The effects of pressure and temperature on the autoignition of propane and n-butane blends were investigated using a rapid compression machine (RCM) , which is widely used to examine the autoignition characteristics. The RCM was designed to be capable of varying the compression ratio between 5 and 20 and minimize the vortex formation on the cylinder wall using a wedge-shaped crevice. The initial temperature and pressure of the compressed gas were varied in range of 720∼900 K and 1.6∼ 1.8 MPa, respectively, by adjusting the ratio of the specific heat of the mixture by altering the ratio of the non-reactive components (N$_2$, Ar) under a constant effective equivalence ratio (ø$\_$f/= 1.0) The gas temperature after the compression stroke could be obtained from the measured time-pressure record. The results showed a two-stage ignition delay and a Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) behavior which were the unique characteristic of the alkane series fuels. As the propane concentration in the blend were increased from 20% and 40% propane, the autoignition delay time increased by approximately 41 % and 55% at 750 K. Numerical reduced kinetic modeling was performed using the Shell model, which introduced some important chemical ideas, represented by the generic species. Several rate coefficients were calibrated based on the experimental results to establish an autoignition model of the propane and n-butane blends. These coefficients can be used to predict the autoignition characteristics in LPG fueled Sl engines.

Long chain plant waxes (n-alkanes, n-alkanoic acids, and n-alcohols) and their carbon isotopic compositions (${\delta}^{13}C$) in geologic archives are valuable tools for paleovegetation reconstruction. However, the sensitivity of different plant wax constituents to vegetation shift is not well understood. This study explores controls on the variation in ${\delta}^{13}C$ values of long-chain n-alkanes ($C_{27}$ to $C_{33}$) and n-alkanoic acids ($C_{26}-C_{30}$) in the Gulf of Mexico core sediments (ODP 625B) near the Mississippi River delta. n-Alkanoic acids' ${\delta}^{13}C$ values were higher than those of n-alkanes by 1-2‰ on average and such a pattern is the opposite from their isotope fractionation observed in living plants: 1-2‰ smaller in n-alkanes than n-alkanoic acids. We attribute this offset to contributions from aquatic plants or microbes that produce high concentrations of $^{13}C-enriched$ long-chain n-alkanoic acids. The sensitivity of n-alkanes and n-alkanoic acids to vegetation and climate varied among chain lengths. The $n-C_{33}$ alkanes were most sensitive to $C_4$ grassland expansion among n-alkane homologues, while no specific trend was observed in n-alkanoic acids. This is due to the similarity in n-alkanoic acid concentrations between $C_3$ and $C_4$ plants by homologues and low terrestrial plant-derived n-alkanoic acid contributions to the sediments. The results of this study suggest that long chain n-alkanoic acids' ${\delta}^{13}C$ values in sediments may be influenced by contributions from different sources such as aquatic plants or microbial inputs and therefore interpretations regarding this matter should be cautiously formulated. We suggest that there is a need for further studies on characterizing long-chain n-alkanoic acids ($C_{26}-C_{34}$) in aquatic plants and microbes from various climates and environments in order to investigate their production and integration into sedimentary archives.

The morphogenetic behavior of a tropical marine Yarrowia lipolytica strain on hydrophobic substrates was studied. Media containing coconut oil or palm kernel oil (rich in lauric and myristic acids) prepared in distilled water or seawater at a neutral pH supported 95% of the cells to undergo a transition from the yeast form to the mycelium form. With potassium laurate, 51 % of the cells were in the mycelium form, whereas with myristate, 32% were in the mycelium form. However, combinations of these two fatty acids in proportions that are present in coconut oil or palm kernel oil enhanced the mycelium formation to 65%. The culture also produced extracellular lipases during the morphogenetic change. The yeast cells were found to attach to the large droplets of the hydrophobic substrates during the transition, while the mycelia were associated with the aqueous phase. The alkane-grown yeast partitioned more efficiently in the hydrophobic phases when compared with the coconut oil-grown mycelia. A fatty acid analysis of the mycelial form revealed the presence of lauric acid in addition to the long-chain saturated and unsaturated fatty acids observed in the yeast form. The mycelia underwent a rapid transition to the yeast form with n-dodecane, a medium-chain aliphatic hydrocarbon. Thus, the fungus displayed a differential behavior towards the two types of saturated hydrophobic substrates.

Microorganisms producing bioemulslfiler were isolated from the sea water In Pusan coastal area. The isolated strain which had the highest emulsification activity and stability was identified as the genus Achetobacter from the results of morphological. cultural and biochemical tests and named Achetobacter sp. EL-C6 for convenience. The compositions of optimum medium for emulsification of crude oil by Acinetobacter sp. EL-C6 were crude oil 2.0%, NH4NO3 0.2%, $K_2HPO_4$ 0.01%, $MgSO_4$.$7H_2O$ 1.o%, $CaCl_2$.$2H_2O$ 0.1% and NaCl 3.0% at initial pH 7.5 and 3$0^{\circ}C$, respectively. The cultivation for emulsification of crude ell was carried out in 500m1 shaking flask containing 100m1 of the optimum medium at 3$0^{\circ}C$. The highest emulsification was observed after 5 days. The utilization on the various hydrocarbon of the Achetobacter sp. EL-C6 showed that utilization of n-alkane compounds were better than that of aromatic compounds. Among the petroleum compounds, crude ell was best utilized by the Achetobacter sp. EL-C6.

To understand the degradation processes of organic matter related to sulfate reduction by Sulfate Reduction Bacteria (SRB) in the tidal flat sediments of Hwang-do and Sogeun-ri, Tae-an Peninsula in Chungnam-do, biogeochemical characteristics were analyzed and highlighted using specific microbial biomarkers. The organic geochemical parameters (TOC, ${\delta}^{13}C_{org}$, C/N ratio, long-chain-n-alkane) indicate that most of the organic matter has been derived from marine phytoplankton and bacteria in the fine-grained sediment of Sogeun-ri, although terrestrial plant components have occasionally been incorporated to a significant degree in the coarse-grained sediment of Hwang-do. The concentration of sulfate in pore water is a constant tendency with regard to depth profile, while methane concentration appears to be slightly different with regard to depth profile at the two sites. Especially, the sum of bacteria fatty acid (a-C15:0 + i-C15:0 + C16:1w5) confirms that the these concentrations in Sogeun-ri are related to the degradation of Benzene, Toluene, Ethylbenzene and Xylene (BTEX) compounds from the crude oil retained in the sediments as a result of the Hebei Spirit oil-spill accident in 2007. The methane-related microbial communities as shown by lipid biomarkers (crocetane, PMI) are larger in some sedimentary sections of Hwang-do than in the Sogeunri tidal flat. These findings suggest that methane production by microbiological processes is clearly governed by SRB activity along the vertical succession in organic-enriched tidal flats.

철(III) protoporphyrin과 망간(II) tetrakis(4-N-carboxyphenyl) Porphyrin을 polystyrene divinylbenzene 공중합체 수지와 반응시켜 고분자결합 금속포피린을 합성하였다. 고분자와 결합된 포피린은 공명라만분광기를 이용, 합성과정에서 포피린과 중심금속의 산화상태 등 여러가지 화학적 성질이 변화되지 않았음으로 확인하였다. 합성된 고분자결합 금속포피린은 싸이토크롬 P-450과 같은 산화촉매효소의 모형화합물로서 과산화수소에 의한 olefin의 epoxidation과 alkane의 oxidation의 촉매로서 사용이 가능하였다. 그 효율은 고분자와 결합하지 않은 동종의 포피린에 비하여 현저히 증가되었으며, 특히 포피린이 산화제에 의해 분해되지 않아 재사용이 가능하였다. 실제 효소에서와 같이 imidazole 유도체와 같은 전자주게 배위자가 포피린 중심금속에 배위한 경우 촉매효과가 더욱 향상되었다.

토양으로부터 diaminododecane 자화균 DAD2-3주를 분리하여 Coryηebacterium속으로 동정하였다. DADZ2-3의 alkane유도체에 대한 생육특성조사에서 putrescine, dodecane, laurylamine 등은 탄소원으로 이용되었으나 dod-ecanethiol, thioanisole, decanedithiol, dicyanooctane, laurylcyanide, dichlorodecane등은 이용되지 못하였으며, emulgen 첨가에 의한 diaminododecane 자화촉진 효과는 미세하였다. DAD2-3림에 의해 diaminododecane 자화시 생성되는 중간생성불은 $\alpha$-ketoglutaric acid로 동정되었다. 그러나 d diaminododecane을 탄소원 뿐만 아니라 질소원으로도 이용하었을 경우 $\alpha$-ketoglutaric acid와는 상이한 중간 생성 풍을 생성하였으며, 탄소원으로 diaminododecane 대신 glucose, putrescine, n-dodecane을 사용하였을 경우와 또한 resting cell을 이용하여 여러가지 다른 alkane유도체를 co-oxidation시키는 과정에서도 $\alpha$-ketoglutaric acid와는 상이한 생성물이 생성되었다.

역상 액체 크로마토그래피에 의하여 $Pd(IEAA-NR)_2$ (R=H, $CH_3$, $C_2H_5$, $n-C_3H_7$, $C_6H_5-CH_2$, $n-C_4H_9$) 킬레이트의 용리 거동을 Micropak MCH-5 분리관을 사용하여 연구하고, 아울러 동시 분리분석에 미치는 흐름속도, 이동상의 세기, 분리관의 온도 등 여러 가지 인자들의 영향을 조사 검토하였다. 용리액으로 methanol/water의 이성분 용매를 사용하였으며, 모든 금속 킬레이트의 용매 세기 인자는 $0{\leq}log\;k^{\prime}{\leq}1$의 범위임을 확인하였고, 각 금속 킬레이트의 log k'과 이성분용매 중의 물의 부피분율을 도시한 결과 직선 관계가 성립하였다. 또한 뱃치법으로 측정한 분포비 ($D_c$)값과 k'값을 도시하여 본 결과 직선관계가 성립됨으로써 금속 킬레이트의 용리 메카니즘이 주로 소용매성 효과, 즉 소수성효과에 기인함을 확인하였다. 또한 금속 킬레이트의 머무름에 미치는 용량 인자와 온도와의 관계를 알아본 결과 좋은 직선성을 나타내고 있으며, 직선의 기울기로부터 엔탈피 (${\Delta}H$)와 엔트로피 (${\Delta}S$)를 구하고, 엔탈피와 용량 인자와의 관계로부터 금속 킬레이트의 머무름이 반드시 엔탈피와 관련되어 있다고 할 수 없으며 구조적 성질과도 관계가 있는 것으로 여겨진다.
