The aim of this study was to assess the effect of pre-aeration on sludge solubilization and the behaviors of nitrogen, dissolved sulfide, sulfate, and siloxane. The results of this study showed that soluble chemical oxygen demand in sewage sludge could be increased through pre-aeration. The pre-aeration process resulted in a higher methane yield compared to the anaerobic condition (blank). The pre-aeration of sewage sludge, therefore, was shown to be an effective method for enhancing the digestibility of the sewage sludge. In addition, this result confirms that the pre-aeration of sewage sludge prior to its anaerobic digestion accelerates the growth of methanogenic bacteria. Removal rates for $NH_3$-N and T-N increased simultaneously during pre-aeration, indicating simultaneous nitrification and denitrification. The siloxane concentration in sewage sludge decreased by 40% after 96 hr of pre-aeration; in contrast, the sulfide concentration in sewage sludge did not change. Therefore, pre-aeration can be employed as an efficient treatment option to achieve higher methane yield and lower siloxane concentration in sewage sludge. In addition, reduction of nitrogen loading by pre-aeration can reduce operating costs to achieve better effluent water quality in wastewater treatment plant and benefit the anaerobic process by minimizing the toxic effect of ammonia.

Abstract-Si direct bonding(SDB) technology is very attractive for both Si-on-insulator(SOI) electric devices and MEMS applications because of its stress free structure and stability. This paper presents on pre-bonding according to HF pre-treatment conditions in Si wafer direct bonding. The characteristics of bonded sample were measured under different bonding conditions of HF concentration, and applied pressure. The bonding strength was evaluated by tensile strength method. The bonded interface and the void were analyzed by using SEM and IR camera, respectively. Components existed in the interlayer were analysed by using FT-lR. The bond strength depends on the HF pre-treatment condition before pre-bonding (Min : 2.4kgf/cm$^2$∼Max : 14.9kgf/cm$^2$).

SiC direct bonding technology is very attractive for both SiCOI(SiC-on-insulator) electric devices and SiC-MEMS fileds because of its application possibility in harsh environements. This paper presents on pre-bonding according to HF pre-treatment conditions in SiC wafer direct bonding using PECVD oxide. The PECVD oxide was characterized by XPS and AFM, respectively. The characteristics of bonded sample were measured under different bonding conditions of HF concentration and applied pressure, respectively. The bonding strength was evaluated by tensile strength method. Components existed in the interlayer were analyzed by using FT-IR. The bond strength depends on the HF pre-treatment condition before pre-bonding (Min : 5.3 kgf/$cm^2{\sim}$ Max : 15.5 kgf/$cm^2$).

Objectives : The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of low frequency electro-acupuncture at ST39 on intestinal motility in rats. Methods : Intestinal hypermotility and hypomotility in rats were induced by oral carbachol ingestion and loperamide injection. Rats were divided into seventeen experimental groups including the normal and holder groups. The rats were induced with intestinal hypermotility and hypomotility and divided into pre and post-treatment groups. I also carried out acupuncture (needle retention) and low frequency electro-acupuncture at ST39 or the sham point. I fed charcoal to rats after the treatment and calculated its distance travelled in the gastrointestinal tract, which was compared by groups so as to determine which treatment was more effective in increasing or decreasing intestinal motility. Results : 1. In normal rats, low frequency electro-acupuncture at ST39 showed no significant effect on intestinal motility. 2. Pre-treatment with acupuncture (needle retention) at ST39 on intestinal motility over-activated with carbachol significantly decreased intestinal motility in rats. 3. Pre-treatment with low frequency electro-acupuncture at ST39 on intestinal motility over-activated with carbachol significantly decreased intestinal motility in rats. 4. Pre-treatment with acupuncture (needle retention and low frequency electro-acupuncture) at ST39 showed no significant effect on intestinal hypomotility in rats that was induced by loperamide injection. Conclusions : These results suggest that acupuncture (needle retention) and low frequency electro-acupuncture at ST39 have preventive effects on intestinal hypermotility. Regardless of the stimulation method, ST39 showed an effect on intestinal motility. Further study is required to confirm other effects of ST39.

For the biodiesel fuel production from microalgae, the lipid from wet and dry samples of green algae Scenedesmus sp. was extracted by using various solvents and pre-treatment methods. Extraction yield of the lyophilized sample was better than that of dry sample. Chloroform/methanol (2:1, v/v) and ultrasonication or homogenization method were also selected as the most effective solvent and pre-treatment methods for lipid extraction, respectively. Under these constraint conditions, optimization experiment of lipid extraction was investigated by Taguchi approach using orthogonal matrix $L_9$ ($3^4$) method. The optimum extraction conditions of lipid extraction was obtained at pre-treatment of homogenization, extraction time of 5 hour, temperature of $35^{\circ}C$, and solvent ratio of 1:20 (w/v). Yield of extraction at optimized condition was 20.55% and it was 96% of total lipid content (21.38%) of Scenedesmus sp.

Si기판 직접접합기술은 전자소자 및 MEMS에의 응용에 있어 대단히 매력적인 기술이다. 본 논문에서는 Si기판 직접접합에 있어서 HF 전처리 조건에 따른 초기접합에 관하여 서술한다. 접합된 시료들의 특성은 HF 농도, 인가하중과 같이 각각의 접합조건하에서 분석하였으며, 접합력은 인장강도측정법에 의해 평가하였다. 계면상의 결합성분과 표면의 거칠기는 FT-IR과 AFM을 사용하여 평가하였다. HF 전처리 후 Si기판 표면상의 Si-F결합은 DI water에 세정하는 동안 Si-OH로 재배열되며, 결과적으로 hydrophobic 기판은 Si-OH$\cdots$(HOH$\cdots$HOH$\cdots$HOH)$\cdots$OH-S의 수소결합되어 hydrophilic화된다. 초기접합력은 초기접합전의 HF 전처리 조건에 의존한다.

불용성 전극은 전기화학 공정에 있어 가장 핵심적인 소재이며, 이를 이용한 전기화학적 수처리 공정은 난분해성 물질을 제거하는 유용한 방법으로서 이에 대한 연구가 지속적으로 이루어져 오고 있다. 전기화학적 수처리 공정은 주로 산화전극에서의 산화반응과 환원전극에서의 환원반응을 이용하는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 불용성 전극의 제조공정에서 전처리 방법이 전극의 수명에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 실험결과 촉매전극층을 코팅하는 물질계 및 코팅방법을 동일하게 하는 경우에도 기판의 전처리 방법 즉, 기판표면의 조도, 세정방법, 중간층 형성 여부 및 방법 등에 따라 전극의 수명이 크게 달라지는 것을 확인하였다. 실험은 가장 많이 사용되는 전극의 하나인 $IrO_2/Ti$ 전극을 대상으로 하였다. 샌드 블라스팅 공정의 경우 입도를 달리하는 샌딩 미디어를 이용하여 전극을 제조하고 이에 대한 수명을 평가한 결과 #80알루미나(입도 $212{\sim}180{\mu}m$)를 이용하는 경우가 가장 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. 기판에 대한 세정 공정은 arc plasma를 이용하는 것이 가장 우수하였으며, 중간층을 형성함에 있어서는 스퍼터링법을 이용하여 Ta 계열의 중간층을 형성하는 방법을 적용하는 것이 가장 바람직한 것으로 확인되었다.

The empty fruit bunch fibers(EFB) of oil palm were examined for optimal utilization of the EFB fibers. The EFB fibers were obtained by shredding EFB, followe by removal of fines. The surface properties of the fibers were modified with various pre-treatments, such as hot water extraction, the soaking treatments with NaOH, $ClO_2$ and n-hexane. The changes in the fiber surface were examined with FT-IR method, which showed the changes in chemical compositions such as pectin, lignin, and etc. according to the pre-treatment methods. And the z-directional tensile testing of the fiber mold made of the treated EFB fibers showed the changes in the bonding strength by the pre-treatments. The fiber mold made of EFB fibers treated with $ClO_2$ showed the greater increase in the tensile energy absorption although the NaOH treatment resulted in the severer impact on the EFB fibers.

Thermal shock or overheating of WGS catalyst for SEWGS system during hydrogen pre-treatment can cause reactivity decay of the catalyst. To select appropriate pre-treatment condition, temperature profiles of catalyst bed (or outside fluidized particle bed of bed insert) during pre-treatment were measured and then CO conversions of those catalysts during WGS reaction were also measured and compared. Drastic overheating of catalyst took place when we reduce catalyst at fixed bed condition and these catalysts showed low CO conversion during WGS reaction. On the contrary, there was no overheating of catalyst at fluidized bed condition not only physical mixing case but also bed insert case. Spring type bed insert showed acceptable CO conversion even at low WGS content. Consequently, feasibility of high CO conversion without decay of reactivity of catalyst and holding the WGS catalyst inside the SEWGS reactor as tablet shape were confirmed using spring type bed insert.
