The objective of this study was to clarify the possibility of adsorption trichloroethylene (TCE) of pretreated granular activated carbon (GAC). The chemical solution used for the acidic treatment was phosphoric acid. In addition, the effect of ultrasound on GAC assessed in this experiments. It was observed that the adsorption of TCE were different based on pH value of pretreated GAC. However, natural water such as groundwater has various factors like ionic strength and hardness etc. Therefore, more laboratory work is needed to study about pretreated GAC.

Supercritical $CO_2$ pretreatment before dehydration leads to a faster dehydration rate. The best supercritical $CO_2$ pretreatment conditions for the most effective dehydration were $45^{\circ}C$, 25 MPa and $55^{\circ}C$, 25 MPa. Increasing pressure of the supercritical $CO_2$ pretreatment system tended to accelerate the dehydration rate more than increasing temperature did. Samples pretreated at higher temperatures and pressures showed greater shrinking and pore distribution on scanning electron microscopy. Control samples maintained their cell walls, whereas samples pretreated at higher temperatures and pressures showed more cell disruption, and more pores were observed. Pore sizes of control and pretreated samples were about 100 and $70{\sim}80\;{\mu}m$, respectively. Samples pretreated at higher temperatures and pressures had smaller pores and a denser distribution.

For the enhancement of the nucleation density of the diamond film, we introduced the cyclic process. The cyclic process was carried out by the on/off control of CH$_4$ flow rate for a relatively short time (10 min), compared with the total reaction time (6 h). Prior to depositing the diamond film, we made the pretreated glass substrate via the unidirectional scratch using ∼l $\mu\textrm{m}$ size diamond powders. Diamond films were deposited on the pretreated glass substrate in a microwave plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (MPECVD) system. We observed the enhancement of the nucleation density of the diamond films caused by the cyclic process. Detailed surface morphologies of the substrate were investigated after the cyclic process. Based on these results, we discussed the cause for the enhancement of the nucleation density on the pretreated glass substrate by the cyclic process.

The three domestic natural zeolites(Yong dong-ri (Y), Daesin-ri (D), Seogdong-ri (S)) harvested in Kyeongju-shi and Pohang-shi, Kyungsangbug-Do, were pretreatd with each of the NaOH, $Ca(OH)_2$ and NaOH following HCl solutions, and the removal performances of divalent haevy metals(Cu, Mn, Pb, and Sr) for natural and pretreated zeolites were investigated and compared in the single and mixed solutions. The natural zeolite-heavy metal system attained the final equilibrium plateau within 20 min, irrespective of initial heavy metal concentration. The heavy metal uptakes increased with increasing initial heavy metal concentration and pH. The heavy metal uptakes for natural zeolites decreased in the following sequences : D>Y>S among the natural zeolites; Pb>Cu>Sr>Mn among the heavy metals. The pretreated zeolites showed higher heavy metal removal performances than natural zeolites and decreased in the order of NaOH, NaOH following HCl, $Ca(OH)_2$ treatment among the pretreatment methods. The heavy metal ion exchange capacity by natural and pretreated zeolites was described either by Freundlich equation or Langmuir equation, but it followed the former better than the latter. The heavy metal uptakes for natural zeolites decreased in the mixed solution, in comparing with those in the single solution and especially, the manganese uptake decreased greatly in the mixed solution. The pretreated zeolites showed the improved removal performances of heavy metals in the mixed solution than in the single solution and the heavy metal uptakes by those in the mixed solution showed the same trends in the single solution among the chemical treatment methods and heavy metals.

This study was performed to evaluate the effect of liver damage on toluene metabolism in rats pretreated with carbon tetachloride. Liver damage in rats was induced by administration of 0.1ml of carbon tetrachloride per 100g of body wight intraperitoneally every day for four weeks except the last day before sacrifice. One day before sacrifice, toluene was administered to the animals instead of carbon tetrachloride. Rats were sacrificed at the 1st, the 2nd, the 3rd and the 4th week after the first administration of carbon tetachloride. Based on the histopathological findings, liver weight and serum alanine aminotransferase, the $CCl_4$-preteated group was found to have gradual severe liver damage. Especially the degree of liver injury became increasingly severe throughout the whole course of the experiment. The contnts of hippuric acid in urine lower in the all groups pretreated with $CCl_4$than that of the control. The contents of hepatic cytochrome P450(CYP), benzylalcohol dehydrogenase and benzaldehyde dehydrogenase activities were decreased in $CCl_4$-pretreated rats than those of the control. The $CCl_4$treated animals showed the gradual decreased activities of these enzyme as injection times elapsed. Km values of the benzylalcohol dehydrogenase in pooled liver samples from $CCl_4$-pretreated or control groups were similar. On the other hand, Vmax values of the $CCl_4$-pretreated group was lower than of the control. Therefore, it can be concluded that reduction of the toluene metabolism in damaged rat liver induced with $CCl_4$was due to the inhibition of CYP content, bezylalcohol and benzaldehyde dehydrogenase activities which related with toluene metabolic enzyme system.

In the sequence of carbon tetrachloride hepatotoxicity, increased serum levels of a number of enzymes have been demonstrated in experimental animals. These observations, therefore, have served to help in detecting hepatic injury. The serological influence of chlorpromazine (CPZ) and iproniazid on the acute $CCl_4$ poisoning was executed in this investigation taking use of 6 albino rabbits (around 2 kg b.w.) in each group. By measuring of blood sugar level (Nelson-Somogyi method), S-GOT and S-GPT activities (Reitman-Frankel method), the pharmacological effects of the drugs was evaluated setting pretreated groups against the control. The results obtained were summarized as follows: 1. The intramuscular injection of $CCl_4$ led to increase the blood sugar level in first 3 hours and, after that, to decrease reasonably. But CPZ-pretreated group showed a tendency of increasing in compare with the control, and iproniazid-pretreated group inhibited evidently. 2. In S-GOT activity, the increased level was induced by $CCl_4$ in control. And CPZ-pretreated group showed a increased level until first day and decreased rapidly. But this property inhibited inhibited significantly by pretreating with iproniazid. 3. Although a single dose of $CCl_4$ increased the S-GPT activity, the more increasing trend was observed in CPZ-pretreated group. But these tendencies depressed remarkably in the iproniazid-pretreated group. It seemed to be attributed not to defend the $CCl_4$ toxicity but to be suppressed the enzyme systems in the liver by iproniazid that the blood sugar level and serum transaminase activities was decreased significantly in pretreating with iproniazid.

본 연구는 화학적 전처리 공정이 목질계 바이오매스의 효소 가수분해에 미치는 영향을 구명할 목적으로 이태리포플러 분말을 1% 황산과 수산화나트륨 수용액을 이용하여 각각 $150^{\circ}C$와 $160^{\circ}C$에서 한 시간 동안 전처리를 실시하였다. 전처리된 시료는 건조과정을 거친 시료와 건조과정을 거치치 않은 시료로 각각 구분하여 화학적, 물리적 성상 및 효소 당화 효율에 미치는 영향을 비교, 분석하였다. 황산 전처리에 의한 바이오매스의 분해율은 약 24.5%로 수산화나트륨 전처리에 의한 분해율(18.6%)보다 약 6% 이상 높게 측정되었다. 반면, 탈리그닌화는 수산화나트륨이 우수하여 황산을 이용한 전처리보다 약 2% 가량 높게 나타났다. 결정화도는 미처리 시료와 비교하였을 때 황산과 수산화나트륨으로 전처리한 시료 모두 다소 높은 값을 나타내었는데, 이는 전처리 과정에서 비결정성 셀룰로오스가 결정영역보다 선택적으로 분해됨으로서 나타난 결과로 예측되었다. 주사전자현미경에 의한 표면 미세구조 관찰 결과, 황산, 수산화나트륨 전처리 모두 구성 성분들을 분해함으로써 목질바이오매스의 표면을 미처리 시료보다 거칠게 만들고 부분적인 균열을 발생시키는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 그러나 황산 전처리-건조 시료에서는 이러한 표면 거칠음이 대조구와 유사하게 다시 변화하였음을 관찰하였다. 시료 표면의 기공분포는 두가지 전처리 과정 모두를 통해 크게 증가하였음을 확인하였다. 그러나 수산화나트륨에 의해 전처리된 시료는 건조과정을 거친 경우에도 기공분포가 점차적으로 증가하는 경향을 보였지만, 황산으로 전처리한 시료는 건조과정을 거치면서 전처리에 의해 증가한 기공 분포가 다시 급격히 감소하여 미처리 시료와 유사한 기공분포를 나타내었다. 황산 전처리 후 건조과정을 거친 시료와 미건조 시료는 효소가수분해에 의한 소화율이 각각 7.0%와 26.9%로 측정된 반면, 수산화나트륨 전처리 후 건조된 시료와 미건조시료는 각각 39.7%와 45.8%로 나타나 알칼리에 의한 전처리가 산 전처리보다 소화율 향상을 위해 더 우수하였으며, 이러한 높은 소화율은 당화 효율에도 커다란 영향을 미치는 것으로 판명되었다. 아울러 전처리된 바이오매스의 건조는 소화율 및 당화 수율에 지대한 영향을 미친다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

흰쥐에 있어서 toluene 또는 ethanol 전처치가 toluene 대사에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지를 검토하는 일환으로 흰쥐에 toluene 또는 ethanol을 경시별로 4주간 투여한 다음, 톨루엔을 1회 재투여한 후 처치하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 즉, 간조직의 광학 및 전자현미경을 통한 병리조직학적 소견과 체중당 간무게, 혈청 alanine aminotransferase 활성 및 간조직 중 glutathione 함량 변동을 관찰한 결과, toluene 및 ethanol 전처치군 모두 가역적 간손상 정도가 관찰되었으며 톨루엔 및 에탄올 전처치군 간에 간손상 정도 차이는 볼 수 없었다. 이러한 실험동물 모델에서 toluene 및 ethanol 전처치군 모두 요 중 마뇨산 농도가 대조군 보다 높게 나타났으며 toluene 대사에 관여하는 간조직의 cytochrome P-450 함량 및 benzylacohol(BAD) 또는 benzaldehyde dehydrogenase(BzAD) 활성치가 대조군 보다 높게 나타났다. 그리고 요 중 마뇨산 농도와 BAD 및 BzAD 의 활성치는 톨루엔 전처치군이 에탄올 전처치군 보다 전 실험기간 동안 대체로 다소 높게 나타났다. 또한 간조직의 benzylalcohol dehydrogenase의 반응속도를 관찰한 결과 $V_{max}$치는 toluene 및 alcohol 전처치군 모두 대조군 보다 높게 나타났다. 이상 실험결과를 종합해 볼 때 실험동물에 toluene 및 ethanol 전처치가 toluene 대사를 촉진시키며 이는 toluene 대사에 관여하는 효소활성에 영향을 미쳐 나타난 결과로 생각된다.
