Because algal cells are so efficient at absorbing incoming light energy, providing more light energy to photobioreactors would simply decrease energy conversion efficiency. Furthermore, the algal biomass productivity in photobioreactor is always proportional to the total photosynthetic rate. In order to optimize the productivity of algal photobioreactors (PBRs), the oxygen production rate should be estimated. Based on a simple model of light penetration depth and algal photosynthesis, the oxygen production rate in high-density microalgal cultures could be calculated. The estimated values and profiles of oxygen production rate by this model were found to be in accordance with the experimental data. Optimal parameters for PBR operations were also calculated using the model.

용존산소(D.O.) level은 유기산 및 포도당을 혼합한 배지에서 Azotobacter vinelandii UWD의 생장 및 생분해성 고분자(PHBV) 생성에 큰 영향을 주었다. 용존산소 level이 높은 경우(5% D.O.)는 낮은 경우(1% D.O.)에 비해 세포의 생장속도가 약 2배 증가하였으나 PHBV 생성은 D.O.가 낮은 경우 62.3 wt%로 D.O.가 높은 경우에 비해 약 17배 증가하였다. 그러나 B.O. level은 통기(aeration)에 의한 A. vinefandii UWD의 발효특성 연구에 적합한 기준이 아니었다. 공기공급속도를 고정하고 교반속도만을 변화시키는 통기법으로 산소전달속도를 감소시켰을 때 이 균주는 산소소모속도를 그에 따라 대응 감소시킴으써 겉보기 D.O.를 높게(5%) 유지할 수 있었고 이 때 생장이 느려지고 PHBV 양은 57.3 wt%로 증가하였다. 통기가 세포생장 및 PHBV 생성에 미치는 영향을 일관성 있게 설명할 수 있는 기준은 D.O. level이 아니라 산소전달속도였으며 비생장속도는 산소전달속도에 비례하여 증가하였고 PHBV 생산량은 산소전달속도에 반비례하였다.

용존산소는 하천의 중요한 수질관리 항목중의 하나로 1세기 전부터 언급되어 왔으며, 농도가 낮을 경우 물고기 폐사를 유발하기도 한다. 환경과학자 및 공학자들은 하천의 용존산소 파악을 위한 결정론적 모델을 제안하였으며, 용존산소가 공간적으로 변하지 않을 경우 적용 가능한 델타 방법(Delta Method), 근사 델타 방법(Approximate Delta Method), 극한값 방법(Extreme Value Method) 및 최적화 방법(Optimization Method)등을 소개하였다. 이 방법들은 주로 용존산소와 관련 있는 매개변수 즉, 재포기 계수, 1차 생산율 및 호흡률 등을 산정하여, 이로부터 일주기 또는 년주기 용존산소를 파악한다. 본 논문에서는 용존산소 파악을 위한 각 방법을 간단히 소개하며, 안성천 유역의 금석천 및 안성천 본류, 두 지점에 적용하여 각 방법의 한계와 장 단점을 파악하였다. 이를 기초로 비용/효과적인 용존산소 파악 방법을 제안하였다.

In both 7L and 20L fermentor experiments the level of dissolved oxygen (D.O) strongly affected growth and PHBV production of Azotobacter vinelandii UWD. A higher D.O. increased carbon substrate consumption rate and cell growth rate with a similar residual biomass production. However, a lower D.O. was a much better condition for PHBV production. In a 20L fermentor experiments controlled at 5% D.O. cell growth rate was about twice faster(0.555 hr-1 and 0.260 hr-1 at the acid and the glucose phase, respectively) with an equal amount(4.5 g/L) of residual biomass production. However, PHBV content in the cell(62.3 wt%) increased 17.3 times at 1% D.O.

The growth kinetics of Streptomyces noursei NRRL 5126 was investigated under different aeration and agitation combinations in a 5.0 l stirred tank fermenter. Poly-${\varepsilon}$-lysine biosynthesis, cell mass formation, and glycerol utilization rates were affected markedly by both aeration and agitation. An agitation speed of 300 rpm and aeration rate at 2.0 vvm supported better yields of 1,622.81 mg/l with highest specific productivity of 15 mg/l.h. Fermentation kinetics performed under different aeration and agitation conditions showed poly- ${\varepsilon}$-lysine fermentation to be a growth-associated production. A constant DO at 40% in the growth phase and 20% in the production phase increased the poly-${\varepsilon}$-lysine yield as well as cell mass to their maximum values of 1,992.35 mg/l and 20.73 g/l, respectively. The oxygen transfer rate (OTR), oxygen utilization rate (OUR), and specific oxygen uptake rates ($qO_2$) in the fermentation broth increased in the growth phase and remained unchanged in the stationary phase.

고농도 산소수를 이용한 새싹 침지로 인한 발아율 및 성장률을 비교하기 위하여 특정 용존산소량의 산소수를 고압 반응기에서 산소를 통한 가압을 통해 생성하였고, 용존산소량을 20, 30, 40, 50 ppm으로 조절한 산소수로 온도 $20^{\circ}C$에서 새싹을 4시간 동안 침지한 후 새싹을 관찰하였다. 그 결과 새싹의 10일째 최종적인 발아율은 일반 증류수 침지 시에 비해 50 ppm 산소수 침지시 최종발아율은 $24.6{\sim}28.6%$ 높게 나타났고, 최종 성장 길이도 $6{\sim}7\;mm$ 정도 높은 값을 나타내어, 새싹의 성장에서 씨앗의 충분한 산소 공급에 의한 발아가 안정적이고 효율적인 성장을 유도함을 알 수 있었다.

The NOx emission characteristics with oxygen enrichment in nonpremixed counterflow and coflow jet flame of $CH_4$ fuel have been investigated numerically. A small amount of nitrogen is included in oxygen-enriched combustion, in order to consider the inevitable $N_2$ contamination by air infiltration. The results show that the initial increase of NO with increasing oxygen enrichment is due to increasing temperature and residence time, while its subsequent decrease above 75% oxygen is due to decreasing the consumption rate of nitrogen. When oxygen addition exceeds 30%, Thermal NO gradually becomes the dominant production pathway and Prompt NO becomes negative pathway for net NO production rate. It is also seen that Thermal NO plays an important role in NO reduction when strain rate increase in oxygen-enriched combustion. Finally, the results of EINOx with oxygen enrichment in coflow jet flame show the similar profile with those of conterflow flame. It is confirmed that, with leakage of 1% nitrogen in the oxidizer stream, the corresponding EINOx is eight times of that emitted from regular $CH_4$/Air flame.

${\small{D}}$-Ribose is a value-added five-carbon sugar used for riboflavin production. To investigate the effects of oxygen supply and mixed sugar concentration on microbial production of ${\small{D}}$-ribose, a transketolase-deficient Bacillus subtilis SPK1 was cultured batch-wise using xylose and glucose. A change of agitation speed from 300 rpm to 600 rpm at 1 vvm of air supply increased both the xylose consumption rate and ${\small{D}}$-ribose production rate. Because the sum of the specific consumption rates for xylose and glucose was similar at all agitation speeds, metabolic preferences between xylose and glucose might depend on oxygen supply. Although B. subtilis SPK1 can take up xylose and glucose by the active transport mechanism, a high initial concentration of xylose and glucose was not beneficial for high ${\small{D}}$-ribose production.

Increasing environmental concerns regarding the use of fossil fuels and global wanning have prompted researcher to investigate alternative fuels. The purpose of this study is to investigate the syngas production by biogas reforming using a compression spark ignition engine. The parametric screening studies were carried out according to the variations of oxygen enrichment rate, biogas $CO_2$ ratio, intake gas temperature, and engine revolution. When the oxygen enrichment rate and input gas temperature increased, hydrogen and carbon monoxide were increased. But the biogas $CO_2$ ratio and engine revolution increased, the syngas were reduced. For the reforming of methane 100% only, generation of hydrogen and carbon monoxide was 58% and 17%, respectively. However when the biogas $CO_2$ ratio was 40%, hydrogen and carbon monoxide concentration were about 20% each.

통기발효에서 중요한 통기 및 진탕효과를 측정함에 있어 공기로부터 물속으로 용존해 가는 산소의 전달속도와, 용존된 산소가 미생물에 의해 흡수되는 속도를 산출하였다. 항생물질발효에서 통기효과는 현저하였으며, 배양시간에 따른 산소흡수 속도와 비산소흡수 속도가 변화하는 것을 알았다. 이러한 변화는 대사이차 산물인 항생물질생합성의 생화학적인 전환에 기인하는 것으로 판단된다.
