  • Bacillus subtilis B22, a chemotrophic and aerobic bacterial strain was isolated from homemade kimchi, identified by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. B22 was primarily screened by biochemical, carbon source utilization tests. B22 was used to produce pectinase and ${\beta}$-glucosidase by submerged fermentation under different light sources. B22 was incubated in pectin media and basal media (pH 7.0) under blue, green, red and white light-emitting diodes (LEDs), fluorescent white light, and in darkness at $37^{\circ}C$, orbital shaker 150 rpm for 24 hours. Fermentation under blue LEDs maximized pectinase production ($71.59{\pm}1.6U/mL$ at 24 h) and ${\beta}$-glucosidase production ($56.31{\pm}1.6U/mL$ at 24 h). Further, the production of enzyme increased to pectinase ($156{\pm}1.28U/mL$) and ${\beta}$-glucosidase ($172{\pm}1.28U/mL$) with 3% glucose as a carbon source. Activity and stability of the partially purified enzymes were higher at pH 6.0 to 8.0 and $25-55^{\circ}C$. The effect on the metal ions $Na^+$ and $K^+$ and (moderateactivity) $Mn^{2+}$ and $Ni^{2+}$ increased activity, while $Hg^{2+}$, $Cu^{2+}$, $Fe^{2+}$, and $Fe^{2+}$ inhibited activity. EDTA, phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride and 5,5-dithiobis (2-nitrobenzoicacid) reduced activity, while tetrafluoroethylene and 1,10-phenanthroline inhibited activity. The amylase was highly tolerant of the surfactants TritonX-100, Tween-20, Tween-80 and compatible with organic solvents methanol, ethanol, isoamylalcohol, isopropanol, t-butylalcohol and the oxidizing agents hydrogen peroxide, sodium perborate and sodium hypochlorite, although potassium iodide and ammonium persulfate reduced activity. These properties suggest utility of pectinase and ${\beta}$-glucosidase produced by B. subtilis B22 under blue LED-mediated fermentation for industrial applications.

  • 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.

  • Zinc oxide (ZnO) is a direct band gap semiconductor with 3.37 eV, which has in a hexagonal wurtzite structure. ZnO is a good candidate for a photocatalyst because it has physical and chemical stability, high oxidative properties, and absorbs of ultraviolet light. During ZnO is irradiated by UV light, redox (reduction and oxidation) reactions will occur on the ZnO surface, generating the radicals O2- and OH. These two powerful oxidizing agents have been proven to be effective in decomposition of harmful organic materials, converting them into CO2 and H2O. Therefore, we assume that oxygen on the surface of ZnO is a very important factor in the photocatalytic activities of ZnO nanoparticles. Recently, ZnO nanoparticles are studied in various application fields by many researchers. Photocatalyst research is progressing much in various application fields. But the ZnO nanoparticles have disadvantage that is unstable in water in comparison titanium dioxide (TiO2). The Zn(OH)2 was formed at the ZnO surface and ZnO become inactive as a photocatalyst when ZnO is present in the solution. Therefore, we prepared synthesized ZnO nanoaprticles that were immersed in the water and dried in the oven. After that, we measured photocatalytic activities of prepared samples and find the cause of their phtocatalytic activity changes. The characterization of ZnO nanoparticles were analyzed by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and BET test. Also we defined the photocatalytic activity of ZnO nanoparticles using UV-VIS Spectroscopy. And we explained changing of photocatalytic activity after the water treatment using X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS).

  • Zinc oxide is metal oxide semiconductor with the 3.37 eV bandgap energy. Zinc oxide is very attractive materials for many application fields. Zinc Oxide has many advantages such as high conductivity and good transmittance in visible region. Also it is cheaper than other semiconductor materials such as indium tin oxide (ITO). Therefore, ZnO is alternative material for ITO. ZnO is attracting attention for its application to transparent conductive oxide (TCO) films, surface acoustic wave (SAW), films bulk acoustic resonator (FBAR), piezoelectric materials, gas-sensing, solar cells and photocatalyst. In this study, we synthesized ZnO nanoparticles and defined their physical and chemical properties. Also we studied about the application of ZnO nanoparticles as a photocatalyst and try to find a enhancement photocatalytic activity of ZnO nanorticles.. We synthesized ZnO nanoparticles using spray-pyrolysis method and defined the physical and optical properties of ZnO nanoparticles in experiment I. When the ZnO are exposed to UV light, reduction and oxidation (REDOX) reaction will occur on the ZnO surface and generate O2- and OH radicals. These powerful oxidizing agents are proven to be effective in decomposition of the harmful organic materials and convert them into CO2 and H2O. Therefore, we investigated that the photocatalytic activity was increased through the surface modification of synthesized ZnO nanoparticles. In experiment II, we studied on the stability of ZnO nanoparticles in water. It is well known that ZnO is unstable in water in comparison with TiO2. Zn(OH)2 was formed at the ZnO surface and ZnO become inactive as a photocatalyst when ZnO is present in the solution. Therefore, we prepared synthesized ZnO nanoparticles that were immersed in the water and dried in the oven. After that, we measured photocatalytic activities of prepared samples and find the cause of their photocatalytic activity changes.

  • 화학기상증착법으로 제조된 $TiO_2$ 광촉매 볼을 이용하여 마이크로웨이브와 자외선을 동시에 조사시켜 메틸렌블루 수용액의 광촉매 분해실험을 하였다. 광촉매반응에 마이크로웨이브와 자외선을 같이 사용하기 위하여 마이크로웨이브에 의해 방전되는 무전극자외선램프를 개발하였다. 실험결과 마이크로웨이브의 강도, 반응수용액의 순환유속 그리고 산화보조제의 첨가량이 증가할수록 광촉매분해속도가 증가하였다. 특히 과산화수소를 첨가한 광촉매반응에 마이크로웨이브를 부가한 실험의 반응속도상수는 $0.0197min^{-1}$이고 광촉매반응에 과산화수소만을 첨가한 경우의 속도상수는 $0.0061min^{-1}$로 약 3배정도 높은 값을 나타내었다. 본 연구의 결과로부터 광촉매반응에 마이크로웨이브가 미치는 영향을 정량적으로 평가하기는 어렵지만, 과산화수소가 첨가되는 광촉매반응에 마이크로웨이브의 조사가 매우 중요한 인자인 것을 알 수 있었다.

  • Fly ash, a by-product of the coal-burning industry, and a potential source of ferro-alumino-silicate minerals, which contains high amount of ferric oxide and manganese oxide (electron acceptors), was selected as soil amendment for reducing methane $(CH_4)$ emission during rice cultivation. The fly ash was applied into potted soils at the rate of 0, 2, 10, and 20 Mg $ha^{-1}$ before rice transplanting. $CH_4$ flux from the potted soil with rice plants was measured along with soil Eh and floodwater pH during the cropping season. $CH_4$ emission rates measured by closed chamber method decreased gradually with the increasing levels of fly ash applied but rice yield significantly increased up to 10 Mg $ha^{-1}$ application level of the amendment. At this amendment level, total seasonal $CH_4$ emission was decreased by 20% along with 17% rice grain yield increment over the control. The decrease in total $CH_4$ emission may be attributed due to suppression of $CH_4$ production by the high content of active and free iron, and manganese oxides, which acted as oxidizing agents as well as electron acceptors. In conclusion fly ash could be considered as a feasible soil amendment for reducing total seasonal $CH_4$ emissions as well as maintaining higher grain yield potential under optimum soil nutrients balance condition.

  • In this study, isolation of antioxidative compounds was performed for development of anti-oxidizing agent. $CHCl_3$, $H_2O$, 30%, 60% MeOH, MeOH fractions were examined antioxidative activity by DPPH, test of inhibition on NO production. It was revealed that 30%, 60% MeOH and $CHCl_3$ fractions had significant antioxidative activity. In 30% MeOH and 60% MeOH, $CHCl_3$ fraction, six compounds were isolated and elucidated as adenosine(I), guanosine(II), peucedanol 7-O-$\beta$-D-apiofuranosyl(1$\rightarrow$6)-$\beta$-glucopyranoside(III), peucedanol 7-O-$\beta$-D-glucopyranoside(IV), peucedanol(V) and scopoletin(VI) by physicochemical data and spectroscopic methods. (Negative FAB-MS, $^{1}H-NMR$, $^{13}C-NMR$). The results from antioxidative activity screening for the each compound showed that compound IV was relatively superior antioxidant ability. In anti-inflammatory activation assay, compound III, IV, VI had concentration-dependent-activity and compound IV had superior anti-inflammatory ability. These results suggest that Peucedani Radix might be developed as a potent anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory agents and ingredients for related functional foods.

  • We have studied the method of silicon direct bonding using the mixture of $HNO_$, $H_2O_2$, and HF chemicals called the controlled slight etch (CSE) solution for the effective wafer cleaning. CSE, two combinations of oxidizing and etching agents, have been used to clean the silicon surfaces prior to wafer bonding. Two wafers of silicon and silicon dioxide were contacted each other at room temperature and postannealed at $300{\sim}1100^{\circ}C$ in $N_2$ ambient for 2.5 h. We have cleaned silicon wafers with the various HF concentrations and characterized the parameters with regard to surface roughness, chemical nature, chemical oxide thickness, and bonding energy. It was observed that the chemical oxide thickness on silicon wafer decreased with increasing HF concentrations. The initial interfacial energy and final energy postannealed at $1100^{\circ}C$ for 2.5h measured by the crack propagation method was 122 $mJ/m^2$ and 2.96 $mJ/m^2$, respectively.

  • 양극흙에 함유된 금과 은을 회수하기 위해 무기산(염산, 질산, 황산)과 thiourea 및 thiosulfate에 의한 침출실험을 수행했다. 산화제를 첨가하지 않은 조건에서 금은 무기산용액에 전혀 용해되지 않았다. 3종류의 무기산의 농도가 동일한 조건에서 황산용액에서 은의 침출율이 가장 높았으며, 염산의 농도가 증가함에 따라 $AgCl_2{^-}$의 형성에 따라 은의 침출율이 증가하였다. 한편 주석은 질산용액에 전혀 용해되지 않았으나, 구리, 니켈과 아연은 본 실험조건에서 모두 용해되었다. 황산과 thiourea의 혼합용액에서 금과 은은 모두 용해되었다. Thiosulfate용액에 은의 일부가 용해되었으나, 금은 전혀 용해되지 않았다.
