  • This study was conducted to evaluate development of seed pellet technique such as pellet polymer search, the shape formation and hardness, the germination and emergence rate of the pellet seeds for labor-saving and reducing production cost in onion(Allium cepa L.) cultivation. The pellet seeds shape formation was good such as kaolin, clay, ash, and gypsum, and clay was good shape formation but surface of pellet seed was cracked during the drying. PG(pearlite + gypsum) as pellet material and PVA as binder were the best among the material in consideration with shape and hardness together. The hardness of the pellet seeds was affected by polymers, the kinds and concentration of binders, and that degree was large at polymer. The high hardness polymers were gypsum and coal ash, but burned lime was the lowest hardness among the pellet material. The germination(GP) and emergence percentage(EP) of pellet seed with PG in vitro were the highest among the material, and that was 93.6, 91.8%, respectively. The EP of pellet seed with PG at 20, $25^{\circ}C$ were 91.3, 92.0%, respectively, The EP of pellet seed were over the 91%, and those did not show difference with field moisture capacity , and that of 5 and 6mm size seed were the highest as 92%, respectively. and other size seeds showed over 90%, too. The EP of pellet seed with PG was decreasing as increasing the sowing depth, and that of at 10mm sowing depth was the highest as 92.7%. The time to 50% emergence of that under 70% field moisture capacity was 158h, and that was delayed at 20h compare to control seed.

  • In order to investigate effects of loess on the mycelial pellet formation a phosphate dissolving fungus, Penicillium sp. GL-101, was cultured in potato dextrose broth containing loess. The strain formed an amorphous pellet or loose aggregates agitated at a low speed(50rpm) while spherical and regular pellets at a high speed(150rpm). The higher concentration of loess, the smaller size of a pellet in the medium formed by the strain. Cultured in the medium supplemented with 1.5% loess the pellet size was reduced to a seventh compared to the control. In the case of addition of several insoluble salts, which are main components of loess, to the culture medium the higher concentrations of salts, the smaller sizes of pellet formed by the strain and the smallest pellet was formed by the addition of calcium sulfate.

  • The compressibility sinterability sintering behaviour and thermal stability of AlOOH added UO2 pellt and PVA-Al(III) complex added UO2 pellet were investigated respectively. Compared with characteristics of AlOOH added UO2 pellet the green density and the sintered density of PVA-Al(III) complex added UO2 pellet were lowered but the grain size and the pore size of that were more increased in accordance with higher compacting pressure. The AlOOH added UO2 pellet had the grain size of about 14${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ with monomodal pore size distribution while the PVA-Al(III) complex added UO2 pellet had the grain size of about 42 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ with bimodal pore size distribution. The PVA-A(III) complex added UO2 pellet had a similiar open porosity to the AlOOH added UO2 pellet and a lower resintered density change than the AlOOH added UO2 pellet.

  • In order to investigate effects if loess on the mycellial pellet formation a phosphate-solubilizing fungus. Aspergillus sp. PS-104 was cultured in potato dextrose broth containing loess. The strain formed an amorphous pellet or loose aggregates agitated at a low speed (50 rpm) while spherical and regular pellets at a high speed (150 rpm) The higher concentration of loess was added, the smaller size of a pellet was formed during the submerged culture of the strain. As shown in results, being cultured in the PDB medium supplemented with 1.0% loess the pellet size was maximally reduced to a fourth compared to the control. Evaluating the addition effect of several components of loess such as $SiO_2$, $Fe_2O_3$, $Al_2O_3$, $CaCO_3$, $CaSO_4$ and $MgCO_3$ on the reduction of mycellial pellet size the higher concentration was supplied, the smaller size of pellet was formed except $Al_2O_3$. And the smallest pellet size was recorded at the concentration of 1.0% (W/V) magnesium carbonate.

  • In order to minimize the mycelial pellet size of a high phosphate-solubilizing fungus, Aspergillus sp. PS-104 in liquid media, one of the critical obstacles during the submerged culture of filamentous fungi, an investigation was focused on the culture conditions (media and inoculum size) and additives (different soils, surfactants and polyethylene glycol 200). When the fungus was cultured in PDB, SDB and YPD media. their pellet sizes decreased in the order of SDB=YPD>PDB. At the higher concentrations of initial inoculum ranging from $1{\times}10^3$ to $1{\times}10^7$ conidia/ml, the smaller size of pellet was formed in the PDB medium. In addition, the pellet size was effectively reduced by 1/6${\sim}$1/4 by the addition of 0.1% soil containing zeolite, diatomite, loess, kaoline and talc, excluding bentonite. The addition of 0.1% Tween 80, Triton X-100 and PEG 200 also decreased the pellet size, but SDS completely inhibited the fungal growth.

  • In order to minimize the mycelial pellet formation, one of the critical obstacles during the fermentation processes of filamentous fungi, an investigation was focused on the culture conditions(media and initial inoculum) and additives(soils, surfactants and polyethylene glycol 200) when a high phosphate-dissolving fungus, Penicillium sp. GL-101, was cultured in liquid media. Culturing the strain in PDB, SDB and YPD media, their pellet sizes decreased to the order of YPD > SDB > PDB. And at the high concentrations of the initial inoculum in the range from $1{\times}10^3\;to\;1{\times}10^6$ conidia/ml, the small sizes of pellet were formed in the PDB media. For the initial inoculum between $1{\times}10^7\;and\;1{\times}10^8$ conidia/ml, however, an amorphous pellet or loose aggregate was formed. The addition of soils, zeolite and diatomite, up to 1.0% decreased the pellet sizes to 3/4 and 1/2, respectively, but the pellet was increased to 2.5 times by the addition of bentonite. Surfactants also affected on the size of pellet; the addition of Triton X-100 and Tween 80 up to 1.0% decreased the pellet sizes maximally to 1/10 and 1/4, respectively, while SDS completely inhibited the fungal growth. Among the four additives tsted, polyethylene glycol 200 was the most effectively reduced the pellet sizes to $0.2{\pm}0.1$mm that resulted in about 25- fold reduction compared to the control.

  • The pellets from a culture of Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) that were submerged shaken were disintegrated into numerous hyphal fragments by DNase treatment. The pellets were increasingly dispersed by hyaluronidase treatment, and mycelial fragments were easily detached from the pellets. The submerged mycelium grew by forming complexes with calcium phosphate precipitates or kaolin, a soil particle. Therefore, the pellet formation of Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) can be considered a biofilm formation, including the participation of adhesive extracellular polymers and the insoluble substrates.

  • The characterization of the complexation reaction of PVA and Al(III) ion at different pH and the sint-ering behaviour of UO2 containing the PVA-Al(III) complexes were investigated. Compared with pure PVA powder the complexed PVA-Al(III) powder had compacter shape and lower decomposition temperature The major phase of PVA-Al(III) complex decomposed at 90$0^{\circ}C$ was $\alpha$-Al2O3 The PVA-Al(III) complex formed at pH 9 had the lowest relative viscosity the highest Al content of 36% and the smallest particle size of 19${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ While the pure UO2 pellet appeared with bimodal one. The grain size of the pure UO2 pellet was 7${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ but that of the PVA-Al(III) complex added UO2 pellet was increased up to 36${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ The largest grain size was ob-tained when the PVA-Al(III) complex formed at pH9 was added and the PVA-Al(III) complex formed at pH 11 had the greatest effect on increasing pore size.

  • This study reports the formation characteristics of tar, ash and clinker due to a wood pellet grade and the performance analysis of wood pellet boiler in terms of the moisture contents change of the wood pellet. Tar was accumulated on the heating surface according to combustion of wood pellet, the ash was yielded on the floor of combustion chamber in a wood pellet boiler and the clinker was solidified at the burner due to combustion of the 3rd grade wood pellet. Especially, the moisture contents is important factor to define the grade. Wood of logging residues has a non-uniform moisture contents after the field process, yields of tar, ash and clinker are increased in case of combustion due to the high ash contents. For these reasons, emission of harmful compounds in the exhaust gas, decrease of boiler efficiency and the system operating errors are observed. In the performance analysis of wood pellet boiler in terms of the moisture contents change of the 1st grade wood pellet, the boiler efficiency was reduced by 27.08% with 6.6% moisture contents increase. The optimum moisture contents of wood pellet is needed to improve the boiler performance and efficiency.

  • We made densified wood pellet by hemp woody core as replacing wood resource. Hemp was separated into the bast fiber and the woody core by hot steaming treatment. The hemp woody core had a similar lignin content and carbohydrate composition with hardwood. Also, the hemp had a low ash content, which resulted in a low ash formation in pellet burning. Heating value of the hemp pellet had a very similar to the pellet made by hardwoods. The hemp woody core can replace hardwood for densified wood pelletmaking.
