꽃향유로부터 정유물을 추출하여 천연향료로 개발하기 위하여 수증기증류법으로 추출하고 추출공정의 최적 조건을 반응표면 분석법으로 얻고자 하였다. 수증기증류법의 추출조건에 따른 꽃향유 추출물의 품질특성으로 수율과 총페놀화합물, 전자공여능과 주요 향기성분으로 estragole 과 thymol, beta-caryophyllene의 함량을 분석하였다. 추출온도가 추출시간보다 더 큰 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났으며, 각 품질 특성에 대하여 수립된 예측모델식이

Activated carbons were prepared from Korean coal by steam activation in this study. The variation of pore structure of the activated carbons were investigated according to different carbonization temperatures. Yield, surface area, pore volume and pore structure of this activated carbon were compared with those of activated carbon prepared without carbonization. The investigated carbonization temperature ranged from 700℃ to 1,000℃. Carbonization was carried out in nitrogen atmosphere for 70 minutes and activation was performed by steam at 950℃ for 210 minutes. Surface area and pore volume of the resulting activated carbons increased with carbonization temperature. Also pore volume increased by 20% compared to the activated carbon without carbonization. Especially, in mesopore region, the activated carbon carbonized at 900℃ had more pores by 60% than that of activated carbon carbonized at other temperature.

Activated carbons were prepared from Youngwall coal by steam activation in this study. The feasibility of the Youngwall coal to commercial activated carbon was examined. The variation of pore structures and the development of porosity in activated carbons were investigated by changing activation conditions in batch type apparatus. The values of BET surface area and adsorption capacity of iodine and methylene blue of the resulting activated carbons were obtained as high as 1,000㎡/g, 900㎎/g, 150㎖/g, respectively. Youngwall activated carbon prepared in this study showed much higher pore volume in pore diameter over l0Å than that of commercial reference activated carbon(Ningxia Taihua ZJ-15C) produced from China anthracite.
