Application of pervaporative extraction of ethanol to simultaneous saccharification and fermentation(SSF) of cellulose was investigated. From batch experiments, optimum cellulose substrate and enzyme loadings were found to be 10% and 15 IFPU/g cellulose, respectively. The cellulose conversion was lowered in fed-batch system due to the ethanol accumulation. The activity of the yeast Saccharomyces uvarum used in this study was significantly reduced at ethanol concentrations above around 40 g/L. From pervaporation experiments using PDMS membrane, ethanol was efficiently separated at 38$^\circ C$ and 10 mmHg of a down stream pressure. The pervaporation unit with 240 cm$^2$ of surface area was combined into the SSF reactor. The continuous removal of ethanol by pervaporation during SSF resulted in an improved cellulose conversion. Within the scope of this experiment, ethanol yields in the pervaporative SSF and simple SSF were 68.3% and 56.6%, respectively. The permeate flux for SSF broth pervaporation was about one-half that for the pervaporation of aqueous ethanol solution. Accordingly, the development of a membrane with higher ethanol selectivity and flux will increase the feasibility of this technology.

The photodegradation characteristics of 30 pharmaceuticals were investigated by batch experiments using Ultraviolet (UV) reactor. The investigated pharmaceuticals include antibiotics, analgesics and antiarrhythmic agents etc. Tested water was prepared by simultaneously spiking 30 pharmaceuticals into pure water, and each experiment was conducted using 3 types of UV lamps. As a result, batch experiments showed that reactions of all the investigated pharmaceuticals followed pseudo-first order reaction regardless of the applied UV lamps. Among the pharmaceuticals, Cyclophosphamide, 2-Quinoxaline carboxylic acid and Clarithromycin proved to be the most UV-resistant compounds. Contrarily, Ceftiofur, Diclofenac and Ketoprofen were easily degraded by all the UV lamps. Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentration hardly changed although the concentration of the pharmaceuticals concentration gradually decreased with time, indicating that the degradation of parent pharmaceuticals may produce their intermediates during UV treatment.

This study is to discuss the factors influenced on the removal efficiency of a high-strength organic wastewaters investigated using the polypropyrene media which appropriate to attach microorganism in the tube type fixed biofilter reactor. The results obtained in the experiment were as follows: 1. The kinetics of reaction rate (k') were 0.125, 0.135, 0.155 varing initial COD 720, 1280, 1630 mg/l in batch reactor. 2. In the range of pH 4.0 ~12.0 was obtained the removal efficiency of COD higher than 85%. It was proved that variation of pH (4.0 ~12.0) was nothing to do with the removal efficiency of substrate in continuous reactor. 3. Temperature to obtain removal efficiency of COD higher than 85% was 10 ~ 40$\circ$C. Removal efficiency of COD was no less than those at high temperature. 4. In the continuous reactor, the volumetric loading of COD for removal efficiency higher than 95% had to be 0.5~1.5 kg COD/m$^3$.d below. And then the HRT was 8 hrs. 5. In comparison with the activated sludge process, the tube type fixed biofilter process was excellent in removal efficiency of substrate and sludge production rate.

본 연구는 실험실 규모의 침지형 막분리 활성오니법을 이용하여 생물 대사 성분이 막투과 유속에 미치는 영향에 대해 고찰하였다. SMP와 분리막의 fouling과의 관계를 살펴보기 위해 연속 실험과 회분 실험으로 나누어 운전하였다. 합성 폐수로는 단일 탄소원으로서 phenol을 사용하였다. 생물 반응조의 체류 시간과 MLSS농도는 각각 12hr과 9.000mgVSS/L로 유지하였다. 연속 장치에 있어서 회분 여과 실험을 통해 SMP농도가 증가할수록 막투과 유속은 감소하였고, cake와 gel층이 형성을 증가시켰다. Cake의 저항은 $2.9{\sim}4.0{\times}10^{10}$으로 측정되어 다른 여과 저항보다 막투과 유속의 감소에 중요한 영향을 나타냈다. 회분 페놀 분해 실험에서 SMP종들 중에 $SMP_{nd}$와 $SMP_{e}$가 난분해성 고분자 물질로서 막투과 감소에 중요한 역할을 하였다. 또한, SMP농도는 막투과 유속의 감소에 대한 HRT의 증가로서 생물 반응조 내에 축적되었다.

This study was conducted to investigated the possibility of inactivating wilt germs (Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. radicis lycopersici) using Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DBD) plasma in a hydroponic system. Recirculating hydroponic cultivation system for inactivation was consisted of planting port, LED lamp, water tank, and circulating pump for hydroponic and DBD plasma reactor. Two experiments were conducted: batch and intermittent continuous process. The effect of plasma treatment on Total Residual Oxidants (TRO) concentration change, Fusarium inactivation and growth of lettuce were investigated. In the batch experiment, most of the Fusarium was inactivated at a TRO concentration of 0.15 mg/L or more at four-day intervals. There was no change in lettuce growth after two times of plasma treatment for one week. The intermittent continuous experiment consisted of 30-minute, 60-minute, and 90-minute plasma treatment in 2 day intervals and 30-minute treatment a one-day; most of the Fusarium was inactivated only by treatment for 30-minute every two days. However, if inactivation under $10^1CFU/mL$ is required, it will be necessary to treat for 60 minutes in 2 day intervals. The plasma treatment caused no damage to the lettuce, except the 30 min plasma treatment ay the one-day interval. It was considered that the residual TRO concentration was higher than that of the other treatments.

A comprehensive kinetic study has been conducted on dimethyl carbonate synthesis by transesterification reaction of ethylene carbonate with methanol. An alkali base metal (KOH) was used as catalyst in the synthesis of DMC, and its catalytic ability was investigated in terms of kinetics. The experiment was performed in a batch reactor at atmospheric pressure. The reaction orders, the activation energy and the rate constants were determined for both forward and backward reactions. The reaction order for forward and backward reactions was 0.87 and 2.15, and the activation energy was 12.73 and 29.28 kJ/mol, respectively. Using the general factor analysis in the design of experiments, we analyzed the main effects and interactions according to the MeOH/EC, reaction temperature and KOH concentration. DMC yield with various reaction conditions was presented for all ranges using surface and contour plot. Furthermore, the optimal conditions for DMC yield were determined using response surface method.

A laboratory experiment was performed to investigate phosphorus and nitrogen removal from synthetic wastewater by intermittently aerated activated sludge process packed with aluminum and silver plate. Three continuous experi­mental processes, i. e. an intermittently aerated activated sludge process(Run A), an intermittently aerated activated sludge process with an aluminum and silver plate packed into the reactor(Run B), and a reactor post stage(Run C) were compared. In the batch experiments, the phosphorus removal time in the reactor packed with aluminum and silver plate simultaneously was faster than that of the reactor packed with only an aluminum plate. More phos­phorus was removed with an increase of NaCl concentration. The pitting corrosion of aluminum does not affect the performance of the biological treatment. The total nitrogen removal efficiency in Run B was $57\%\;and\;43.6\%$ at the HRT of 12 and 6 hours respectively. The effluent $PO_{4-}P$ concentration as low as 1.0 mg/L could be ob­tainable through the continuous experiment in Run B at HRT of 6 hours.
