In this study, chemical and physical changes of dissolving pulps which have similar viscosity by dry milling and fractionation were investigated. We used two types of dissolving pulp made from wood and cotton linter fiber, respectively. Dry milling was executed by knife cutter and pulp powders were fractionated by sieve shaker into 4 grades. We analyzed fiber properties, crystallinity index, viscosity, molecular weight of pulp sheet and powders. It was found that poly-dispersity index of cotton linter pulp was smaller than that of wood pulp, meaning that cotton pulp has more narrow molecular weight distribution. It was assumed that these were related to exposure times to chemical treatment which cut cellulose chains not evenly. At least 4 times of chemical treatments for wood pulp were executed and only two times of chemical treatments for cotton linter pulp were done. After dry milling average molecular weight and crystallinity index of cotton linter pulp powders were reduced and these were related to fines content and shape of pulp powders.

The hydrophilic or hydrophobic characteristics of dissolved organic matter (DOM) from different origins in lake and river waters were investigated using spectrometric and chromatographic analyses of water samples. DOM in a deep, mesotrophic lake (Lake Unmun) was fractionated using three types of ion exchange resins and classified into aquatic humic substances (AHS), hydrophobic neutrals (HoN), hydrophilic acids (HiA), hydrophilic neutrals (HiN), and bases (BaS). The DOM fractionation provided insight into the understanding of the nature of heterogeneous DOM molecules present in different water sources. The UV/DOC ratios were determined for samples from the influent river and lake waters during DOM fractionation and incubation. AHS prevailed over DOM in the lake and river waters. After biodegradation, the relative contribution of AHS in the total DOM became more significant. It indicates that the AHS fraction would increase while water stay long time in the lake.

Flow field-flow fractionation (FlFFF) is a technology to separate the molecules by size in an open channel. Molecules with different size have different diffusivities and are located vertically in different positions when passing through an open channel. In this study, hollow fiber membranes instead of conventional rectangular channels have been used as materials for the open channel and this change would decrease the cost of manufacturing. FlFFF is a useful technique to characterize the biopolymeric materials. Retention time, diffusion coefficients and Stokes radius of analysis can be calculated from the related simple equations. Hollow-fiber flow field-flow fractionation (HF-FlFFF) has been used for the characterization and separation of protein mixture in a phosphate buffer solution and has demonstrated the potential to be developed into a disposable FlFFF channel. The important indexes for the analytical separation are selectivity, resolution and plate height. The optimized separation condition for protein mixture of Ovalbumin, Alcohol dehydrogenase, Apoferritin and Thyroglobulin is ${\dot V}_{out}/{\dot V}_{rad}=0.65/0.85\;mL/min$.

Hollow Fiber flow field-flow fractionation (HF-FlFFF) has been tested in polyacrylonitrile (PAN) membrane channel in order to compare it with polysulfone (PSf) membrane channel. It has been experimentally shown that the separation time of 0.05-0.304 ${mu}m$ polystyrene latex (PSL) standards in PAN membrane channel is shorter than that in PSf channel by approximately 65%. The optimized separation condition in PAN membrane is ${\dot V}_{out}/{\dot V}_{rad}=1.4/0.12\;mL/min$, which is equal to the condition in PSf membrane channel. In addition both the resolution ($R_s$) and plate height (H) in PAN membrane channel are better than that in PSf membrane channel. The membrane radius was obtained by back calculation with retention time. It shows that the PSf membrane is expanded by swelling and pressure, but the PAN membrane doesn't expand by swelling and pressure.

Carbon isotopic composition of a stream (Odaecheon Stream) monitored over 7 months from July 2004 to January 2005 in Gangweon Province ranges from -9.24 to -4.69‰. Strong negative correlation between ${\delta}^{13}C_{DIC}$ and water temperature suggests that temperature is a dominant factor controlling ${\delta}^{13}C_{DIC}$ in the Odaecheon Stream. The variation pattern of ${\delta}^{13}C_{DIC}$ was thought to be caused by fractionation of C isotope between stream water and atmosphere and more fractionation at reduced temperature. More fractionation of C isotope between stream water and atmosphere at reduced temperature resulted in increase of ${\delta}^{13}C_{DIC}$ of stream water in winter compared to summer. Photosynthesis and respiration of aqueous biota seem to affect little in ${\delta}^{13}C_{DIC}$ as indicated by little variation of dissolved oxygen and reverse variation pattern of Eh in the stream and scarce aqueous biota in stream water. pH seems to be controlled by $CO_2{2}$ exchange between stream water and atmosphere. During summer more $CO_2{2}$ exchange between stream water and atmosphere resulted in decrease in pH value.

This article gives an overview of a recently developed channel system, frit-inlet asymmetrical flow field-flow fractionation (FI-AFlFFF), which can be applied for the separation of nanoparticles, proteins, and water soluble polymers. A conventiona l asymmetrical flow FFF channel has been modified into a frit-inlet asymmetrical type by introducing a small inlet frit near the injection point and the system operation of the FI-AFlFFF channel can be made with a great convenience. Since sample components injected into the FI-AFlFFF channel are hydrodynamically relaxed, sample injection and separation processes proceed without interruption of the migration flow. Therefore in FI-AFlFFF, there is no requirement for a valve operation to switch the direction of the migration flow that is normally achieved during the focusing/relaxation process in a conventional asymmetrical channel. In this report, principles of the hydrodynamic relaxation in FI-AFlFFF channel are described with equations to predict the retention time and to calculate the complicated flow variations in the developed channel. The retention and resolving power of FI-AFlFFF system are demonstrated with standard nanospheres and protreins. An attempt to elucidate the capability of FI-AFlFFF system for the separation and size characterization of nanoparticles is made with a fumed silica particle sample. In FI-AFlFFF, field programming can be easily applied to improve separation speed and resolution for a highly retaining component (very large MW) by using flow circulation method. Programmed FI-AFlFFF separations are demonstrated with polystyrene sulfonate standards and pululans and the dynamic separation range of molecular weight is successfully expanded.

n order to increase the virus safety of a human intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) that was manufactured by a successive process of cold ethanol fractionation, polyethylene glycol precipitation, and pasteurization ($60^{\circ}C$ heat treatment for 10h), a low pH incubation process (pH 3.9 at $25{\circ}C$ for 14 days) was employed as the final step. The efficacy and mechanism of the fraction III cold ethanol fractionation, pasteurization, and low pH treatment steps in the removal and/or inactivation of blood-borne viruses were closely examined. A variety of experimental model viruses for human pathogenic viruses, including the Bovine herpes virus (BHV), Bovine viral diarrhoea virus (BVDV), Murine encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV), and Porcine parvovirus (PPV), were selected for this study. The mechanism of reduction for the enveloped viruses (BHV and BVDV) during fraction III fractionation was both inactivation and partitioning, however, it was partitioning in the case of the nonenveloped viruses (EMCV and PPV). The log reduction factors achieved during fraction III fractionation were ${\geqq}$6.7 for BHV, ${\geqq}4.7$ for BVDV, 4.5 for EMCV, and 4.4 for PPV. Pasteurization was found to be a robust and effective step in inactivating all the viruses tested. The log reduction factors achieved during the pasteurization process were ${\geqq}7.5$ for BHV, ${\geqq}4.8$ for BVDV, 3.0 for EMCV, and 3.3 for PPV. A low pH incubation was very effective in inactivating the enveloped viruses as well as EMCV. The log reduction factors achieved during low pH incubation were ${\geqq}7.4$ for BHV, ${\geqq}3.9$ for BVDV, 5.2 for EMCV, and 2.0 for PPV. These results indicate that the low pH treatment successfully improved the viral safety of the final products.

다양한 pH 조건하에서 휴믹물질 흡착적 분획현상에 의해 변화하는 용존 및 kaolinite에 흡착된 휴믹물질(Aldrich 휴믹산)과의 pyrene의 결합변화를 조사하였다. 먼저 흡착효과를 배제한 흡착 전 상태에서 bulk 휴믹산은, pH에 따른 분배(partitioning)과 크기별 배제효과 영향 차이에 의해 유기탄소 결합계수의 변화를 보였다. 모든 용액 pH 조건에 서 Aldrich 휴믹산은 kaolinite에 흡착하는 과정에서 분자량별 분획이 일어났으며 용존 휴믹산의 분자량은 흡착전의 분자량과는 달랐다. 그에 따라 흡착 후 남은 휴믹산과의 pyrene 결합계수는 흡착 전의 경우와 달랐다. pH 7과 9 조건에서 흡착 후 남은 휴믹산은 그 분자량과 pyrene 결합계수 사이에 양성 상관관계를 보였으나 그러한 상관관계가 pH 4의 조건하에서는 관찰되지 않았다. 이러한 차이는 흡착적 분획과정에서 pH 4인 경우 고분자에 대한 독점적 분획현상이 없었고 분자량에 대해 다소 균일한 분획이 일어났다는 점으로 설명할 수 있었다. 또한 관찰되는 분획현상 차이는 pH 조건에 따라 달라지는 흡착포화 정도 차이 때문인 것으로 사료된다. 흡착된 PAHA의 경우, 형태변화 (conformational changes) pyrene 결합에 중요한 것으로 나타났다. pH 7과 9 조건 하에서, 흡착전의 휴믹산의 경우 더 낮은 pyrene 결합계수를 보였고 이러한 형태변화효과는 pH가 높을수록 더 크게 나타났다.

SPLITT Fractionation (SF)는 콜로이드 입자 및 거대분자들을 둘 혹은 그 이상의 부분(fraction)으로 분획하는 기술이다. SF에서는 시료를 지속적으로 주입하므로 대용량 분획이 가능하다. 일반적으로, SF에서는 얇은 리본모양의 채널을 이용하는데, 채널의 입구와 출구부분에는 각각 flow stream splitter가 설치되어 있어서 채널의 입구와 출구가 위 아래로 두 개씩 존재한다. SF에는 두 가지 작동방법이 있는데, 하나는 conventional mode 이고 다른 하나는 전액 공급 모드(full feed mode, FFD)이다. FFD 모드에서의 분리도는 conventional mode 에 비해 떨어지지만, FFD 모드에는 몇 가지 독특한 장점이 있다. FFD 모드에서는 용매의 주입이 필요하지 않으므로 채널의 디자인 이나 작동이 더 간단하다. 따라서 입구 쪽에 flow stream splitter를 필요로 하지 않으며, 시료와 용매를 주입하기 위하여 두 개의 펌프가 필요한 conventional 모드와는 달리 한 개의 펌프만으로 작동이 가능하다. 또한 용매의 주입이 없으므로 시료가 희석되지 않는다. 이는 환경시료와 같이 콜로이드의 농도가 낮은 시료를 분획하고자 하는 경우 유리하다. 농도가 낮은 환경시료의 분획을 위해서는 종종 농축이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 입구에는 물론 출구에도 splitter를 사용하지 않는 새로운 대용량 FFD 모드 SF 장치를 만들었다. Splitter가 없으므로 장치를 대형화 할 수 있어서 시료처리량(throughput, TP)을 크게 증가시킬 수 있었다. 산업용 폴리우레탄(polyurethane, PU) 라텍스 입자들을 이용하여 새로운 SF 장치를 테스트하였으며, 폴리아크릴레이트(polyacrylate, PA) 입자를 대상으로 새로운 SF 장치의 TP를 확인하기 위하여 유속 및 $d_c$에 따르는 TP의 변화를 조사하였다.
