The effects of actively stimulating devices (ASD) on juvenile flatfish escape were studied to increase escape rates from the cod end by encouraging fish to approach the net wall. Two kinds of ASD were designed: a fluttering net panel, i.e., a free-end flag-like net panel, and a double conical rope array. Escape responses of juvenile bastard halibut were observed in a circulating water channel using two model cod ends, one made with diamond-shaped 43-mm-mesh-size polyethylene (PE) as a high-contrast cod end and the other with polyamid (PA) mono-ply as a low-contrast cod end. Retention rate was significantly lower with the double conical rope-array ASD in the PE cod end than with conventional PE cod ends only or the fluttering net-panel ASD inside the PE cod end. Mean retention rate with the low-contrast PA cod end was also significantly lower than that with the high-contrast PE conventional cod end. Therefore, active fluttering devices using a double conical rope array together with less visible low-contrast netting in the cod end could help to reduce the bycatch of juvenile flatfish by weakening their optomotor response and actively driving fish to the side net panel.

In this study, it was attempted to remove nitrate and carbon in a single-stage reactor using acetate as substrate. Hybrid type upflow sludge baffled filter reactor was adopted using anaerobic sludge. Sludge bed in the bottom of reactor was intended to remove carbon and nitrate by denitrification and methanogenesis. And floating media in the upper part of reactor were intended to remove remaining carbon which was not removed due to the inhibition of nitrogen oxide on methane producing bacteria. The reactor removed over 96% of COD and most of nitrate with volumetric loading rate of $4.0kgCOD/m^3{\cdot}day$, hydraulic retention time of 24hr, 4,000mgCOD/L, and $266mgNO_3-N/L$. Nitrate in anaerobic sludge was converted to nitrogen gas(denitrification) or ammonia (ammonification) according to pH of influent, COD removal efficiency was easily affected by the change of volumetric loading rates and nitrate concentration. And when influent pH was about 4.7, most nitrate changed to ammonia while when influent pH was about 6.8~7.0, most nitrate denitrified independent of $COD/NO_3-N$ ratio. Most granules were gray and a few were black. In gray-colored granule, black inner side was covered with gray substance and SEM illustrated Methanoccoci type microorganisms which were compact spherical shape. Anaerobic filter removed residual COD effectively which was left in sludge bed due to the inhibition of nitrogen oxide.

This study focused on coastal water quality response to land-based and sediment pollution loads and estimation of the carrying capacity in Masan Bay using an ecological model with the data in summer of 2002. A residual current was simulated to have a slightly complicated pattern with ranging from 0.1 to 1.5 cm/s. In Masan Bay, pollutant materials cannot flow from the inner to the outer bay easily because of residual currents flow southward at surface and northward at the bottom. The simulation results of COD distribution showed high concentrations over 3 mg/L in the inner part of Masan Bay related pollutant discharge. For improvement seawater quality grade I in Masan Bay, it is necessary to reduce the organic and inorganic loads from point sources by more than 80%. For improvement seawater quality grade II, it is necessary to reduce the organic and inorganic loads from point sources by more than 50% and ameliorate severe polluted sediment. The carrying capacity for COD is 2.32 ton/day and 7.16 ton/day for each grade.

BACKGROUND: Anaerobic digestion is the most feasible technology because not only the energy embedded in organic matters can be recovered, but also they are stabilized while being degraded. This study carried out to improve methane yield of slaughterhouse wastewater treatment sludge cake by the thermal pre-treatment prior to anaerobic digestion.METHODS AND RESULTS: Slaughterhouse wastewater treatment sludge cake was pre-treated by the closed hydrothermal reactor at reaction temperature of 190℃. BMPs (Biochemical methane potential) of the thermal hydrolysate was tested in the different S(Substrate)/I(Inoculum) ratio conditions. COD(Chemical oxygen demand) and SCOD(Soluble chemical oxygen demand) contents of thermal hydrolysate were 10.99% and 10.55%, respectively, then, the 96.00% of COD was remained as a soluble form. The theoretical methane potential of thermal hydrolysate was 0.51 Nm³ kg^-1-VS_added. And BMPs were decreased from 0.56 to 0.22 Nm³ kg^-1-VS_added when S/I ratio were increased from 0.1 to 2.0 in the VS content basis. Those were decreased from 0.32 to 0.13 Nm³ kg^-1-COD_added when S/I ratio were increased from 0.1 to 2.0 based on COD content. The anaerobic degradability of VS basis have showed 196.9%, 102.2%, 80.7%, 67.4%, and 39.4% in S/I ratios of 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0, respectively. Also the COD of 119.6%, 76.3%, 70.1%, 69.0%, and 43.1% were degraded anaerobically in S/I ratios of 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0, respectively.CONCLUSION: BMPs obtained in the S/I ratios of 0.1 and 0.3 was overestimated by the residual organic matters remaining at the inoculum. And inhibitory effect was observed in the highest S/I ratio of 2.0. The optimum S/I ratios giving reasonable BMPs might be in the range of 0.5 and 1.0 in S/I ratio. Therefore VS biodegradability of thermal hydrolysate was in 67.4-80.7% and COD biodegradability showed 69.0-70.1%.

The korean government started to ban the sanitary landfill of food wastes as of 2005. The radical change of policy is primarily due to the limited landfill site, but aimed to promote not only to reduce the food waste production but also to enhance the reuse and recycle. The performance of elutriated acid fermentation to evaluate the effects of elutriating ratios was investigated. The fermenters were operated with elutriating water to food waste volumetric ratio of 2, 1, 0.5 and 0.25. Initial pH of elutriating water was set for 9 based on the pH effects study. The cumulative amounts of SCOD production rate were $0.34gSCOD/gVS_i$, $0.45gSCOD/gVS_i$, $0.26gSCOD/gVS_i$ and $0.28gSCOD/gVS_i$ with the ratios of 2, 1, 0.5 and 0.25, respectively. The cumulative productions of VFAs were 0.12 gVFAs as $COD/gVS_i$, 0.28 gVFAs as $COD/gVS_i$, 0.21 gVFAs as $COD/gVS_i$ and 0.14 gVFAs as $COD/gVS_i$ with the ratios of 2, 1, 0.5 and 0.25, respectively. The volume reduction were 58%, 52%, 45% and 47% with the ratios of 2, 1, 0.5 and 0.25, respectively.

The synthesis of novel group 9 metal complexes containing the S,S'-chelate ligands, $Li_2S_2C_2B_{10}H_{10}$ (2a) and $LiS(S=PMe_2)C_2B_{10}H_{10$} (2b), is described. Two new dinuclear complexes of the type $[{(cod)M}_2(S,S'-S_2C_2B_{10}H_{10})]$ (cod = 1,5-cyclooctadiene; M = Rh (3a), or Ir (3b)) were synthesized by the reaction of chloridebridged dimers $[M({\mu}-Cl)(cod)]_2$ with one molar equivalent of the corresponding dilithium dithiolato ligand $Li_2S_2C_2B_{10}H_{10}$ (2a). X-ray crystal structure analysis of 3a revealed a dinuclear structure in which each (cod)Rh unit is attached to a distinct sulfur atom of a 1,2-dithio-o-carboranyl ligand (2a). Additionally, the electrochemical properties of 3a and 3b were investigated by cyclic voltammetry. In an analogous manner, reaction of the lithium dithiolato ligand $LiS(S=PMe_2)C_2B_{10}H_{10}$ (2b) with $Cp^{\ast}CoI_2(CO)$ produced a mononuclear dithiolato complex, $[Cp^{\ast}CoI{(S,S'-S(S=PMe_2)C_2B_{10}H_{10})}]$ (4), which was characterized by single-crystal X-ray analysis.

수역의 유기오염 개선을 위하여 생활하수, 산업폐수 등의 저하시키는데 주안점을 두어왔으나 공공수역에서의 제거되지 않은 질소와 인의 유입으로 부영양화가 진행되어 하천에는 남조류가 대량발생하고 해역에는 적조가 광역에서 발생하여 큰 사회문제가 되고 있고, 질소와 인의 유입으로 인한 자생 COD가 전체COD의 약 절반을 차지하고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 앞으로의 수질을 개선하기 위해서는 조류증식의 제한인자인 질소와 인의 규제가 필요할 뿐만아니라 하수처리장에 고차처리를 적용하거나, 해양의 회석자용을 이용한 Ocean을 적용하여 연안해역 수질을 관리해야 할 것이다. 따라서 본 연구는 수영만을 대상으로 Ocean Outfall과 폐수처리시절을 적절하게 조합하기 위해서 3차원 생태계모델을 적용하여 유기물질 뿐만 아니라 영양염류인 질소와 인의 농도를 예측하여 환경기준을 만족시키고 비용을 최소화 할 수 있는 폐수처리공법과 해중방류관의 위치를 선정하고자 하였다. 본 연구결과 수영만의 1994년 COD는 II등급, DIN과 DIP는 III등급이었다. 현재의 활성슬러지공법으로 질소와 인을 제거하지 않고 방류할 경우 2001년에 는 하수처리량의 증가로 인해 COD의 경우 1994년 보다 조금 감소하지만 DIN 과 DIP는 1994년과 같은 III등급을 유지하였다. 고도처리공법을 도입할 경우 COD의 농도는 광안리와 해운대해수욕장에서 I등급을 보이고, DIP의 농도도 수영만 전체에서 강등급을 보이지만, DM의 농도는 광안리해수욕장에서 II등급, 해운대해수욕장에서 IH등급을 보였다 하수처리장 유출수를 Ocean Outfall을 이용하여 하수처리장으로부터 4km에 서 방류할 경우의 COD농도는 I등급을 보이고, DE 농도도 광안리와 해운대해 수욕장에서는 I등급을 보이고, DU의 농도는 ll등급을 보여 수질이 개선된 것 을 볼 수 있다. 이상에서와 같이 광안리와 해운대해수욕장의 해역환경기준 ll등급을 만족 하는 하수처리방법은 Ocean Outfall이었다. 수영하수처리장에 인을 처리하기 위한 화학적 침전법의 경우 956억원이 소요되고, 질소를 제거하기 위한 질소제거공정을 추가 건설 할 경우는 2181억원이 전요된다. 그리고 두공정을 같이 건설할 경우에는 3137억원의 비용이 소요된다 수영하수처리장에서 4km 거리와 관경을 2m의 Ocean Outfall 건설비용은 325 억원 정도가 소요되는 것으로 산출되었다. 고차처리시 증가되는 비용으로 건설할 수 있는 Ocean Outfall의 길이는 인 제거공정을 첨가하는 경우에는 18km을 건설할 수 있고, 질소제거공정을 첨가 하는 경우에는 46km를 건설할 수 있는 것으로 산출되었다.

In order to utilize marine processing waste which would normally be discarded, cod liver protein was hydrolysed by ${\alpha}$-chymotrysin, and the hydrolysate was investigated for the new angiotensin I converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor. Thy hydrolysate was separated into three major types, with molecular weight cut-off (MWCO) values less than 10 kDa, 5 kDa and 1 kDa of ultrafiltration membranes, respectively. ACE inhibitory peptides were isolated from the fractions passed through MWCO 1 kDa membrane, and purified by using ion-exchange chromatography on a SP-Sephadex C-25 column, gel filtration on a Sephadex G-15 column, and HPLC on an ODS column. The purity was identified with capillary electrophoresis. The amino acid sequences of two peptides were Met-Ile-Pro-Pro-Tyr-Tyr (IC50=10.9 ${\mu}$M) and Gly-Leu-Arg-Asn-Gly-Ile (IC50=35.0 ${\mu}$M)

This study was carried to investigate the treatment characteristics of the phenol and catechol with an anaerobic fluidized bed reactor(AFBR) having a dimension of 9 cm i.d. and 1.25 m height. The reactor was operated at $35\pm 1\circ$C. The COD concentration of the effluent, the gas production rate and the composition of gas were measured to determine the performance of the AFBR as the hydraulic retention time(HRT) was decreased from 2 days to i day at 600 mg/l of the phenol and catechol concentration. Stable treatment of the phenol wastewater could be achieved with the AFBR at 18 days but the catechol wastewater couldn't be. At HRT 2 days, the phenol wastewater showed the COD reduction efficiency of 93% and the gas production of 2.7 l/day and the catechol wastewater was obtained the COD reduction efficiency of 82% and the gas production of 0.72 l/day. Also at HRT 1 day the phenol and catechol wastewater showed the COD reduction efficiency of 95% and 73% and the gas production of 4.0 l/day and 1.25 l/day, respectively.
