  • The new movement towards green chemistry and renewable feedstocks makes microbial production of chemicals more competitive. Among the numerous chemicals, organic acids are more attractive targets for process development efforts in the renewable-based biorefinery industry. However, most of the production costs in microbial processes are higher than that in chemical processes, among which over 60% are generated by separation processes. Therefore, the research of separation and purification processes is important for a promising biorefinery industry. This review highlights the progress of recovery processes in the separation and purification of organic acids, including their advantages and disadvantages, current situation, and future prospects in terms of recovery yields and industrial application.

  • Miscanthus has been considered as the most promising bioenergy crop for lignocellulosic biomass production. In Korea, M. sacchariflorus and M. sinensis can be found easily in all regions. It is a great advantage to utilize as important species with respect to genetic and cross-breeding programs materials for creation of novel hybrids. For successful breeding programs, it is important to precisely understand the variability of morphological and growth characteristics among Miscanthus species as breeding parent materials. In this study, morphological and growth characteristics were observed in 960 germplasms of two Miscanthus species (M. sacchariflorus and M. sinensis) for growing seasons over three years. Due to the inherent characteristics of these species, the germplasm of M. sacchariflorus among the collected germplasm were reduced in plant height than in the collection area. In M. sinensis, the plant height of germplasm collected mainly from Jeju-do increased more than those collected from collection area. Sixty-one of the collected 960 germplasms were selected and investigated to the morphological characteristics. Based on the investigated morphological data, the phylogenic tree was developed. As the results, it was confirmed that there exist germplasm in which the characteristics of M. sacchariflorus and M. sinensis are mixed. This study of Miscanthus may provide an important information in order to expedite the introduction as breeding materials for creation of new hybrid.

  • Cost-effective microalgae harvesting methods are necessary for economical production of algal biodiesel. In this study, membranes with various pore sizes and materials were examined for their potentials in application to gravity-filtration of Tetraselmis sp. KCTC12432BP. For this test, 10 L of Tetraselmis sp. culture (2 g/L) was loaded on each membrane and filtration rates were measured. Among the tested materials, a woven cotton fabric showed the fastest water drain rate (0.73 L/hr) without serious cell leakage. Cell density of the concentrates after filtration was 6.8 g/L, indicating 3.4-fold concentration compared with the initial algal culture. The result suggests that the woven cotton fabric could serve as filtration membrane for harvesting Tetraselmis sp. among the tested ones.

  • Recently, as one of the major problems in the quality of sweetpotato, occurrence of thin and long fibrous tissues in storage root acts as a negative factor when consumers eat sweetpotato. In this study, the fiber content was compared according to the cultivation period in storage roots of 'Sodammi' and 'Hopungmi', which were newly bred and developed, and in that of 'Hogammi', which contains a lot of fibrous tissues. To isolate of fiber from storage root, the Association Official Analytical Chemists (AOAC) method was applied for quantifying fiber present in storage root of sweetpotato. The fiber contents isolated by this method is calculated by converting the weight of the storage root. The fiber content was measured every 20 days from 60 to 120 days after planting. As a result of this study, the lowest amount of fiber was 'Hopungmi' (70~140 mg/100 g), and the highest amount of fiber was observed in 'Hogammi' (115~223 mg/100 g). 'Sodammi' showed an intermediate level (104~149 mg/100 g) between the fiber content of 'Hopungmi' and 'Hogammi'. The fiber contents of 'Hopungmi' was 39% lower than that of 'Hogammi'. As the increased cultivation periods, the fiber contents showed a tendency to decrease. In the future research, the length, thickness, and fiber contents will be investigated to compare the degree of taste inhibition.

  • The enhancements of bioenergy production effectiveness require the comprehensively experimental study of several parameters affecting these bioprocesses. The interpretation of the obtained experimental results and the estimation of optimum yield are extremely complicated such as misinterpreting the results of an experiment. The use of mathematical modeling and statistical experimental designs can consistently supply the predictions of the potential yield and the identification of defining parameters and also the understanding of key relationships between factors and responses. This paper summarizes several mathematical models used to achieve an adequate overall and maximal production yield and rate, to screen, to optimize, to identify, to describe and to provide useful information for the effect of several factors on bioenergy production processes. The usefulness, the validity and, the feasibility of each strategy for studying and optimizing the bioenergy-producing processes were discussed and confirmed by the good correlation between predicted and measured values.
