The effects of N doping concentration and dopant moieties on the electrochemical properties of nanoporous graphene and their dependence on annealing temperature are investigated. Four types of N moieties - amide, amine, graphitic-N, and oxidized-N - are obtained, which transformed into pyridinic-N and pyrrolic-N upon annealing. The diffusion coefficient (D') of the ions in the electrode is the maximum at $400^{\circ}C$ because of a high level of N doping, whereas the second highest D0 value is obtained at $700^{\circ}C$ owing to a high level of reduction and N doping. The highest specific capacitance is obtained for the sample annealed at $400^{\circ}C$.

Properties of oxynitride films oxidized by $N_2O$ gas after thermal oxidation and $N_2O$ oxide films directly oxidized using $N_2O$ gas on the bare silicon wafer have been studied. Through the AES analysis, Nitrogen pile-up at the interface of Si/oxynitride and Si/$N_2O$ oxide has observed. Also, it could be presumed that there are differences in the mechanism of the growth of film by observing film growth. $N_2O$ oxide and oxynitride films have the self-limited characteristics. Therefore, it will be possible to obtain ultra-thin films. Nitrogen pile-up at the interfaces Si/oxynitride and Si/$N_2O$ oxide strengthens film structure and improves dielectric reliability. Although fixed charge densities and interface trap densities of $N_2O$ oxide and oxynitride films has somewhat higher than those of thermal $SiO_2,\;N_2O$ oxide and oxynitride films showed improved I-V characteristics and constant current stress.

본 연구에서는 바나듐 레독스 흐름전지의 효율을 향상시키고자 탄소펠트에 열산화 반응과 암모니아수 처리를 이용하여 질소가 도핑된 탄소펠트 전극을 제조하였다. 또한 제조된 탄소펠트 전극의 전기화학적 특성평가를 위하여 CV 실험 및 충/방전 실험을 실시하였다. 암모니아수 처리온도가 증가함에 따라 탄소펠트 표면의 질소 관능기가 증가함을 XPS를 통하여 확인하였으며, CV 측정 결과 암모니아수 처리된 탄소펠트는 열산화된 탄소펠트에 비하여 산화/환원의 반응성이 우수함을 확인하였다. 충/방전 실험결과 $300^{\circ}C$에서 암모니아수 처리한 탄소펠트 전극은 열산화된 탄소펠트 전극보다 에너지효율, 전압효율, 전류효율이 각각 약 6.93, 1.0, 4.5%씩 향상됨을 알 수 있었다. 이는 질소 관능기가 탄소펠트 전극과 전해질 사이의 전기화학적 성능 향상에 도움을 주었기 때문으로 사료된다.

The effect of nutrient nitrogen on the degradation of pentachlorophenol (PCP) by Phanerochaete chrysosporium in a liquid culture was investigated. PCP disappeared at almost the same rate in both nutrient nitrogen-sufficient (NS) and -limited (NL) sttionary cultures. However, more pentachloroanisole (PCA) was accumulated in the NS culture than in the NL culture. The effect of nitrogen on the degradation of PCA was also tested in both cultures. PCA disappeared faster in the NL culture than in the NS culture, indicating that the lower accumulation of PCA during the degradation of PCP in the NL culture was due to the faster degradation of PCA in the NL culture than in the NS culture. In another experiment, PCA was added to shaking cultures rather than stationary cultures to search for any other metabolite(s). While no other metabolite but PCA was found in the NS stationary culture, 2,4,5,6-tetrachloro-2,5-cyclohexadiene-1,4-dione(TCHD) was found as the only indentifiable product in the NL shaking culture. Thus, PCP would appear to be metabolized to TCHD via PCa or directly oxidized to TCHD by lignin peroxidase. Since all the above results indicate that no innocuous metabolite was formed during the degradation of PCP by the fungus, it is quite feasible to use the fungus in the biotreatment of PCP.

Nitrogen-doped carbons have attracted much attention due to their novel application in relation to gas storage. In this study, nitrogen-doped porous carbons were synthesized using SBA-15 as a template, polypyrrole as the carbon and nitrogen precursor, and KOH as an activating agent. The effect of the activation temperature ($600-850^{\circ}C$) on the $CO_2$ adsorption capacity of the obtained porous carbons was studied. Characterization of the resulting carbons showed that they were micro-/meso-porous carbon materials with a well-developed pore structure that varied with the activation temperature. The highest surface area of $1488m^2g^{-1}$ was achieved at an activation temperature of $800^{\circ}C$ (AC-800). The nitrogen content of the activated carbon decreased from 4.74 to 1.39 wt% with an increase in the activation temperature from 600 to $850^{\circ}C$. This shows that nitrogen is oxidized and more easily removed than carbon during the activation process, which indicates that C-N bonds are more easily ruptured at higher temperatures. Furthermore, $CO_2$ adsorption isotherms showed that AC-800 exhibited the best $CO_2$ adsorption capacity of $110mg\;g^{-1}$ at 298 K and 1 bar.

음식쓰레기, 슬러지 등과 같이 C/N비가 낮은 폐기물을 호기성으로 퇴비화하는 경우 질소 성분이 많이 손실될 수 있으며, 이는 비료성분의 손실, 악취를 비롯한 환경오염 발생 등을 유발할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 퇴비화 공정에서 질소성 물질의 보존방법을 도출하기 위한 기초 연구로 음식쓰레기를 실험실 규모로 퇴비화하면서 일반적인 호기성 퇴비화 공정에서 일어나는 질소의 거동을 분석하였다. 음식쓰레기는 종이나 나무조각과 혼합하여 퇴비화하였으며, 질소성 물질의 거동을 평가하기 위해 퇴비시료에 포함된 암모니아, 산화성 질소, 유기성 질소를 측정하였다. 배가스로 손실되는 질소도 황산으로 흡수시켜 정량하였다. 퇴비화 반응의 활성화 여부가 유기성 질소의 무기화에 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 조사되었다. 활성이 좋은 퇴비를 식종한 경우 반응 초기부터 유기성 질소의 무기화가 활발히 진행되어 많은 양의 질소가 손실된 반면 초기의 낮은 pH 기간이 길어지면 유기성 질소의 분해가 지연되는 것으로 나타났다. 암모니아 손실량은 주입된 공기량의 영향이 큰 것으로 판단되며, 암모니아 손실이 증가하면 퇴비의 암모니아 함량이 크게 감소하였다. 질소에 대한 물질수지 분석을 통하여 초기 질소의 28~38%가 암모니아로 전환되었으며, 전환된 암모니아의 77~94%가 가스로 손실된 것으로 나타났다.

Most of the ethyl alcohol consumed by humans is oxidized to acetaldehyde in the liver by the cytoplasmic alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) system. For this ADH-catalyzed oxidation of alcohol, $NAD^+$ is required as the coenzyme and $NAD^+$becomes reduced to NADH. As the $NAD^+$becomes depleted and NADH accumulates, alcohol oxidation is reduced. For continued alcohol oxidation, the accumulated NADH must be quickly reoxidized to $NAD^+$, and it is this reoxidation of NADH to $NAD^+$that is known to be the rate-limiting step in the overall oxidation rate of alcohol The reoxidation of NADH to $NAD^+$is catalyzed by lactate dehydrogenase in the cytoplasm of hepatocytes, with pyruvate being utilized as the substrate. The pyruvate may be supplied from alanine as a result of amino acid metabolism via the urea cycle. Also, glutamine is thought to help with the supply of pyruvate indirectly, and to activate the urea cycle by producing $NH_3$. Thus, in the present study, we have examined the effects of alanine and glutamine on the alcohol oxidation rate. We utilized isolated perfused liver tissue in a system where media containing alanine and glutamine was circulated. Our results showed that when alanine (5.0mM) was added to the glucose-free infusion media, the alcohol oxidation rate was increased by 130%. Furthermore, when both glutamine and alanine were added together to the infusion media, the alcohol oxidation rate increased by as much as 190%, and the rate of urea nitrogen production increased by up to 200%. The addition of glutamine (5.0mM) alone to the infusion media did not accelerate the alcohol oxidation rate. The increases in the rates of alcohol oxidation and urea nitrogen production through the addition of alanine and glutamine indicate that these amino acids have contributed to the enhanced supply of pyruvate through the urea cycle. Based on these results, it is concluded that the dietary supplementation of alanine and glutamine could contribute to increased alcohol detoxification through the urea cycle, by enhancing the supply of pyruvate and $NAD^+$to ensure accelerated rates of alcohol oxidation.

We employed atmospheric plasma to reactively remove the lubricant sprayed onto such industrial electronic parts as LCD chassis during sheet-metal forming processes and investigated basically the effect of plasma parameters on cleansing the surfaces of zinc-electroplated steel plates (EGI). Specimen prepared with some controlled amount of lubricant sprayed on their surfaces beforehand were subjected to two different kinds of atmospheric plasma, one being generated by using air and the other generated by using nitrogen (99.9% purity). Locating the plasma beams at the height range between 3.5 and 13.5 mm from the surface of each specimen and radiating for 5 to 30 seconds resulted out that the cases with a position of 3.5 mm and a duration of 5 seconds or longer showed the surfaces completely cleansed without a trace of lubricant. Furthermore we found out that the plasma generated by using simple air depicted higher cleansing ability than the other one generated by using expensive nitrogen, interestingly useful very much for industrial purposes. On another aspect, we confirmed that the drilled or cut surfaces of Zn-plated steel substrate would not be oxidized even under the influence of plasma during its cleansing process. Therefore, we could probably conclude from this fore-survey that a dry process adopting atmospheric plasma for cleansing industrial parts might be determined to become successful in terms of commercialization, cautiously.
