Low Calorific Gas Turbine (LCGT) has been developed as a next generation power system using landfill gas (LFG) and biogas made from various organic wastes, food Waste, waste water and Livestock biogas. Low calorific fuel purification by pretreatment system and carbon dioxide fixation by green house system are very important design target for the optimum applications of LCGT. Main troubles of Low Calorific Gas Turbine system was derived from the impurities such as hydro sulfide, siloxane, water contained in biogas. Even if the quality of the bio fuel is not better than natural gas, LCGT may take low quality gas fuel and environmental friendly power system. The mechanical characterisitics of LCGT system is a high energy efficiency (>70%), wide range of output power (30 kW - 30 MW class) and very clean emission from power system (low NOx). A green house has been designed for four different carbon dioxide concentration from ambient air to 2000 ppm by utilizing the exhaust gas and hot water from LCGT system. LCGT is expected to contribute achieving the target of Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS).

A 28-kDa extracellular lipase (pI 8.7) was purified to homogeneity from the culture supernatant of Trichosporon sp. Y- 11 by mmonium sulfate precipitation, DEAE-Sephadex A-50, Bio-Gel P-30, CM- Sephadex C-50, and Bio-Gel P- 10 chromatographies. The purified enzyme exhibited a specific activity of $2,741{\;}{\mu}mol/min/mg$ based on the hydrolysis of triolein, and the optimal hydrolysis activity was dentified at pH 8.0 and $40^{\circ}C$. The enzyme activity was inhibited by $Ag^+$ and enhanced by $Fe^{2+}$, $Fe^{3+}$, $Mg^{2+}$, $Mn^{2+}$, and $Li^{+}$. The enzyme activity exhibited for the hydrolysis of both tributyrin and trilinolein. The ester synthesis of unsaturated fatty acids with various alcohols catalyzed by the purified lipase in a nonaqueous medium or microaqueous system was also investigated. The esterification activity of the lipase increased with an increase of the carbon chain length in the alcohol. The synthesis rate of linoleic acid and oleyl alcohol was the highest with an optimal temperature and pH of $40^{\circ}C$ and 8.0, respectively. The water content and agitation also affected the esterification activity of the lipase.

This study was conducted to further characterize mucilages from Dioscoreae Rhizoma, which have been known to be proteoglycans. We chose the two types of yams, Dioscorea batatas Dec. (club-like) and D. japonica Thunb. (cane-like). Repeated gel filtration of a dialyzed water extract of each fresh yam on Bio-gel P-100 and then Sephadex G-150 columns completely separated the mucilage from protein. Furthermore, gel filtration of a water extract from each yam processed by steaming and drying on the Bio-gel P-100 column gave only one polysaccharide peak without protein. These results revealed that the mucilages of yams were only composed of polysaccharide. Then we assessed some properties of the mucilages under three kinds of criteria: a complex-forming capacity between mucilage and alcian blue, mannose content in the mucilage, and viscosity. The complex-forming capacities of two types of fresh yams were closely similar with each other, but the processing of two types of the fresh yams greatly lowered the complex-forming capacity and viscosity.

There is a significant demand to make various dissolved gases in water. However, the conventional aeration method shows low gas mass transfer rate and gas utilization efficiency. In this study, a novel rotating wheel entraining gas method was developed for making high dissolved $O_2$ and $O_3$ in water. It produced higher concentration and higher transfer rate of dissolved $O_2$ and $O_3$ than conventional bubble aeration method, especially almost 100% of gas transfer efficiency was achieved for $O_3$ in enclosed reactor. For application of rotating wheel entraining gas method, aerobic bio-reactor and membrane bio-reactor (MBR) were successfully used for treatment of domestic and pharmaceutical wastewater, respectively; and vacuum ultraviolet $(VUV)/UV+O_3/O_2$ reactors were well used for sterilization in air/water, removal of dust particles and toxic gases in air, and degradation of pesticide residue and sterilization on fruits and vegetables.

A recombinant Fab monoclonal antibody (Fab) C37, previously obtained by phage display and biopanning of a random antibody fragment library against Burkholderia pseudomallei protease, was expressed in different strains of Escherichia coli. E. coli strain HB2151 was deemed a more suitable host for Fab expression than other E. coli strains when grown in media supplemented with 0.2% glycerol. The expressed Fab fragment was purified by affinity chromatography on a Protein G-Sepharose column, and the specificity of the recombinant Fab C37 towards B. pseudomallei protease was proven by Western blotting, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and by proteolytic activity neutralization. In addition, polyclonal antibodies against B. pseudomallei protease were produced in rabbits immunized with the protease. These were isolated from high titer serum by affinity chromatography on recombinant-Protein A-Sepharose. Purified polyclonal antibody specificity towards B. pseudomallei protease was proven by Western blotting and ELISA.

An extracellular chitinase-producing bacterial strain induced by colloidal chitin was isolated from sea sand and was identified to be a member of the genus Cytophaga. The chitinase was purified successively by 30-60% ammonium sulfate fractionation, and DEAE-Bio gel A column, Octyl-Sepharose CL-4B column, and DEAE-Bio gel A column chromatographies. The enzyme had a molecular mass of 59.75 kDa, and the amino terminal amino acid sequence was ATPNAPVISW MPTDXXLQNXS. The enzyme acted better on colloidal chitin as a substrate than on chitosan. For colloidal chitin and chitosan (Degree of Acetylation, 15-25%), $K_{cat}$ values were 0.60U/mg and 0.08U/mg, respectively. HPLC analysis of the enzymatic reaction products showed that the chitinase produced mostly N-acetyl-D-glucosarnine and di-N-acetylchitobiose. The optimum temperature and pH for the enzyme were $50^{\circ}C$ and 4.0, respectively. N-Bromosuccinimide and $Hg^{2+}$ inhibited the chitinase activity as much as 90%, and $Sb^{3+}$, diethylpyrocarbonate, and $Ag^{+}$ inhibited it by 50-70%.

An intracellular invertase was purified to homogeneity from the cell extract of an alkalophilic and thermophilic Bacillus sp. TA-11, which was classified as a new species belonging to Bacillus cereus based on chemotaxanomic and phylogenetic analyses. The purified enzyme with a recovery of 26.6% was determined to be a monomeric protein with a molecular weight of 23 kDa by SDS-PAGE and 26 kDa by gel filtration. The maximum enzyme activity was observed at pH 7.0 and $50^{\circ}C$, and the purified enzyme was stable at the pH range of 5.0 to 8.0 and below $60^{\circ}C$. $K_m$ and $V_{max}$ values of the enzyme for sucrose were 370 mM and 3.0 ${\mu}M$ per min, respectively. The enzyme activity was significantly inhibited by bivalent metal ions ($Hg^{2+}$, $Cd^{2+}$ and $Cu^{2+}$) and sugars (glucose and fructose).

Major cellulase components, such as three endoglucanases (endoglucanases I, II, and III) and one exoglucanase (exoglucanase II), were isolated from a commercial cellulase (Meicelase TP 60) derived from the fungus Trichoderma viride by a series of chromatography procedures. These procedures were the gel filtration on Bio-Gel, the anion exchange on DEAE-Bio-Gel A, the cation exchange on SP-Sephadex C50, and the affinity chromatography on Avicel cellulose. The average molecular weights determined by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoretic analysis were 51,000, 59,000, 41,000 and 62,000 Da for endoglucanases I, II and III and exoglucanase II, respectively. The extinction coefficients, ${\varepsilon}^{1%}$ 280 nm, of these enzymes were 11.7, 3.3, 7.2 and 11.3, respectively. Among them, the endoglucanase II showed the very low value of the coefficient compared with the others. On the other hand, it was found that endoglucanase II and III were of more random hydrolytic mode on carboxymethylcellulose as compared with those of endoglucanase I and exoglucanase II. Especially, endoglucanase I showed less random action than that of exoglucanase II. In the hydrolysis of insoluble cellulose by the enzyme components, cellobiose was the major product, but glucose was the major product by endoglucanase III.

최근에는 그동안 추진했던 점오염원 중심의 하천수질관리에서 벗어나 비점오염원도 중요한 오염물질로 고려되어 비점오염원 저감을 위한 많은 연구가 진행되고 있는 실정이다. 하지만 기존 비점오염원 저감시설의 설치 사례를 살펴보면 각각의 요소 기술들이 조화를 이루지 못하여 하천의 경관성을 훼손시키고 오염원 차단 및 저감 효과를 상쇄시키는 경우가 대부분이기에 이를 해결할 수 있는 통합적 운전 시스템이 필요하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 기존의 비점오염원 저감시설에 대한 연구를 발전시켜 요소기술의 개별 평가가 아닌 요소 기술들의 통합적 운영에 대한 성능 평가를 실시하고자 한다. 선정된 요소기술은 비점오염원 저감 목적으로 주로 사용되는 저류지, 인공습지, 호안을 선정하여 각 요소기술별 개별 운전과 연계처리 운전을 비교 분석하여 수질정화 능력을 검토하였다.

Public attention to the indoor environment of underground subway stations, which is a representative multi-use facility, has been increasing along with the increase in indoor activities. In underground stations, fine iron oxide, which affects the health of users, is generated because of the friction between wheels and rails. Among particulate pollutant reduction technologies, plants have been considered as a non-chemical air purification method, and their effects in reducing certain chemical species have been identified in previous studies. The present study aimed to derive the total quantitative and qualitative reduction effects of a bio-filter system comprising air purifying plants, installed in an underground subway station. The experiment proceeded in two ways. First, PM(particulate matter) reduction effect by vegetation biofilter was monitored with the IAQ(indoor air quality) station. In addition, chemical speciation analysis conducted on the samples collected from the experimental and control areas where plants and irrigation using SEM-EDS(scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy). This study confirmed the effect of the vegetation bio-filter system in reducing the accumulation of particulate pollutants and transition and other metals that are harmful to the human body.
