Superoxide dismutase (SOD) was purified from Pseudomonas polycolor to an electrophoretically homogeneous state and partially characterized. SOD was purified by ammonium sulfate fractionation, column chromatography on DEAE-Sephadex A-50, phenyl-Toyopearl 650 M, and gel filtration on Sephadex G-100. The molecular weight and subunit molecular weight of the purified enzyme were estimated to be 40, 000 and 20, 000, respectively. The purified enzyme remained stable at pH 9.0~11.0, $25^{\circ}C$ for 40 hr, but rapidly became inactive below 9.0. SOD was stable up to $45^{\circ}C$ at pH 9.0 with about 80% relative activity, but rapidly became inactive at temperature above that. The enzyme was insensitive to cyanide and fluoride, and sensitive to hydrogen peroxide and azide. The results suggest that the enzyme be an iron-containing SOD.

Methane steam reforming (MSR) was studied in a membrane reactor (MR) with a Pd-based and a porous alumina membranes. MRs showed methane conversion higher than that foresaw by the thermodynamic equilibrium for a traditional reactor (TR). Silica membranes prepared at KRICT were characterized with permeation tests on single gases ($N_2$, $H_2$ and $CH_4$). These silica membranes can be also used for high temperature applications such as $H_2$ separation $CO_2$ hydrogenation for methanol production is another reaction where $H_2O$ selective removal can be performed with these silica membranes.

The titania nanotubular layer for photocatalytic application was synthesized by anodization process in HF solution and the photocatalytic efficiencies of nanotubular film were evaluated by the decomposition rate of aniline blue. In order to facilitate the photocatalytic reaction, the electron acceptors such as potassium bromate, hydrogen peroxide and ammonium persulfate were added to aniline blue solution and the effects of electron acceptors on the dye degradation efficiency were evaluated. The results showed that the photocatalytic efficiency has markedly improved by adding the electron acceptors.

가스분리막을 이용한 분리공정은 기존의 분리공정을 대체할 공정으로서 수십 년간 발전이 되어 왔다. 특히 분리막 공정은 가스분리에 있어서 기존공정에 비해서 에너지 소모가 적고 설치에 필요한 공간이 간소하며, 스케일업이 간단한 장점이 있다. 최근에는 기체분리막 공정은 질소발생장치, 수소발생장치, 막제습기, 선박이나 항공기용 불활성기체충진장치, 천연가스 정제, 바이오가스 정제, 연료전지분야에서 널리 사용이 되고 있으며, 향후에는 이산화탄소의 분리에도 강력한 대체공정으로 사용이 될 수 있다. 이러한 가스분리막 공정을 좀 더 널리 보급하기 위해서는 로베슨 플롯의 한계를 넘어설 수 있는 새로운 소재의 개발이 절실하며, 이러한 한계를 돌파하기 위하여 많은 연구자와 회사들이 카도그룹이나 스피로 구조를 가지는 고분자나 PIMs 같은 소재의 개발에 박차를 가하고 있다.

The photosynthetic bacterium, Rhodospirillum rubrum S1, when grown under anaerobic conditions, generated three different types of catalases. In this study, we purified and characterized the highest molecular weight catalase from the three catalases. The total specific catalase activity of the crude cell extracts was 88 U/mg. After the completion of the final purification step, the specific activity of the purified catalase was 1,256 U/mg. The purified catalase evidenced an estimated molecular mass of 318 kDa, consisting of four identical subunits, each of 79 kDa. The purified enzyme exhibited an apparent Km value of 30.4 mM and a Vmax of 2,564 U against hydrogen peroxide. The enzyme also exhibited a broad optimal pH $(5.0{\sim}9.0)$, and remained stable over a broad temperature range $(20^{\circ}C{\sim}60^{\circ}C)$. It maintained 90% activity against organic solvents (ethanol/chloroform) known hydroperoxidase inhibitors, and exhibited no detectable peroxidase activity. The catalase activity of the purified enzyme was reduced to 19 % of full activity as the result of the administration of 10 mM 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole, a heme-containing catalase inhibitor. Sodium cyanide, sodium azide, and hydroxylamine, all of which are known heme protein inhibitors, inhibited catalase activity by 50 % at concentrations of $11.5{\mu}M,\;0.52{\mu}M,\;and\;0.11{\mu}M$, respectively. In accordance with these findings, the enzyme was identified as a type of monofunctional catalase.

Shutdown chemistry evolution is performed in nuclear power plants at each refueling outage (RFO) to establish safe conditions to open system and minimize inventory of corrosion products in the reactor coolant system (RCS). After hydrogen peroxide is added to RCS during shutdown chemistry evolution, corrosion products are released and are removed by filters and ion exchange resins in the chemical volume control system (CVCS). Shutdown chemistry evolution including RCS clean-up time to remove released corrosion products impacts the critical path schedule during RFOs. The estimation of clean-up time prior to RFO can provide more reliable actions for RCS clean-up operations and transients to operators during shutdown chemistry. Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) shutdown calculator (SDC) enables to provide clean-up time by Co-58 peak activity through operational data from nuclear power plants (NPPs). In this study, we have investigated the results of EPRI SDC by shutdown chemistry data of Co-58 activity using NPP data from previous cycles and modeled the estimated clean-up time by EPRI SDC using average Co-58 activity of the NPP. We selected two RFO data from the NPP to evaluate EPRI SDC results using the purification time to reach to 1.3 mCi/cc of Co-58 after hydrogen peroxide addition. Comparing two RFO data, the similar purification time between actual and computed data by EPRI SDC, 0.92 and 1.74 h respectively, was observed with the deviation of 3.7-7.2%. As the modeling the estimated clean-up time, we calculated average Co-58 peak concentration for normal cycles after cycle 10 and applied two-sigma (2σ, 95.4%) for predicted Co-58 peak concentration as upper and lower values compared to the average data. For the verification of modeling, shutdown chemistry data for RFO 17 was used. Predicted RCS clean-up time with lower and upper values was between 21.05 and 27.58 h, and clean-up time for RFO 17 was 24.75 h, within the predicted time band. Therefore, our calculated modeling band was validated. This approach can be identified that the advantage of the modeling for clean-up time with SDC is that the primary prediction of shutdown chemistry plans can be performed more reliably during shutdown chemistry. This research can contribute to improving the efficiency and safety of shutdown chemistry evolution in nuclear power plants.

이 연구에서는 국내 개발중인 초고온가스로 (VHTR: Very High Temperature Reactor)를 대상으로, 발생되는 삼중수소 양, 계통간 이송, 제거, 분포 그리고 최종적으로 생산된 수소에 대한 삼중수소에 의한 오염 준위를 예측할 수 있는 해석 모델인 TRITGO 코드를 소개하였고, 수소를 생산하는 IS (Iodine Sulfide) 계통으로의 삼중수소 투과양을 모의할 수 있도록 코드를 개선하였다. 또한 GT-MHR 600MW 열출력을 가정, 최종 수소 생산물의 삼중수소에 의한 오염치를 예측하였다. 예상 오염치는 약 0.055 Bq/$H_2-g$으로 일본 규제치 56 Bq/$H_2-g$에 약 1/1000 수준으로 낮게 예측되었다. 모의 결과 삼중수소 방출을 억제하기 위해서는 피복관의 건전성 유지 및 헬륨 냉각재와 흑연으로 구성된 반사체내 불순물인 $^3He$ 및 Li을 가능한한 낮은 준위로 유지하는 것이 필요함을 보여 주었다. 또한 냉각재내 불순물을 직접 제거할 수 있는 정화계통의 성능이 중요한 설계인자로 판단되었다.
