DMT(dimethylterephthalate)와 DEG(diethylene glycol)의 에스테르 교환반응을 통하여 BHEET(bis-hydroxyethoxyethyl-terephthalate)을 생성하는 반응에 대하여 조사하였다. BHEET는 polyurethanr foam의 원료인 폴리에스터 폴리올의 단량체이다. DMT를 이용한 기존의 에스테르 교환 반응은 반응 중 생성 MeOH이 제거되는 반회분식 반응기를 사용하였다. 따라서 이러한 kinetics 연구에서는 역반응이 고려되지 않는다. 본 실험에서는 촉매로는 zinc acetate를 사용하였고, 소형 회분식 반응기를 통하여 DMT와 MeOH의 양을 정량하여 생성되는 MHEET와 BHEET를 추정하였다. 이 반응들에서 역반응을 고려한 보다 정확한 반응 kinetics를 조사하였다. 제안된 모델의 예측 값들이 실험값들과 잘 일치함을 보였다.

The growth mechanism of AMT(Ammonium Meta-Tungstate) crystal was interpreted as two-step model. The contribution of the diffusion step increased with the increase of temperature, crystal size, and supersaturation. The crystal size distribution from a batch cooling crystallizer was predicted by the numerical solution of a mathematical model which uses the kinetics of nucleation and crystal growth. Temperature control of a batch crystallizer was studied using Learning control algorithm. The purity of AMT crystal producted in this investigation was above 99.99%.

The adsorption performance of cupper and zinc ions($Cu^{2+}$ and $Zn^{2+}$) in aqueous solution was investigated by an adsorption process on reagent grade Na-A zeolite(Z-WK) and Na-A zeolite (Z-C1) prepared from coal fly ash. Z-C1 was synthesized by a fusion method with coal fly ash from a thermal power plant. Batch adsorption experiment with Z-C1 was employed to study the kinetics and equilibrium parameters such as initial metal ions concentration and adsorption time of the solution on the adsorption process. Adsorption rate of metal ions occurred rapidly and adsorption equilibrium reached at less than 120 minutes. The kinetics data of $Cu^{2+}$ and $Zn^{2+}$ ions were well fitted by a pseudo-second-order kinetics model more than a pseudo-first-order kinetics model. The equilibrium data were well fitted by a Langmuir model and this result showed $Cu^{2+}$ and $Zn^{2+}$ adsorption on Z-C1 would be occupied by a monolayer adsorption. The maximum adsorption capacity($q_{max}$) by the Langmuir model was determined as $Cu^{2+}$ 99.8 mg/g and $Zn^{2+}$ 108.3 mg/g, respectively. It appeared that the synthetic zeolite, Z-C1, has potential application as absorbents in metal ion recovery and mining wastewater.

PBT (polybutylene terephthalate)는 저흡수율, 치수 안정성, 내마모성 등 기계적 특성이 우수하며, 전기전자 부품, 자동차 부품, 각종 정밀 부품에 사용된다. DMT (dimethyl terephthalate)와 BD (1,4-butandiol)를 사용하여 PBT의 원료단량체인 BHBT (bis-hydroxybutyle terephthalate)를 생산하는 에스테르 교환 반응 반응에 대해 연구 하였다. 촉매로는 zinc acetate가 사용되었다. 기존의 연구에서는 반응 중 생성 메탄올이 제거되는 반회분식 반응기를 통한 kinetics 연구가 이루어져 역반응이 고려되지 않음에 따른 모델의 부정확함이 있었다. 본 연구에서는 회분식 반응기를 사용하고 반응 중 DMT와 메탄올 양을 정량하여 생성되는 MHBT (methyl hydroxylbutylene terephthalate)와 BHBT를 추정할 수 있도록 하고, 이 반응들에서 역반응들을 고려할 수 있도록 하여 보다 정확한 모델을 제안하였다. 다양한 반응속도 모델을 제시하였고, 이 모델들이 예측한 값들이 실험 데이터와 잘 일치함을 보였다.

Microbial growth kinetics is often used to optimize environmental processes owing to its relation to the breakdown of substrate (contaminants). However, the quantification of bacterial populations in the environment is difficult owing to the challenges of monitoring a specific bacterial population within a diverse microbial community. Conventional methods are unable to detect and quantify the growth of individual strains separately in the mixed culture reactor. This work describes a novel quantitative PCR (qPCR)-based genomic approach to quantify each species in mixed culture and interpret its growth kinetics in the mixed system. Batch experiments were performed for both single and dual cultures of Pseudomonas putida and Escherichia coli K12 to obtain Monod kinetic parameters (μ_max and K_s). The growth curves and kinetics obtained by conventional methods (i.e., dry weight measurement and absorbance reading) were compared with that obtained by qPCR assay. We anticipate that the adoption of this qPCR-based genomic assay can contribute significantly to traditional microbial kinetics, modeling practice, and the operation of bioreactors, where handling of complex mixed cultures is required.

The present work aimed to study the decolorization kinetics and characteristics of a selected azo dye under the influence of two key operational parameters including hydraulic retention time (HRT) and solid retention time (SRT). The decolorization efficiency and the two important criteria of k and normalized k (k/MLSS) were evaluated in lab-scale membrane sequencing batch reactors (MSBRs) at various HRTs of 48, 24 and 16 h (with constant SRT) and in addition, at various SRTs of infinity, 40 and 10 d (with constant HRT). According to the obtained results, both zero and first-order kinetics were properly fitted the decolorization profiles of the selected azo dye in all of the applied HRTs and SRTs. Increase of both HRT and SRT positively affected the decolorization efficiency. More MLSS concentrations corresponded to the lower HRTs and the higher SRTs resulted in higher decolorization rate constants (k). However, the effect of reducing the HRT was not compensated by increase of the MLSS concentration in order to reach higher decolorization efficiency. In addition, increase of the decolorization efficiency, as a consequence of the higher MLSS concentrations at longer SRTs, was restrained by decrease of the time-limited decolorization capability of biomass (represented by normalized k). Evaluation of both k and normalized k is suggested in order to have a more precise study on the decolorization kinetics and characteristics.

The simple Langmuir isotherm is frequently employed to describe the equilibrium behavior of protein adsorption on a wide variety of adsorbents. The two adjustable parameters of the Langmuir isotherm - the saturation capacity, or $q_m$, and the dissociation constant, $K_d$ - are usually estimated by fitting the isotherm equation to the equilibrium data acquired from batch equilibration experiments. In this study, we have evaluated the possibility of estimating $q_m$ and $K_d$ for the adsorption of bovine serum albumin to a cation exchanger using batch kinetic data. A rate model predicated on the kinetic form of the Langmuir isotherm, with three adjustable parameters ($q_m,\;K_d$, and a rate constant), was fitted to a single kinetic profile. The value of $q_m$ determined as the result of this approach was quantitatively consistent with the $q_m$ value derived from the traditional batch equilibrium data. However, the $K_d$ value could not be retrieved from the kinetic profile, as the model fit proved insensitive to this parameter. Sensitivity analysis provided significant insight into the identifiability of the three model parameters.

유전자 재조합된 동물 세포의 유가 배양시 $1.85\times 10^{-10}$(mmole/cell/h)의 비 glucose 소비속도와 $4.7\times 10^{-7}(\mu g/ceil/h)$의 erythropoetin (EPO)비 생산속도를 유지할 수 있었다. 또한 이같은 배양에서 회분 및 연속배양에서 보다 높은 세포수를 얻었으며 전 배양이 유사 안정상태에 도달하는 배양 후기에는 glutamolysis가 생육 공정에 매우 중요한 역활을 하고 있음이 확이됐다. 유가 배양시 13(mmloe/l)의 glucose 농도에서 생육 제한 현상이 일어났으며, 이같은 농도에 도달할 때까지는 glucose의 농도가 증가함에 따라 배양시간의 경과와 함께 EPO 생산성이 증가했다.

Experiments on deactivation kinetics of immobilized lipase enzyme from Candida cyl-indracea were performed in stirred bath reactor using rice bran oil as the substrate and temperature as the deactivation parameter. The data were fitted In first order deactivation model. The effect of temperature on deactivation rate was represented by Arrhenius equation. Theoretical equations were developed based on pseudo-steady state approximation and Michaelis -Menten rate expression to predict the time course of conversion due to enzyme deactivation and apparent half-life of the immobilized enzyme activity in PFR and CSTH under constant feed rate polity for no diffusion limitation and diffusion limitation of first order. Stability of enzyme in these continuous reactors was predicted and factors affecting the stability were analyzed.

The photocatalytic treatment of water contaminated with 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) was explored in bench-scale experiments in batch mode using a Pyrex tube coated with a thin film of $TiO_2$ located inside a photoreactor. The reactor was aerated by purging it with compressed air before initiating the photocatalytic reaction. The rate of TNT degradation approximated first-order kinetics. The reaction rate constant decreased as the TNT concentration increased from 25 to 100 mg/L, while the first-order kinetics could be modeled using a Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The addition of the organic reductants methanol and EDTA significantly enhanced the rate of TNT degradation, with optimum results in the presence of 20% methanol by volume. EDTA increased the rate of TNT removal by enhancing the role of the reductants.
