The kinetics of copper ion biosorption by Pseudomonas stutzeri cells immobilized in alginate was investigated. During the first few minutes of the metal uptake, the copper biosorption was rapid and then became progressively slower until an equilibium was rapid, and then became progressively slower until an equilibrium was reached. At a biomass concentration of 100g/l, the copper biosorption reaction reached approximately 90% of the equilibrium position within 30 min. A Freundich-type adsorption isotherm model was constructed based on kinetics with different amounts of biomass. When using this model, the experimental values only agreed well with the predicted values in a solution containing less than 200 mg/l Cu(II). Desorption of the bound copper ions was achieved using electrolytic solutions of HCl, $H_2SO_4$, EDTA, and NTA (0.1 or 0.5 M). Metal desorption with 0.1 M NTA allowed the reuse of the biosorbent for at least ten consecutive biosorption/desorption cycles, without an apparent decrease in its metal biosorption capability. A packed-bed column reactor of the immobilized biomass removed approximately 95% of the metal in the first 30 liter of wastewater [containing 100 mg/l Cu(II)] delivered at a rate of 20 L/day, and, thereafter, the rate gradually decreased.

A combination of the submerged membrane activated-sludge bioreactor(SMABR) equipped with non-woven fabric filter and oyster-zeolite (OZ) packed-bed adsorption column was studied to evaluate the advanced tertiary treatment of nitrogen and phosphorous. The non-woven filter module was submerged in the MBR and aeration was operated intermittently for an optimal wastewater treatment performance. Artificial wastewater with $COD_{Cr}$ of 220 mg/L, total nitrogen (T-N) of 45 mg/L, and total phosphorous (T-P) of 6 mg/L was used in this study. MLSS was maintained about $4,000\;{\sim}\;5,000\;mg/L$ throughout the experiments. The experiments were performed for 100-day with periodic non-woven filter washing. The results showed that $COD_{Cr}$ could be effectively removed in SMABR alone with over 94% removal efficiency. However, T-N and T-P removal efficiency was slightly lower than expected with SMABR alone. The permeate from SMABR was then passed through the OZ column for tertiary nutrients removal. The final effluent analysis confirmed that nutrients could be additionally removed resulting in over 87% and 46% removal efficiencies for T-N and T-P, respectively. The results of this study suggest that the waste oyster-shell can be effectively reclaimed as an adsorbent in advanced tertiary wastewater treatment processes in combination with SMABR equipped with non-woven fabric filter.

고생산성의 알콜 발효용 생물반응기를 개발하기 위하여 sodium alginate로 효모균체를 고정화시킨 후 충전탑 반응기를 제조하였다. 이 때 gel속에 고정화되어 있는 세포에 산소를 공급하기 위하여 배지를 공기로 포화시킨 후 공급하였다. 그 결과 9% 포도당을 함유한 배지를 사용하였을 경우 최대 알콜생산성은 35g/$\ell$-gel-hr에서 55g/$\ell$-gel-hr로 증가되었고 90%의 전환율을 얻는데 걸리는 시간도 40분에서 25분으로 감소되었다. 즉 고정화세포 충전탑 반응기에서도 배지에 어느 정도의 산소를 공급하면 세포활성의 증가로 발효속도가 현저히 촉진됨을 알 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 제올라이트/폴리에틸렌 복합 담체를 충진한 biotrickling filter에서 톨루엔 제거특성을 살펴보았다. 본 연구에 사용된 메디아의 물리적 특성을 살펴본 결과 비표면적과 공극율이 각각 $500\;m^2/m^3$, 82%로 나타났으며, 특히 미생물 부착과 생물막 형성에 영향을 주는 표면거칠기는 첨가된 제올라이트에 의해 담체표면이 상당히 거칠어짐을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 담체를 충진한 biotrickling filter 장치에서 톨루엔의 제거효율은 유입농도와 처리유량이 증가할수록 감소하였으며, 톨루엔의 최대 제거용량은 $64\;g/m^3{\cdot}hr$를 보였다. 또한 200일 동안의 연속실험결과, 미생물 순응이 완료된 뒤부터 167일까지 $90{\sim}98%$의 제거효율을 보였으며, 이후 과잉 미생물의 중식으로 인한 압력손실의 증가로 시간에 따라 제거효율은 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 역세척 후 압력강하와 톨루엔 제거능은 신속히 회복되어 정상상태를 유지하였다.

(S)-Alanine Racemase Chiral Analogue ((S)-ARCA) was used as an efficient adsorbent for the selective separation of D-amino acids (D-AAs), which are industrially important as chiral building blocks for the synthesis of pharmaceutical intermediates. The organic phase, containing (S)-ARCA adsorbent and phase transfer reagents, such as ionic liquid type molecules (Tetraphenylphosphonium chloride (TPPC), Octyltriphenylphosponium bromide (OTPPBr)), were coated on the surfaces of mesoporous carbon supports. For the immobilization of chiral adsorbents, meso/macroporous monolithic carbon (MMC), having bimodal pore structures with high surface areas and pore volumes, were fabricated. The separation of chiral AAs by adsorption onto the heterogeneous (S)-ARCA was performed using a continuous flow type packed bed reactor system. The effects of loading amount of ARCA on the support, the molar ratio of AA to ARCA, flow rates, and the type of phase transfer reagent (PTR) on the isolation yields and the optical purity of product D-AAs were investigated. D-AAs were selectively combined to (S)-ARCA through imine formation reaction in an aqueous basic solution of racemic D/L-AA. The (S)-ARCA coated MMC support showed a high selectivity, up to 95 ee%, for the separation of D-type phenylalanine, serine and tryptophan from racemic mixtures. The ionic liquids TPPC and OTPPBr exhibited superior properties to those of the ionic surfactant Cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB), as a PTR, showing constant optical purities of 95 ee%, with high isolation yields for five repeated reuses. The unique separation properties in this heterogeneous adsorption system should provide for an expansion of the applications of porous materials for commercial processes.

The vertical distributions of nitrifying bacteria in aerobic fixed biofilm were investigated to evaluate the relationship between nitrification performance and microbial community at different HRT. Fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) and portable ion selective microelectrode system were adopted to analyze microbial communities and ions profiles according to the biofilm depth. Cilia media packed MLE (Modified Ludzack-Ettinger) like reactor composed of anoxic, aerobic I/II was operated with synthetic wastewater having COD 200 mg/L and $NH_4{^+}$-N mg/L at HRT of 6 hrs and 4 hrs. Total biofilm thickness of aerobic I, II reactor at 4 hrs condition was over two times than that of 6 hrs condition due to the sufficient substrate supply at 4 hrs condition (6 hrs; aerobic I 380 ${\mu}m$ and II 400 ${\mu}m$, 4 hrs; aerobic I 830 ${\mu}m$ and II 1040 ${\mu}m$). As deepen the biofilm detection point, the ratio of ammonia oxidizing bacteria (AOB) was decreased while the ratio of nitrite oxidizing bacteria (NOB) was maintained similar distribution at both HRT condition. The ratio of AOB was higher at 4 hrs than 6 hrs condition and $NH_4{^+}$-N removal efficiency was also higher at 4 hrs with 89.2% than 65.4% of 6 hrs. However, the ratio of NOB was decreased when HRT was reduced from 6 hrs to 4 hrs and $NO_2{^-}$-N accumulation was observed at 4 hrs condition. Therefore, it is considered that insufficient HRT condition could supply sufficient substrate and enrichment of AOB in all depth of fixed biofilm but cause decrease of NOB and nitrite accumulation.

DBD(Dielectric Barrier Discharge) plasma in air is well established for the production of large quantities of ozone and is more recently being applied to aftertreatment processes for HAPs(Hazardous Air Pollutants). Although DBD high electron density and energy, its potential use as nano and sub-micron sized particle charging are not well known. Aim of this work is to determine design and operating parameters of a two-stage ESP with DBD. DBD and ESP are used as particle charger and precipitator, respectively. We measured particle precipitation efficiency of two-stage ESP and estimated ozone decomposition of both pelletized $MnO_2$ catalyst and pelletized activated carbon. To examine the particle precipitation efficiency, nano and sub-micron sized particles were generated by a tube furnace and an atomizer. AC voltage of $7{\sim}10$ kV(rms) and 60 Hz is used as DBD plasma source. DC -8 kV is applied to the ESP for particle precipitation. The overall particle collection efficiency for the two-stage ESP with DBD is over 85 % under 0.64 m/s face velocity. Ozone decomposition efficiency with pelletized $MnO_2$ catalyst or pelletized activated carbon packed bed is over 90 % when the face velocity is under 0.4 m/s in dry air.

수소 등 다성분 혼합가스로부터 고순도의 수소를 얻기 위한 PSA 조업에 있어서 흡착탑 내 활성탄 층 충전길이의 효과를 연구하였다. 기-고상 간 물질전달은 LDF 식을 사용하였고 각 조성물질의 비선형 흡착등온선으로 변형 Langmuir 식을 사용하였다. 각각 다른 흡착성능을 가진 활성탄과 제올라이트 2개의 흡착제를 한 개의 흡착탑 내에 연속 충전시킨 결과 제품의 순도와 회수율 면에서 흡착제의 충전길이 비가 매우 중요하였다. 120 cm인 흡착탑 내 최적의 활성탄 층 길이는 $CO_2$ 농도가 최종 제거되는 부위로 결정되는데 이 때 제품의 최고 순도를 나타내는 지점이 65cm였다.

본 연구에서는 다공성 포화매질내에서 페놀의 제거를 위해 효소 중합반응의 적용성을 조사하였다. 페놀로 오염된 지하수의 모의실험으로 실험실 규모의 모래 충진 칼럼(ID: 4.1 cm, 충진높이: 12 cm)에 HRP와 과산화수소수를 주입하여 페놀 제거율 및 고분자 생성율에 대한 효소량(0$\sim$2 AU/mL), 이온강도(5$\sim$100 mM), pH(5$\sim$9)의 영향을 평가하였다. 페놀의 제거율은 효소량 2.0 AU/mL, 이온강도 20 mM, pH 7에서 각각 유입농도의 90% 이상을 유지하였다. 유입페놀은 다공성 매질에 축적되는 불용성 고분자와 유출되는 용해성 고분자들로 변환되었다. 최대 약 8%의 공극부피가 고분자화 반응으로부터 생산된 불용성 고분자에 의해 감소되었다.
