A two-step cooling technique has been developed for cryopreservation of suspension cultured Scutellaria baicalensis cells. Efficient regrowth of cryopreserved cells was obtained in cryoprotected cells with a mixture of 1.5 M glycerol and 0.4 M sucrose in Schenk and Hildebrandt medium without pretreatment in high osmotic medium. Optimum freezing conditions were found to be a cooling rate of $0.5^{\circ}C$ min from $4^{\circ}C$ to $-40^{\circ}C$, and then retaining samples at $-40^{\circ}C$ for 30 min prior to plunging into liquid nitrogen. A regrowth rate of approximately 95$%$ was obtained after three month storage in liquid nitrogen. Callus cultures established from the cryopreserved cells were found to produce the same patterns of flavonoid accumulation and retain their baicalin producing activity.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the characteristics of lignin fractionated from waste wood (WW) using a two-step process of ethanol organosolv pretreatment followed by ultrafiltration with membranes of different molecular weight cut-offs (1, 5 and 20 kDa). The different permeates obtained were characterized by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and gel permeation chromatography (GPC). The analysis by FT-IR and NMR of these lignins showed that the lignin core was successfully separated from WW. TGA curves confirmed that the thermal properties of lignin fractionated by ultrafiltration were almost identical to each other. The results from GPC confirmed that fractionating of lignin was achieved by ultrafiltration. For the membrane fractionation process, values of molecular weight decreased as the cut-offs used to obtain the fractions became smaller. As a result, fractionating lignin by a two-step process allowed separating different fractions of lignin of different molecular weights yielded high purity without interference from existing pollutants in WW. The two-step process offers the possibility of using fractionated WW as an untapped source of lignin.

Microwave assisted biodiesel production from crude Pongamia pinnata oil using homogeneous base catalyst (KOH) was unsuccessful because of considerable soap formation. Therefore, a two step process of biodiesel production from high free fatty acid (FFA) oil was investigated. In first step, crude P. pinnata oil was acid catalyzed using $H_2SO_4$ and acid value of oil was reduced to less than 4 mg KOH/g. Effect of sulfuric acid concentration, alcohol-oil molar ratio and microwave irradiation time on acid value of oil was studied. Result suggested that 1.5% $H_2SO_4$ (w/w), 6:1 methanol oil molar ratio and 3 min microwave irradiation time was sufficient to reduce the acid value of oil from 12 and 22 mg KOH/g to 2.9 and 3.9 mg/KOH/g, respectively. Oil obtained after pretreatment was subsequently used for microwave assisted alkali catalyzed transesterification. A higher biodiesel yield (99.0%) was achieved by adopting two step processes. Microwave energy efficiency during alkali catalyzed transesterification was also investigated. The results suggested a significant energy saving because of reduced reaction time under microwave heating.

Osmotic power is to produce electric power by using the chemical potential of two flows with the difference of salinity. Water permeates through a semipermeable membrane from a low concentration feed solution to a high concentration draw solution due to osmotic pressure. In a pressure retarded osmosis (PRO) process, river water and wastewater are commonly used as low salinity feed solution, whereas seawater and brine from the SWRO plant are employed as draw solution. During the PRO process using wastewater effluent as feed solution, PRO membrane fouling is usually caused by the convective or diffusive transport of PRO which is the most critical step of PRO membrane in order to prevent membrane fouling. The main objective of this study is to assess the PRO membrane fouling reduction by pretreatment to remove organic matter using coagulation-UF membrane process. The experimental results obtained from the pretreatment test showed that the optimum ferric chloride and PAC dosage for removal of organic matter applied for the coagulation and adsorption process was 50 mg/L as FeCl₃ (optimum pH 5.5). Coagulation-UF pretreatment process was higher removal efficiency of organic matter, as also resulting in the substantial improvement of water flux of PRO membrane.

목질계 바이오매스를 이용하여 효소를 사용하지 않고 발효당을 얻기 위해 황산을 이용한 당화를 수행하였다. 바이오매스로는 pinus rigida와 palm농업 부산물인 EFB를 사용하였다. 산을 이용한 당화에서는 당의 과분해 생성물을 줄이기 위한 당화조건을 생각해 보아야 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 목질계 바이오매스를 이용한 2단 산당화를 수행하였다. 산을 이용한 1차 가수분해에서는 72 wt%의 황산을 이용하여 $80^{\circ}C$에서 반응시켰을 경우 가장 높은 당화율을 보였고 pinus rigida와 EFB 각각 11.49 wt%, 32 wt%의 당화율을 보였다. 이후 1차 가수분해에서 얻은 액상을 9~15 wt%의 산농도가 되도록 묽혀 $50{\sim}120^{\circ}C$의 온도로 2차 가수분해를 진행했다. 2차 가수분해시 9%의 황산농도와 $120^{\circ}C$의 온도조건에서 80분간 반응시켰을 때 최종 글루코오스 당화율은 pinus rigida의 경우 86.8 wt.% (39 g/L), EFB의 경우 95.3 wt%(32.4 g/L)를 얻을 수 있었다. 각 단계에서 분석된 결과는 물질수지를 통해 확인하고 당화 효율을 비교해 보았다.

An experimental research was conducted in order to study the treatability of municipal landfill leachate using a combined physio-chemical and biological treatment. The leachate was obtained from Nanjido landfill site in Seoul. Several sets of bench-scale sequencing batch reactor(SBR) and physic-chemical reactors were used as experimental apparatus. This experiment lasted for about 2 years. The results are as follows: 1. The characteristics of Nanjido landfill leachate were pH 7.4~8.2, BOD 79~450mg/L, COD 998~1460mg/L, $NH_3-N$ 1380~3412mg/L, 7-P 2.6~7.0mg/L, color 890~1992 unit, and heavy metals are a very small amount. 2. Either physio-chemical or biological treatment of Landfill leachate alone did not work well. So for the adequate treatment of leachate, it was necessary to deal with the physio-chemical pretreatment before biological treatment. And it was found that both electrolysis and ozone treatment are better pretreatments of leachate than others. 3. In this study, landfill leachate was effectively processed by two step : first by electrolysis pretreatment, and secondly by SBR treatment. Thus, the study showed considerable substrate removal of raw leachate, even though the rate of COD removal depended on HRT.

이산화탄소는 산업의 발달과 더불어 배출이 증가되고 있는 온실가스 중에 하나로 발생되는 이산화탄소의 일부는 탄소순환과정에 의해 자연계로 순환되지만, 순환될 수 있는 범위를 넘어선 이산화탄소는 적절한 포획과 처리가 필요하다. 이산화탄소 처리 기술 중 광물고정화 방법은 영구적으로 이산화탄소를 처리할 수 있는 방법으로 인식되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 광물고정화의 효율을 높이기 위해, 화학적전처리법을 사용하였다. 화학적전처리법(leaching)은 규산염광물의 알칼리토금속성분(Mg, Ca)이 이산화탄소와 탄산염광물화 반응을 통해 광물고정화가 진행되는 방법임에 착안하여, 산(acid)을 이용해 알칼리토금속성분을 추출해 내 이산화탄소와의 반응 양을 증가시켜 고정화 효율을 높이는 방법이다. 다양한 농도(2 M, 4 M, 6 M)의 황산을 사문석과 반응온도(25, 50, $75^{\circ}C$)와 반응시간(1, 3, 5, 24 h)을 변화시켜 추출된 알칼리토금속성분(Mg, Ca)을 ICP-AES를 이용해 분석하였고 SEM과 BET를 이용하여 황산이 사문석 표면에 미치는 영향에 대해 알아보았는데, 사문석이 황산과 반응하여 표면이 거칠어지며, 비표면적이 $11.1209m^2/g$에서 $98.7903m^2/g$로 증가함을 알 수 있었다. 또 세 변수 모두 증가할수록 추출량도 증가하는 것으로 나타났으며, 특히 $75^{\circ}C$의 경우에는 반응 시간이 1 h 이후에는 시간과 관계없이 포화 추출점에 이르는 것을 확인하였다. 화학적 전처리의 결과 고정화 효율이 23.24%에서 46.30%까지 향상됨을 확인 하였다.

PURPOSE. This study was undertaken to investigate whether use of an adhesive penetration enhancer, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), improves bond stability of fiber posts to root dentin using two two-step etch-and-rinse resin cements. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Forty human maxillary central incisor roots were randomly divided into 4 groups after endodontic treatment and post space preparation, based on the fiber post/cement used with and without DMSO pretreatment. Acid-etched root dentin was treated with 5% DMSO aqueous solution for 60 seconds or with distilled water (control) prior to the application of Excite DSC/Variolink II or One-Step Plus/Duolink for post cementation. After micro-slicing the bonded root dentin, push-out bond strength (P-OBS) test was performed immediately or after 1-year of water storage in each group. Data were analyzed using three-way ANOVA and Student's t-test (${\alpha}$=.05). RESULTS. A significant effect of time, DMSO treatment, and treatment${\times}$time interaction were observed (P<.001). DMSO did not affect immediate bonding of the two cements. Aging significantly reduced P-OBS in control groups (P<.001), while in DMSO-treated groups, no difference in P-OBS was observed after aging (P>.05). CONCLUSION. DMSO-wet bonding might be a beneficial method in preserving the stability of resin-dentin bond strength over time when fiber post is cemented with the tested etch-and-rinse adhesive cements.

The treatment characteristics of leachate produced from pretreatment facilities like composting and feeding were investigated in a mesophilic anaerobic treatment. Experiments were performed in two phase which were acidification and methane fermentation. The acidification step was optimized for OLR from 1 to $4.5kg\;COD/kg\;VS{\cdot}day$ without adding NaOH. As experiment dates became longer, the solubilization ratio of particles increased up to 30% over 70 days. TVA was generated up to maximum 9,970mg HAc/L at OLR of $2kg\;COD/kg\;VS{\cdot}day$. But TVA was generated to minimum 6,519mg HAc/L at OLR of $4.5kg\;COD/kg\;VS{\cdot}day$. The acidification ratio was analyzed from 10.9% to 3.8% at OLR of $2kg\;COD/kg\;VS{\cdot}day$ and $4.5kg\;COD/kg\;VS{\cdot}day$ respectively. After 55 days, salt contents in the acid fermenter were accumulated and stabilized at the concentration of 3,150mg/L. Sodium ion($Na^+$) concentration was stabilized at 1,300mg/L. At methane fermentation step, biogas was generated up to 750ml and 937.5ml at the feeding volume of 20ml and 25ml respectively for acid fermented liquid during 25 days. About 80% of total biogas was generated during early 15 days and 95% were generated during 18 days respectively. After 25 days of the BMP test, acetic acid was removed approximately 97% and 98%, in case of those two experimental conditions.
