Halitosis is defined as a nasty odor emanating through the mouth and is primarily related to the enhanced concentration of volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs). VSC measurements have been commonly used for experimental comparison and clinical diagnosis. As quantitative methods for comparative analyses of oral malodor, gas chromatography devices have been most commonly used to quickly and easily determine the concentration of several gas components of VSCs, which are agents primarily responsible for halitosis. The concentrations of VSCs fluctuate dynamically depending on contributing factors, including various oral/systemic conditions, intake of medicine and food/drink, oral hygiene, and even routine daily activities. Therefore, the exact analysis of VSCs requires the appropriate standardization of not only exact measurement techniques but also participant conditioning with scientific considerations. Thus, this paper describes the experimental standardizations commonly recommended in previous literature and their scientific background.

Comparison of sulfur dioxide primary standard gases of the Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science (KRISS, Korea) and the National Physical Laboratory (NPL, UK) was performed. 100 ${\times}$10-6 mol/mol and 1,000 ${\times}$10-6 mol /mol primary standard gases (designated NPL S115 and S114, respectively) prepared gravimetrically and validated in NPL were used as transfer standards. Transfer standards were analyzed by NDIR sulfur dioxide analyzer and compared with KRISS PSM 112-03-624 and PSM 112-03-625 prepared gravimetrically. Adsorption corrected relative deviations of the primary standard gases were agreed to within 0.1%, and this agreement is within the expanded uncertainties (k = 2) of the primary standards at the two laboratories.

In the present study, we investigated the sulfur poisoning of the Ni anode in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) as a function of operating conditions. Anode supported cells were fabricated, and sulfur poising tests were conducted as a function of current density, $H_2S$ concentration and humidity in the anode gas. The voltage drop was significant under the higher current density (${\sim}714mA/cm^2$) condition, while it was much reduced under the lower current density (${\sim}389mA/cm^2$) condition, at 100 ppm of $H_2S$. A secondary voltage drop, which occurred only at the high current density, was attributed to Ni oxidation in the anode. Thus, operation at high current density with high $H_2S$ concentration may lead to permanent deterioration in the anode. The effect of water content (10%) on the sulfur poisoning was also investigated through a constant current test (${\sim}500mA/cm^2$) at 10 ppm of $H_2S$. The cell operating with 10% wet anode gas showed a much smaller initial voltage drop, in comparison with a dry anode gas. The present study indicates that operating conditions, such as gas humidity and current density, should be carefully taken into account, especially when fuel cells are operated with $H_2S$ containing fuel.

Objectives: This study was carried out to investigate the characteristics of odors emitted from sewage in a sanitary sewer and its outlets. Methods: The concentration of mal-odorous sulfur was analyzed by gas chromatograph, and odor intensity was estimated by an on-site sensory test. Odor intensity calculated from instrumental analysis results was compared with odor intensity observed at field. Results: As a results, the concentration of $H_2S$ ranged from 2.4 ppb to 5,889 ppb (average 703 ppb), while $CH_3SH$, $(CH_3)_2S$, and $(CH_3)_2S_2$ showed from 10 ppb to 554 ppb (average 119 ppb) and from 20 ppb to 332 ppb (average 70 ppb) and from 2.7 ppb to 8.1 ppb (average 5 ppb) individually. Average odor intensity observed in the field was degree three. Odor intensity calculated from sulfur compound concentration was confirmed as similar to the observed odor intensity because the coefficient of variance between the observed and the calculated intensities was less than one. Conclusion: It was expected that the results of this study will be helpful to design a deodorizing device to reduce odor emissions from sewerage facilities in the future.

The main purpose of this study was to investigate sulfur dioxide removal performance of flue gas desulfurization system utilizing a Spray Absorption/Drying Reactor. In this system, the size of droplets was considered the most significant factor and tested using a PDA system. Lime slurry flow rate, operating temperature, calcium/sulfur (Ca/S) ratio and applied air pressure were selected as major operation variables and tested/analyzed in terms of system performance. The results are as follows. 1. The $SO_2$ removal efficiencies were 49%, 74%, 85% for Ca$(OH)_2$ slurry flow rate of 10, 20, 30 ml/min, which implies that the increase of slurry flow rate improves removal efficiency. The optimum slurry flow rate in this study was, however, considered 20 ml/min because of constraints of system troubles and absorbent utilization. 2. As Ca/S ratio increased, $SO_2$ removal efficiency was observed to increase. 3. As air pressure, at the atomizing nozzole, increased from 3 to 5 $kg/cm^2, SO_2$ removal efficiency increased from 74% to 80%, because of droplet size reduction due to pressure increase during atomizing process and the increase of surface area, helping mass transfer between gas and liquid phase.

The effects of reaction temperature, SO2 and CO2 concentration in an air gas stream, particle sizes of limestone on the reactivity and capacity of SO2 removal have been determined in a thermogravimetric analyser(TGA). The apparent reaction order of sulfation reaction of pre-calcined lime(CaO) with respect to SO2 is found to be close to unity. The apparent activation energies are found to be 17,000 kcal/kmol for sulfation of pre-calcined lime and 19,500 kcal/kmol for direct sulfation of limestone(CaCO3). The initial sulfation reaction rate of pre-calcined lime increases with increasing temperature, whereas the sulfur capture capacity exhibits a maximum value at 90$0^{\circ}C$. In direct sulfation of limestone, sulfation reactivity and sulfur capature capacity of sorbent increase with increasing temperature and decreasing CO2 concentration in a gas bulk stream. The main pare of pre-calcined lime is shifted to the larger pore sizes and pore volume decreases with increasing sulfation time and temperature. The surface area of lime decreases with increasing calcination temperature under an air atmosphere, whereas is yearly constant under a CO2(5, 10%) atmosphere in a gas stream.

각각의 황 함유 화합물의 표준곡선을 그렸을 때, linear range의 범위는 $10^2$부터 $10^4$까지의 범위를 보였다. Dimethyl trisulfide가 가장 작은 limit of detection(LOD) 값과 가장 넓은 linear range $(10^4)$를 보이는 반면, methional은 가장 큰 LOD 값과 가장 좁은 linear range$(10^2)$를 가졌다. 각 황 함유 화학물의 분자구조와 PFPD의 황 함유 화합물 분석 원칙에 영향을 받는 것으로 사료된다. 서로 다른 세 종류의 fiber를 사용시, 미세 고체상 추출법(SPME)을 사용했을 때, CAR/PDMS fiber는 가장 좋은 추출 효율을 보였고, 반대로 PDMS/DVB fiber는 가장 낮은 효율을 나타내었다. SPME 방법을 사용하면, 시료에 포함되어 있는 6개의 황 함유 화합물들 중, 최대 5개까지 분석이 가능하였다. 그러나 본 실험에서 사용하지 않은 황 함유 화합물들도 다수 동정 되었는데, 이렇게 추출과정 중 artifacts로 생성된 황 함유 화합물들은 분석 시 오차를 작용할 수 있다. 고정상 기체추출법(SH)은 SPME와 비교했을 때 더 적은 수의 황 함유 화합물을 감지해냈다. SPME와 비교 시 SH의 추출 효율은 낮았지만, artifact로 생성되는 화합물의 수는 적었다.

아황산가스 발생제를 자가 제조하여 포도의 저장 중 병해발생 방지에 이용하는 방법을 확립하기 위하여 sulfite 화합물의 아황산가스 발생 정도와 지속 기간을 측정하고 아황산가스 발생 조절 및 간이 검출 방법을 개발하였다. 포도의 저장 중 잿빛곰팡이병을 일으키는 B. cinerea의 포자 발아와 균사생장은 각각 400 ppm과 3200 ppm의 아황산가스 농도 조건에서 억제되었다. 5종류의 sulfite 및 bisulfite 화합물 중 sodium hydrosulfite는 아황산가스 발생량이 가장 높았으며 이를 비닐 포장하여 포장의 pinhole수를 조절하거나 산 또는 알카리의 pH 조절제를 혼합하면 가스 발생량과 발생 지속 기간을 조절할 수 있었다. Malachite green 용액은 아황산가스에 의해 정량적으로 탈색되어 아황산가스 검출에 이용할 수 있었으며 여과지에 흡수하여 건조할 경우 아황산가스 검출지로 활용할 수 있었다. MBA 포도를 속효성과 지효성의 아황산가스 발생제를 동시에 처리하여 저온 저장할 경우 병해 발생을 감소시킬 수 있었다.
