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.

The objectives of this research are to investigate the proper coagulation conditions which are a type and doses of coagulants, mixing conditions (velocity gradients and mixing times), pH and so on through Jar-test, to evaluate the flux variations, permeate, backwashing according to characteristics of pretreatment of the wastewater by means of MF membranes for river maintenance water reuse. The effluent water from B-city K-sewage treatment plant are used for this research. Turbidity and suspended solids(SS) are 14.2 NTU and 10.4 mg/L respectively. This condition causes fouling for membrane process. The flux decline could be reduced when coagulation pretreatment was carried out. Optimal coagulations PAC which are commonly used in the sewage treatment plant was observed in this research. The results indicate that an optimal coagulation dose and pH are 80 ppm and pH of 7 respectively, but coagulation efficiency was lower at strong acid or strong base. Results showed that continuous and steady operations in membrane separation process by means of the effective removal of organic matter and turbidity with coagulation pretreatment of sewage secondary effluent were achieved.

Reuse of industrial effluents through the cooling systems in a petrochemical complex was described. The partial oxidation of the effluents from the biological treatment plant was examined, using Fenton''s reagent as a pretreatment step prior to a next treatment of the effluents. Next tertiary treatment using fixed-film reactor resulted in marked reductions in COD and suspended solids. The continuous fixed-film process with Fenton oxidation pretreatment showed a 23% increase in the COD removal efficiency when compared to that without pretreatment of Fenton oxidation under the volumetric organic loading rate of 0.1 kg COD/m3/day. The Fenton oxidation treatment seemed to be a possible method for tertiary biological treatment to reduce the residual toxicity with the enhanced biodegradation of the effluents.

In this work, colorants extraction process from gromwell was studied for making powder form of colorants by solving the high viscosity problem of gromwell extracts. In order to do that, sugar extracted together with colorants must be pre-extracted. For sugar decomposition, gromwell roots were pretreated with various enzyme solutions. The total sugar content of pre-extract with enzyme solution was measured. Accordingly, the effects of enzyme type and pretreatment condition on sugar decomposition were investigated to find appropriate enzyme(amylase, hemicellulase, pectinase) and enzyme activity (100~1000unit), pre-extracted time(3~24hr). Color characteristics and dye uptake of dyed fabrics were evaluated. Gromwell colorants were assessed for their potential antimicrobial activities, which possibly expand their end use as functional pigments. The efficiency of removing sugar was increased in the order of hemicellulase, pectinase, amylase, $H_2O$. Gromwell colorants powder yield was in the range of 4.4% to 9.8% depending on pretreatment enzyme. Gromwell colorants produced RP color on the silk and wool fabrics with good dye uptake. Antimicrobial activity of gromwell colorants will greatly increase its potentiality for applying as functional natural colorants in the future.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the partial oxidation of the biological treatment plant effluents using Fenton's reagent as a pretreatment step prior to a tertiary biological oxidation of these effluents. Fenton's reagent was evaluated as a pretreatment process for inhibitory or refractory organics. Based on the Fenton oxidation system, the petrochemical wastewater treatment plant effluent was shown to have significant improvement in toxicity after oxidation with hydrogen peroxide. For example, at ranee of 42 ∼ 184 mg/L COD of petrochemical plant effluents, the COD removal efficiencies were from 38.2% to 60.1% after reaction with hydrogen peroxide 200 mg/L and Fe2+ 100 mg/L and reaction time was 30 minutes. The total TOC reduction were about 15.8∼22.4% with same test condition and difference between the overall removal rate and BOD/COD ratio after Fenton's oxidation estabilished in the biodegradation and otherwise meets the discharge standard or reuse for cooling tower make-up water.

The study investigated the impact of substrate pretreatment on depositing high-quality B-doped diamond (BDD) thin films using the HFCVD method. Films were deposited on Si and Nb substrates after sanding and seeding. Despite identical sanding conditions, BDD films formed faster on Nb due to even diamond seed distribution. Post-deposition, film average roughness (R_a) remained similar to substrate R_a, but higher substrate R_a led to decreased crystallinity. Nb substrate with 0.83 ㎛ R_a exhibited faster crystal growth due to dense, evenly distributed diamond seeds. BDD film on Nb with 0.83 ㎛ R_a showed a wide, stable potential window (2.8 eV) in CV results and a prominent 1332 cm^-1 diamond peak in R_aman spectroscopy, indicating high quality. The findings underscore the critical role of substrate pretreatment in achieving high-quality BDD film fabrication, crucial for applications demanding robust p-type semiconductors with superior electrical properties.

우리 연구팀은, 농산부산물인 유채대의 알콜 발효용 당화물 생산 가능성을 연구하였다. 이를 위해 농산부산물인 유채대를 연속적으로 5 mL/min의 속도로 산을 이용하지 않고 증류수만을 이용해 이단 고온 처리 ($200^{\circ}C$ and 15 Mpa, $375^{\circ}C$ and 23 Mpa)하였다. 본 전처리 공정을 통한 가수수분해물의 당화물 생성은 최종적으로 자일로스와 글루코스의 경우 25.6 g/L, 5.5 g/L가 생성되었다. 이는 유채대에 존재하는 글루코스와 자일로스의 초기 양 대비 각각 18%와 59%의 전환 수율을 나타낸다. 또한 이 공정은 타 공정들에 비하여 대표발효 저해 산물인 HMF의 생성량이 0.2 ppm으로 극히 낮은 수치를 보였으며, 가수분해물의 에탄올 생산시, 글루코스의 발효를 통한 에탄올 생성 전환수율이 90% 이상으로 높은 생성율을 보였다. 따라서 본 공정을 통해 다른 농산부산물이나 해조류 전체에 응용된다면, 고 수율의 에탄올 생산용 당화물을 생산할 것으로 예상한다.

Densification is a process for improving the strength properties of wood from the felling of young trees, which is a common harvest practice in community forests. A series of experiments was conducted to refine the process with particular regard to the determination of suitable pretreatment and treatment conditions. Samples of pine and gmelina measuring $23cm(L){\times}20cm(W){\times}2cm(T)$ underwent pretreatment through immersion in a 1:1 $CH_3COOH-H_2O_2$ solution at concentrations of 15%, 20%, and 30%. Samples pretreated with the 20% solution showed the greatest improvement in strength; further experiments were conducted to determine the optimum treatment conditions in terms of temperature and duration following immersion. Test samples with the same dimensions as those in the pretreatment experiment were soaked in a 1:1 20% $CH_3COOH-H_2O_2$ solution and warmed in a water bath. The test samples were then individually hot pressed to the target thickness, which was 30% less than the original thickness and held at $150^{\circ}C$ or $170^{\circ}C$ for 15 or 30 minutes. The treated samples were cut for an analysis of their density, recovery of set, and bending strength. Pine and gmelina exhibited the best characteristics after treatment at $150^{\circ}C$ for 30 and 15 minutes, respectively. The results suggest that the modified densification process had increased the bending strength of the wood, but the temperature and duration of treatment must be carefully considered for different wood species.
