One of the most promising TCE treatment systems is trickling biofilter (TBF), in which monooxygenase, the corresponding enzyme for initiating growth substrate oxidation, fortuitously transforms TCE via cometabolism. TCE. however. is not easily treated by simple cometabolic biotransformation. This is mainly due to the toxicity of TCE to microbial cell and monooxygenase. In this study, we cleveloped and operated a two-stage CSTR/TBF system for the long-term continuous treatment of TCE. In the two-stage biotransfon11ation system, CSTR with cell recycle from TBR was coupled to the TBR for the reactivation of the cells deactivated during TCE degradation.

효모의 구연산 생산성을 향상시키기 위하여 구연산 생성이 향상된 변이균주를 분리.사용하여 비교적 높은 당농도에서의 구연산발효 및 균체 순환식 반연속배양에 의한 구연산발효 실험을 실시하였다. 친균주인 Candida lipolytica S-109를 NTG처리하여 친주균에 비하여 구연산생성능이 30%정도 향상되고 fumarate, malate, isocitrate 생성이 억제된 변이균주 J-24를 분리하였다. 친균주 S-109와 변이균주 J-24를 10% glucose 함유 배지에서 6일간 배양하여 각각 56g/l, 72g/l의 구연산을 생성하였다. 배양액내의 구연산축적량을 향상시키기 위한 비교적 높은 glucose농도는 16%였으며 85g/l의 구연산을 생성하여 53% 수율을 보였다. P/C비, urea 및 yeast extract 농도를 각각 0.8-1.0 $\times$ $10^{-3}$, 0.15%, 0.25%로 할 때 93g/l의 구연산을 축적하여 58% 수율로 향상되었다. 효율적인 생산기를 연장하고 생산물 저해를 억제하며 유도기를 단축하기 위하여 균체순환식 반연속배양을 실시한 결과 그 생산성이 0.79g/l.h로서 회분식의 053g/l.h에 비하여 1.5배 높았다.

An Ejector enhances system efficiency, are easily operated, have a mechanically simple structure, and do not require a power supply. Because of these advantages, the ejector has been applied to a variety of industrial fields such as refrigerators, power plants and oil plants. In this work, an ejector was used to safely recycle anode tail gas in a 75-kW Molten Carbonate Fuel Cell (MCFC) system at KEPCO Research Institute. In this system, the ejector is placed at mixing point between the anode tail gas and the cathode tail gas or the fresh air. Commercial ejectors are not designed for the actual operating conditions for our fuel cell system. A new ejector was therefore designed for use beyond conventional operating limits. In the first place, a few sample ejectors were manufacured and the entrainment ratio was measured at a dummy stack. Through this experiment, the optimum ejector was chosen. The 75-kW MCFC system equipped with this optimum ejector was operated successfully.

대면적 용융탄산염 연료전지 운전 시 스택에서 발생하는 스택내 온도차와 극간 차압의 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 정상상태특성 및 동특성을 분석하였다. 두가지 용융탄산염연료전지 스택(5 kW(3,000$\textrm{cm}^2$, 20장), 3kW(6,000$\textrm{cm}^2$, 5장) 의 운전결과를 통하여 스택성능에 중요한 영향을 미치는 조작변수(전류밀도 , 연료 이용률, 공기 이용률)와 조절변수(스택 온도차, 연료극 차압, 공기극 차압)를 결정하였다. 조작변수들에 대한 조절변수들의 변화량인 스택의 정상상태 이득률을 구하여 시스템의 안정성을 분석하고 동특성을 나타내는 전달함수를 구하였따. 전달함수는 3$\times$3 행렬로 시간 지연항이 없는 전형적인 1차 시스템으로 표현되었다 동특성 분석에 의해 대면적 용융탄산염 연료전지 시스템의 최적 운전 조건을 설정할 수 있었다. 5 kW 스택의 경우 전류밀도가 150mA/$\textrm{cm}^2$ 일 때 스택 출구 온도를 68$0^{\circ}C$ 이하로 유지하기 위해서는 공기극 가스 recycle 에 의한 가압 운전이 필요하였으며, 효과적으로 용융탄산염 연료전지 시스템을 제어하기위해서는 조작변수의 조절변수상호간의 연계성을 제거하기위한 다중 입.출력 제어 및 연계 제거기가 필요함을 확인하였다. 이 결과는 향후 대면적 용융탄산염을 연료전지 시스템의 제어구조 설계와 운전모드설정에 중요한 자료로 사용될 것이다.

Flocculation of Candida tropicalis HY200 was systemically investigated to elucidate its mechanism, and used for cell cycles in repeated-batch cultivations for the production of xylitol from xylose. Flocculation occurred only after the late exponential phase of growth in the culture media and buffer within the narrow pH range of 3.0-5.0. The flocculation was completely inhibited by treatments of cells with proteases and partially reduced by treatments with carbohydrate-hydrolyzing enzymes and by the presence of mannose and glucose. The addition of calcium ions significantly enhanced the flocculation during cultivation, which was completely abolished by the addition of EDTA. The flocculent yeast HY200 provided repeated-batch cultivations employing cell recycles by flocculation over 6 rounds of cultivation for the production of xylitol from xylose, resulting in a relatively high productivity of averaged 4.6 g xylitol/l h over six batches and maximal 6.3 g xylitol/l h in the final sixth batch. Cell recycle by flocculation was fast and convenient, which could be applicable for the industrial scale of xylitol production.

The preparation of oil absorbent using waste polyurethane was studied. And the effects of shape, size, and contents of waste polyurethane foam was investigated. The waste foam was treated in shape of powder, cube and bar type generated from rigid sandwich panel process. The tests for flexural strength, combustibility, and water absorptivity were carried out to investigate the mechanical and physical properties of the recycled foams. And the cell microstructure was evaluated through Scanning Electron Micrograph. The recycled foam containing powder-shaped underfilled and showed poor properties that was generated through reactivity of the resins and increasing of slurry viscosity. For the recycled foam with the cube and bar-shaped, the underfilling was caused by interference between the waste PUFs and increasing surface areas of PUF. Low cell density, non-uniformity of cell shape and size, and low adhesion of the boundary surface (new/recycled) was showed as a result of the poor properties. Considering underfilling and the properties of PUF (new/recycled), maximum recycle contents were less than 20 wt% for the powder and above 40 wt% for the cube and bar.

Baker's yeast was disrupted in a 1.4-L stainless steel horizontal bead mill under a continuous recycle mode using 0.3 mm diameter zirconia beads as abrasive. A single pass in continuous mode bead mill operation liberates half of the maximally released protein. The maximum total protein release can only be achieved after passaging the cells 5 times through the disruption chamber. The degree of cell disruption was increased with the increase in feeding rate, but the total protein release was highest at the middle range of feeding rate (45 L/h). The total protein release was increased with an increase in biomass concentration from 10 to $50\%$(w/v). However, higher heat dissipation as a result of high viscosity of concentrated biomass led to the denaturation of labile protein such as glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH). As a result the highest specific activity of G6PDH was achieved at biomass concentration of $20\%$(ww/v). Generally, the degree of cell disruption and total protein released were increased with an increase in impeller tip speed, but the specific activity of G6PDH was decreased substantially at higher impeller tip speed (14 m/s). Both the degree of cell disruption and total protein release increased, as the bead loading increased from 75 to $85\% (v/v)$. Hence, in order to obtain a higher yield of labile protein such as G6PDH, the yeast cell should not be disrupted at biomass concentration and impeller tip speed higher than $20\%(w/v)$ and 10 m/s, respectively.

Gibberellic acid (GA$_3$) is a commercially important plant growth hormone, which is gaining much more attention all over the world due to its effective use in agriculture and brewing industry. Industrially it is produced by submerged fermentation technique using Ascomycetous fungus Gibberella fujikuroi. Solid state and immobilized cell fermentation techniques had also been developed as an alternative to obtain higher yield of GA$_3$. This review summarizes the problems of GA$_3$ fermentation such as production of co-secondary metabolites along with GA$_3$, substrate inhibition and degradation of GA$_3$ to biologically inert compound gibberellenic acid, which limits the yield of GA$_3$ in the fermentation medium. These problems can be overcome by various bioprocessing strategies e.g. two - stage and fed batch cultivation processes. Further research on bioreactor operation strategies such as continuous and / or extractive fermentation with or without cell recycle / retention system need to be investigated for improvement in yield and productivity. Down stream processing for GA$_3$ isolation is also a challenge and procedures available for the same have been critically evaluated.
