섬유소계 바이오매스의 전처리를 위한 암모니아수에 의한 침지공정(SAA; Soaking in Aqueous Ammonia)은 낮은 온도와 낮은 압력의 조건에서 수행하는 전처리 공정으로 고온고압이 필요로 하는 다른 전처리방법에 비해 그에 대한 비용을 절감할 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 다양한 바이오매스를 SAA공정에 적용시켜 그 특성을 보고자 한다. 실험을 행한 전처리 공정의 온도, 반응시간 그리고 암모니아수의 농도는 각각 $50{^{\circ}C}$, 72시간 그리고 15 wt%이다. 전처리 공정에 의해 초본계열은 탈리그닌이 초기 성분에 대해 60%로 되었고 전처리 전의 10-20%에 불과하던 당전환율이 전처리 후에 60-90%의 당전환율로 약 80%가 향상된 것으로 나타났지만 목본계열의 리그닌 성분은 10%정도만 제거되었고 당전환율은 전처리하지 않는 것과 별다른 차이를 보이지 않았다.

Green alga, Ulva pertusa kjelmann has been known to be one of the largest pollutants in Korea. Therefore, the efficient pretreatment processes have been required to improve the yields of fermentable sugar. The optimal pretreatment conditions were determined to be $195^{\circ}C$ for 15 min. The sugar yield of glucose and xylose were estimated as 20.5%, and 5.0% respectively, based on theoretical yields. However solid residues were estimated enzymatic digestibility of 90-95% with cellulase loading of 15 FPU/g glucan. This process was proved to generate the low concentration of Hydroxy-Methyl-Furfural (51 ppm), which resulted in ethanol production with 95% of the maximum conversion yield from glucose in the culture of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (ATCC, 24858). This study showed that Ulva pertusa kjellmann can be used as a bioetahnol resource using the high temperature liquefaction process.

We investigated cleaning effects using $NH_4OH$ solution on the surface of Cu film. A 20 nm Cu film was deposited on Ti / p-Si (100) by sputter deposition and was exposed to air for growth of the native Cu oxide. In order to remove the Cu native oxide, an $NH_4OH$ cleaning process with and without TS-40A pre-treatment was carried out. After the $NH_4OH$ cleaning without TS-40A pretreatment, the sheet resistance Rs of the Cu film and the surface morphology changed slightly(${\Delta}Rs:{\sim}10m{\Omega}/sq.$). On the other hand, after $NH_4OH$ cleaning with TS-40A pretreatment, the Rs of the Cu film changed abruptly (${\Delta}Rs:till{\sim}700m{\Omega}/sq.$); in addition, cracks showed on the surface of the Cu film. According to XPS results, Si ingredient was detected on the surface of all Cu films pretreated with TS-40A. This Si ingredient(a kind of silicate) may result from the TS-40A solution, because sodium metasilicate is included in TS-40A as an alkaline degreasing agent. Finally, we found that the $NH_4OH$ cleaning process without pretreatment using an alkaline cleanser containing a silicate ingredient is more useful at removing Cu oxides on Cu film. In addition, we found that in the $NH_4OH$ cleaning process, an alkaline cleanser like Metex TS-40A, containing sodium metasilicate, can cause cracks on the surface of Cu film.

This study was aimed at ultrafiltration (UF) as a pretreatment before reverse osmosis (RO) within the scheme of hybrid reverse osmosis-multistage flush (RO-MSF) desalination. Seawater at elevated temperature (after MSF heat-exchangers) was used as a feed in this process. The pretreatment system was represented as a set of functionally-linked technological segments such as: UF filtration, backwashing, chemical- enhanced backwashing, cleaning, waste disposal, etc. The process represents the sequences of operating cycles. The cycle, in turn, consists of the following unit operations: filtration, backwashing and chemical-enhanced backwashing (CEB). Quantitative assessment was based on the following indicators: normalized permeability, transmembrane pressure, specific energy and water consumption, specific waste generation. UF pre-treatment is accompanied by the following waste streams: $W1=1.19{\times}10$ power of $-2m^3$ (disposed NaOCl with 0.0044% wt.)/$m^3$ (filtrate); $W2=5.95{\times}10$ power of $-3m^3$ (disposed $H_2SO_4$ with 0.052% wt.)/$m^3$(filtrate); $W3=7.26{\times}10$ power of $-2m^3$ (disposed sea water)/$m^3$ (filtrate). Specific energy consumption is $1.11{\times}10$ power of $-1kWh/m^3$ (filtrate). The indicators evaluated over the cycles with conventional (non-chemical) backwashing were compared with the cycles accompanied by CEB. A positive impact of CEB on performance indicators was demonstrated namely: normalized UF resistance remains unchanged within the regime accompanied by CEB, whereas the lack of CEB results in 30% of its growth. Those quantitative indicators can be incorporated into the target function for solving different optimization problems. They can be used in the software for optimisation of operating regimes or in the synthesis of optimal flow- diagram. The cycle characteristics, process parameters and water quality data are attached.

The effect of reductive treatment with elemental iron on the extent of mineralization by Fenton oxidation was studied for the explosive 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) and hexahydro-l,3,5-trinitro-l,3,5-triazine (RDX) using a completely-stirred tank reactor (CSTR). The results support the hypothesis that TNT and RDX are reduced with elemental iron to products that are oxidized more rapidly and completely by Fenton's reagent. Iron pretreatment enhanced the extent of TOC removal by approximately $20\%\;and\;60\%$ for TNT and RDX, respectively. Complete TOC removal was achieved for TNT and RDX solutions with iron pretreatment under optimal conditions. On the other hand, without iron pretreatment, complete mineralization of TNT and RDX solutions were not achieved even with much higher $H_2O_2$ and $Fe^{2+}$ concentrations. The bench-scale iron treatment-Fenton oxidation integrated system showed more than $95\%$ TOC removal for TNT and RDX solutions under optimal conditions. The proposed zero-valent iron-Fenton process was evaluated with pink water from the Iowa Army ammunition plant. Results from batch and column experiments show that TNT, RDX, and octahydro-l,3,5,7-tetranitro-l,3,5,7-tetrazocine (HMX) were completely removed from the pink water and that triaminotoluene (TAT) and ${NH_4}^+$ were recovered as products in reduction with zero-valent iron. By using an integrated system, $83.3\pm4.2\%$ of TOC was removed in a CSTR with 10 mM of $Fe^{2+}$ and 50 mM of $H_2O_2$. These results suggest that the reduction products of TNT and RDX are more rapidly and completely mineralized by Fenton oxidation and that a sequential iron treatment-Fenton oxidation process may be a viable technology for pink water treatment.

산소 플라즈마 전처리에 의한 PET 기판 위에 Ga이 도핑된 ZnO 투명전극 (GZO)의 특성변화를 고찰하였다. GZO 박막은 RF 마그네트론 스퍼터링 공정에 의해 합성하였으며 GZO 증착 이전에 PET 기판의 표면에너지를 높이고 GZO 박막과의 접촉특성을 향상시키기 위해 산소플라즈마 공정을 적용하였다. 산소 플라즈마 처리공정을 시행함에 따라 GZO 박막의 결정성과 전기적 특성이 향상하였다. RF 파워를 100 W로 하고, 플라즈마 처리시간을 600초로 하였을 때 GZO 박막의 최저 비저항 값인 $1.90{\times}10^{-3}{\Omega}-cm$의 양호한 특성을 확인되었다.

건조채소류의 제조시 품질손상을 줄이고자 삼투건조와 steam 및 boiling water, microwave를 이용하여 전처리를 행한 후 열풍건조하여 적절한 전처리 방법을 알아보고자 건조와 재수화 공정을 행하여 각 공정의 물리적인 특성을 조사하였으며, 기존의 건조 모델을 적용하여 수분이동 메카니즘을 설명하고, 건조당근의 관능적 특성을 조사하였다. 전처리는 처리시간이 길수록 수분과 carotene 함량이 낮아졌으나 물리적인 특성을 고려하여 최적 처리 시간을 STEAM과 WATER 는 각 10분, MICRO는 1분으로 결정하였다. 최적 조건에서 전처리를 행한 후 $69^{\circ}C$, 상대습도 33%의 열풍건조 조건에서 건조를 행한 후 열탕에서 10분간 재수화 하여 carotene 및 수분함량, 색도와 복원율 등을 알아본 결과, 건조 효율은 타처리구가 삼투처리보다 우수하였으나 carotene 함량은 삼투건조가 높은 값을 보였고 그 효과는 재수화 후에도 지속하였다. 전처리를 각기 달리한 당근의 품질에 대하여 관능검사를 실시한 결과, 외관과 색도 그리고 종합적인 기호면에서 건조 후의 품질은 삼투처리한 열풍건조의 경우가 전처리 하지 않은 동결건조 처리구 보다 건조 및 재수화 후 높은 점수를 나타내었다. 건조공정을 기존의 건조모델로 표현하고자 적합성 여부를 조사해 본 결과 전처리방법에 관계없이 quadratic 모델이 가장 높은 적합도를 보여 수분의 이동을 시간의 함수로 나타낼 수 있었다. 재수화 공정에의 적용성은 기존의 건조 및 흡습모델로 표현하기는 미흡한 것으로 나타났다.

The effects of biological pretreatment on the Japanese red pine Pinus densiflora, was evaluated after exposure to three white rot fungi Ceriporia lacerata, Stereum hirsutum, and Polyporus brumalis. Change in chemical composition, structural modification, and their susceptibility to enzymatic saccharification in the degraded wood were analyzed. Of the three white rot fungi tested, S. hirsutum selectively degraded the lignin of this sortwood rather than the holocellulose component. After eight weeks of pretreatment with S. hirsutum, total weight loss was 10.7%, while lignin loss was the highest at 14.52% among the tested samples. However, holocellulose loss was lower at 7.81 % compared to those of C. lacerata and P. brumalis. Extracelluar enzymes from S. hirsutum showed higher activity of ligninase and lower activity of cellulase than those from other white rot fungi. Thus, total weight loss and changes in chemical composition of the Japanese red pine was well correlated with the enzyme activities related with lignin- and cellulose degradation in these fungi. Based on the data obtained from analysis of physical characterization of degraded wood by X-ray Diffractometry (XRD) and pore size distribution, S. hirsutum was considered as an effective potential fungus for biological pretreatment. In particular, the increase of available pore size of over 120 nm in pretreated wood powder with S. hirsutum made enzymes accessible for further enzymatic saccharification. When Japanese red pine chips treated with S. hirsutum were enzymatically saccharified using commercial enzymes (Cellulclast 1.5 L and Novozyme 188), sugar yield was greatly increased (21.01 %) compared to non-pre treated control samples, indicating that white rot fungus S. hirsutum provides an effective process in increasing sugar yield from woody biomass.

Organic by-products derived from cellulose and lignin during organosolv pretreatments of yellow poplar wood (Liriodendron tulipifera) in the presence of $H_2SO_4$ and NaOH as catalysts, respectively, were subjected to various analyses to elucidate their effects on further performance of biological ethanol fermentation and provide preliminary data for the structure and utilization of organosolv lignin. Monomeric sugars amounted to ca. 2.2-7.7% in the organosoluble fraction of the organosolv pretreatment with $H_2SO_4$, while significantly low amount of sugars (0.2-0.3%) were determined in that of the organosolv pretreatment with NaOH. In case of addition of $H_2SO_4$ during organosolv pretreatment of biomass, a fermentation of the organosoluble fraction could be considered as an essential process to increase an efficiency of biomass utilization as well as yield of bioethanol. Precipitates, insoluble by-products in the solvent mixture, were also cficiency oed by diverse analytical methods and revealed that these were typically composed of a lignin moiety regardless of catalyst. According to the results of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), Fourier Tcinsform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) and Gel permeation chromatograp r (GPC), the main components of precipitates seem to be lignin polymers. However, their structures could be slightly modified during pretreatment and mixed with some carbohydrates by chemical bonds and/or physical associations.
