  • Deoxygenation process in which CBOD(carbonaceous BOD) is biochemically oxidized to reduced inorganic compounds is of great significance in the oxygen demand of stream waters. The CBOD decay rate has traditionally been determined in a laboratory by CBOD bottle incubation method. But in this study, CBOD decay rates were obtained by laboratory incubation method and natural waters experiment. Average CBOD decay rate for the Nakdong river(upper zone) in natural waters were 0.553 $day^{-1}$ during April 2005 to January 2007. The values in the middle and down parts of the Nakdong river in natural waters were 0.384 $day^{-1}$ and 0.252 $day^{-1}$ at the same period of time, respectively. Average CBOD decay rates using by incubation method in the upper/middle/down parts of the main stream in the Nakdong river basin was 0.270 $day^{-1}$, and 0.289 $day^{-1}$, and 0.283 $day^{-1}$ during April 2005 to January 2007, respectively.

  • The physical properties of polypropylene (PP) membranes under the radiation field were investigated. To calculate radiation flux affecting to PP, it was used MCNP4A Code. The PP membrane and deoxygenation equipment were standardized to bar structure in order to calculate the phonton flux with MCNP4A Code. The change in the properties of the PP membrane to be used in deoxygenation equipment was rarely occurred during the usage work because the radiation level of reactor coolant water was very low level and The doses of radiation workers are very low. From the results, it was found that the Physical properties of PP membranes which used for nuclear power plant reactor coolant water disposal were not rarely changed under the simulated radiation field.

  • Human wastes are rich in organic matter and therefore affect the dissolved oxygen when they are discharged into the sea. The breakdown of this organic matter liberates nutrients. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the self-purification capacity in the southern waters of the East Sea during the three cruises in June, July and August, 1986. Streeter and Phelps' model has been used in this study. Factors in this model, deoxygenation constant and reaeration coefficient, have been determined by applying oxygen consumption method and a closed system model. Deoxygenation constant and reaeretion coefficient are 0.177-0.313/day and 0.025-0.364/day respectively. The self-purification capacity to the DO value of 5mg/l is found to be $42.29\~434.25g\;BOD/m^2$, and to a great extent depends on the vertical mixing.

  • Corrosion control, in the end-shield cooling system of Wolsung Nuclear Power Plant, is directly related to the control of dissolved oxygen (DO). The current method, being used to deoxygenate the end-shield cooling water, is a chemical treatment by addition of reducing agent, hydrazine, to react with DO. This method has several limitations including high reaction temperature of hydrazine , unwanted explosive hydrogen gas production, and its intrinsic harmful property. A new approach to remove DO using a membrane-based oxygen removal system (MORS) was tried to overcome limitations of the hydrazine treatment. The DO removal efficiency of the MORS was found to be in the range 87% to 98%: The higher vacuum, the lower water flow rate and the higher water temperature tend to increase the DO removal efficiency.

  • Catalytic pyrolysis of Geodae-Uksae 1, a kind of miscanthus found in Korea, was carried out over mesoporous MCM-48 catalysts. For rapid product analysis and catalyst evaluation, pyrolysis-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry was used. X-ray diffraction, nitrogen sorption, pyridine adsorbed Fourier transform infrared, and NH3 temperature programmed desorption were utilized to analyze the properties of the catalysts. Compared to non-catalytic reaction, catalytic upgrading over mesoporous Al-MCM-48 catalysts produced a higher-quality bio-oil with a high stability and low oxygen content. Al-MCM-48 exhibited higher deoxygenation ability than Si-MCM-48 due to its higher acidity.

  • The cis- and trans-diastereomers of the 7,8-dihydro-7-deazapurine derivatives were synthesized from the corresponding diastereomers of 4-tran5-cyano-2-methyl-3-phenyl-5-oxopyrrolidine (5), which were reduced from the 2-cis- and 2-tran5-diastereomers of 4-trans-cyano-2-hydroxymethyl-3-phenyl-5-oxopyrrolidine (2) via tosylation, iodination and following elimination respectively. The prepared cis- and ttans-diastereomers of 6-amino-2-mercapto-8-methyl-7-phenyl-7,8-dihydro-7(9H)-deazapurine (8) were transferred to the corresponding 2-methylthio-diastereomers 9 and following desulfurization with Raney-nickel leaded to the cis and trans-diastereomers of 6-amino-8-methyl-7-phenyl-7,8-dihydro-7(9H)-deazapurine (10), respectively. The synthesized 7-deazapurine derivatives were tested for their antibiotic activity by the serial two-fold dilution method.

  • The feasibility of waste concrete as a catalyst for the effective pyrolysis of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) was examined using thermogravimetric (TG) and pyrolyzer-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (Py-GC/MS) analyses. TG analysis results indicated that the maximum decomposition temperature of PET is not altered by the use of waste concrete, showing similar values (407 ℃ and 408 ℃ at 5 ℃/min). Meanwhile, the volatile product distribution data obtained from the Py-GC/MS analysis revealed that the use of waste concrete promoted the deoxygenation reaction via converting the oxygen containing products such as benzoic acids, benzoates, and terephthalates to valuable deoxygenated aromatic hydrocarbons including benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and styrene. This suggests that the waste concrete can be used as a potential catalyst for the production of valuable aromatic hydrocarbons from PET pyrolysis.

  • The biodegradation experiment, the TOD analysis and the element analysis for dispersant, Bunker-A oil and Bunker-B oil were conducted to study the biodegradation characteristics of a mixture of Bunker-A oil with dispersant and a mixture of Bunker-B oil with dispersant in the seawater. The results of biodegradation experiment showed 1mg of dispersant to be equivalent to 0.26 mg of $BOD_5$ and to 0.60 mg of $BOD_{20}$ in the natural seawater. The results of TOD analysis showed each 1 mg of dispersant, Bunker-A oil and Bunker-B oil to be equivalent to 2.37 mg, 2.94 mg and 2.74 mg of TOD, respectively. The results of element analysis showed carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and phosphorus contents of dispersant to be $82.1\%,\;13.8\%,\;1.8\%\;and\;2.2\%$, respectively. Carbon and hydrogen contents of Bunker-A oil were found to be $73.3\%\;and\;13.5\%$, respectively, and carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen contents of Bunker-B oil to be $80.4\%,\;12.3\%\;and\;0.7\%$, respectively. Accordingly, the detection of nitrogen and phosphorus in dispersant shows that dispersants should be used with caution in coastal waters, with relation to eutrophication. The biodegradability of dispersant expressed as the ratio of $BOD_5/TOD$ was found to be $11.0\%$. As the mix ratios of dispersant to Bunker-A oil (3 mg/l) and a mixture of Bunker-B oil (3mg/l) were changed from 1 : 10 to 5 : 10, the biodegradabilities of a mixture of Bunker-A oil with dispersant and Bunker-B oil with dispersant increased from $2.1\%\;to\;7.2\%$ and from $1.0\%\;to\;4.4\%$, respectively. Accordingly, the dispersant belongs to the organic matter group of middle-biodegradability while mixtures in the mix ratio range of $1:10\~5:10$ belong to the organic matter group of low-biodegradability. The deoxygenation rate constant $(K_1)$ and ultimate biochemical oxygen demand $(L_0)$ obtained from the biodegradation experiment and Thomas slope method were found to be 0.125/day and 2.487 mg/l for dispersant (4 mg/l), respectively. $K_1\;and\;L_0$, were found to be $0.079\~0.131/day$ and $0.318\~2.052\;mg/l$ for a mixture of Bunker-A oil with dispersant and to be $0.106\~0.371/day$ and $0.262\~1.106\;mg/l$ for a mixture of Bunker-B oil with dispersant, respectively, having $1:10\~5:10$ mix ratios of dispersant to Bunker-A oil and Bunker-B oil. The ultimate biochemical oxygen demands of the mixtures increased as the mix ratio of dispersant to Bunker-A, B oils changed from 1 : 10 to 5 : 10. This suggests that the more dispersants are applied to the sea for the cleanup of Bunker-A oil or Bunker-B oil, the more decreases the dissolved oxygen level in the seawater.
