Batch cultivations were performed to evaluate the influences of the initial pH condition on mesophilic and thermophilic acidogenic fermentation with food waste recycling wastewater. In both conditions of mesophilic and thermophilic fermentation, TVFAs production rates were maximized at the initial pH 7 condition as 0.15 and 0.23 g TVFAs/L hr, respectively. And pH was also maintained stably between 6 and 7 during 72hr acidogenic cultivation at both conditions. However, predominant VFA components were different according to reaction temperature conditions. In mesophilic condition, propionic acid which has low conversion efficiency to methane was accumulated up to 1,348 mg/L while acetic and butyric acid were predominant in thermophilic condition. Therefore, thermophilic acidogenic fermentation was superior for the effective VFAs production than mesophilic condition. From the DGGE analysis, the band patterns were different according to the initial pH conditions but the correlations of the each band were increased in similar pH conditions. These results mean that microbial communities were certainly affected by the initial pH condition. Consequently, the adjustment of the initial pH to neutral region and thermophilic operation are needed to enhance acidogenic fermentation of food waste recycling wastewater.

pH has been regarded as a master variable governing the heavy metal sorption on fly ash. However, the chemical constituents in the fly ash could also suggest a potential sorption site for heavy metals. So, in this study sequential extraction method is employed to evaluate the sorption behavior of fly ash for cadmium. Two different fly ashes (S-fly ash, T-fly ash) were obtained from different power plants in Korea. First, cadmium is adsorbed under four different initial pHs. And, Cd sorbed in fly ash was sequentially desorbed following the sequential extraction method suggested by Tessier. In test results, the effect of pH increase was differently exerted in two fly ash. In S-fly ash, exchangeable fraction was dominated in low initial pH, however, as increasing initial pH, the fraction bound to carbonate increased. In the T-fly ash, regardless of initial pH the fraction bound to carbonate was major part of sorption estimated. The fraction bound to Fe/Mn oxide was about 10% in T-fly ash, and 5% in S-fly ash at high pH.

An efficient fermentation strategy for the high level production of ultra-high-molecular weight poly(3-hdyroxybutyrate) (PHB) was developed. Although the cell and PHA concentrations obtained by flask cultures at different initial pH (6.0 or 6.9) were almost same level, the molecular mass of PHB produced were quite different along with the initial pH. When a recombinant Escherichia coli XL1-Blue harboring pJC2 containing the Alcaligenes latus PHB biosynthesis genes was cultivated in flask culture (pH 6.0), the PHB having a very high molecular weight of 22 MDa could be produced while only below 1 MDa at initial pH 6.9. The ultra-high-molecular weight PHB could be synthesized to high concentration of 89.8 g/L resulting in the PHB productivity of 2.07 g/L-h by simple fed-batch culture. In this study, we report that PHB having various molecular mass can be produced by employing metabolically engineered E. coli strains harboring the plasmids of different copy numbers containing the A. latus phbCAB genes.

The pH efforts on the removal of 1,4-dioxane and the biodegradobility enhancement of dioxane contaminated water were investigated using $O_3/H_2O_2$ baled advanced oxidation process. Experiments were conducted using a bubble column reactor under different initial pH. The $O_3/H_2O_2$ process effectively converted 1,4-dioxane to more biodegradable intermediates which had a maximum $BOD_5$ enhancement at pH 11 within the experimental range, precisely, when the initial pH increased, $BOD_5$ enhanced. However, in case of removal efficiencies of 1,4-dioxane during $O_3/H_2O_2$ oxidation the optimum condition was shown at pH 9 compared with pH 6 and 11. TOC and COD values were not largely changed for all reaction time. From the results of 1,4-dioxane removal efficiency, TOC, COD, and $BOD_5$ enhancement with reaction time, it was surely observed that 1,4-dioxane was just converted to biodegradable materials, not completely oxidized to carbon dioxide.

The effluent quality of phosphorus is strengthened by the national standard to conserve water resources to lessen the eutrophication threat. The soluble phosphate in the wastewater effluent can be removed using the converter slag as solid waste produced through the steel making process. The experiments for removal efficiencies and removal constants were performed for this research with the artificial wastewater following several different conditions, particle size, phosphate concentration and initial pH. The correlation coefficients of Freundlich adsorption isothem were 0.9505 for $PS_A$, 0.9183 for $PS_B$, respectively. The removal efficiency was 87-94 % for $PS_A$ and 90-96 % for $PS_B$ respectively. The pH of the wastewater was elevated to pH 11.8 for the initial pH 8.5, phosphate removal efficiency was the highest as 84 % ~ 98 %. In case of 10 mg/L of the intial phosphate, the removal efficiency was 96 ~ 98 %. The more initial pH increases, the higher the reaction rate constant is.

본 연구는 배양초기 pH 조건이 F. succino- genes의 섬유소 부착과 섬유소 소화에 미치는 영향을 보고자 실시하였다. 선정된 specific primer를 이용하여 F. succinogenes의 genomic DNA로부터 445bp의 16S rDNA 절편을 증폭하여 205bp의 internal control을 제작하였고, cPCR 결과로부터 박테리아 수를 계산할 수 있는 표준곡선의 회귀식($r^2$>0.99)을 얻을 수 있었다. In vitro 배양초기 pH에 따른 F. succ- inogenes의 cellulose 부착을 cPCR로 모니터링한 결과, 발효과정 전 기간동안 초기 pH가 6.8과 6.2일 때 cellulose 건물 g당 부착 균주의 수가 pH 5.6일 때 보다 높았으나, pH 6.8과 6.2 사이에서는 큰 차이는 없었다(p>0.05). Cellulose 분해는 배양시간이 진행됨에 따라 증가 되었으며, 분해 정도는 pH가 증가함에 따라 더 높았다. 배양초기 pH가 6.8, 6.2 그리고 5.8일 때 48시간동안 감소한 pH는 각각 0.24, 0.58 그리고 0.16 이었다. 가스 생산량은 발효 시간이 경과함에 따라 pH가 높을수록 더 많았다. 결론적으로 발효 초기 pH는 F. succinogenes에 의한 cellulose 소화, 가스 생산, pH 변화 및 cellulose 부착에 큰 영향을 주었으며, 특히, 낮은 pH(5.8)에서는 섬유소 소화 및 박테리아 부착을 현저한 감소 시켰다.

This study was focused on the reactivity of furnace slag against cadmium to design the vertical drain method with reactive column for improving contaminated sea shore sediment. The removal capacity of furnace slag was analyzed using pseudo-second-order model. And the effective parameters of removal test were initial concentration and initial pH. According to equilibrium removal amount and reactive constant calculated by pseudo-second-order model, the removal capacity was analyzed. Equilibrium removal amount of furnace slag was linearly increased as increasing intial cadmium concentration. Because the pH was around 11, the removal mechanism of furnace slag could be both sorption and precipitation. Therefore the removal amount was increased due to initial concentration. pH was increased to around 11 in the case of "No treat", but the pH were 3.8 in the case of "HAc added" and 0.7 in the case of "HCl added". The removal amount was different 4.8, 1.19 and 0.27 mg/g. This results show the pH was major factor to remove cadmium using furnace slag.

In this study, lab-scale phosphorus coagulation/precipitation experiments were performed using three types of polyaluminum chloride (PAC) with different Al contents (10%, 12%, and 17%). The PO₄-P removal efficiencies at various operating conditions, such as initial PO₄-P concentration, initial pH, and Al/P molar ratio, were evaluated, and correlations among the operating factors affecting phosphorus coagulation/precipitation with PAC were derived to optimize the process efficiency. When the initial PO₄-P concentration was 0.065 and 0.161 mmol P/L under an initial pH of 8-10, the optimal PAC dose was 0.126-0.378 and 0.189-0.667 mmol Al/L, respectively. Under these conditions, the Al/P molar ratio was 2.16-6.18 and 1.28-4.30, respectively, and the PO₄-P removal efficiency was in the range of 40.2-92.5%. When the Al/P molar ratio was 2 or less under an initial pH condition of 6-8, the PO₄-P removal efficiency was approximately ≤40% owing to insufficient Al³⁺ ions. However, when the Al/P molar ratio is 3-5, the PO₄-P removal efficiency improved to approximately 80-90%. Thus, the optimal Al/P molar ratio to achieve a PO₄-P removal efficiency of over 90% was determined to be approximately 4 in the PO₄-P coagulation/precipitation process using PAC.

Cotton fabric was dyed with indigo at different pHs, dye concentrations, and repeated dyeings. And the K/S value and dye uptake of the dyed materials at those conditions were determined. The decrease of pH during the reduction process of indigo stock solution was observed. As a result the decrease of pH of the dye stock solution depended on the dye concentration and initial pH. The highest K/S value was shown at fabric dyed at pH 11 and the relationship between K/S value and dye uptake depended on initial pH of reduction bath and the slope was lower as the pH increased to 13.
