  • Chloroform is harmful volatile organics and representatives of Trihalomethane (THM). Well-known removal methods of Chloroform are photo oxidation or OH radical oxidation. Plasma on water surface at slightly vacuum condition (45 torr) can produce OH radical and it will help chloroform removal. 81.5% of chloroform is removed by vacuum and plasma in 10 min.. Plasma can totally oxidize it till 2.8% and partially oxidize chloroform up to 18.5%. Water-surface plasma is good method to remove chloroform in short time.

  • This study was conducted to investigate protein and carbohydrate utilization of Micrococcus varians, Staphylococcus carnosus and Staphylococcus xylosus. Sensitivity to pH, sodium chloride, potassium sorbate and sodium nitrite of these strains was also determined. In Chinese-style beaker sausage manufacturing, the growth rate of these strains during the curing period ($20^{\circ}C$ and $30^{\circ}C$) was evaluated. The results indicated that no strains could hydrolyze azo-casein and sarcoplasmic protein and only S. xylosus could hydrolyze gelatin at $30^{\circ}C$. All of these strains could oxidize and ferment fructose and mannitol. S. carnosus and S. xylosus could slightly oxidize lactose and utilize citrate. Arabinose was oxidized by S. xylosus and sorbitol was oxidized by S. carnosus. Growth of M. varians was restricted at pH 5.0 and S. carnosus and S. xylosus were restricted at pH 4.5. S. xylosus and S. carnosus were able to grow with 0.1~0.5% potassium sorbate, 50~200 ppm sodium nitrite or 1~15% sodium chloride. S. xylosus had a higher growth rate than the other strains. Staphylococcus species grew well during curing period of Chinese-style beaker sausage then followed by Micrococcaceae.

  • Peroxidase has been isolated to apparent homogeneity from earthworm, Lumbricus rubellus, using ammonium sulfate fractionation, Sephacryl S-2000 gel filtration, CM-cellulose cation exchange chromatography and native-PAGE elution. Some of its enzymatic characteristics were examined. The optimum pH for gruaiacol oxidation of earthworm peroxidase was determined to be 6.0, and the $K_{m}$ values against guaiacol and $H_2O_2$ were 1.25 mM and 3.4mM, respectively. When various compounds were tested as the possible substrates of the enzyme, o-dianisidine was used as the substrate. However, earthworm peroxidase could not oxidize esculetin and ferulic acid as substrates, suggesting the different characteristics of the enzyme from plant peroxidases. The optimum pH for veratryl alcohol and $H_2O_2$ oxidation was determined to be 2.5 when lignin peroxidation activity was examined. The $K_{m}$ values for veratryl alcohol and $H_2O_2$ were 0.02 mM and 0.13 mM, respectively. Furthermore, the earthworm peroxidase could oxidize phenoxyherbicides such as 2,4-D, 2,4-DP and MCPA as substrates. The optimum pHs for 2,4-D, 2,4-DP and MCPA were determined to be 4.0, 2.0 and 2.0, respectively. The most available substrate was 2,4-DP, followed by MCPA and 2,4-D when their peroxidation activities were compared.

  • This work was performed to develop a dip injection wet scrubber (DIWS) system with chlorine dioxide as the oxidant. The exhaust pollutants from a lime kiln of paper-mill were introduced to the system. When NaClO3 was used to oxidize NO into NO2, the oxidation was unsatisfactory and the combination of HNO3 or H2SO4 was required for 100% oxidation. ClO2 is recommended to oxidize NO and SO2 effectively. With the combination of 1st stage of DIWS and ClO2, 57.1% of NOx and 98% of SO2 were effectively removed. In the case of 2nd stage of DIWS and ClO2, 93.5% of NOx and 99% of SO2 were removed. The ClO2+DIWS process was superior to the ClO2+Scrubber process in terms of investment, running cost and NOx removal efficiency.

  • This experiment was carried out to improve seedling emergence and establishment in paddy rice sown into puddled soil. Rice seed were coated with CaO$_2$, KNO$_3$ and acid sulphate soil. When coated seeds with CaO$_2$, KNO$_3$ and acid sulphate soil were sown into puddled soil, soil redox potential was increased and the period of oxidizing was longer in KNO$_3$ than that of any other soils. pH was higher in control than that of coated seeds with CaO$_2$, KNO$_3$ and acid sulphate soil. It seems that the coated seeds oxidize soil locally, thus prohibit soil reduction. Seedling emergence was improved by seed coating materials. Emergence date was 8 days after seeding(DAS) in CaO$_2$, 14 DAS in acid sulphate soil, 21 DAS in KNO$_3$ coated seed and 20 DAS in uncoated seed, respectively. Emergence rate was highest in CaO$_2$ coated seed(80%) followed by acid sulphate soil coated seed(61%), while control(46%) and KNO$_3$(42%) were very poor. This result would be interpreted as the difference in oxidizing power among coating agents ; CaO$_2$ and acid sulphate soil may oxidize weakly and shortly while KNO$_3$ may oxidize soil strongly and persistantly. Our results suggested that local oxidizing around rice seed sown into puddled soil enhanced seedling emergence and also found a possibility to promote seedling emergence with acid soil.

  • An electroenzymatic system to oxidize veratryl alcohol of on electrodes with in-situ generated hydrogen peroxide was studied. We investigated hydrogen peroxide generation, current efficiency, and veratryl alcohol oxidation in the electrode system at various conditions. The reaction rates of veratryl alcohol oxidation were compared in an electrochemical, an electroenzymatic, and an usual biochemical systems to prove the concept of electroenzymatic oxidation.

  • In this paper, we have examined the MTBE cometabolic degradation by pure culture, which is isolated gasoline contaminated aquifer. Propane was more effectively utilized as a growth substrate to oxidize MTBE. Specific substrate degradation rate was Increased with increasing initial propane amount. Respiking propane was enhanced and continued MTBE degradation and TBA observation was supported MTBE degradation. The mass balance of MTBE and TBA indicated that MTBE was oxidized to TBA as well as further oxidation of TBA.

  • Mycobacterium sp. strain JC1 was capable of growth on benzylamine as a sole source of carbon and energy. The primary deamination of benzylamine was mediated by an inducible amine oxidase, which can also oxidize tyramine, histamine, and dopamine. Inhibitor study identified this enzyme as a copper-containing amine oxidase sensitive to semicarbazide.

  • Commercial conductive metal inks are available, but metals used in these have unsuitable work function for efficient OLED device performance. Metals with low work function tend to oxidize easily, which makes it challenging to develop low work function metal inks. In this research we describe printed low work function Al cathode.

  • Peroxynitrite, formed from the reaction of .O2- and .NO, is a cytotoxic species that can oxidize several cellular components such as proteins. lipids and DNA. Oxidative stress is considered to be the major cause of aging and many age-related diseases including Alzheimer's disease. rheumatoid arthritis. cancer. and atherosclerosis. ONO-, a powerful oxidant, can cause damage of proteins, lipid and DNA through nitration and oxidation. (omitted)
