Torrefaction and hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) are productive methods to reclaim energy from lignocellulosic biomass. The hydrophobic, homogenized, energy dense and carbon rich solid fuel can be obtain from torrefaction and hydrothermal carbonization. Dead leaves were carbonized in a stainless steel reactor of volume 200 ml with torrefaction ($250-270^{\circ}C$) for 120 minutes and hydrothermal carbonization ($200-250^{\circ}C$) for 30 minutes, with mass yield solid fuel ranging from 57-70% and energy content from 16.81MJ/kg to 22.01 MJ/kg compare to the biomass. The char produced from torrefaction process possess high energy content than hydrothermal carbonization. The highest energy yield of 89.96% was obtained by torrefaction at $250^{\circ}C$. The energy densification ratio fluctuated in between 1.15 to 1.30. On the basis of pore size distribution of the chars, the definition of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) was used as a classification standard. The pore diameter was ranging within 11.09-19 nm which play important role in water holding capacity in soil. Larger pores can hold water and provide passage for small pores. Therefore, it can be concluded that high pore size char can be obtained my HTC process and high energy content char of 22.01 MJ/Kg with 34.04% increase in energy can be obtain by torrefaction process.

High temperature deformation behavior of Fe-28Al-5Cr alloy has been investigated known to show anomalous temperature dependence of yield strength. Specifically, the effect of Cr addition has been examined. A series of tensile and load relaxation tests have been carried out to obtain the flow behavior of Fe-28Al-5Cr alloy at the elevated temperatures. The flow curves have then been analyzed using the inelastic deformation theory recently proposed. Firstly, high temperature flow stress of iron aluminides can be resolved into internal stress and frictional stress. Secondly, the temperature corresponding to peak strength gets higher level at faster strain rate, which presumably due to the increased contribution of internal stress in observed flow stress. And thirdly, the alloying of Cr seems to cause solid-solution strengthening of frictional stress level and the elevation of 2nd order transition temperature. In this analogy, Fe-28Al-5Cr exhibits better strength especially at relatively higher temperature and lower strain rate than Fe-28Al.

The steady shear flow properties of six kinds of commercial toothpastes were measured using a concentric cylinder type rheometer. In this paper, the shear rate and temperature dependencies of their flow behavior were investigated and the validity of the Casson and Herschel-Bulkley models was examined. Further, the flow properties over a wide temperature range were quantitatively evaluated by calculating the various material parameters. Main results obtained from this study can be summarized as follows: (1) Toothpastes are plastic fluids with a yield stress and their flow behavior shows shear-thinning characteristics. (2) With increasing temperature, the degree of shear-thinning becomes weaker and the Newtonian flow behavior occurs at a lower shear rate range. (3) The Herschel-Bulkley model is more effective than the Casson model in predicting their flow behavior. (4) As the temperature increases, the yield stress, plastic viscosity and consistency index become smaller, on the contrary, the flow behavior index becomes larger.

This study compared Ojeok-san (Wuji-san in Chinese) decoctions produced using different extraction methods for variable times. Decoctions were extracted in pressurized or non-pressurized conditions for 60, 120, and 180 mins. We investigated the Ojeok-san extract yield, the total soluble solid content, the hydrogen ion concentration (pH), and the reference compound content. The extract yield and the total soluble solid content were higher in decoctions produced by non-pressurized extraction; both were proportional to the extraction time. The pH tended to decrease as the extraction time was increased in decoctions produced using both methods. After 60 and 180 mins, the levels of albiflorin, paeoniflorin, nodakenin, naringin, and neohesperidin were significantly higher in decoctions extracted using the non-pressurized method compared with those extracted using the pressurized method. After 120 mins, only cinnamaldehyde was extracted in a greater amount in pressurized decoctions compared with non-pressurized decoctions. The levels of paeoniflorin, ferulic acid, nodakenin, naringin, hesperidin, neohesperidin, and glycyrrhizin increased with time in non-pressurized decoctions. This study showed that the use of pressurized and non-pressurized extraction methods for different times affected the composition of Ojeoksan (Wuji-san) decoctions.

Enzymatic treatment conditions for red ginseng residue (RGR) were investigated to apply RGR as a microbial medium. Polysaccharide hydrolyase and protease were screened to obtain high solid and carbohydrate yields, and a good degree of carbohydrate hydrolysis. The optimal dosage and reaction time for Viscozyme, the chosen polysaccharide hydrolyase, were found to be 1.0% (w/w) and 3 h, respectively. Of the tested proteases, Flavourzyme, whose optimal dosage was 0.5% (w/w), was selected. Co-treatment with the optimal dosages of Flavourzyme and Viscozyme increased solid yield, carbohydrate yield, and degree of carbohydrate hydrolysis by 76%, 65%, and 1,865%, respectively, over levels in non-treated RGR. The culture characteristics of Leuconostoc mesenteroides strain KACC 91459P grown in enzymatically hydrolyzed red ginseng residue (ERGR) and RGR suspensions were compared. After cultivation for 6 h, the viable cell counts of both cell suspensions rapidly increased to $1.3{\times}10^9$ colony-forming units (CFU)/g. Moreover, while the viable cell population drastically decreased to $2.4{\times}10^6\;CFU/g$ for cells grown in RGR medium, it was maintained in cells fermented in ERGR medium for 24 h.

In this paper experimental results are presented for the rheological behavior of high-solids saccharification of mixed northeast hardwood as a model feedstock. The experimental determination of the viscosity, shear stress, and shear rate relationships of the 10 to 20 percent slurry concentrations with constant enzyme concentrations were performed under variable rotational speed of a viscometer (2.0 to 200 RPM) at combined temperatures (50 to $30^{\circ}C$) for the initial four hours. The viscosities of saccharification slurries observed were in the ranges of 0.024 to 0.028, 0.401 to 0.058, and 0.840 to 0.087 Pa s for shear rates up to 100 reciprocal seconds at 10, 15, and 20 percent initial solids (w/v) respectively. The fluid behavior of the suspensions was modeled using the power-law, the Herschel-Bulkley, the Casson, and the Bingham model. The results showed that broth slurries were pseudoplastic with a yield stress. The model slope increased and the model intercept decreased with increasing fermentation time at shear rates normal for the fermentor. The broth slurries exhibited Newtonian behavior at high and low shear rates during initial saccharification process. The solid particle size ranged from 57.8 to $70.0{\mu}m$ for $40^{\circ}C$ and from 44.0 to 57.5 11m for combined temperatures at 10, 15, and 20 percent initial solids (w/v) respectively.

Pretreatment of wastepaper using aqueous glycerol was investigated to enhance the enzymatic hydrolysis. The effects of four factors (solid/liquid ratio, glycerol concentration, acid concentration, and reaction time) on the dissolution yield, the removal of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin, and the enzymatic digestibility were examined at $150^{\circ}C$. The 1/8 of solid/liquid was determined to perform the reaction uniformly, and the 93% of glycerol concentration was found to be a minimum concentration to conduct the reaction under atmospheric pressure. Also, it was found that the acid concentration and reaction time were strongly related to the dissolution yield and the removal of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin, but moderately to the enzymatic digestibility. At an optimum condition of $150^{\circ}C$, 1 h and 1% acid concentration, 56% and 49% of hemicellulose and lignin, respectively, were removed, while only 4% of cellulose was removed. The enzymatic digestibility at this condition was 86%, meaning that 83% of the glucan present in the initial substrate was converted to glucose. Compared to glycerol with ethylene glycol as a pretreatment solvent, glycerol is much cheaper than ethylene glycol, but ethylene glycol is superior to glycerol in delignification.

난황 단백질의 효소에 의한 가수분해에서 에탄올의 농도가 증가할수록 고형물과 단백질의 회수가 증가함을 알 수 있었다. 이것은 유화층을 에탄올의 증가가 감소시켰기 때문이다. 그러나 가수분해물에서 단백질 함량이나 sialic acid의 함량은 에탄을 농도와는 관계없이 일정하였다. 한외여과 후에 retentate에 대한 에탄올의 영향을 조사하였다. 마찬가지로 고형물의 회수는 에탄을 농도의 증가와 함께 증가하였다. 그리고 retentate에서 sialic acid의 함량은 대략 $2.5\%$정도로 일정하고 에탄올의 농도에 영향을 받지 않았다 이상의 결과로부터 난황 단백질의 효소 가수분해를 통해 sialic acid가 함유된 제품을 얻고자 할 때는 원료 난황단백질에 포함된 에탄올의 함량을 증가시킬수록 높은 수율의 제품을 얻을 수 있다. 본 실험에서는 원료 난황 단백질 중에서 $40\%$의 에탄을 함량까지는 제품 수율이 계속 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 난황 단백질 가수분해물의 한외여과에서 농축단계에서는 막 모듈의 MWCO의 차이에도 불구하고 retentate에서 총 고형물의 회수율은 비슷함을 나타내었으며, 투석에서 회수율은 MWCO가 작을수록 높아지지는 않았다. 제품에서의 sialic acid의 함량은 사용한 모듈에서 약 $2.0\%$를 나타내었다. 이것은 단백질 가수분해물에 비해 5배정도 상승한 결과이다. 본 연구에서 사용된 막 모듈 가운데서 Amicon 모듈이 제품의 회수율과 함량면에서 가장 우수한 특성을 보였다. 결론적으로 난황 단백질의 protease에 의한 가수분해에서 한외여과에 의해 순도를 높일 때 MWCO, 막 모듈의 type 그리고 운전조건 등을 잘 고려해 줄 때 최적의 조업조건을 얻을 수 있었다.

음식물쓰레기와 종이류로 구성된 유기성고형폐기물(고형물 함량 30% TS)을 대상으로 중온 건식혐기성소화를 시도하였고, 연속 운전 중 수리학적 체류 시간(HRT)을 150일, 100일, 60일, 40일로 감소시켰다. 기질의 고형물 농도를 30% TS (Total Solids)로 고정하였기 때문에 각각의 HRT에 해당하는 고형물 부하는 2.0, 3.0, 5.0, 7.5 kg TS/$m^3$/d였다. HRT를 줄임에 따라 단위용적 당 바이오가스 생산 속도는 증가하였고, HRT 40일에서 3.49${\pm}$0.31 $m^3/m^3/d$로 가장 높은 성능을 보였다. 이 때, 76%의 휘발성 고형물(VS) 분해율이 유지되었고, 0.25 $m^3$/kg $TS_{added}$의 메탄 생산 전환율을 보였으며, 이는 기질의 67.4%에 해당하는 에너지가 메탄 가스로 전환된 것을 의미한다. HRT 100일에서 0.52 $m^3$/kg $TS_{added}$로 가장 높은 바이오가스 전환율을 보였지만, 모든 HRT에서 0.45${\sim}$0.52 $m^3$/kg $TS_{added}$로 큰 차이가 나지 않았다. 고형물 함량이 높은 기질의 원활한 주입을 위해 소화조 발효액의 일부를 기질 투입구로 반송하여 기질과 혼합 후 주입하였다. 주입하고자 하는 기질의 5배에 해당하는 양의 소화조 발효액을 반송하여 혼합하였을 때, 가장 효과적인 기질 주입이 이루어졌다. 중온 건식 조건에서 서식하는 메탄 소화균의 활성도를 측정한 결과, 아세트산, 뷰틸산, 프로피온산을 이용할 경우 각각 2.66, 1.94, 1.20 mL $CH_4/g$ VS/d였다.

본 연구에서는 은수원사시나무의 산 당화공정에서 생성되는 고형 부산물의 화학적, 구조적 특성을 관찰하였다. 산 가수분해는 황산과 염산을 사용하였고, 1차 가수분해농도를 72%, 36%, 18%로 변화를 주었고, 2차 가수분해에서 4%로 동일하게 희석하였다. 가수분해 후 액상 가수분해액과 고형 부산물을 각각 분리하였고 고형 부산물을 각각 RS72, RS36, RS18, RC36, RC18이라고 하였다. 황산의 농도가 높아짐에 따라 생성된 고형부산물은 감소(71.2~21.4%)하였지만, 염산의 농도는 고형 부산물의 생성량(65.0~67.0%)에 큰 영향을 주지 않았다. 또한 RS36과 RS18은 고형 부산물 질량 대비 23.6%, RC36과 RC18은 각각 25.6%, 27.3%가 리그닌으로 이루어져 있었다. 고형 부산물의 열분해산물 분석 결과 Levoglucosan, Furfural 등 탄수화물 유래 물질과 리그닌 유래 물질인 Guaiacol, Syringol 등이 검출되었지만 RS72에서는 리그닌 유래 물질만이 검출되었다. 또한 열중량분석결과 고형 부산물 내 리그닌 함량이 높아질수록 다량의 탄이 생성되고 최대 중량 감소율이 감소하여 염산에 비해 황산이, 또한 산의 농도가 높을수록 화학적으로 축합된 구조를 형성하는 것을 확인하였다.
