당질계 및 전분질계 바이오 매스(1세대 바이오 매스)의 단점은 식량고갈의 문제로 인한 원료수급이 불안정하여 원료비 상승과 함께 원료 확보라는 문제에 당면해 있다. 이를 해결하기 위한 다양한 대책이 모색되었고 그 대책으로 목질계 바이오 매스(2세대 바이오 매스)에 대한 연구가 이루어져 왔다. 그러나 목질계 바이오 매스는 매우 복잡하고 어려운 Lignin 제거 문제에 직면하게 되었다. 그리하여 현재는 기존의 바이오 매스의 단점을 극복할 새로운 바이오 매스인 비 식용작물의 관심이 증가하고 있다. 비 식용작물 바이오 매스는 당질계 및 전분질계 바이오 매스와 달리 식량문제로 인한 원료비의 상승이나 원료 확보 면에서 안전하며 또한 기존 목질계 바이오 매스에 비해 보다 쉽게 Lignin을 제거할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 비 식용작물 중 Cellulose 함량이 높고 Lignin 함량이 상대적으로 낮은 억새를 이용하여 암모니아 공정 전처리의 최적화 조건을 연구하였다. 공정변수로는 암모니아 농도, 반응시간, 반응온도를 선정하였으며 전처리 후 각 반응물의 Cellulose 함유율, Lignin 함유율, 잔류 고체량 및 가수분해도를 반응표면 분석법을 이용하여 최적 전처리 조건을 확립하였다. 최적조건 탐색 결과는 암모니아 반응농도; 11.27%, 반응온도; $157.75^{\circ}C$, 반응시간; 10.01 min으로 최적 반응조건을 결정할 수 있었으며 최적조건으로 전처리 후 억새의 상대적인 Cellulose 함유율; 39.98%, Lignin 함유율; 8.01%, 가수분해도; 85.89%의 결과를 얻어, 억새가 기존 목질계 바이오 매스들보다 전처리 및 당화 발효에 있어 유리한 기질이라고 결론지을 수 있다.

목질계 바이오매스의 구성성분 중 건조중량으로 약 $18{\sim}33%$를 차지하고있는 리그닌은, 기본적 단위물질이 가솔린의 성분물질과 화학적으로 유사한 구조를 형성하고 있기 때문에, 분해하여 저분자물질로 전환시킨다면 연료 또는 연료첨가제로 사용될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 실험실용 관형반응기를 사용하여 반응온도 $250{\sim}450^{\circ}C$, 반응시간 $20{\sim}80$분의 범위에서 용매상 열분해 ${\cdot}$ 액화반응을 수행하였으며 리그닌의 열분해 ${\cdot}$ 액화반응특성을 조사하기 위하여 전환율을 측정하였는데 아세톤을 열분해 용매로 사용한 경우 가장 높은 전환율은 $350^{\circ}C$, 50분의 55.5%로 측정되었으며, 타르의 발생량은 $250^{\circ}C$의 경우 $260{\sim}350mg/g\;{\cdot}\;lignin$으로 가장 높게 나타났다. 타르성분을 제거한 후 전환율을 측정한 경우 가장 높은 전환율은 $300^{\circ}C$, 30분의 76.88%로 측정되어 열분해시 일차적으로 생성되는 타르의 분해도에 따라 전환율 값이 좌우되며 생성물의 조성과 생성량이 좌우됨을 확인할 수 있었다.

Seven white rot fungi (Irpex lactenis, Coriolus hirsutus, Lopharia mirabilis, Schizopora paradoxa, Ganoderma lucidum, Pleurotus ostreatus and Pycnoporus coccineus) native to Korea and two famous exotic lignin degradable white rot fungi (Coriolus versicolor and Phanerochaete chrysosporium) were investigated to clarify their physiological and physicochemical characteristics on white-rotted wood blocks. G. lucidum degraded wood blocks more seriously than those by exotic lignin-degrading fungi, C. versicolor and P. chrysosporium, but only slightly decreasecl the strength of wood which was compared to the weight loss, persumably on the account of its small use of cellulose when attacking wood. It is quite interesting to note that the holocellulose degradation rate of G. lucidum was also higher than any of the other tested fungi. The order of fungi, according to the lignin-decomposing rates, was G. lucidum>P. coccineus>C. versicolor>S. paradoxa>P. chrysosporium>L. mirabilis>P. ostreatus>C. hirsutus>I. lactenis. The lignin degradation of G. lucidum and P. coccineus which were collected in Korea was greater than that of C. versicolor and P. chrysosporium. If holocellulose degradation is not considered. G. lcidum has the merit of actual application in biomass conversion due to linin removal.

Hanji, the korean traditional papers were mostly made from mulberry paper. But the production and demand of hanji have decreased rapidly because mulberry paper yields were insufficient and handworked hanji procedures were complicated. Recently, the researches on hanji were carried out to improve the properties of hanji. Kenaf fibers have been interested as a substitute resource of mulberry paper for hanji production. In this research, Kenai pulps were manufactured with removal methods of lignin or hemicellulose from kenaf fibers and paper mulberry pulps with traditional alkali methods. Kenaf papers, paper mulberry, and kenaf/paper mulberry mixed papers were manufactured with their pulps. The crystallinity, fiber length, color of the pulps and tensile strength, tear strength, water absorption of the papers were investigated. The results were as follow: The removal rates of lignin of chemical retted kenaf fibers with sodium chlorite reaction for 40 minutes were 70% and were higher than 40% of double retted fibers. Paper mulberry pulps has less lignin and hemicellulose than kenaf differently. The crystallinity of paper mulberry pulps were very low with 60%, but kenaf pulps were 90%. The chemical retted CR-40-1 pulps were similar with paper mulberry pulps on fiber length & fibrilation of fibers. Tensile strength of paper mulberry were higher than kenaf papers because of fibrilation of paper mulberry, but tear strength were lower. Tensile strength and tear strength were improved on kenaf/paper mulberry 30/70 mixed papers.

This work was conducted to evaluate the effect of dilute sodium hydroxide (NaOH) on barley straw at boiling temperature and fractionation of its biomass components into lignin, hemicellulose, and reducing sugars. To this end, various concentrations of NaOH (0.5% to 2%) were applied for pretreatment of barley straw at $105^{\circ}C$ for 10 min. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy studies revealed that 2% NaOH-pretreated barley straw exposed cellulose fibers on which surface granules were abolished due to comprehensive removal of lignin and hemicellulose. The X-ray diffractometer (XRD) result showed that the crystalline index was increased with increased concentration of NaOH and found a maximum 71.5% for 2% NaOH-pretreated sample. The maximum removal of lignin and hemicellulose was 84.8% and 79.5% from 2% NaOH-pretreated liquor, respectively. Reducing sugar yield was 86.5% from 2% NaOH-pretreated sample using an enzyme dose containing 20 FPU of cellulase, 40 IU of ${\beta}$-glucosidase, and 4 FXU of xylanase/g substrate. The results of this study suggest that it is possible to produce the bioethanol precursor from barley straw using 2% NaOH at boiling temperature.

The two stage laccase-assisted delignification process led to significant lignin removal in the non-pressurized treatments. It is clearly shown that an alkaline extraction prior to the second laccase treatment significantly increased the overall delignification by ∼15%. This is in line with the contention that the residual lignin has undergone structural changes during the alkaline extraction, and the resulting modified structures are susceptible to the laccase oxidation. In phenolic hydroxyl group, the pre- methylated sample was very responsive to the delignification process. The phenolic hydroxyl groups could be increased during side chain cleavage catalyzed by laccase. This finding demonstrates that the delignification oi etherified structures is an important reaction in the delignificaton by laccase.

White rot fungi have been useful source of enzymes for the degradation of environmental pollutants including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and synthetic dyes. PAHs are widespread organic compounds present in fossil fuels and are routinely generated by incomplete fuel combustion. PAHs are some of the major toxic pollutants of water and soil environments. Synthetic dyes are major water-pollutants, which are toxic to organisms in water environments and interfere photosynthesis of water plants. Removal of PAHs and synthetic dyes has been of interests in the environmental science especially in the environmental microbiology. Mushrooms are fungal groups that function as primary degraders of wood polyphenolic lignin. The ligninolytic enzymes produced by mushroom, including manganese peroxidase, lignin peroxidase, and laccase, mediate the oxidative degradation of lignin. The catalytic power of these enzymes in the degradation of aromatic ring compounds has been sought for the degradation of various organic compounds. In this project, we have screened 60 wild mushroom strains for their degradation activity against two representative PAHs, naphthalene and anthracene, and five aromatic dyes, including alizarin red S, crystal violet, malachite green, methylene blue, rose bengal. The degradation of PAHs was measured by GC while the decolorization of dyes was measured by both UV spectrophotometer and HPLC. As results, 9 wild mushroom strains showed high activity in degradation of PAHs and textile dyes. We also describe the secretive enzyme activities, the transcription levels, and cloning of target genes. In conjunction with this, activities of degradative enzymes, including laccase, lignin peroxidase, and Mn peroxidase, were measured in the liquid medium in the presence of PAHs and dyes. Our results showed that the laccase activity was directed correlated with the degradation, indicating that the main enzyme acts on PAHs and dyes is the laccase. The laccase activity was further simulated by the addition of $Cu^{2+}$ ion. Detailed studies of the enzyme system should be sought for future applications.

Hydrophobic property of Kapok fiber was investigated by sequential removal of its components by different extraction methods. Acetone extraction for the removal of the hydrophobic extractives, holo-cel-lulose preparation after the removal of lignin and xylan extraction by potassium hydroxide was applied. The degree of hydrophobicity of each samples were measured by the water sorption ability. The water sorption ability of Kapok fiber was increased by the sequential treatment of acetone extraction, holocellulose preparation and xylan removal. Based on holocellulose compositional analysis by $^1H$-NMR spectroscopic method, the unusual high amount of the acetyl groups in the holocellulose of Kapok partially contributed to the hydrophobicity of Kapok holocellulose fiber.

Leaf C:N ratio is a new factor in the field of biochemical inversion with hyperspectral data. Effects of common-used spectral transformations including log(R), log(1/R), 1/R, etc. from 400nm to 2490nm on its inversion are compared. Results show that their effects on statistical modeling are not apparent. Continuum removal is used on original reflectance in the range of 2030nm to 2220nm, in which exists an apparent absorption peak due to cellulose, lignin, protein, etc. The effect is distinctive and tends to improve the precision of C:N ratio inversion. Further, it is a robust and physically based transformation.
