This research investigated the preparation of activated carbon derived from Krabok (Irvingia malayana) seed shells to improve the quality of crude glycerol obtained during biodiesel production. The activated carbon was prepared using a dry chemical activation method with NaOH, utilizing an innovative biomass incinerator. The results revealed that the resulting KC/AC-two-step exhibited favorable physicochemical adsorption properties, with a high surface area of 758.72 m²/g and an iodine number of 611.10 mg/g. These values meet the criteria of the industrial product standard for activated carbon No. TIS 900-2004, as specified by the Ministry of Industry in Thailand. Additionally, the adsorption efficiency for methylene blue reached an impressive 99.35 %. This developed activated carbon was then used to improve the quality of crude glycerol obtained from biodiesel production. The experimental results showed that the KC/AC-two-step increased the purity of crude glycerol to 73.61 %. In comparison, commercially available activated carbon (C/AC) resulted in a higher crude glycerol purity of 81.19 %, as analyzed by the GC technique. Additionally, the metal content (Zn, Cu, Fe, Pb, Cd, and Na) in purified glycerol using KC/AC-two-step was below the standards for heavy metals permitted in food and cosmeceuticals by the Food and Drug Administration of Thailand and the European Committee for Food Contact Materials and Articles. As a result, it can be inferred that Krabok seed shells have favorable properties for producing activated carbon suitable as an adsorbent to enhance crude glycerol purity. Furthermore, the improved crude glycerol from this research has potential for various industrial applications.

$Li^{+}$ extraction reactions with ion-exchange type lithium manganese oxide in an aqueous phase were examined using chemical and x-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. In the process of extraction reaction, the lithium manganese oxide showed a topotactic extraction of $Li^{+ }$ in the aqueous phase mainly through an ion-exchange mechanism, and the $Li^{+}$ extracted samples indicated a high selectivity and a large capacity for $Li^{+}$ . The electronic structures and chemical bonding properties were also studied using a discrete variational (DV)-X$\alpha$ molecular orbital method with cluster model of (Li$Mn_{12}$ $O_{40}$ )$^{27-}$ for tetrahedral sites and ($Li_{7}$ Mn $O_{38}$ )$^{3}$ for octahedral site in $Li_{1.33}$ $Mn_{1.67}$ / $O_{4}$ respectively. Li in the manganese oxides is highly ionized in both sites, but the net charge of Li was greater for tetrahedral sites than octahedral. These calculations suggest that the tetrahedral sites have higher $Li^{+}$ $H^{+}$ exchangeability than the octahedral sites, and are preferable for the selective adsorption for L $i^{+}$ ions.s.

본 연구에서는 AFM 양극산화법을 이용하여 서브마이크로 수준의 패턴을 구성하였다. 자기조립법으로 제조한 MPTMS/Si(100) 기질 위에 AFM 양극산화법으로 패턴을 형성하였고, 비에칭법을 이용하여 아민그룹을 지닌 기능기를 고정시켰다. 금속전극으로는 Frens 방법으로 제조한 금나노입자를 이용하였다. 금속이온의 흡착에 따른 전도도는 근거리의 경우 coherent tunneling에 의존하지만, 원거리 전극에서는 incoherent tunneling에 의존한다. 전극의 간격이 가까울수록 저항이 감소하여 센서의 감도와 최소검출능을 개선할 수 있었다. 또한 다중기능성을 부여하여 센서의 선택도를 부여하였으며, 패턴의 크기에 따른 최소검출농도를 낮출 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Porous materials play a vital role in science and technology. The ability to control their pore structures at the atomic, molecular, and nanometer scales enable interactions with atoms, ions and molecules to occur throughout the bulk of the material, for practical applications. Three-dimensional (3D) porous carbon-based materials (e.g., graphene aerogels/hydrogels, sponges and foams) made of graphene or graphene oxide-based networks have attracted considerable attention because they offer low density, high porosity, large surface area, excellent electrical conductivity and stable mechanical properties. Water pollution and associated environmental issues have become a hot topic in recent years. Rapid industrialization has led to a massive increase in the amount of wastewater that industries discharge into the environment. Water pollution is caused by oil spills, heavy metals, dyes, and organic compounds released by industry, as well as via unpredictable accidents. In addition, water pollution is also caused by radionuclides released by nuclear disasters or leakage. This review presents an overview of the state-of-the-art synthesis methodologies of 3D porous graphene materials and highlights their synthesis for environmental applications. The various synthetic methods used to prepare these 3D materials are discussed, particularly template-free self-assembly methods, and template-directed methods. Some key results are summarized, where 3D graphene materials have been used for the adsorption of dyes, heavy metals, and radioactive materials from polluted environments.

본 연구에서는 LB기법에 의하여 분자수준으로 고 정화된 효소를 이용하여 에탄올의 양을 측정하는 광섬유 바이오센서가 개발되 었다. ADH는 arachidic acid의 단분자막에 LB기법으로 고정화된다. 센서의 출력신호를 분석하기 위하여 고정화된 ADH의 효소 반응은 ordered multisubstrate mechanism을 이용 하여 검토되었다. 광학 측정 시스템이 제시되었으며, 센서의 출력신호는 에단올의 농도에 비례하여 증가 하며 LB막에 누적된 누적충수와 관련이 있음을 알 수 있었다. LB막의 누적된 누적충수를 20충으로 증가하면 센서의 신호출력 범위가 확장되어 45mM의 고농도 에탄올도 측정할 수 있었다. 순수지질의 단 분자막과 효소가 흡착된 지질의 단분자막의 $\pi$-Aisotherm은 중성의 subphase에서 각기 다른 전하를 띠는 세 가지 종류의 지질에 대하여 조사되었다. ADH의 흡착도가 가장 우수한 지질은 arachidic a acid이며 이는 중성의 sub phase에서 양의 전하를 띠는 ADH 분자와 읍극의 전하를 띠는 arachidic a acid 분자 사이에 작용하는 정전기력에 기인한 것이다.

Vanadium-incorporated aluminophophate molecular sieve VH-SAPO-11 has been studied by electron spin resonanace (ESR) and electron spin echo modulation (ESEM) spectroscopies to determine the vanadium locatin and interaction with various adsorbate molecules. As-synthsized VH-SAPO-11 contains only vanady1 species with distored octahral coordination. After calcinations in $O_2$ and exposure to moisture, only species A is observed with reduced intensities. Species A is suggested as a VO$(H_2O)_2^{2+$} complex coordinate to three framwork oxygen bonded to aluminum. When calcined, hydrate VH-SAPO-11 is dehydrated at elevated temperature, species A loses it water ligands and transforms to $VO^{2+}$ ions coordinated to three framework oxygens (species B). Species B reduces its intensities significantly after treatment with $O_2$at high temperature, thus suggesting oxidation of $v^{4+}$to $v^{5+}$. When dehydrated VH-SAPO-11 contacts with $D_2O$ at room temperature, the ESR signal of species A is observed. This species assumed as a $VO(O_f)_3(D_2O)_2$, by considering 3 framework oxygens. Adsorption of deuterated methanol on dehydrated VH-SAPO-11 results in another new vanadium species D, which is identified as a $VO(CD_{3}OH)$ complex. When deuterated ethanol is adsorbed on dehydrated VH-SAPO-11, another new vanadium species E identified as a $VO(C_{2}H_{5}OD)^{2+}$, is observed. When deuterated propanol is adsorbed on dehydrated VH-SAPO-11, a new vanadium species F identified as a $VO(C_{3}H_{7}OD)$, is observed. Possible coordination geometries of these various complexes are discussed.

폴리스티렌(PS)/단일벽 탄소나노튜브(SWCNT) 나노복합재료를 라텍스 기술로 제조하여 계면활성제(SDS) 첨가에 따른 SWCNT의 분산 정도와 나노복합재료의 유변학적, 전기적 물성을 고찰하였다. 나노복합재료는 단분산 PS 입자에 SDS를 첨가한 SWCNT 분산액을 혼합한 후 동결건조하여 제조하였다. SDS 함량이 증가함에 따라 나노튜브의 분산성이 향상되어 나노복합재료의 저장 탄성률과 복소 점도는 증가하지만, 지나치게 증가시킨 경우에는 저분자량의 SDS로 인해 감소하는 결과를 보여주었다. 전기 전도도는 SDS를 첨가함에 따라 급격히 향상된 후 큰 변화를 보이지 않았다. 이는 나노튜브의 분산성 향상에 의한 전기 전도도 증가와 SDS 도포에 의한 SWCNT의 전기 전도도 저하의 경쟁에 의한 것으로 추론된다. SDS를 SWCNT 함량의 2배로 첨가한 경우가 나노복합재료의 전기 전도도 및 사용 물성 향상에 최적 조건이었다. 이 경우 전도성을 부여하는 SWCNT의 임계 함량은 1 wt% 이하에서 나타났다.

The effect of major operating parameters in spray drying sorber(=SDS) for automatic control for the simultaneous removal of acidic and organic gaseous pollutants from solid waste incinerator was performed. The field experiment was carried out in pilot scale test for the quantification of major operating parameters of hydrophilic and the hydrophobic pollutants. The removal efficiencies of $SO_2$and HCI in the 5wt% slurry condition were being increased with the increase of the stoichiometric ration which is the molecular ratio of lime to the pollutant concentration, and with the decrease of inflow flue gas temperature in the pilot SDS reactor. The removal efficiency along the height of spray drying sorber was closely related to the temperature profile, and more than 90% of total removal efficiency was achieved in an absorption region. For the removal of acidic gas the optimum operating condition considering the economics and a stable operation is the 5wt% of slurry concentration, 1.2 of stoichiometric ratio and 25$0^{\circ}C$ of inflow flue gas temperature. For the organic gases of benzene and toluene the removal efficiencies were 20-60% which is much lower than that of acidic gas. The best removal efficiency was obtained at 1.5 of stoichiometric ratio and 25$0^{\circ}C$ of inflow flue gas temperature. The organic\`s removal efficiency along the height of spray drying sorber was quite different from that of acidic gas, that is, more than 60% of the total removal efficiency for benzene and 90% of the total removal for toluene were achieved in the dried adsorption region, which was formed at the lower or exit part of the reactor.

여러 종류의 層間 陽이온을 가지고 있는 層狀 硅酸鹽上에서 일어난 methylmethacrylate의 吸着에 關하여 赤外線 分光法과 X-ray로 硏究하였다. 吸着된 methylmethacrylate의 여러 개의 特性 carbonyl band가 陽이온의 種과 脫水溫度에 따라서 다르게 1723∼1547$cm^{-1}$의 範圍에서 나타났다. 190$cm^{-1}$程度로 shift한 carbonyl 伸縮 band는 polyvalent 陽이온에만 나타났으며 $>C=O{\cdot}{\cdot}{\cdot}M^{n+}$型 着物形成 基因하는 것이었다. 1703∼1640$cm^{-1}$에서 나타난 band는 carbonyl 酸素와 陽이온 水 또는 陽이온 水酸基와의 水素結合에 依한 것이었고 shift한 정도는 層間 陽이온의 polarizing power와 좋은 相互 關係를 이루었다. 그러나 1723$cm^{-1}$에서 나타난 band는 陽이온의 鍾과는 相互 關係가 없었으며 carbonyl ,酸素와 表面 水酸基와의 相互 作用으로 因한 것이었다. Interlamellar spacing을 계산해 본 結果 methylmethacrylate의 分子平面은 硅酸鹽의 層과 平行하게 놓여 있는 것 같다.

An investigation was conducted on the enhancement of production and purification of an oxidant and SDS-stable alkaline protease (BHAP) secreted by an alkalophilic Bacillus horikoshii, which was screened from the body fluid of a unique Korean polychaeta (Periserrula leucophryna) living in the tidal mud flats of Kwangwha Island in the Korean West Sea. A prominent effect on BHAP production was obtained by adding 2% maltose, 1% sodium citrate, 0.8% NaCl, and 0.6% sodium carbonate to the culturing medium. The optimal medium for BHAP production contained (g/l) SBM, 15; casein, 10; $K_2HPO_4$, 2; $KH_2PO_4$, 2; maltose, 20; sodium citrate, 10; $MgSO_4$, 0.06; NaCl, 8; and $Na_2CO_3$, 6. A protease yield of approximately 56,000 U/ml was achieved using the optimized medium, which is an increase of approximately 5.5-fold compared with the previous optimization (10,050 U/ml). The BHAP was homogenously purified 34-fold with an overall recovery of 34% and a specific activity of 223,090 U/mg protein using adsorption with Diaion HPA75, hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC) on Phenyl-Sepharose, and ion-exchange chromatography on a DEAE- and CM-Sepharose column. The purified BHAP was determined a homogeneous by SDS-PAGE, with an apparent molecular mass of 28 kDa, and it showed extreme stability towards organic solvents, SDS, and oxidizing agents. The $K_m$ and $k_{cat}$ values were 78.7 ${\mu}M$ and $217.4s^{-1}$ for N-succinyl-Ala-Ala-Pro-Phe-pNA at $37^{\circ}C$ and pH 9, respectively. The inhibition profile exhibited by PMSF suggested that the protease from B. horikoshii belongs to the family of serine proteases. The BHAP, which showed high stability against SDS and $H_2O_2$, has significance for industrial application, such as additives in detergent and feed industries.
