducing sugar of 15.2% of initial weight, but alkali pretreatment close to 1%. Soda pulping of the pretreated cattail gave 3% reduction in pulp yield and less bonding properties in paper; however, refining of the pulp from the pretreated cattail with alkali restored their fiber bondings up to that of the pulp from no-pretreated cattail at equivalent freeness.

Various mechanical and chemical pretreatment methods including alkali treatment, pre-beating, enzyme treatment and oxidation treatment have been used to reduce the production energy of the microfibrillated cellulose (MFC). Among them, alkali swelling can be helpful to reduce the energy consumption because the internal bonding between fibrils could be weakened. In this study, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) was used as a cosolvent to improve alkali pretreatment efficiency and the effects of NaOH concentration during NaOH-DMSO swelling on changes in fiber characteristics of softwood bleached kraft pulp (SwBKP) were elucidated. For alkali treatment in H2O-DMSO solvents, fiber length were decreased with increasing NaOH concentration while fiber width, curl and WRV were increased. WRV began to increase at 8% NaOH solution. In addition, above 8% concentration of NaOH, crystalline structure of pulp fibers converted from cellulose II to cellulose III by DMSO cosolvent. Comparing the previous results with this study, it was shown that DMSO cosolvent could promote swelling of pulp fibers and thus reduce NaOH concentration for the maximum swelling of fibers.

Pretreatment of eliminating FFA is needed to make biodiesel from animal fat recovered from leather wastes because its acid value is high. This study was carried out to investigate the influence of 4 different pretreatment methods, which are heterogeneous catalyst method, ion exchange resin method, low pressure.high temperature method, and alkali method on the eliminating FFA and fatty acid composition. The results showed that the rate of eliminating FFA increased in the order of alkali method > catalyst method > low pressure high temperature method > ion exchange method. In the case of pretreatment of alkali method using NaOH, the rate of eliminating FFA appeared more than 86% regardless of acid value. Therefore, it was considered that alkali method using NaOH was the most effective in the view of economical and productive aspects, taking it into account that the acid value of animal fat recovered from fleshing scrap generated during leather making processes was 7 to 8.

As polysaccharides in lignocellulosic materials are encrusted with aromatic lignin molecules and have high crystallinity, these require pretreatment to improve their digestability by cellulolytic enzymes. Though a number of pretreatment methods have been proposed, the steam explosion process is evaluated as a promising method. This study was performed to investigate the effect of delignification treatment by alkali, methanol and the others on the enzymatic hydrolysis. Delignification treatment resulted in great increase rate in enzymatic hydrolysis. Concerning to the effect of delignication reagents on the enzymatic hydrolysis, methanol treatment was more effective than alkali in the case of oak wood. In pine wood, the delignification did not showed any significant enhancement of hydrolysis rate. Complete delignification by Alkali-Oxygen. Alkali treatment showed high saccharification rate of 99.5%.

본 연구는 화학적 전처리 공정이 목질계 바이오매스의 효소 가수분해에 미치는 영향을 구명할 목적으로 이태리포플러 분말을 1% 황산과 수산화나트륨 수용액을 이용하여 각각 $150^{\circ}C$와 $160^{\circ}C$에서 한 시간 동안 전처리를 실시하였다. 전처리된 시료는 건조과정을 거친 시료와 건조과정을 거치치 않은 시료로 각각 구분하여 화학적, 물리적 성상 및 효소 당화 효율에 미치는 영향을 비교, 분석하였다. 황산 전처리에 의한 바이오매스의 분해율은 약 24.5%로 수산화나트륨 전처리에 의한 분해율(18.6%)보다 약 6% 이상 높게 측정되었다. 반면, 탈리그닌화는 수산화나트륨이 우수하여 황산을 이용한 전처리보다 약 2% 가량 높게 나타났다. 결정화도는 미처리 시료와 비교하였을 때 황산과 수산화나트륨으로 전처리한 시료 모두 다소 높은 값을 나타내었는데, 이는 전처리 과정에서 비결정성 셀룰로오스가 결정영역보다 선택적으로 분해됨으로서 나타난 결과로 예측되었다. 주사전자현미경에 의한 표면 미세구조 관찰 결과, 황산, 수산화나트륨 전처리 모두 구성 성분들을 분해함으로써 목질바이오매스의 표면을 미처리 시료보다 거칠게 만들고 부분적인 균열을 발생시키는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 그러나 황산 전처리-건조 시료에서는 이러한 표면 거칠음이 대조구와 유사하게 다시 변화하였음을 관찰하였다. 시료 표면의 기공분포는 두가지 전처리 과정 모두를 통해 크게 증가하였음을 확인하였다. 그러나 수산화나트륨에 의해 전처리된 시료는 건조과정을 거친 경우에도 기공분포가 점차적으로 증가하는 경향을 보였지만, 황산으로 전처리한 시료는 건조과정을 거치면서 전처리에 의해 증가한 기공 분포가 다시 급격히 감소하여 미처리 시료와 유사한 기공분포를 나타내었다. 황산 전처리 후 건조과정을 거친 시료와 미건조 시료는 효소가수분해에 의한 소화율이 각각 7.0%와 26.9%로 측정된 반면, 수산화나트륨 전처리 후 건조된 시료와 미건조시료는 각각 39.7%와 45.8%로 나타나 알칼리에 의한 전처리가 산 전처리보다 소화율 향상을 위해 더 우수하였으며, 이러한 높은 소화율은 당화 효율에도 커다란 영향을 미치는 것으로 판명되었다. 아울러 전처리된 바이오매스의 건조는 소화율 및 당화 수율에 지대한 영향을 미친다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

Sputter 방식으로 증착된 구리 seed 층(구리 seed/Ti/Si) 위에 형성된 오염물 제거과정을 이해하기 위하여, 강력한 계면 활성능력을 가진 약알칼리 탈지제 Metex TS-40A 용액을 사용하여 담금(dipping) 시간에 따른 구리 seed 층 표면의 변화형상 및 변화상태를 조사 분석하였다. Field emission scanning electron microscope을 이용하여 TS-40A 용액에 전처리 후 구리 seed 표면 형상이 grain이 명확히 보일 정도로 변화하는 것을 관찰하였고, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy를 이용하여 표면 처리된 Cu seed 표면의 화학구조 및 불순물 상태를 조사하였다. TS-40 용액에서의 dipping 시간 변화에 따른 효과는 거의 없었다. TS-40A 용액에 전처리한 후, 구리 seed 층 표면위의 많은 탄소성분이 제거되었고, 약간의 산소가 제거되었으며, O=C 및 $Cu(OH)_2$에 해당되는 피크들이 감소되는 것이 관측되었다. 하지만 표면에서 불순물 Si이 silicate 상태로 검출되었다. TS-40A 용액에 포함되어 있는 silicate 성분이 구리 seed 층과 반응하여 이 silicate 불순물이 구리 seed 표면에 형성된 것으로 보여진다. 약알칼리 탈지제 Metex TS-40A 용액을 사용한 전처리 과정을 통해, 구리 seed 표면 위의 O=C 및 $Cu(OH)_2$ 등의 제거에는 탁월한 효과를 보였으나, 불순물 silicate가 형성되었으므로 이 알칼리 탈지제를 사용한다면, 이후에 산세정 및 다른 세정과정을 거쳐 표면에 존재하는 silicate를 제거할 필요성이 있다.
