In this research, we have developed a manufacturing process for seawater salt by horizontal spray drying technique using the deep ocean water and seaweed(sea tangle). Deep ocean water, strong acidic electrolyzed water and strong alkaline electrolyzed water were used as extraction solvent of seaweed. Sodium content in seaweed extract solution by strong alkaline electrolyzed water was 1.63(mg/g), which was 3.5 times lower than of seaweed extract by strong acidic electrolyzed water. Major mineral content(Na, K, Ca) in seawater salt by deep ocean water were higher than strong acidic electrolyzed water and strong alkaline electrolyzed water. On the contrary, Mg contents in seawater salt by deep ocean water were lower than strong acidic electrolyzed water and strong alkaline electrolyzed water. Based on the results of seawater salt production using seaweed, it is possible to make law-salt efficiently.

포도박과 같은 쥬기성 폐기물의 퇴비화에서 효소활성도가 퇴비의 안정성 혹은 부숙도를 나타내는 지표로서의 사용가능성이 있는지를 검증하기 위해 $\beta$-glucosidase, cellobiohydrolase 및 alkaline phosphatase의 활성도를 측정하였다. 측정한 모든 효소가 퇴비화초기에 최대의 활성도를 나타냈는데 이는 포도박에 잔류해있던 분해가 용이한 유기물질과 관련이 있는 것으로 추정되며 그 후 활성도는 점차감소하였다. 그러나 퇴비화 60일이 경과한 후에 $\beta$-glucosidase와 cellobiohydrolase활성도는 다시 급격히 상승했고 alkaline phosphatase의 활성도는 큰 변화를 나타내지 않았다. 퇴비화 후반기에 나타나는 이와 같은 효소활성도의 증가는 퇴비의 안정성을 나타내는 하나의 지표로 사용할 수 있음을 시사해 준다.

The effect of alkaline pre-treatment on the solubilization of waste activated sludge(WAS) was investigated, and the biodegradability of WAS, pretreated WAS, [PWAS], food waste and two types of mixture were estimated by biochemical methane potential [BMP] test at $35^{\circ}C$. The biodegradability of PWAS and mixture waste were significantly improved due to the effect of alkaline hydrolysis of WAS. An alkaline pre-treatment was identified to be one of the useful pre-treatment for improving biodegradability of WAS and mixture waste. In high-rate anaerobic co-digestion system coordinate with an alkaline pre-treatment in process, the digesters were operated at the HRT of 5, 7, 10 and 13 days with a mixture of FW $50\%\;and\;PWAS\;50\%,\;$In term of $CH_4$ content, VS removal and specific methane production [SMP] which are the parameters in the performance of digester, the optimum operating condition was found to be a HRT of 7 days and a OLR of 4.20g/L-day with the highest SMP of 0.340 L $CH_4/g$ VS.

A phytase from Aeromonas sp. LIK 1-5 was partially purified by ammonium sulfate precipitation and DEAE-Sephacel column chromatography. Its molecular weight was 44 kDa according to SDS-PAGE gel. Enzyme activity was optimal at pH 7 and at $50^{\circ}C$. The purified enzyme was strongly inhibited by 2 mM EDTA, $Zn^{2+},\;Co^{2+},\;or\;Mn^{2+}$, and activated by 2 mM $Ca^{2+}$. The K_m value for sodium phytate was 0.23 mM, and the enzyme was resistant to trypsin. The N-terminal amino acid sequence of the phytase was similar to that of other known alkaline phytases. The phytase was specific for ATP and sodium phytate, which is different from other known alkaline phytases. Based on the substrate specificity, the phytase may therefore be a novel alkaline phytase.

This study focuses on the development of an alkaline leaching hydrometallurgy process for the recovery of tungsten from WC/Co hardmetal sludge, and an examination of the effect of the process parameters on tungsten recovery. The alkaline leaching hydrometallurgy process has four stages, i.e., oxidation of the sludge, leaching of tungsten by NaOH, refinement of the leaching solution, and precipitation of tungsten. The WC/Co hardmetal sludge oxide consists of $WO_3$ and $CoWO_4$. The leaching of tungsten is most affected by the leaching temperature, followed by the NaOH concentration and the leaching time. About 99% of tungsten in the WC/Co hardmetal sludge is leached at temperatures above $90^{\circ}C$ and a NaOH concentration above 15%. For refinement of the leaching solution, pH control of the solution using HCl is more effective than the addition of $Na_2S{\cdot}9H_2O$. The tungsten is precipitated as high-purity $H_2WO_4{\cdot}H_2O$ by pH control using HCl. With decreasing pH of the solution, the tungsten recovery rate increases and then decrease. About 93% of tungsten in the WC/Co hardmetal sludge is recovered by the alkaline leaching hydrometallurgy process.

An alkaline lipase producing bacteria was isolated from soil and identified as Serratia liquefaciens AL-11. from the results of analysis of its morphological, biochemical and physiological properties. This strain showed the highest productivity of alkaline lipase when grown at pH 9.0 and 30$\circ$C for 42 hours in the medium of 1% peptone, 0.5% tryptone, 0.9% yeast extract, 1% starch, 1% tween 80, 0.05% CaCl$_{2}$ and 0.05% NaCl. The enzyme was purified by ammonium sulfate treatment, Sephadex G-100 gel filtration and DEAE-Sephadex A-50 column chromatography. The specific activity of the purified enzyme was 27 unit/mg protein and the yield of enzyme activity was 61.3%. The homogeneity of the purified enzyme was verified by polyacrylamide gel disc electrophoresis. Molecular weight of the purified enzyme was estimated about 53,000 by sodium dodecyl sulfate- polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. This enzyme is composed of 17 amino acids of which glycine, proline and glutamic acid were three miajor acids.

A comparison of alkali metal cation and alkaline earth cation solvent extraction was made for three additional monoionizable crown ethers and one diionizable crown ether. sym-(n-Octyldibenzo)-16-crown-5-oxyacetic acid $\underline{1}$ exhibited high efficiency and selecvity in solvent extraction of alkali metal cations with respect to that observed with alkaline earth cations. Sizes of $Na^+$ and $Ca^{2+}$ appropriately match with the cavity size of monoethyl sym-bis[4(5)-tert-butylbenzo]-16-crown-5-oxymethylphosphonic acid $\underline{3}$. As the result, $Na^+$ and $Ca^{2+}$ are the best extracted. sym-(n-Octyldibenzo)-16-crown-5-oxymethyldiphosphonic acid $\underline{4}$was found to be somewhat selective for $Na^+$ over $Li^+$ and other alkaline earth metal cations. In the complexation of alklaine earth cations by crown ether diphosphonic acid $\underline{4}$, $Ca^{2+}$ and $Sr^{2+}$ are the appropriate sizes, but lager $Ba^{2+}$ may be due to favorable formation of a sandwich type complex between the crown ether cavity and the dianion of the deprotonated crown ether phoaphonic acid moiety.

The level of serum alkaline phosphatase activity was determined in 7 Japanese Black steers at different ages. The isoenzyme activity of non-bone origin was estimated using a heat-inactivation technique. The activity of serum alkaline phosphatase (SALP, K-A unit) decreased as age (AGE, mo.) increased: SALP = 14.15 - 0.17 (${\pm}\;0.03$) AGE, r = -0.81, P<0.01, $S.E.\;{\pm}\;0.28$. The variation of the activity was greater in younger age than the older. The temperature of $58^{\circ}C$ for the treatment of heat inactivation of bovine serum appeared to be suitable. The percentage of heat inactivated enzyme activity negatively correlated with age and positively with the level of serum alkaline phosphatase activity. The activity of SALP of non-bone origin was inferred to stay at about constant level irrespective of age and that of bone origin decreased with age.

Lipases are industrially useful versatile enzymes that catalyze numerous different reactions. Among lipases functioning under extreme conditions, alkaline lipase is useful in detergent industry. Lipase from yeast strain Yarrowia lipolytica NRRL Y-2178 was most active under alkaline condition, and initial medium pH for most lipase production was also alkaline [Lee et al., 2007, J Microbiol Biotechnol, 17(6)]. High lipase production was achieved using Y. lipolytica NRRL Y-2178. Optimal incubation time for lipase production at $25^{\circ}C$ was 72 h. Optimal temperature, when incubated for 72 h, was $27.5^{\circ}C$. Lipase production but not cell growth was very sensitive to concentrations of glucose and glycerol as efficient carbon sources, showing optimal concentrations of 1.0 and 1.5% (w/v), respectively. Lipase production was highly stimulated by $Ca^{2+},\;K^+,\;and\;Na^+$, but was inhibited by $Co^{2+},\;Cu^{2+},\;Mn^{2+},\;Na^+,\;and\;Fe^{2+}$. Maximum lipase production at 0.1 mM $Ca^{2+}$ for 72 h incubation at $27.5^{\circ}C$ was 649 units/mL.

From the pSKH201 plasmid which had been previously cloned in our laboratory, a 3.0kbp insert DNA encoding the alkaline phosphatase of Kluyveromyces fragilis was cleaved with several restriction endonucleases and ligated int the appropriate sites of M13mp18/19 vectors and sequenced by Sanger's dideoxy chain termination method. The sequence contained a 1,638 bp open reading frame(ORP) whose similarities in nucleotide, when compared with those of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Escherichia coli by GENETYX program, were found to be 61% and 46%, respectively. The deduced amino acid sequence consists of 546 amino acids and contains several homologous regions in the alkaline phosphatases of E. coli, S.cerevisiae and human placenta.
